Objective: The aim of this experiment was to determine chemical composition, protein quality of corn gluten meal (CGM) and its effect on growth performance of broiler chicks. Methods: Chemical composition and nitrogen corrected true metabolizable energy of CGM was determined by standard and precision-fed cockerel assay methods.  For evaluating of protein quality, 90 male broiler chicks in a com...

the objective of this study was to compare growth performance and feed conversion ratios of rainbow trout (oncorhynchus mykiss) and brook trout (salvelinus fontinalis) juveniles in monoculture and duo-culture in freshwater and seawater under aquarium conditions. the fish were about 2-months old hatchery-reared brook and rainbow trout with initial weights of 0.934±0.033 (n=360) and 1.014±0.019 (...

Time performances and time-based competition concepts are analysed, introducing three types of time-based competitors. A traditional and an innovative path towards time-based competition are then recognised, the former achievable by over-resource applying, while the latter by practices related to just-in-time and concurrent engineering. It is explained how making a "rm structurally faster leads...

Using probiotics can control pathogens by a variety of mechanisms. Probiotics can promote growth performance and have, therefore, become increasingly important in the aquaculture industry. Convict Cichlid belongs to the family of Cichlidae and is known for its rapid development in laboratory conditions and is suitable for behavioral examinations. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect...

this study was conducted to investigate the prediction of growth performance using linear regression and artificial neural network (ann) in broiler chicken. artificial neural networks (anns) are powerful tools for modeling systems in a wide range of applications. the ann model with a back propagation algorithm successfully learned the relationship between the inputs of metabolizable energy (kca...

This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of different levels of garlic (Allium sativum) on growth survival and nutritional characteristics of goldfish (Carassius auratus). For this purpose, 180 goldfish with an average initial weight of 1.18± 0.08 g were introduced randomly into 12 aquaria (50×30×40 cm) at 4 groups. After one week feeding on basal diet, the treatments were fed on exper...
