This study evaluated the effects of various types feeding on fattening period and performance Linda geese. Feeding patterns consisted concentrate feed-based intensive pasture semi-intensive. A total 150 goslings aged three days were divided into two groups, each consisting replications. All groups given rations containing 23% crude protein 3100 kcal/kg ME in weeks 0–6, 20% between 7 17.

Abnormal behaviour commonly develops in intensively managed horses. A possible cause is the change in diet occurring when the horse is stabled. An experiment was performed to examine this possibility by manipulating the diet with the feed supplement virginiamycin, as Founderguard. During 4 weeks, 18 horses were fed diets ranging from hay alone to concentrate plus hay in the ratio of 3:1. The ra...

BACKGROUND Health and wellbeing are partly shaped by the neighbourhood environment. In 2011, an eight kilometre (five mile) extension to the M74 motorway was opened in Glasgow, Scotland, constructed through a predominantly urban, deprived area. We evaluated the effects of the new motorway on wellbeing in local residents. METHODS This natural experimental study involved a longitudinal cohort (...

The production and productivity of small ruminant in humid West Africa is being limited by feed constraints, which are largely due to non-strategic utilization combination available resources develop an efficient feeding system, rather than absolute non availability. Farmers under semi-intensive system commonly offer supplements their animals the morning before grazing fibrous grasses all day. ...

Eight crossbred (75% Holstein Friesian) cows in mid-lactation were randomly assigned to a switchback design with a 2x2 factorial arrangement to evaluate two nonstructural carbohydrate (NSC) sources (corn meal and cassava chips) with different rumen degradability and used at two levels of NSC (55 vs. 75%) with protein source (supplied by urea in the concentrate mix). The treatments were 1) Low d...
