The present study was carried out to investigate the economic loss of flood victim broiler farms and also to explore the relationship between various independent variables with economic loss of flood victim broiler farms (dependent variable). The independent variables were considered as education, family size, occupation, farm size, feed sources, types of vaccine and medicine used and marketing...

Use of byproducts in ruminant diets can decrease production costs and increase total production. Chemical and physical characteristics of byproduct feedstuffs and animal nutrient requirements determine most appropriate means of use. Broiler litter is high in ruminally degraded crude protein and moderate to low in available energy concentration; therefore, most efficient use is as a crude protei...

Broiler is a readily available meat source catering the need of meat eating people. The disposal of broiler waste such as carcasses, blood, feather and offal produced from slaughtering broiler birds need to be disposed or utilized properly. Considering this, the present study was purposively conducted in Nagapattinam district of Tamil Nadu to identify the existing disposal method and recommend ...

The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in physical parameters produced during an in-season resistance training (RT) program and detraining phase in 12 top TVP competing in the elite Portuguese league. Moreover, differences in the adaptive responses between players who played most of the times (starters: S) and players that were mainly used as substitutes (non starters: NS) were an...

Background: This study’s aim was twofold: (i) to compare starters and non-starters on a professional soccer team in terms of variations training intensity indexes across season, calculated through total distance, sprint accelerations (Acc), decelerations (Dec) (ii) analyse the relationship between for each playing status. Methods: Nineteen players (age, 29.4 ± 4.4 years; height, 1.8 0.1 m; body...

Polyether ionophores, monensin, and salinomycin are commonly used as antiparasitic drugs in broiler production and may be present in broiler litter (bird excreta plus bedding material). Long-term application of broiler litter to pastures may lead to ionophore contamination of surface waters. Because polyether ionophores break down at low pH, we hypothesized that decreasing litter pH with an aci...

NCAA soccer features different substitution rules compared to FIFA-sanctioned matches, with a greater availability of players who can enter the game. This could influence the physiological characteristics of the field position starters (ST) and non-starters (NST) within a collegiate women's team, which has not been previously analyzed. Thus, 22 field players from the same Division I women's soc...

Continuous genetic selection and improvement in nutrition have led to a very fast growth rate in modern strains of broiler chickens. Metabolic disorders such as ascits, sudden death syndrome and leg problems are related to a rapid early growth rate in poultry, especially in broilers, and their incidence can be decreased by slowing early growth. The use of management tools to reduce metabolic di...
