Two experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of dietary supplementation of Bacillus, Saccharomyces and lactic acid bacteria (LAB) on performance and nutrient digestibility in grower and finisher pigs. In Exp. 1, 80 pigs (32 females and 48 males), 28.7±0.9 kg body weight (BW), were randomly divided into 4 treatment groups balanced for sex and weight (5 pigs per pen, 4 pens per treatm...

Feeding accounts for 65-70% of cost production in a chicken enterprise. Fishmeal has primarily been used as source protein feed owing to its excellent nutritional value. However, due unstable supply and variation quality, recent studies have focused on finding alternative feedstuff, such edible insects. A study was carried out evaluate the effects substituting fishmeal (FM) with Blattela german...

Typically, poultry diets contain 1-2 mg I/kg, but higher concentrations are sometimes used to enhance the I content of eggs. In addition to an increased deposition of I in the yolk, other often adverse responses occur, especially at exceptionally high concentrations. Excess I in grower diets can prevent sexual maturation in male and female fowl, and in layer diets will progressively reduce egg ...

introduction corn and wheat are the grains most routinely used in commercial poultry diets. for consumption of these cereals, there are a competition between humans and mono-gastric animals. due to corn crop limitation in iran, approximately 50% of the corn required for poultry nutrition is supplied through imports. since triticale is more resistant to various diseases, dry weather and in simil...

the effect of silver nanoparticles as additive on broiler performance was investigated through employed of 312 day-old broiler chiks (arbor-acre plus) in a completely randomized design with 6 treatment diets each in 4 replicates. corn- soy based diets were formulated for starter, grower and finisher according to nrc (1994) recommendations. the silver nanoparticle solutions (2000 ppm) were added...

Acute and sustained soluble dietary fibre (SDF) consumption are both associated with improved glucose tolerance in humans and animal models (e.g. porcine). However, the effects on glucose tolerance in grower pigs, adapted to diets with a combination of SDF have not been studied previously. In this experiment, cereal SDF wheat arabinoxylan (AX) and oat β-glucan (BG) were fed individually and in ...
