Effects of Programmed Feeding to a Constant Average Daily Gain vs. Ad Libitum Feed Intake on Performance and Carcass Characteristics of Finishing Beef Steers

Thirty-two Angus steers were used in a 140d feeding trial to examine the effects of ad libitum feed intake or a programmed rate of gain on feedlot performance and carcass characteristics. Ad libitum-fed steers had greater (P < .06) DMI, ADG, and feed efficiency from d 0 to 28, 0 to 56, and 0 to 84 than programmed-fed steers; however, no differences in ADG, DMI, or feed efficiency were detected ...

Interactions of the Factors Affecting Cattle Grade/Performance

Because economic value of carcasses is dependent primarily on carcass weight and carcass quality, feedlot managers have an interest in factors associated with maximizing these two variables. The NRC (1996) proposes that body composition (fat and protein) and carcass characteristics of beef cattle at a specified percentage of mature body weight (BW) are fixed, which indicates that maturity, rath...

The Effects of Different Levels of Saturated and Unsaturated Fats and Their Composition in Growing and Finishing Periods on Productive Performance and Blood Lipids of Broilers

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of different levels of saturated and unsaturated fats and their composition in growing and finishing periods on performance, carcass traits and blood lipids level in broiler chickens. In this experiment, 432 Ross 308 broilers were used from 11 up to 42 days in 9 treatments, 4 replicates and 12 birds in each replicate in growing (11-24 day...

Effect of Peppermint and Basil as Feed Additive on Broiler Performance and Carcass Characteristics

This research was conducted to find out the effect of peppermint and basil as natural feed additives on broiler performance. The objective of the present study was to investigate the impact of the peppermint (Mentha pipreitae) and basil (Ocimum basilicum) as a feed additive on live body weight (LBW), body weight gain (BWG), feed intake (FI), feed conversion ratio (FCR), carcass weight, abdomina...

The effects of different levels of biogen probiotic additives on growth indices and body composition of juvenile common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.)

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of biogen probiotic additives on growth performance of common carp, Cyprinus carpio. Four practical diets containing 0 (control) , 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 % Biogen probiotic were used to feed fish. Seventy-two juvenile common carp (65 ? 3.5g) were randomly distributed between 12 fiberglass tanks of 500 L capacity. During 60 days of feeding trial, the...
