Safflower Meal—Utilization as a Protein Source for Broiler Rations

The Use of a Meat and Bone Meal as a Protein Source for Pig Rations

The use of a’ meat and bone meal as the main protein source for pigs of 20 kg was investigated. It was compared in two feeding periods with soybean and fish meals alone or with mixtures of the two. The pigs, fed either the soybean or the fish meal or the meat and bone meal with either soybean or fish meal, had significantly heavier weight gains than the pigs fed a ration with meat and bone meal...

Faba Beans as an Alternative Protein Source for Broiler Chicken Feed

A lower price on poultry meat, compared with other meats (beef, pork etc.), affects the increasing demand for poultry meat. The productivity and production cost of broiler chickens are directly related to the amount of feed fed, the proportion of crude protein in the feed, and the biological value and price of the feed. The EU produces only 30% of the protein crops used for feed; thus, the larg...

Use of Soybean Meal, Fish Meal, and Meat and Bone Meal as Protein Supplements in Broiler Rations

Walnut Meal as an Excellent Source of Energy and Protein for Growing Japanese Quails

The present study was designed to study the chemical composition, apparent and true metabolizable energy values of the walnut meal and to evaluate the effects of different levels of walnut meal (0, 10, 20 and 30%) on Japanese quail's growth performance, blood metabolites, relative weight of different organs, malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration in breast meat and egg yolks' cholesterol. This stu...

CRYPTOSPORIDUM IN SHEEP AS A SOURCE FOR HUMAN INFECTION

Cryptosporidium is a protozoan parasite that infects epithelial cells of the intestine in a wide variety of vertebrates. During the last decade, cryptosporidiosis has emerged as a cause of diarrhea in man. Most of the' patients have AIDS, and have had contact with infected animals. In this study ' 510 samples were collected from sheep and examined for detection of this parasite. The result...
