High Zn and Cu fecal concentrations impact the environment. Zn and Cu reductions in feed have compromised swine performance. Substituting amino acid chelated (AAC) sources for traditionally employed inorganic salts (IM) may overcome environmental and swine performance problems. A preliminary study demonstrated less 65Zn was deposited in rat feces due to greater AAC absorption compared to IM (P ...

Two hunared day old broiler chicks were alloted to five treatment groups evaluate the effect of whole soyabean and fish meal supplementation on productivity experimental birds. Feed consump­tion weight gains similar diets 1 -and 3, while feed efficiency protein ratio better (P<0.05) cooked diet 3 as compared groundnut cake based (control) ration. Fish also unproved performance. The raw gave ...

An important issue of food supply for servicemen with individual needs is the adjustment diets through use protein, vitamin and mineral components which are functional ingredients such food, primarily flour based, products as: bread, bakery confectionery (cookies, crackers, gingerbread), fruit nut energy bars, “Granola” breakfast cereals. The priority task to increase nutritional biological val...

Methods of housing and managing the milk-fed dairy calf have changed considerably in recent years. We review key developments and how these affect calf welfare. Limit feeding of milk is recognized as both a welfare and production risk. Conventional limit feeding methods (i.e. approximately 10% BW/d) result in signs of chronic hunger, abnormal behavior, poor weight gains and poorer lifetime perf...

Voluntary Feed Intake (VFI) and Average Daily Gain (ADG) of three rabbit breeds fed on pigeon pea (PP), cowpea (CoP) soybean (SB) as sources protein for growing rabbits were determined. Flemish Giant (FG), California Black (CB) New Zealand White (NZW)) (Glycine max), (Cajunus cajan) (Vigna unguiculata) in the ration. Eighteen weaned at six weeks age used each breed (a total 54 rabbits) out whic...

The present study investigates the gap between the daily milk production potential and the effective milk yields in six herds. These two parameters and their changes were observed in the Gharb irrigation scheme (northwest of Morocco), during a five months study period. They were analyzed in relation to the changes in the rations of the cows and in their live weights. Results reveal that under c...
