Shirbot (Barbus grypus) as a species with high potential for aquaculture development recently propagated artificially in South Iran Aquaculture Research Center to extend the species diversity in polyculture system. To provide an effective economic diet for this species 9 experimental diets containing three crude protein levels (250, 300, and 350 g kg -1) and three metabolizable energy levels ...

The response of laying Japanese quails to dietary levels of energy and protein on performance, egg quality, hatchability, fertility and their effect on subsequent offspring live body weight was investigated. A total of 432 Japanese quails (13 weeks old) were divided into nine treatments. Each treatment comprised of four replicates of twelve birds (9 females and 3 males). Nine diets including th...

this study evaluated the effects of 0.25% activated charcoal added to sesame seed meal (ssm) in partial replacement of soybean meal (sbm) of juvenile clarias gariepinus diet on growth and haematological parameters for 70 day experimental period. six experimental diets were formulated as: control diet 1 (100% ssm without activated charcoal), control diet 2 (100% ssm plus 0.25% activated charcoal...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of supplemental l-arginine (arg) in reduced-protein diets on cardiopulmonary performance and intestinal morphology in the broilers reared at high altitude. a total of 156 day-old male broilers were randomly assigned to 3 treatments and 4 replicates of 13 chicks and reared up to 42 days of age. treatment groups were designed as a normal-prote...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of different levels of crude protein and probiotic in diets on performance, egg quality  and blood biochemical and immunity parameters of laying hens. a completely randomized design with factorial method (2×4) was conducted in which two levels of crude protein (nrc and 10% lower than nrc recommendation) and 4 levels of probiotic (0, .025%, 0...

A 60-day trial with six diets (three different protein levels × two different lipid levels) containing 30, 35 and 40% protein with 10 and 15% lipid levels was conducted to determine the optimum dietary protein to lipid ratio and effects on growth performance and hematological indices of Aspikutum, Leuciscus aspius female×Rutilus frisii male. Two hundred and fifty two fish (31.2±0.4 g; mean±SEM)...

A 60-days feeding trail was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary digestible energy levels (DE) on kutum, Rutilus frisii kutum. Four is nitrogenous (35% protein) diets with digestible energy levels of 2500, 2600, 2700 and 2800kcal kg-1 was tested. Two hundred and forty advanced fry (2±0.4g) were randomly distributed in 12 fiberglass tanks of 400L capacity. Nutritional responses in...

an experiment was conducted to study the effect of metabolizable energy (me) and protein of japanese quails diets on offspring performance and antibody production against sheep red blood cell (srbc). a total of 432 japanese quails (13 week-old) were divided into nine treatments. each treatment comprised four replicates of twelve birds (9 female and 3 male). nine diets including three levels of ...
