The importance of protein quality for practical rations becomes evident as soon as an attempt is made to economize and to establish for such rations the lowest level of protein that will give efficient production. Woodman & Evans (195 I) demonstrated this point with pigs fed on a simplified barley-fine-bran ration. Supplementation with fish meal at the rate of 4.2% protein gave efficient produc...

Results: Gender, animal density, and concurrent disease were not associated with death due to HBS. Rates of death due to HBS were higher for pigs finished during the summer than for those finished in the winter. Rates of death due to HBS were lower in pigs fed rations containing bacitracin methylene disalicylate or chlortetracycline than in pigs on rations containing virginiamycin or no antibio...

without meeting fresh supplies, whilst the one week's " daur" is now a prominent feature of Indian Frontier warfare. When here we speak of emergency rations therefore we mean not so much the compressed food ration, which may keep a man going for a day or so, though this rightly, too, has its place in every man's haversack, as that collection of foods that an army cut oft from all fresh supplies...

In the absence of a political solution, we believe that there are only two ethical alternatives. Preferably, more autonomy should be granted to the refugees and aid should be targeted towards restoring their livelihoods. Such a change would probably involve dividing the camps i...

An on-farm experiment was conducted with Nellore ram lambs by feeding intensively for five months period with sole maize silage (R-I), silage + concentrate at 0.5 per cent body weight (R-II), silage + concentrate at 1.0 per cent body weight (R-III), silage + concentrate at 1.5 per cent body weight (R-IV), silage + lucerne hay (R-V) and silage + GN haulms (R-VI) to develop a feeding system based...
