the effects of phytase and glycosidase supplementation to diets containing rice bran on broiler performance were investigated by using 200 day old (308 ross) broiler chicks in a completely randomized design with five treatments and four replicates. the five dietary treatments were as: corn-soybean meal based diet; diet containing rice bran; diet containing rice bran supplemented with natafous; ...

the objective of this study was to investigate the effects of dietary artichoke supplementation on performance, carcass traits and some blood parameters of broiler chickens. a total of 300, one day old broiler chicks (ross-308) were randomly allocated to 1 of 4 dietary treatments including: basal diet (control), basal diet supplemented with 1.5 or 3 percent of artichoke powder and also with 300...

The aim of the study was to determine the effect of dietary supplementation of organic acids on the performance, intestinal histomorphology, and blood biochemistry of broiler chicken. The birds in the control (T(1)) group were fed the basal diet whereas in other treatment groups basal diet was supplemented with 2% butyric acid (T(2)), 3% butyric acid (T(4)), 2% fumaric acid (T(4)), 3% fumaric a...

Role of persimmon (Diospyros kaki, Thunb ‘Saijo’) peel was investigated on developing atherosclerosis in low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR)-deficient mice with emphasis on lipid metabolism, physio-biological oxidation, production of related atherogenic autoantigens, and production of anti-atherogenic natural antibodies. Male LDLRdeficient mice were fed high fat diet or high fat diet supple...

Growing gilts that had catheters inserted into the portal vein, ileal vein, and carotid artery and that were trained to consume 1.2 kg of a 16% CP corn-soybean meal basal diet once daily were used. In Trial 1, hourly simultaneous measurements of the O2 consumption by portal vein-drained organs (PVDO) and by the whole animal during the 24- to 30-h postprandial period were conducted in eight pigs...

The objectives of these experiments were to study the positive associative effects of supplementing barley straw-based diets with different levels of alfalfa hay on nutrient intake, rumen environment, and nutrient digestibility and to evaluate the minimal amount of alfalfa hay needed to produce such an effect in ewes. In experiment one, 15 Awassi ewes (®ve ruminally ®stulated; body weight ˆ 54 ...

A series of trials was conducted to determine the effects of supplemental rumen-protected methionine (RPMet) and lysine (RPLys) on nutrient metabolism and performance. In situ RPMet N disappearance was less than 4% following 48 h of incubation and was not affected (P greater than .05) by diet or resultant ruminal pH differences, indicating that RPMet was well protected from ruminal microbial de...

A metabolism study and two feedlot trials were conducted to evaluate urea supplementation of peanut skin (PS) diets and ammoniation of PS as methods of reducing detrimental effects of tannins in PS on nutrient digestibility and performance of beef cattle. Tannin content of PS was reduced by 42% after ammoniation. Digestibility coefficients for dry matter, crude protein, nitrogen free extract, e...
