1. The deposition of fat and protein and the utilization of energy by growing rats offered diets ad lib. or in controlled amounts by gastric intubation has been investigated. Diets contained 50, 75, 100 or 200 g protein/kg, mainly as casein. 2. Gain of body-weight and protein increased with increasing dietary protein concentration when animals received the same energy intake, although the rever...

This study was carried out to evaluate the effects of dietary supplementation of different sources of chromium on growth performance, blood profile and carcass trait in growing-finishing pigs. A total of 200 growing pigs (Landrace×Yorkshire)× Duroc, average initial weight 8.5 kg) were allotted to 5 treatments with 4 replicates per treatment and 10 pigs per replicate. Five treatments were design...

background: vitamins are considered an essential part in diet of aquatic animals. objectives: this study was carried out to assay the effect of different levels of vitamin e on growth performance, carcass compositions and blood parameters of common carp fingerlings (cyprinus carpio). methods: total number of 96 common carp fingerlings weighing 15.49 ± 3.64 g were randomly distributed into 12 fi...

Feeding study was conducted to determine the quantitative requrements of Al and Fe , and to examine the interrelationship with the other minerals in the Japanese eel Anguilla japonica. The experimental diets used were those based on white fish meal supplemented with 0, 15, 30, 50, 75, and 100μg/g of Al as aluminum chloride and 0 , 100, 150, 200, 300, and 400μg/g of Fe as ferrous sulfate. The fi...

Giant freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii (deMan) (Crustacea-Decapoda) is an economically important species widely cultured in both freshwater and low saline water (brackish water) aquaculture. The experiments were conducted to study the effects of dietary supplementation of vitamin-E on the post-larval production (seed production), lipid peroxidation (LPX) and antioxidant defence syste...

The current study was designed to determine if dietary vitamin E influenced either the gut clearance or levels of peripheral blood CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes in adult turkeys experimentally infected with Listeria monocytogenes. Turkeys were fed vitamin E (0, 100, or 200 IU) from day of hatch to time of necropsy. After 6 wk on the experimental diet, turkeys were orally inoculated with L. monocy...

Background Dietary supplementation of zinc oxide (ZnO) to 2000 to 4000 mg/kg is known to be effective for the prevention and treatment of post-weaning diarrhea in the pig. Such a 'pharmacological' supplementation, however, can potentially result in environmental pollution of the heavy metal, because dietary ZnO is mostly excreted unabsorbed. Two experiments (Exp.) were performed in the present ...
