The research work was planned on 120 unsexed day old broiler chicks, sixty each of Cari Vishal and Cobb broiler chicken to notice the effect on body weight gain and oocyst outputs against E. tenella infection. The effect of dosage of coccidial challenge was found to be significant (P<0.05) only at 4th week of age among treatment groups. The least squares mean (LSM) for body weight (g) differed ...

The experiment was to study the effects of replacing soybean meal by rubber seed meal on growth, economics and carcass characteristics of broiler. A total of 150 day-old commercial broiler (Cobb-500) was reared for a period of 35 days. There were five treatments including T0 (without rubber seed meal), T1 (10% rubber seed meal), T2 (20% rubber seed meal), and T3 (30% rubber seed meal) and T4 (4...

The effect of thyroid hormones on metabolism has long supported their potential as drugs to stimulate fat reduction, but the concomitant induction of a thyrotoxic state has greatly limited their use. Recent evidence suggests that 3,5-diiodo-L-thyronine (T2), a naturally occurring iodothyronine, stimulates metabolic rate via mechanisms involving the mitochondrial apparatus. We examined whether t...

artemia plays a major role in aquaculture as one of the most important live foods used in larval rearing. the aim of this study was to determine the optimum level of feeding in artemia urmiana with baker&apos;s yeast (saccharomyces cerevisiae). triplicate groups were fed with different levels of s. cerevisiae yeast 0.625 (control), 1.25 (t1), 2.50 (t2), 5.0 (t3) (mg yeast per 1000 nauplii) for ...

The present experiment was conducted to evaluate the palatability, growth and economics of silkworm pupae meal (SWPM) feeding, replacing fish (FM) in cattle calves. Crossbred calves (15) around one-month age were selected for study divided into three equal groups (n=5) viz., T0 (100% FM), T1 (75% FM: 25% SWPM) T2 (50% 50% SWPM). To estimate parameters fortnightly, a trial 90 days conducted, dig...

Twenty-four yearling male local Washera lambs with an average initial body weight of 18.14 ± 1.07 kg were used to assess the nutritional value of Millettia ferruginea. Experimental animals were grouped into six blocks of four animals, and each animal was randomly assigned to one of the four dietary treatment feeds. The treatments used were; Sole natural pasture grass hay (T1), and 150, 300, 450...

Present study was planned to screen locally available tanniferous tree leaves for their chemical composition, presence of condensed tannins (CT), potential source of CT and suitable leaf meal mixture (LMM) was formulated for incorporation in the densified complete feed blocks (DCF). Two types of blocks (with and without CT; CT-DCF and DCF, respectively) were formulated and prepared. Twelve adul...

An experiment was undertaken to develop a suitable seed production technique for Sperata aor in captivity. Naturally produced fry of aor was reared at different densities in nine nursery ponds 0.012 ha in size with an average depth of 0.8 m each. Three stocking densities tested, each of which was triplicated. Fry of aor stocked at 100,000/ha was designated as treatment-1 (T1), 150,000/ha as tre...
