AIMS To assess whether workers under significant thermal stress necessarily dehydrated during their exposure and whether "involuntary dehydration" was inevitable, as supported by ISO 9866 and other authorities. Other objectives were to quantify sweat rates against recommended occupational limits, to develop a dehydration protocol to assist with managing heat exposures, and to understand the rol...

the experiment was to study the effects of replacing soybean meal by rubber seed meal on growth, economics and carcass characteristics of broiler. a total of 150 day-old commercial broiler (cobb-500) was reared for a period of 35 days. there were five treatments including t0 (without rubber seed meal), t1 (10% rubber seed meal), t2 (20% rubber seed meal), and t3 (30% rubber seed meal) and t4 (4...

Two experiments were conducted with golden Hubbard pullet chicks to investigate the replacement effects of locally prepared fish silage for imported meal in and layers' rations. Acidic neutral preparations concentrated either maize or cassava plus groundnut wheat offals, fed as a substitute meal. Results pullets showed good feed consumption all dietary treatments but efficiency was decreased (P...

A research for eight weekswas conducted to evaluate the effect of substituting fish meal with local agricultural products in diet Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus).Three treatment dietaries were prepared. The dietary composition tested diets is as follows: A1/plant based-diet (Groundnut cake, sesame millet bran, maize and 0% meal) A2/fishmeal partial replacement meal, 10% A3/fishmeal 25% mea...
