UTILIZATION OF CALCIUM IN CANOLA MEAL SUPPLEMENTED LAYING DIETS

Performance and egg quality of aged laying hens fed diets supplemented with meat and bone meal or oyster shell meal

Meat and bone meal (MBM) and oyster shell meal (OSM) were supplemented to a basal diet (LMS), either alone or in combination, in order to assess the dietary influences of those complementary Ca sources on performance and egg quality of laying hens. Four hundred and thirty-two Brown-Nick hens, at the beginning of their second production period, were divided into four treatment groups with six re...

Effects of Fibrozyme and Phytase Enzymes on Growing-Finishing Pig Performance in Field Pea-Canola Meal Supplemented Diets

Recent advances in canola meal utilization in swine nutrition.

Canola meal is derived from the crushing of canola seed for oil extraction. Although it has been used in swine diets for a long time, its inclusion levels have been limited due to concerns regarding its nutritive value primarily arising from results of early studies showing negative effects of dietary canola meal inclusion in swine diets. Such effects were attributable to the presence of anti-n...

Laying performance and eggshell quality in laying hens fed diets supplemented with prebiotics and organic acids

The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of organic acids and the prebiotic fructans on egg production and eggshell quality when added to the layer diet with different levels of calcium and phosphorus. The experiment was carried out on 168 Bovans Brown hens, allocated to 14 groups of 12 replications. Each hen (replication) was kept in an individual cage 40 cm × 40 cm in size. A 2 × 7 fac...

Substitution of soybean with canola meal in laying hens diets formulated based on total and digestible amino acids on performance and blood parameters

An experiment was conducted to study the effects of substitution soybean meal (SBM) with canola meal (CM) and formulated diets based on total and digestible amino acid on performance, egg quality, organs weight and blood parameters of laying hens from 73 to 83 weeks of age. A total of 128 laying hens were distributed by completely randomized design in a 2×2 factorial arrangement with 2 protein ...
