A feeding trial was conducted to determine the effect of varying dietary levels protein on performance Japanese quail chicks. Six iso-caloric (2953-3078 kcal/kg, ME) diets were formulated contain crude (CP) at 18, 20, 22, 24, 26 and 28% levels, respectively. Each treatment replicated three times with sixty (60) chicks per replicate. total 1080 day-old unsexed used for study distributed using co...

The objective of this study is to characterize the influence of immune stress induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on protein utilization and turnover for early-weaned pigs. A total of 15, crossbred weanling pigs (initial body weight 10.15±0.39 kg) were assigned to one of three treatments. Pigs were injected with LPS and fed ad libitum (LPS-challenge), or injected with endotoxinfree physiologica...

this experiment was carried out to study the effect of sodium chloride from drinking water and feed intake on the quality of egs from laying hens. four hundred and twenty native and white leghorn laying hens ranging from 36 to 43 weeks of age were used. seven experimental treatments containing different levels of salt supplied by feed and/or drinking water were compared. increasing salt int...

The current study was conducted to investigate the effect of early feed restriction (FR, 8 to 14 d of age) on growth performance and immune function in broiler chickens. Birds were fed corresponding diets from 3 to 35 d of age, which consisted of three phases: starter (3 to 7 d of age), FR (8 to 14 d of age) and re-alimentation (15 to 35 d of age) phases. During the FR period, each group of bir...

OBJECTIVE Restriction of energy intake produces weight loss, but the rate of loss is seldom sustained. This is presumed to be a consequence of compensatory reductions in energy expenditure, although the exact contributions of different components to the energy budget remain uncertain. We examined the compensatory responses of mice to a 20% dietary restriction. RESEARCH METHODS AND PROCEDURES ...

fifteen holstein male calves (416 ± 35 kg initial bw; mean ± sd) were employed in a replicated 3 × 3 latin square test to investigate the effect of partial replacement of barley grain by wheat factory sewage (wfs) within three 22-d periods including 16 d of adaptation and 6 d of data collection. the basal diet (wfs0) consisted of 42.5% (dm basis) barley grain, partially replaced with either 23....

Effect of feed supplementation to does grazed on naturally grown grasses during pre-partum on growth, reproduction and lactation performances of does and growth of the kids were investigated. Fifteen two-toothed and non-pregnant does of about one and half year of age constituted the experimental animals which were randomly allocated in the three groups of 5 and offered A) grazing ad libitum + l...

The aim of this trial was to study the influence of loose-mix feeding on behavior, feed intake, and BW of growing geese. In total, 252 one-day-old geese (Anser anser) were divided into 2 groups differing in the form of diet they received between 42 and 98 d of age (AMEn 11.55 MJ/kg, CP 16%): a complete pelleted diet containing 500 g of sorghum/kg (control group) or a mixture containing 500 g of...
