Research on the impact of supplementing additional dietary choline to modern, large-frame broiler chickens is limited, and current recommendations are outdated. The objective this study was determine effect chloride supplementation growth performance carcass characteristics modern broilers reared 32 days age. Corn soybean meal-based diets were formulated contain an 0, 400, 800, 1200, 1600, or 2...

A study was conducted in a completely randomized design to evaluate the performance, excreta characteristics, and some blood nitrogen metabolite concentrations of 28-d-old male broilers fed 4 experimental diets in which CP was decreased in a stepwise manner from 23 to 17%. The other 4 diets were formulated to have 19 and 17% CP, in which 2 of them contained an additional 10% of particular essen...

Two experiments were conducted with Polypay ewes nursing twin lambs to evaluate the effects of supplementing fat (calcium salts of palm oil fatty acids or hydrogenated tallow) on ewe lactation. In Exp. 1, ewes were fed a 52% concentrate:48% hay-based diet (as-fed basis) consisting of alfalfa hay (n = 4), endophyte-free fescue hay (n = 4), or fescue hay with 3.7% fatty acids (n = 4) from d 4 to ...

A common approach to dealing with software requirements volatility is to define product families instead of single products. In earlier papers we have developed an algebra of such families that, roughly, consists in a more abstract view of and-or trees of features as used in Feature-Oriented Domain Analysis. A product family is represented by an algebraic term over the feature names; it can be ...

The effect of supplementing barley diets with urea (U), extracted decorticated groundnut meal (GNM) or Peruvian fish meal (PFM) on plasma free amino acid concentrations in sheep have been examined and the first limiting amino acid has been indicated by measuring the changes in the concentration of the plasma essential amino acids (PEAA) during a rumen infusions of a volatile fatty acid (VFA) mi...
