The objective was to compare deoxynivalenol (DON) concentrations in feed ingredients and commercial swine diets measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Seventy ingredient samples consisted of corn, corn dried distillers grains with solubles, gluten feed, meal, palm kernel expellers, rice bran, soy hulls, soybean wheat. Commercial diet...

For 3 weeks, rats were fed diets containing 60 p. 100 carbohydrate in the form of starch (wheat flour), purified sucrose, commercial sugar or a commercial sweetener containing a mixture of glucose and fructose. Glycemia was lower during the day than at night, and it was lowest in the starch-fed group. Fructosemia, high in all groups during the day, suggested endogenous production; it was low at...

the aim of the present study was to assess whether near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (nirs) and regression equations are the practical and accurate approach of nutritional assessment of common feedstuffs. therefore two experiments were conducted to study the effect of amino acid determination methods on broiler performance. in experiment i, two hundred thirty four male ross broiler chicks ...

JAVMA, Vol 242, No. 11, June 1, 2013 D the availability of complete and balanced commercial canine maintenance diets, many owners choose to prepare their pet’s diet at home for reasons such as having more control of the foods that their pet eats, distrust in pet food companies, and the desire to feed a more natural diet. Recipes published by veterinarians and lay writers are readily accessible ...

Two hundred 1-day-old commercial broilers (Ross 308) were used to determine the effects of diets supplementation with waste date’s vinegar (WDV) on the growth and performance of digestive tract over a 42-days growing period. Chicks were randomly allocated to one of five experimental diets supplementing as 0 (control), 1, 2, and 3% of WDV and 2% industrial vinegar (IV). Broilers and their feed c...

Broiler starter diets from three commercial feed mills (same company, different locations) were fed to day-old Hubbard Hi-Y broiler chicks along with a Control diet manufactured at Ohio State University. The analyzed calcium levels were as follows: Source 1, .76% ; Source 2, .97% ; Source 3, .81 % ; Control, .98%. Each of the diets was fed to 5 replicate pens of broiler chicks in Petersime batt...

Whereas wild specimens exhibit a red pink silver colour, under captivity red porgy (Pagrus pagrus) skin turns dark grey, being directly associated with lower acceptance by the consumers and lower market value. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of diet supplementation with two carotenoid sources, at two different concentrations, on growth and skin coloration. Fish of 44 g mean init...

With a view to alleviate the feeling of hunger in broiler breeders, different types of fibre sources were used in high-fibre diets to increase feed quantity while limiting growth to industry recommended levels. Using scatter feeding, three diets (C1: commercial control diet, 1 × fibre content, 80% insoluble fibre (ISF); H2: 2 × fibre content, 89% ISF; and L2: 2 × fibre content, 71% ISF) were ea...
