Utilization of Dried Poultry Waste (DPW) as Feedstuff for Domestic Animals

Evaluation of dried bread waste as feedstuff for growing crossbred pigs

Aim: The aim was to investigate the effect of bread waste feeding on feed intake, utilization and growth performance of crossbred pigs and to evaluate the economics of bread waste feeding. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted for a period of 3 months (December, 2012-March, 2013). Large White Yorkshire crosses (LWY X Desi) were included in the study. A total of 24 weaned crossbred grow...

Ticks That Affect Domestic Animals and Poultry

Dried poultry waste for cows grazing low-quality winter forage.

Two trials conducted in 1996-97 measured BW and body condition score changes of cows fed different sources of degradable intake protein, including dried poultry waste and soybean meal, while grazing low-quality winter forages. In Trial 1, 60 spring-calving cows (5 yr; 555 kg) were used in an individual supplementation trial. Cows were gathered three times a week, sorted into individual pens, an...

Evaluation of Amino Acid and Energy Utilization in Feedstuff for Swine and Poultry Diets

An accurate feed formulation is essential for optimizing feed efficiency and minimizing feed cost for swine and poultry production. Because energy and amino acid (AA) account for the major cost of swine and poultry diets, a precise determination of the availability of energy and AA in feedstuffs is essential for accurate diet formulations. Therefore, the methodology for determining the availabi...

Distillers Dried Grains Plus Solubles Utilization by Livestock and Poultry

Increased production of corn based ethanol and the resulting increase in availability of distillers dried grain with solubles (DDGS) has a number of implications for the U.S. livestock industry and for the production of traditional livestock feed crops. Some of those implications are examined here. First, and most importantly, the potential size of the domestic market for DDGS is evaluated in d...
