The objective of this study was to examine the health and meat production of cloned sows and their progenies in order to demonstrate the application of somatic cell cloning to the pig industry. This study compared the growth, reproductive performance, carcass characteristics and meat quality of Landrace cloned sows, F1 progenies and F2 progenies. We measured their body weight, growth rate and f...

twenty male raini goats with an average live weight of 30 ± 2.5 kg and 18 month of age. ,were used in a completely randomized design with 4 experimental diets and 5 replications to study effect of different levels by-pass(udp) protein(2.75, 4.86, 5.91 and 6.97 percent in dry matter) on growth and carcass characteristics. metabolismable energy (me) level of the all diets were similar (10.04 mj m...

Carcass quality of JamunaparixBlack Bengal (JBB), Black Bengal selected for growth (SBB) and random-bred (RBB) wethers of 1 year of age was studied. There was no significant difference between JBB and SBB in pre-slaughter traits and carcass characteristics, except height at wither and dressing percentage which were significantly higher in JBB than in SBB, and muscle fiber diameter which was sig...

The pork industry is constantly seeking economical methods which will increase production efficiency and carcass quality. Three nutritional management “tools” at pork producer’s disposal that have been demonstrated to improve growth performance and carcass characteristics are: 1) adding rendered animal fats to diets; 2) adding the recently approved feed additive ractopamine to finishing diets; ...

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...

an experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of feed restriction (fr) and meal feeding (mf) on performance, carcass characteristics and related parameters to ascites in ross 308 male broiler chickens. five dietary treatments were 1) the control (ad libo. feeding), 2 )feed restriction from 7 to 14 days (fr14), 3) feed restriction from 7 to 21 days (fr21), 4) meal feeding from 7 to 14 days ...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of mushroom waste and probiotic levels on growth performance, carcass characteristics, and meat quality in broiler chickens. a 2 × 3 factorial arrangement with two levels of probiotic supplementation (0 and recommended rate) and three levels of mushroom waste inclusion (0%, 3%, and 6%) was used in a completely randomized design using male broi...
