The study was conducted to determine the effect of dietary energy on milk yield and its composition under the influence of bovine somatotropic (bST) hormone in Nili Ravi buffaloes. Multiparous buffaloes (n=12) at mid lactation and similar level of production were selected and randomly divided into three groups (A, B and C) with four animals in each group in a completely randomized design. All t...

Shared cache is generally optimized to maximize the overall throughput, fairness, or both. Increasingly in shared environments, especially compute clouds, users are unrelated to one another. In such circumstances, an overall gain in throughput does not justify an individual loss. This paper explores conservative sharing, which protects the cache occupancy for individual programs, but still enab...

Due to the importance of water variables conditions and available food in the development and survival of fish larvae, the current research evaluates the effects of two different food treatments (ration + zooplankton and only zooplankton) and water quality in tanks with Brycon orbignyanus larvae. Total water transparency (45 cm) has been mainly associated with short residence time, continuous w...

Previouswork (1) has shown that liver contains a factor which produces a growth response in rats receiving a ration containing all the known vitamins. Bosshart et al. (2) have also described a growth-stimulating effect of liver in rats fed an otherwise complete diet. Jaffb and Elvehjem (3) and later Sporn et al. (4) described assay procedures for this factor. They observed a growth response of ...

Waste material from bakeries is an unconventional energy feed source which is available in sufficient quantities for use in small-scale broiler production in South Africa. Small-scale broiler producers do not have access to the computer programs required to balance home-mixed rations. This investigation confirms that the use of dried bakery products (DBP) in a 2-stage, free-choice method can be...

High fiber and nonstarch polysaccharide-based poultry diets have received more interest recently for retaining or promoting beneficial gastrointestinal microbial populations. The objective of this study was to investigate and compare the in vitro potential fermentability of high-fiber feed substrates (HFFS) by laying hen cecal microflora. Feed sources examined included soybean meal, soybean hul...

Molting is a common practice used by the commercial egg industry to rejuvenate flocks for a second or third laying cycle. During this time the hens rest from production, and the reproductive organs are rejuvenated to increase production and quality during the next laying cycle. Although feed withdrawal (FW) is the most popular and effective method of molt induction, it has come under scrutiny d...

This study presents data on consumption patterns, methods of food procurement, and adequacy of dietary intake among Burmese refugee camp households living along Thailand's border with Burma. Households established for one or more years and with children under 15 years of age were sampled. A questionnaire was used to determine economic, food-consumption, and dietary intake patterns; foods consum...

This study aims to the productivity and quality of Isa Brown chicken eggs given tuna fish oil in ration. The design used was a completely randomized (CRD) with 200 chickens 4 treatments 5 replications each replication consisted 10 chickens. P0 : Ration without use oil, P1 0.25 % P2 ration 0.50% P3 0.75% oil. feed is composed ingredients, namely corn, bran, KLS Super Plus. variables observed inc...
