چکیده
The on-farm attempt to cut down feed costs through bulk fortification of standard animal with available cheap conventional ingredients or wastes had been a normal practice without known empirical impact on livestock health and wellbeing. Therefore, this study determined the haematological parameters serum biochemistry pigs fed cocoa (Theobroma cacao) seed testa at varying inclusion levels in formulated grower pig feed; T1:0% CST, T2:25% T3:50% T4:75% CST T5:100% CST. Thirty (30) 8-week-old were randomly assigned five treatments six each replicated thrice, two per replicate completely randomised design (CRD). experiment lasted for 10 weeks. At end feeding trial, blood samples collected from three treatment jugular vein using hypodermic needle syringe analysis biochemistry. This recorded significant differences (P<0.05) most parameters, except white cell (WBC), platelet heterophils; apart high-density lipoprotein, all biochemical indices also significantly different (P<0.05). Haematological within range healthy pig, lymphocytes. However, based results it could be concluded that 25% level optimum support wellbeing performance pigs.

متن کاملIdentification of procyanidins in cocoa (Theobroma cacao) and chocolate using high-performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry.
Monomeric and oligomeric procyanidins present in cocoa and chocolate were separated and identified using a modified normal-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method coupled with on-line mass spectrometry (MS) analysis using an atmospheric pressure ionization electrospray chamber. The chromatographic separation was achieved using a silica stationary phase in combination with a g...
