Abstract Dietary energy and nutrient losses associated with its conversion into animal products increase production costs contribute to the environmental footprint of farms excessive application nitrogen, phosphorus, or trace minerals from manure carbon methane losses. Formulating diets appropriate levels amino acids can help improve dietary protein efficiency reduce For example, an 8% reductio...

Soybean meal is considered the “gold standard” among intact protein sources used in the feed industry (Cromwell, 1999). It has an excellent amino acid profile that complements cereal grains in diet formulation, as methionine is typically the only limiting amino acid for poultry. Soybean meal is characterized as either from dehulled beans or beans having hulls (NRC, 1994). Dehulled soybean meal ...

Persistence of Bacillus thuringiensis is an important factor in determining the success of this product as a pest control agent. In this report we present the development of a highly active mosquitocidal formulation with high resistance to UV. LLP29-M19 strain of Bt, selected by repeated exposure to UV was found to be highly resistant to UV. The product was optimized and the methods used were s...

Diet formulation recommendations for transition cows vary widely due to conflicting experimental results, wide variation in feeding programs among well-managed herds, and lack of understanding of the effects of digestion characteristics of feeds on animal response. Physiological changes over the transition period greatly affect feed intake response to diet. Application of a new theory of feed i...

Abstract The spiny lobsters Panulirus ornatus and homarus are important developing tropical aquaculture species, with high demand limited supply. established industry in Vietnam relies on wild‐caught mixed seafood bycatch as feed, a practice linked to water quality degradation potentially disease proliferation lobster aquaculture, necessitating formulated feed development. emerging Indonesian A...

Accurate assessment of nutrient bioavailability is critical for achieving an optimal balance between sufficient and excess for major feed components such as protein sources. Optimizing feed protein sources for farm animal amino acid (AA) requirements is difficult to achieve given the variations in protein quality. Feeding excess protein to meet AA requirements contributes to excess nitrogen (N)...

The mechanics of the cutting process on the microscopic level differ fundamentally from the conventional macro cutting. For example, the tool edge radius influences the cutting mechanism in micro machining significantly with regard to the effective rake angle, the minimum chip thickness, the dominance of ploughing, and the related elasto-plastic deformation of the workpiece material. These phen...

Introduction New poultry feed valorization pathways for recovered household food could be enabled by commercially available devices that dry uneaten material, arrest spoilage, and preserve nutrient content. However, the composition, safety, incorporation potential of dried (DRHF) is presently unknown. Methods Thirty-eight households spanning 31 states participated in a 4-to-6-week survey to gen...
