Twenty ®ve growing crossbred bulls (Bos indicus Bos taurus) were used in a randomised block design experiment for 196 days to determine the effect of grainless concentrate containing different supplemental nitrogen sources along with wheat straw based diet on feed intake, nutrient digestibility, plane of nutrition and daily live weight gain. The animals in control group received barley 30% in t...

A study was conducted to compare the endogenous basal losses of phosphorus (EBLP) in pigs fed diets containing gelatin (GEL) or spray-dried porcine plasma (SDPP) as protein sources and to determine the standardized total tract digestibility (STTD) of phosphorus (P) in SDPP. The trial was carried out at the Federal University of Santa Maria, Brazil. Twelve castrated pigs with an initial body wei...

Thearticle presents the results of growing broiler goslings Kuban breedwhen probiotics Vita fort and Lactobifadol are included in feedingdiet. The periodic feeding for seven days/seven days’ break wasfound to provide, at age 62 days, an increase body weight by 10.1%(p˂0.01) when 3.7% Lactobifadol. Whileusing probiotics, protein metabolism increased goslings,= also digestibility nutrients increa...

Our objective was to determine whether inclusion of industrial egg residue (IER) in the diets laying hens would replace calcitic limestone without interfering with productive efficiency, quality or digestibility. In a first study (Experiment I), we used 30% IER and found that apparent digestibility coefficients were 51.6%, 42.8%, 51.6% 17.8% for dry matter, crude protein, calcium phosphorus, re...

Abstract The objective of the current study was to evaluate in vitro dry matter and fiber digestibility, gas, ammonia N volatile fatty acid production peanut tops from seven cultivars, CB91-1, 010-13, IAC322, 13-D, 13-1014, 886 GA-06G, grown state Georgia, USA, Bermuda grass. top samples were harvested towards end growing season at about 125 days after planting pods removed. grass 4 weeks regro...

Phytase’s rapid growth has resulted mainly from its acceptance as an economically viable and scientifically proven replacement for expensive inorganic phosphates. While an increasing understanding of the impact of phytate on dietary amino acid and energy digestibility has also led to a greater appreciation of the value of phytase application beyond phosphorus and calcium release, this is still ...
