Feed deprivation is commonly used by the poultry industry to induce molting and stimulate multiple egg-laying cycles. However, feed deprivation has been observed experimentally to increase susceptibility of poultry to Salmonella infections. Previous studies indicated that alfalfa was efficacious in reducing Salmonella; the present investigation was designed to evaluate the efficacy of combined ...

Background Recent advances in next-generation sequencing technologies have enabled comprehensive analysis of the gut microbiota, which is closely linked to the health of the host. Consequently, several studies have explored the factors affecting gut microbiota composition. In recent years, increasing number of dog owners are feeding their pets a natural diet i.e., one consisting of bones, raw m...

To increase catfish productivity, the Directorate General of Aquaculture continues to innovate and develop technology that results in a more efficient enlargement system. The purpose this study is find out most economically feasible sangkuriang system between biofloc conventional systems. From water quality measurements temperatures 25-27oC, pH 7, DO 1.2 – 2.2, FCR 0.9 1.1 are still good range....

In order to evaluate the effects of chlorella on broiler performance and immune system, an experimentwas performed by using 80 ROSS 308 male broiler chicks. The experiment was accomplished incompletely randomized design including 5 treatments with 4 replication and 4 observations in eachreplicate. The basal diet was based on corn-soybean meal (control) and without any additives. Agraded level o...

objective to determine the role of ketogenic diet in the treatment of intractable epilepsy in children. materials & methods sixty six consecutive children (1-16 years old) with intractable epilepsy whose seizure were not neurodegenerative nor febrile in origin were recruited. they received the ketogenic diet and we evaluated its effect on seizure frequency for 3 months. all these children had m...

We report here the single and combined antitumor activity on B16 melanoma in female C57BL/6 X DBA/2F1 mice bearing s.c. tumors of sodium ascorbate, carbidopa-levodopa methyl ester, and dietary phenylalanine and tyrosine deficiency. Groups of 15 mice were fed continuously one of three test diets both with and without sodium ascorbate (30 mg/ml) in the drinking water beginning 2 weeks before inoc...

Using black soldier fly (BSF, Hermetia illucens) larvae as a novel protein source substituting fishmeal (FM) in animal feeds is globally gaining momentum. BSF can be reared on agro-industrial residues. However, incorporating larval meal (BSFLM) into finisher pig diets has received inadequate attention. This study evaluated the effects of replacing dietary FM with BSFLM growth, carcass traits an...

This study investigated the effects of replacing commercial feeds with fresh black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) on immune enzyme activities, water quality in culturing environment, and intestinal microbiota Pacific white shrimp ( Litopenaeus vannamei ). Five different feeding regimes were designed, which 0% (control group), 25%, 50%, 75%, 100% replaced equal wet weight BSFL, respectively. The expe...
