thirty multiparous holstein dairy cows with average body weights of 687±15 kg and body condition scores of 3.25±0.15 were allocated to 1 out of each 3 groups, immediately after parturition (dim=11) and in a completely randomized design. the first group was fed diet low in rumen undegradable protein (rup; 5.1% of dry matter), the second group fed with medium rup (7.2% of dry matter) while the th...

This study presents the chemical composition and in vitro fermentation of five diets with different forage (alfalfa) to concentrate (faba bean) (F:C) ratios, F0:C100, F25:C75, F50:C50, F75:C25, F100:C0 on a dry matter (DM) basis. Results indicate that the chemical composition in term of organic matter (OM), ether extract (EE), crude protein (CP), acid detergent fiber (ADF), neutral detergent fi...

for determination and comparison between feeding value of rape silage and its hay, two groups of seven head weaned lamb with the same body weight and breed were fed for a 100 days period of these feeds and a same amount of barley as a nutritive supplement. each animal was fed approximately 130gr of crude protein and 1730 kcal net energy (nrc standard recommendation 1985). the animals were weigh...

The aims of the study was to determine nutritional quality fermented sugarcane bagasse using probiotics. were design with completely randomized (CRD) 4 treatments and replications. used were: A0 = 0% A1 2.5%, A2 5% A3 7.5% fermentation time 30 days. data obtained analyzed for variance (Anova). Parameters observed dry matter, ash, crude protein, fiber lipid. Based on results this study, had a si...

In order to determination of ileum apparent and true digestibility of two samples of poultry by product meal, an experiment was conducted with a total of 60 day-old broiler chicks, Ross 308 strain. Poultry by-product meal was prepared from two slaughter house in Alborz province. Samples were sent to laboratory for determination of chemical analysis. The birds received commercial broiler starter...

The Effects of Probiotic and Thyme Powder on Growth Performance, Carcass Traits Blood Biochemical Parameters Broilers with Normal Crude Protein Reduced Diets

use poor quality resources of water and soil for food production in developing countries must be considered. therefore, three experiments were conduct in complete randomize design with four replications, to study effects of gradually application of different salinity levels (0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 ds.m-1) at different growth stages (planting and early seedling) and gradually application s...

the nutritive value of pistachio epicarp (pe) was evaluated by in situ and in vitro techniques. chemical analysis indicated that pe was high in crude protein (11.30%) and low in neutral detergent fiber (26.20%). total phenols, total tannins, condensed tannins and hydrolysable tannins contents in pe were 8.29%, 4.48%, 0.49% and 3.79%, respectively. ruminal dry matter and crude protein degradatio...

Four diets with different crude protein levels 17.75%, 19.95%, 21.85%, 24.08% were used to feed 192 seven-week-old yellow quails in this experiment. During 50-day-old to 95-day-old, laying rate, feed intake and egg weight were recorded to analysis the effect of different levels of dietary protein on the performance of yellow quails. All fences were collected and analysis the effect of different...

the effects of two diets, a control diet (commercial feed with 39% crude protein) and an experimental diet (prepared based on 42% soybean meal with 38% crude protein), on growth performance of western white shrimp (litopenaeus vannamei) in six 0.4-ha-earthen ponds (three replications per treatment) with 25 per m2 density, were investigated. there was no significant difference in final weight (m...
