Feeding value of dried lime pulp in broiler diets

Use of Dried Distiller’s Grains with Solubles for Swine Diets

Two experiments were conducted to determine the energy value of DDGS. In Experiment 1, 360 pigs (each initially 38.5 lb) were used in a 22 d growth assay. Treatments consisted of five corn-soybean meal-based diets with added wheat bran or soy oil to provide five different energy densities ranging from 1,390 to 1,604 Kcal/lb ME. The objective was to use responses to the wide range of energy dens...

Essential fatty acids in ruminant diets

The essentiality of the unsaturated fatty acids, linoleic and linolenic, was described by Burr and Burr in a series of papers from the late 1920’s to the early 1930’s (Burr et al., 1932). They are incorporated into membranes as such, and are precursors for other unsaturated fatty acids that are key for metabolic regulation and cell membrane function and are essential to life for all mammals. Pr...

Broiler Litter in Ruminant Diets -implications

Use of byproducts in ruminant diets can decrease production costs and increase total production. Chemical and physical characteristics of byproduct feedstuffs and animal nutrient requirements determine most appropriate means of use. Broiler litter is high in ruminally degraded crude protein and moderate to low in available energy concentration; therefore, most efficient use is as a crude protei...
