Growth and Reproductive Performance of Eisenia Foetida in Cow Manure, Cow Manure + Sugarcane Bagasse, and Cow Manure + Sawdust Waste

Accumulation of sawdust and sugarcane bagasse can cause serious problems for the environment. In this study, we examined the growth and reproductive performance of Eisenia foetida in cow manure, cow manure + sugarcane bagasse (4:1, V/V) and cow manure + sawdust (4:1, V/V) waste and its effects on CO2 evolution. The results showed that the weight gain for E. foetida (live weight) per gram of dry...

Study on the Use of Dried Poultry Litter in the Camel's Ration

A feeding trial of 120 days duration was conducted to study the effect of replacing 20 and 25 % of camel ration by poultry litter (PL) on the performance and some blood biochemical parameters. Fifteen healthy one–humped camels were allotted into three groups (5 animals / group). The first group was fed a basal ration and considered as control, while the second and third groups were fed rations ...

Butyrate Metabolism in the Lactating Cow S-

The possibility that butyrate may be glucogenic in ruminants has been suggested by several experimental studies. Intravenous injection of butyrate in sheep was followed by increased concentrations of blood sugar (1) and, in lambs, it was found that butyrate was more effective than propionate for alleviating insulin-induced hypoglycemia (2) ; acetate injection did not have a similar effect in ei...
