This study was designed to determine the effect of adding a molasses-based liquid feed (LF) supplement to a high-grain mixed ration on the feed sorting behavior and growth of grain-fed veal calves. Twenty-four Holstein bull veal calves (90.2 ± 2.6 d of age, weighing 137.5 ± 16.9 kg) were split into groups of 4 and exposed, in a crossover design with 35-d periods, to each of 2 treatment diets: 1...

the sterlet (acipenser ruthenus) is one of the species of the exotic sturgeon (acipenseridae) family in iran. this important species produces caviar every year at the lowest cost and in the shortest time. the objective of this research was to assess the effect of digestarom, as a nutritional supplement, on the growth indices and safety factors of synthetically-cultured baby sterlets (acipenser ...

OBJECTIVE Despite their independent cardiovascular disease (CVD) advantages, effects of α-linolenic acid (ALA), monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA), and low-glycemic-load (GL) diets have not been assessed in combination. We therefore determined the combined effect of ALA, MUFA, and low GL on glycemic control and CVD risk factors in type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS The study was a pa...

Abstract This experiment explores the effect and optimal levels of irradiated Chitosan (IrC) in diet on lipogenesis its blood lipid profile Sentul Chickens starter phase. The IrC was generated from shrimp waste chitin, addition to being a feed supplement, it has potential reduce environmental pollution. Furthermore, chickens were 100 samples, reared 0-8 weeks, observed variables included trigly...

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of levels concentrate supplement and dietary lipids on nutritional characteristics, metabolic parameters, performance Nellore bulls grazing tropical pasture. Twenty-seven were allotted 2 × completely randomized factorial design with two supplementation lipids. The was fed at 4 g kg-1 BW (low supplementation) 8 (high supplementation), whereas lipid conten...

Since 50 to 70% of input costs are associated with feed, manipulating nutrition can make operations more profitable, BUT manipulation must be done strategically not to affect future cattle performance. Knowing when to supplement cows and what form of supplement will work in a given operation at a given time is often clouded by what feedstuffs a producer has available. In essence, understanding ...

We conducted a case-control study to determine the contribution of lead to blood from consumption of calcium supplements approximating the recommended daily intakes over a 6-month period. Subjects were males and females ages 21 to 47 years (geometric mean 32 years) with a geometric mean blood lead concentration of 2.5 microg/dL. They were subdivided into three groups. One treatment group (n = 8...

in order to evaluate the effect of feeding different levels of vermi-humus supplement (as a source of humic acid) on the performance of broiler chickens an experiment was conducted using 240 broiler chickens (ross 308) in a completely randomized design by four treatments (vermi-humus levels of 0, 0.5, 1 and 1.5 percent) and five replicates of 12 chickens per each for 42 day. the experimental tr...

An experiment was carried to evaluate the effects of gender and two dietary ionophores on growth performance and slaughter characteristics in Moghani sheep. A total of 30 Moghani lambs (15 males and 15 females) were distributed randomly into 30 individual cages. Each gender group consisted of 5 animals and fed with a basal diet with no supplement, the same basal diet plus 25 mg/kg monensin (MON...
