Aim: The objective of the present study is to know the effect of feeding processed sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolour (L) moench) crushed residue (SSCR) based complete ration on growth, feeding behavior and cost of gain in Murrah buffalo calves in order to compare the feeding value of SSCR with sorghum straw (SS) and also find out the efficient way of utilization of SSCR in the diets of growing bu...

In a series of three experiments, we tested the effects of short-term food variability on the larval development of Petrolisthes cabrilloi. We first reared seven sibling clutches of zoeae at 19°C in ten constant food rations (ranging 2-40 Artemia nauplii d) to determine maximal and minimal values for age and size at metamorphosis to the megalops stage. Mean age at metamorphosis ranged between 1...

Abstrak. Hijauan merupakan pakan utama bagi ternak ruminansia, tetapi ketersediaan hijauan semakin berkurang. Limbah serai wangi limbah perkebunan yang mudah didapatkan serta efisiensi penggunaannya sebagai dapat ditingkatkan melalui proses amoniasi. Bungkil inti sawit menyumbang protein dalam ransum ruminansia sehingga dijadikan pengganti hijauan. Rancangan digunakan adalah rancangan bujur san...

vitro digestibility tended to be greater with ammoniation. In the second trial, very high levels of ammonia, urea or glucose were added. Levels of insoluble protein were much higher in this trial than the other. This reflects the high variability of corn silage. Recovery of nitrogen added as ammonia averaged 82 percent while all of the nitrogen added as urea was recovered. The amounts of insolu...

The aim of the present study was to establish influence organic selenium and a yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, in combination on animal performance, physiological status, milk production blood metabolites indigenous crossbred dairy cows during hot-humid climatic conditions tropics. A total 18 were divided into two groups(control treatment) containing 9 each based parity yield for period 45 day...

An in vitro study was conducted to evaluate the optimum roughage to concentrate ratio in complete rations using sorghum stover (SS) as a roughage source since it is a main feed resource for urban and peri-urban dairies. Eight complete rations were prepared with roughage (R) to concentrate (C) ratio of 100R:0C to 30R:70C. In vitro gas production (ml) at 24 h incubation, in vitro organic matter d...

Contemporary sport requires a lot of effort from sportsmen, frequently exceeding their maximum physical and mental efficiency. Athletes often report poor dietary habits and reach for magnesium and vitamin B supplements to avoid dietary deficiencies. The aim of this study was to determine magnesium and vitamin B6 content in daily food rations of Polish athletes and to verify the justification of...

Abstract Muscovy duck in Indonesia has good potential to be developed as a meat producer, but currently its production and performance are still relatively low. additional feed is needed increase it, such cellulase enzymes, L-carnitine, lemuru fish oil. where this combination, enzymes can nutrient digestibility, oil which rich unsaturated fatty acids L-carnitine metabolic facilitator oxidize lo...

Fat which has been synthesized by rats from carbohydrates is characterized by the presence of large amounts of Cl6 fatty acids (1). In such synthetic depot fat, the total (716 acids constitute 40 to 45 per cent of the total mixed acids. The value for the Cl6 acids is approximately 25 per cent when fat is present in the animal’s diet and is being deposited directly. A particularly striking incre...
