Sequential feeding is a cyclic feeding program with 2 diets for 1 or several days used to induce lower feed costs or to improve welfare quality. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of energy [2,800 (E-) and 3,200 kcal/kg (E+)] and protein [230 (P+) and 150 g/kg (P-)] content on daily feed intake and growth in 900 male broiler chickens, and to compare these results with s...

The gas-liquid membrane contactor (GLMC) is a promising alternative gas absorption/desorption configuration for effective carbon dioxide (CO2 ) capture. The physicochemical properties of membranes may synergistically affect GLMC performances, especially during the long-term operations. In this work, commercial polypropylene (PP) and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) hollow fiber (HF) membranes wer...

This study was carried out at different villages of Palash Upazila under the Narsingdi district in Bangladesh to envisage storage system straw, feeding system, genotype distribution, productive and reproductive performances dairy cows. Hence, a total 100 small-scale farm owners were randomly selected interviewed with pre-tested structured questionnaire. Overall, 40% farmers raised indigenous co...

For metal crack nondestructive detection, most conventional sensors are unable to realize the direction detection. In this work, a direction-sensitive microwave sensor is proposed for The consists of rectangular patch resonator and two perpendicular coupled feeding ports, which improves current distribution on surface sensitivity performances verified by simulation measurement experiments. resu...

Abstract Intelligent robots for fruit harvesting have been actively developed over the past decades to bridge increasing gap between feeding a rapidly growing population and limited labour resources. Despite significant advancements in this field, widespread use of orchards is yet be seen. To identify challenges formulate future research development directions, work reviews state-of-the-art int...

A sixty-days feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the inclusion effect of spirulina Arthrospira platensis meal (SM) in diet on growth and health condition juvenile Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei. Four isonitrogenous iso-lipidic experimental diets were formulated contain 0%, 0,2%, 0,4% 0,8% SM. After 60 days, sampled total haemocyte counts measured. The performances significantly a...

This study seeks to investigate the effect of restricted feeding regimes at different rate on growth performance of Clarias gariepinus using static and flow through system. Fingerlings were divided into six batches for each systems with the first and second batch fed at 5% body weight (BW) every day and every other day respectively, the third and fourth batch were fed 10% BW every day and every...

An experiment was performed to study the effect of the feeding program and age at first mating on body growth, feed intake, reproductive performance, and culling of rabbit does over three parities, using 155 does of a strain of New Zealand white rabbits. Three treatments were applied. Ad libitum feeding until first insemination at 14.5 wk (AL-14.5) or 17.5 wk of age (AL-17.5), and restrictive f...
