Four experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of deoxynivalenol (DON) from naturally contaminated dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) and the efficacy of feed additives in nursery pig diets. In Exp. 1, 180 pigs (10.3 ± 0.2 kg BW) were fed 1 of 5 diets for 21 d. Diets were 1) Positive Control (PC; < 0.5 mg/kg DON), 2) Negative Control (NC; 4 mg/kg DON), 3) NC + 0.10% Biofix...

We conducted two experiments to study the effects of pelleting and pellet conditioning temperature on weanling pig performance. In Exp. 1, 252 weanling pigs (PIC, L326 x C22) averaging 6.0 +/- 1.3 kg and 21 +/- 3 d of age were used to evaluate six corn-soybean meal-based diets containing 15% dried whey and formulated to contain 1.4% lysine. Treatments consisted of a control diet without spray-d...

Understanding the effects of processing pulses is required for their effective incorporation into livestock feed. To determine impact processing, Canadian peas, lentils, chickpeas, and faba beans, plus soybean meal (SBM; as a comparison), were ground fine coarse products pelleted at three different temperatures (60–65, 70–75, 80–85 °C). Grinding increased crude protein content in all ( P &lt; 0...

This protocol describes how to prepare rat liver rough microsomes that contain undegraded membrane-bound polysomes and can function very well in an in vitro translation system. It uses endogenous ribonuclease inhibitor in all steps, avoiding pelleting rough microsomes in all steps and sacrificing good recovery.

This study investigated the influence of particle size and feed form on the performance, the AME(n), and the gross morphological and histological parameters of various segments of the digestive tracts of broilers fed wheat-based diets. The experimental design was a 2 x 2 factorial arrangement of treatments evaluating 2 wheat particle sizes (medium and coarse) and 2 feed forms (mash and pellet)....

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Unhygienic poultry feedstuffs can lead to nutrient losses and detrimental effect on poultry production and public health. In the present study, mycobiota and colony-forming units per gram in ingredients and finish poultry feed was evaluated with special reference to potentially mycotoxigenic fungi. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eighty five samples of corn, soybean meal and p...

in tropical pulses such as mung bean use of zeolite due to keep of moisture is important. to study of effects of seed pelleting with zeolite and seed priming with iron chelate on protein and grain yield of mung bean cultivars in ahvaz conditions, an experiment was conducted as a factorial in randomized completely block design (rcbd) with three replication in experimental farm of the ramin unive...
