Any deficiency in trace element content of commercial poultry diets will decrease their performance. To prevent this situation it is necessary to supplement trace minerals in poultry diets to allow the modern birds to reach their genetic potential. The NRC publication as the most famous reference for livestock and poultry nutrients requirement has no recommendation for some less needed trace mi...

Nutritional support is an important aspect of the management of burn patients. Nutrition supplementation can be achieved either by 'hospital-made' or 'commercial' diets. Commercial diets are efficacious but expensive and sometimes not easily available. This study was undertaken to compare the efficacy and tolerance of a hospital-made diet with a commercial diet. Twenty patients with burns rangi...

Hobbyist and researchers often use commercially available phytoplankton concentrates to maintain filter feeding organisms held in their ornamental or experimental tanks. This study investigated the nutritional value of 10 products available commercially for juvenile hard clams, Mercenaria mercenaria. Growth and mortality rates in clams fed these products were compared with those found in clams ...

the effect of feeding barley-based diets (%60) supplemented with four commercial enzymes containing xylanase and ?-glucanase activities were investigated on performance and gastrointestinal size of broiler chicks. the enzyme supplemented diets were compared with unsupplemented barley- or corn-based diets. a total of 234-day-old male broiler chicks (ross 308) were allocated to 6 treatment groups...

Commercial Australian White turkey poults, kept in small pens, were fed commercial diets until 8 weeks. Poults were then fed either 20 per cent dietary protein, with or without added lysine, or 24 per cent dietary protein, each with a metabolizable energy content of either 11.5 or 12.75 MJ/kg. The poults fed on the 24 per cent protein diet were heavier than those on the 20 per cent protein diet...

This 42-day experiment was undertaken to compare the nutritional value of insect-protected corn event MON810 (YieldGard) and YieldGard x herbicide-tolerant corn event GA21 (Roundup Ready) to their nontransgenic controls as well as four different commercial reference corns, when fed to growing Cobb x Cobb broilers. A randomized complete block design was used, and each treatment was replicated wi...
