Nutritive value of sunflower seed for swine

Nutritive Requirements of Swine

THE HOG excels other livestock as an economical converter of feed into body tissue, the products of which are largely meat and fat. Fundamentally, the nutritive requirements of swine are not so complicated as those of other classes of livestock. The swine ration is largely made up of concentrated feeds with only a small proportion of roughage, aside from good pasture. Hogs grow rapidly and most...

Seed Distribution Uniformity of Sunflower

In this study, four different type seeders were evaluated for seed spacing, depth uniformity, and plant emergence at three forward speeds (3.6, 5.4, and 7.2 km h-1). The planter types were: no-till planter, precision vacuum planter, universal planter, and semi-automatic potato planter. The sowing uniformity of the horizontal distribution of seeds was described by using the multiple index, the m...

Nutritive Value of Sawdust

The present study was undertaken to observe the chemical composition of different types of sawdust available in the urban and peri-urban areas of Chittagong, Bangladesh. Twenty different types of sawdust from different plants were collected from study areas. Chemical analyses of the samples were carried out in triplicate for moisture, dry matter (DM), metabolizable energy (ME), crude protein (C...

Evaluation Corn Gluten Meal Nutritive Value for Broiler Chicks

Objective: The aim of this experiment was to determine chemical composition, protein quality of corn gluten meal (CGM) and its effect on growth performance of broiler chicks. Methods: Chemical composition and nitrogen corrected true metabolizable energy of CGM was determined by standard and precision-fed cockerel assay methods.  For evaluating of protein quality, 90 male broiler chicks in a com...
