Sales of liquid feed, excluding sales to feedlots, have grown by 50% during the 1990's and exceeded one million tons in 1998 (Anonymous, 1999). Many liquid feeds are offered free-choice to cattle grazing pasture, which has advantages of reduced labor costs, less feeder space per animal and feeder accessibility by more timid animals. With these advantages, the use of molasses based liquid supple...

The objective was to evaluate Heit Chrose (HC) as a feed supplement for dairy cows, which measured through digestibility, milk production, components and body conditions scores. research conducted at UPTD Pagerkukuh Wonosobo using 21 cows in late lactation period (12 2

Two experiments were conducted to compare whole, raw soybeans (WSB), extruded soybeans (ESB), and soybean meal+barley (SBM+BAR) as supplemental protein sources for growing beef steers consuming low-quality, mature grass hay (6.5% CP). In Exp. 1, a 23-d digestion study, four ruminally cannulated steers were assigned to the following treatments in a 4 x 4 Latin square design: 1) control, no suppl...

A demonstration was conducted with nursery pigs by using diets supplemented with Mecadox, no supplementation, and Echinacea. The study lasted for 4 weeks. The nursery pigs were weighed and the feed intake was measured. The results suggested that Echinacea does not suppress feed intake or the weight gain in nursery pigs compared with the no supplement or Mecadox diets. Half of the pigs were inoc...

Seven hundred and twenty hatchling broilers were allotted to 12 treatment groups. Groups 1 and 2 were fasted for 48 h posthatch; groups 3 and 4 were fasted for 48 h followed by ad libitum access to a 1% glutamine (Gln) diet; groups 5 and 6 had ad libitum access to a common diet; groups 7 and 8 had access to a 1% Gln diet posthatch; groups 9 and 10 were fed regular Oasis hatchling supplement; an...

this study was conducted to investigate the effect of different levels of savory (satureja hortensis) powder and its essential oil on performance and antioxidant status of broiler chickens under heat stress (34±2 ˚c for 8 hours per day). a total of 336 one-day-old male broiler chicks (ross-308) were divided into 6 treatments and 4 replications (14 birds per replicate). experimental diets were a...

Five groups of broiler chickens were raised on feed containing varying substitutions of single cell protein from preprocessed waste activated sludge (pWAS) in varying compositions of 0:100, 25:75, 50:50, 75:25, and 100:0 pWAS: fishmeal by mass. Forty chickens per batch were evaluated for growth rate, mortality rate, and feed conversion efficiency (ηє). The initial mass gain rate, mortality rate...

Medicinal extract has been chronicled extensively in traditional Chinese medicine. Isoquinoline alkaloids, extract of Macleaya cordata (Willd.) R. Br., have been used as feed additive in both swine and poultry. Dietary supplementation with isoquinoline alkaloids increases feed intake and weight gain. In addition, recent researches have demonstrated that isoquinoline alkaloids can regulate metab...
