A total of 432 crossbred yearling steers (395 kg +/- 6.35) were used in a randomized block experiment to study the effects of rumen degradable intake protein (DIP) and rumen undegradable intake protein (UIP) concentration on feedlot performance and carcass merit. The 6 dietary treatments used for this study included 1) a 10.5% CP diet with 5.1% UIP and 5.4% DIP (DIP5); 2) an 11.5% CP diet with ...

The cytoplasmic serine/threonine ribosomal protein S6 kinase (S6K1) plays a critical role in controlling protein translation. There is evidence that amino acids regulate S6K1 and protein synthesis in avian species, but the effect of dietary protein level on the activation of S6K1 in neonatal chicks is unknown. Therefore, the aim of the present experiment was to investigate the effect of differe...

In this study the enrichment dietary effect with different crude protein levels (CP) and feed additives on growth, survival, conversion ratio (FCR), consumption (FC) total hemocyte count (THC) in juvenile white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei were evaluated. The covered two bioassays: first one, juveniles daily fed for 45 days four experimental diets containing: (1) Control, commercial (35% CP); (2...

The present study investigated the effect of Azomite (AZO) on growth performance, nutrient utilisation, and bone mineralisation broilers fed low protein diet. A total number 180 one-day-old male chicks were randomly distributed to three treatment groups having six replicates 10 birds each. Experimental diets included; positive control (PC) with 21.5% CP (starter) 19.0% (finisher), negative (NC)...

  Shirbot (Barbus grypus) as a species with high potential for aquaculture development recently propagated artificially in South Iran Aquaculture Research Center to extend the species diversity in polyculture system. To provide an effective economic diet for this species 9 experimental diets containing three crude protein levels (250, 300, and 350 g kg -1) and three metabolizable energy levels ...

Ž . Apparent digestibility coefficients ADCs of macronutrients and energy, and apparent absorpŽ . tion coefficients AACs of amino acids and elements were assessed in an experiment with 0.9 kg Atlantic salmon reared in saltwater tanks. Duplicate groups of fish were fed five diets, where 0, Ž . Ž . 6.25, 12.5, 25 and 50% of crude protein CP from fish meal FM was replaced with CP from Ž . wheat gl...

A data base was constructed to describe and estimate supplementation effects in nonlactating cattle consuming forage ad libitum. The data base included 66 publications on 126 forages (73 harvested and 53 grazed) and a total of 444 comparisons between a control, unsupplemented treatment and a supplemented treatment. Daily gains were reported for 301 comparisons and voluntary intake for 258. Dire...

Experiments were conducted to determine the effect of fumaric acid supplementation and buffering capacity of the diet on ileal and fecal digestibilities of CP, GE, and amino acids in early-weaned pigs. In two experiments, 12 pigs each were weaned at 14 d of age and fitted with a simple T-cannula at the distal ileum between 15 and 17 d of age. In both experiments, the pigs were fed four diets, b...
