GRANT, C. C. BIGGS, H.C. MEISSNER, H.H. & SASSON, P.A. 1996. The usefulness of faecal phosphorus and nitrogen in interpreting differences in live-mass gain and the response to P supplementation in grazing cattle in arid regions. Onderstepoort Journal of Veterinary Research, 2:121-126 The average daily gains of heifers and oxen on commercial and experimental farms in Namibia were used to indicat...

the effects of different levels (0, 10, 20 and 30 percentage of dry matter) of apple pomace ensiled with urea were investigated on 24 ghezel male lambs in a completely randomized design with four treatments and six replicates. the average starting weight and age of the lambs were 31.27 ± 7.40 and 187 ± 37 days, respectively. after 15 days of adaptation, the lambs were individually fed with expe...

an 84-day feeding trial was carried out onfingerling (4.44 ± 0.06 g) rainbow trout (oncorhynchusmykiss, walbaum, 1792) to evaluate the effect of dietary supplementation with a commercial prebiotic grobiotic®-a (g-a) on the growth, feed efficiency, haematology and immunlogical parameters. ttreatments containing various inclusions of g-a (0 %, 0.5 %, 1.0 %, 1.5 %, 2.0 %, 2.5 %, and 3.0 %) were ad...

This contribution discribes a new method for monitoring productivity in the slaughter pig production unit. The method is implemented with a graphical user interface. By calculating average daily gain each time a group of slaughter pigs is delivered to the slaughterhouse, a time series is made. Among other features, the application allows the user to monitor the time series graphicaly. Monitorin...

Association of genetic polymorphism in the calpastatin (CAST) gene with average daily gain was examined in Iranian purebred Kurdi sheep. The genotypes for CAST were determined by the PCR-SSCP method. Blood samples were collected from 84 purebred Kurdi sheep belonging to the Kurdi Breeding Station located in the Khorasan province, north-east of Iran. Extraction of genomic DNA was based on the Gu...
