Effects of S from wet or dry distillers grains with solubles (DGS) containing 0.82 or 1.16% S on animal growth performance, carcass characteristics, apparent total tract digestibility, and ruminal parameters were evaluated. In Exp. 1, crossbred beef steers (n = 120; 345 ± 34 kg BW) were individually fed ad libitum using Calan gates. Treatments were applied as a 2 × 2 × 3 + 1 factorial treatment...

BACKGROUND Facilities for fattening pigs offer limited possibilities for exploration and wet feeding systems, where the pigs drink the food instead of eating it, have expanded on behalf of dry feeding systems. As little has been made to evaluate liquid feeding from the point of view of the pigs, the aims of this study were to compare behaviour in general and behaviour at feeding in particular o...

proceeds with a discussion of how both popular and medical views of wet-nursing evolved within a context of urbanism, changing family demographics, and the rise of the middle-class during the first half of the nineteenth century. The second section ofA social history ofwet nursing in America explores this curious enterprise in the post-Civil War years. The author devotes considerable effort to ...

conclusions herbal tea of fenugreek seed in comparison to the control group improves the signs of breast milk sufficiency. results before the intervention there was no significant difference between weight, height, head circumference, the number of wet diapers and frequency of defecation between the two groups (p > 0.05), yet the number of breast feeding times of the control group was more than...

Feedlot cattle performance data from 20 trials (n = 350 pen means; representing 3,365 steers) evaluating dietary inclusion of corn wet distillers grains plus solubles (WDGS) were summarized with two meta-analyses. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of WDGS inclusion level with dry-rolled corn (DRC) or a blend of DRC and high-moisture corn (HMC) for either calf-feds or yearl...

The effects of single meals of different sucrose concentrations on feeding responses and survival of 8–24-h-old, 1–2-, 10–12and 31–36-day-old female and male western cherry fruit flies, Rhagoletis indifferens Curran, were determined. Feeding time and food consumption response patterns in both sexes within age groups were curvilinear. Feeding times increased as sucrose concentrations increased, ...

Use of coproducts such as corn and sorghum distillers grain (DG) and corn gluten feed (CGF) in beef cattle finishing diets has increased significantly in recent years, but research to evaluate the efficacy of traditional feeding practices and feed additives when coproducts are fed has not kept pace. Grain processing methods that increase starch availability seem equally effective in traditional...

Results of previous research have demonstrated that shrimp production is similar at protein levels ranging from 20 to 40%, when shrimp are stocked at densities ranging from 5 to 11/m2 (TeichertCoddington and Rodriguez, 1995a). These results indicated that shrimp stocked at semi-intensive levels did not require diets containing high levels of protein. However, some think that food conversion can...

the effect of feeding frequency on growth performance, feed consumption and body biochemical composition of acipenser ruthenus juveniles was investigated. the trial was performed using 150 fish with a mean initial weight of 50±1 g randomly introduced in fifteen tanks. fishes were fed at a feeding frequency of twice daily (t1), three times a day (t2), four times a day (t3), five times a day (t4)...
