The Use of Sesame Meal in Diets of Japanese Quail

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of different levels of sesame meal (SM) on performance and carcass characteristics of Japanese quail. One hundred sixty day-old Japanese quail chick were equally distributed into 16 cage pens and reared form 10 to 42 days of age. The treatments consisted of SM0, SM50, SM100 and SM150. The diet for SM0 treatment had no SM (control), while those ...

The effect of using different levels of shrimp meal in laying hen diets.

The shrimp industry in Central America has grown significantly. Much waste is generated by this industry because of the high percentage of shrimp heads, exoskeletons, and soluble components lost during processing.

Requirement of Digestible Sulfur Amino Acids in Laying Hens Fed Sorghum- and Soybean Meal-Based Diets

Two experiments were done to evaluate the effect of increasing levels of dietary digestible methionine (Met) and Met:cysteine (Met:Cys) ratio on the productivity of Hy-Line W-36 laying hens fed sorghumand soybean meal-based diets. In Exp. 1, 160 hens from 68 to 75 weeks of age were assigned to four dietary levels of digestible Met (0.20 0.24, 0.28 and 0.32%). The digestible total sulfur amino a...

Phytase supplementation improved P utilisation of the laying hens fed barley - oats - soybean meal based diets

The objective of the study was to determine the effect of Quantum Blue phytase on P utilisation and bone parameter in laying hens fed barley, oat and soybean meal based diets. Over a period of 40 days 64 laying hens (from 29 weeks of age) were distributed to 4 treatments (8 cages, two birds each). Experimental diets with no inorganic P added were supplemented with 0, 150, 300 or 1200 FTU phytas...
