Nutritive value of Eurolysine bacterial protein and Pekilo protein for growing pigs

Bacterial protein meal in diets for growing pigs: effects on protein and energy metabolism.

This experiment investigated the effects of increasing the dietary content of bacterial protein meal (BPM) on the protein and energy metabolism of pigs from weaning to a live weight of 80 kg. Four litters with four castrated male pigs in each litter were used. The litters were divided into two blocks according to age. One pig from each litter was fed one of the four experimental diets. Soya-bea...

Nutritive value of cereal and cassava diets for growing and fattening pigs in Nigeria.

In a previous report (Oyenuga & Opeke, 1957) the nutritional and economic importance, real and potential, of cassava root (Manihot utilissima Pohl) to man and in livestock production in Nigeria was stressed. Cassava is not only the most widely grown vegetable in Nigeria (it accounted for nearly 50% of the total root crops produced in the country in I ~ ~ o I ) , it is also the most productive f...

The Nutritive Value of Yeast Protein.*

The idea of the use of yeast as a source of food protein for man and the higher.animals is not a new one; it has, however, been given renewed emphasis by the exigencies of the food situation during the war. Yeast is a highly nitrogenous by-product of the fermentation industries which heretofore has been largely wasted. It also presents the possibility of a synthetic production of protein from e...

Dietary protein level and performance of growing Baladi kids

A study was conducted to evaluate the effect of feeding different levels of protein to black Baladi breed kids. Weanling Baladi kids (n=18; 75 to 90 days old) were selected and individually housed at our experimental farm. Kids were divided randomly to one of the three treatments for 12 weeks. The three dietary treatments were: T1: control ration, formulated according to NRC to cover the protei...
