The combination between anticancer drugs and natural products has great attention aiming at exploiting their efficiency reducing systemic toxicity. Subsequently, the current study was constructed to evaluate potential curative role of crude Sepia ink extract (SIE) Ellagic acid (EA) against cyclophosphamide (CP) Male albino rats were divided into five groups (n = 10). All except group I received...

This study investigated the effects of replacing soybean meal (SM) with canola meal (CM) and decreasing crude protein (‎CP) levels in CM based diets on performance of dairy cows when different sources of processed grains and CM were used. Canola meal was untreated or roasted at 130°C for 30 minutes and grains sources (corn and barley) were either ground or steamed-flaked. Eight Holstein cows (‎...

Use of low protein diets could have potential benefits on nitrogen emissions reduction as well as potential cost savings by reducing the utilization of high cost protein sources. An experiment was conducted with 160 Hy-Line W-36 hens which were randomly assigned to one of four dietary treatment groups. Corn-soy based diets varying in dietary crude protein (CP) supplemented with commercially ami...

Reports on the influence of dietary crude protein on male broiler breeder fertility are not consistent, and therefore an experiment was conducted to determine the effect of three isoenergetic diets containing 10.5%, 12.6% and 15% crude protein, respectively, on Ross broiler breeder male fertility from 26 to 41 weeks of age. Feed allocation was the same for each treatment, and was done according...

The objective of this experiment was to evaluate the effect of providing different levels of a supplement on the nutritional characteristics and productive performance of heifers on pasture during the rainy-dry transition and dry season in Brazil or tropical area. Thirty crossbred heifers with predominance of Zebu breed were used in a completely randomized experimental design. Treatments consis...

The present study was conducted to evaluate the nutritional value and in situ degradation kinetics of eight high protein forage crops: alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), forage oat (Avena sativa L.), mixed pasture, and ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) pasture in early vegetative stages, two forage lupins (Lupinus albus L.) in early bloom stages, sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) and kale (Brassica nap...

Four mature rumen and abomasal cannulated wethers were used in a 2 x 2 reversal experiment to study the effect of forage quality on daily quantity of abomasal protein and microbial protein synthesis. Diets were either high quality [HOo 16.4% crude protein (CP)] or low quality (LOo 9.3% CP) Coastal bermudagrass which provided 110.7 and 58.3 g CP intake daily, respectively. Non-ammonia CP reachin...

The study aimed to determine the optimum dietary lysine level of orange-spotted rabbitfish Siganus guttatus Bloch, 1787 (average body weight range 5.2 7.6 gxfish-1). feeding trial was conducted for 8 weeks employing six experimental diets which were isonitrogenous, isocaloric, and isolipidic (35% crude protein (CP), 18.3 MJxkg-1 gross energy, 5% lipid). content ranged from 1.22 g 2.12 xkg-1 dry...

Feed intake, milk production, and milk fatty acid profiles of dairy cows fed corn silage-based diets with different protein and starch concentrations were measured in a 3-period experiment in a changeover design using 12 Holstein cows. Each experimental period lasted for 3 wk. The diet fed as a total mixed ration consisted of 45% corn silage, 5% coarsely chopped wheat straw, and 50% concentrate...

Abstract Myo-inositol is a breakdown product of phytate produced in the gut through action phytase. Although effect phytase-released phosphorus on growth performance animals has been well characterized, there still little understanding myo-inositol effects. The objectives this study were to determine effects added phytate-rich low-protein diet and apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) growi...
