the study was carried out to evaluate the effects of complete replacement of maize with two varieties of guinea corn and two varieties of millets on the growth performance and nutrient retention in broiler chickens. five isonitrogenous and isocaloric diets for the broiler starter (23.5% cp; 2800 kcal/me) and finisher (21.5% cp; 2900 kcal/me) phases were formulated. diet 1 consisted on a maize b...

Nitrogen (N) management strategies that maintain high crop productivity with reduced water quality impacts are needed for tile-drained landscapes of the US Midwest. The objectives of this study were to determine the effect of N application rate, timing, and fall nitrapyrin addition on tile drainage nitrate losses, corn ( L.) yield, N recovery efficiency, and postharvest soil nitrate content ove...

Yearling steers were fed corn-based diets supplemented with urea or soybean meal plus urea, and none, 2%, or 4% fat. All steers were implanted with Revalor-S and fed for 118 days. Adding fat did not improve performance of the steers in the feedlot or improve carcass characteristics. Feeding soybean meal increased rate of gain, improved feed efficiency, increased carcass weight, and tended to im...

Forty-eight grower pigs were used to evaluate the effects of feeding low phytic acid (LPA) corn, LPA soybean meal, normal corn (NC), normal soybean meal (NSBM), and phytase on nutrient digestibility and excretion. Barrows were blocked by BW (initial BW=45.3+/-1.6 kg) and randomly assigned to 1 of 8 dietary treatments in a 2 x 2 x 2 factorial arrangement (6 pigs/treatment). Pigs were fed twice d...

The aim of this study was to compare the effects of three antibiotic alternatives with a control (Antibiotic-free) and an antibiotic diet on performance and gut morphology of broilers reared on litter. 600 day-old ROSS-308 chicks were assigned to 48 pens in a CRD design with 6 × 2 factorial arrangements, in which 2 levels of chick density (5 and 7.5 chicks/m2) and 6 experimental diets (control,...

The objective of this study was to determine and compare the chemical composition; oxidation indicators; ether extract (EE) digestibility; digestible, metabolizable, net energy (DE, ME, NE, respectively) content distillers corn oil (DCO) from Brazil (CBR) United States (CUS), with refined (RSB) degummed soybean (DSB) offered pigs. Fifty crossbred barrows (23.1±3.4 kg body weight) were fed a cor...

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of corn addition to Italian ryegrass (IRG) (Lolium multi ̄orum Lam.) on rumen environment, nutrient digestibility, methane production and energy and nitrogen utilization by goats at two intake levels. Eight castrated Japanese goats were employed in two sequential digestion and metabolism trials. The goats were divided into two groups, offered t...

in order to evaluate the yield and advantage of two- and three-species intercropping of sunflower with corn and soybean, an experiment was conducted at the research farm of faculty of agriculture of tabriz university in tabriz, iran 2011. the experiment was arranged based on randomized completely block design with 6 treatments and three replications. treatments were included the pure stand of s...
