Microorganisms which contaminate animal feeds pose a threat not only to animals but also indirectly to humans through their consumption of products of animal origin. The aim of the present study was to assess microbiological cleanness of selected resources and ready-made feed mixtures before and after thermal processing. The results indicated that the most bacteriologically contaminated resourc...

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of the different levels of vermi (Eisenia fetida) meal on fermented ration in broiler chicken growth and profitability under two management systems. For this purpose, 120 day old broiler chickens (cobb vantress) were tested in a Completely Randomized Design with four (4) dietary treatments: first, the commercial feeds (control), second, 2% vermi ...

In this paper we show how a resource-oriented logic, separation logic, can be used to reason about the usage of resources in concurrent programs.

Quality, quantity, and cost of feed resources available for beef production vary from one region of the country to another and within regions, depending upon climatic factors and natural resources available in specific production situations. Diversity among breeds can be exploited by crossbreeding to optimize performance levels and to match genetic resources with the climatic environment, feed ...

Most North Dakota sheep production scenarios require substantially more resources, such as feed, labor, and facilities during late gestation and lactation. Early identification of pregnancy and pregnancy rate in sheep provides managers several options to increase flock productivity. First, removal of non-pregnant ewes can increase available resources for pregnant ewes. Second, identification of...

Growing pearl millet and cowpea in combination with raising ruminant livestock is widely practised in the Sahel. In this farming system, livestock feeding depends mostly on rangeland, fallows and cropland grazing. Nutritional constraints to grazing ruminants stem primarily from feed scarcity and seasonal fluctuations in feed supply associated with low rainfall and poor soil fertility. Low feed ...
