An experiment has been conducted to evaluate the various levels of single cell protein on fecal microflora and productive traits of broiler chickens. A total of 192 day-old Ross 308 male chicks were randomly divided into 4 tr...

Prospects of Utilizing Insects as Alternative Sources of Protein in Poultry Diets in Botswana: a Review

Feed costs account for nearly 70 to 80% of the total production costs as nearly all ingredients used in feed manufacturing in Botswana are imported. Therefore, complete feeds are expensive and out of reach of smallholder poultry farmers who lack economies of scale and access to credit. This makes the prospects of utilising insects as a source of protein feasible because they are available throu...

Effect of Dietary Protein Sources on Lamb’s Performance: A Review

Protein and energy are the two major components of feed that influence performance of the growing and fattening lambs. Provision of the quality of protein in the lamb’s diet does not only improve the animal performance but also ensures profitable animal production. Different vegetable protein sources are used to formulate the rations for growing and fattening lambs. These protein sources differ...

Review: Use of Animal Fats in Aquaculture Feeds

Formulated aquaculture feeds are among the most expensive animal feeds on the market. These feeds are often high in lipids, the bulk of which is generally provided by fish oil. Because of its high cost and potential long-term supply problems, it is now widely acknowledged that fish oil should be used more sparingly in aquafeeds. Rendered animal fats are economical lipid sources that have been u...
