The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of different levels of synthetic lysine (sLys) on dry matter intake (DMI), average daily weight gain (ADG), dry matter conversion ratio (DMCR), carcass characteristics and economics of productionof finisher broiler chicks. As 240 day-old broiler chicks were randomly distributed to 12 pens of 20 chicks each and assigned to four treatment rations in ...

Spontaneously hypertensive rats were placed on weight-reducing diets either by limiting regular feedings to twice weekly or by providing half the normal ration daily. Significant reductions in body weight and blood pressure were observed at 2,4, and 6 weeks after beginning the diet. Blood pressure fell despite maintenance of a normal or elevated sodium intake indicating that the reduction was n...

Introduction Small quantity lipid-based nutrient supplements (SQ-LNS) have been designed to prevent undernutrition, including stunting, wasting and micronutrient deficiencies [1]. A daily 20 g ration of SQ-LNS provides about 110–120 kcal along with protein, essential fatty acids and 22 micronutrients. Studies assessing the impact of SQ-LNS and medium-quantity LNS (MQ-LNS; at ~50 g or ~250-280 k...

The study examined the growth performance of pigs offered liquid feed or dry feed on either a restricted or an ad libitum basis, and whether their growth performance was further influenced by the water-to-feed ratio. The study was split into two parts to enable unrestricted (trial 1; n = 64) and restricted (trial 2; n = 48) feeding to be compared. Male pigs were randomly allocated to six dietar...

Primary data were generated from field surveys conducted with the aid of questionnaires, personal interviews, field measurements and conversation between May and August, 2005 on the feeding management practices of 90 smaller holder turkey farmers in Imo State. All of the farmers fed their turkeys with commercial chicken feeds. Fifty (50.00%) of the farmers used chicken layer rations for their b...
