this study was performed with growing chicken (14 to 56 d of age) to evaluate the effects of feeding them a barley or triticale-based diet. the treatments were corn diet (1) as a control, hulless barley diet with (5) or without (2) enzyme, triticale diet with (6) or without (3) enzyme and hulled barley diet with (7) or without (4) a commercial β-glucanase enzyme. in a digestibility trial, 21 ma...

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary levels of vitamins E (25, 30 and 35 mg kg-1), Folic Acid (1.5, 2 and 2.5 mg kg-1) and their combination on the growth performance, hematological and immunological parameters of rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss. Each diet was fed to rainbow trout in triplicate to apparent satiation four times daily for 8 weeks. At the end of the feedi...

in this study, fish meal (fm) was replaced by the black soldier fly maggot meal (bsfm) with replacement levels at 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%. the feeding trial was conducted for 56 days and the effect of each replacement level on the growth performance, feed utilization, body composition and survival of the experimental fish was assessed. all the experimental diets were well accepted by the fis...

1. Wistar rats were fed on a control semi-synthetic diet throughout pregnancy, or a control diet in the first 2 weeks and a marginal-zinc diet in the 3rd week of pregnancy. On day 20, after an overnight fast, half the animals in each group were given glucose by gavage and the 0-30 min rise in blood glucose measured in tail blood. After 60 min blood was taken by cardiac puncture for glucose and ...

As lactating cows in severe negative energy balance have poor reproductive performance, the effect of dietary fat supplementation (fish oil, soybean oil) on PGFM secretion, ovarian function and blood metabolites is investigated. In this experiment, the effects of dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids on plasma metabolites, ovarian function and prostaglandin secretion of 20 primiparous Holstein co...
