Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the use of distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) from modern ethanol plants in broiler diets. Experiment 1 was a 2 x 2 factorial experiment with diets containing 2 levels of DDGS (0 and 15%) and 2 diet densities (high and low). The high- and low-density diets were formulated to contain 22% CP and 3,050 kcal MEn/kg and 20% CP and 3,000 kcal MEn/k...

this study evaluated the effects of artichoke leaf powder on growth performance and physicochemical properties of japanese quailfrozen meat after 3 monthstorage. a total of 240 japanese quail chicks (1 d old) were raised over a 42-d experimental period. the experiment was performed as a completely randomized design with 4 replicates of 15 quails in each, using a 4 × 2 factorial arrangement with...

This experiment was conducted to determine the effects of replacing lactose in Phase 1 and 2 nursery pig diets with novel carbohydrate (CHO) products (CHO-D CHO-L; Cargill Starches, Sweeteners, & Texturizers, Blair, NE) on growth performance fecal dry matter. A total 360 barrows (DNA 200 × 400; initially 13.2 ± 0.10 lb) were used a 42-d trial. Pigs weaned at approximately 21 d age, randomly all...

We investigated commercially available dermal sheep collagen either cross-linked with hexamethylenediisocyanate, or cross-linked with glutaraldehyde. In previous in vitro studies we could discriminate primary, i.e. extractable, and secondary cytotoxicity, due to cell-biomaterial interactions, i.e. enzymatic actions. To develop dermal sheep collagen for clinical applications, we focused in this ...

A total of 192 Hyplus rabbits (male and female ratio 1:1) of weaning age 35 d were randomly divided into three experimental groups (n=64 each), group 1 was fed ad libitum (control), group 2 (R50) was restricted from 42 to 49 d of age (50 g/d/rabbit), and group 3 (R65) was restricted from 42 to 49 d of age (65 g/d/rabbit). After the restriction time, all the groups were back to ad libitum feedin...

a 42-d trial was conducted to compare the effects of probiotic, prebiotic and synbiotic supplements on growth performance, morphology of the jejunum, serum lipid profile and antibody response of broiler chickens. a total of 400 one-d-old male broiler chicks were randomly divided into four treatment groups of four replicates (25 birds per replicate) and fed corn-soybean meal diets. the dietary t...

Sixty-four crossbred heifers (451 +/- 23 kg) were used in a 42-d feeding trial (4 pens per treatment in a randomized complete block design) to evaluate the influence of preslaughter zilpaterol hydrochloride withdrawal period on growth performance and carcass characteristics. Heifers were fed a diet based on steam-flaked corn (2.13 Mcal of NE(m)/kg). Treatments were 1) control, no zilpaterol sup...

Multi-colour photometry of four variable supergiants in the LMC and SMC, viz. R 85, R 110, R 42 and R 45, is searched for periods, studied and discussed. The suspected LBV R 85 is undoubtedly an active LBV, though not as spectacular as R 110. Their microvariations superimposed on the S Dor-activity are analyzed as well as those exhibited by R 42 and R 45. Often, a period search is difficult bec...

Thirteen crossbred ewes were used to compare weigh-suckle-weigh (WSW) and machine milking (MM) methods for determining milk production of ewes that were rearing single or twin lambs. At parturition, ewes were 13 mo of age and produced six single lambs and seven pairs of twin lambs. Milk production estimates were initiated on d 6 of lactation and a 3-d rotation of the two techniques was implemen...
