in order to investigate the effect of partial replacement of barley starch with beet pulp soluble fiber with or without roasted canola seed on apparent nutrient digestibility, dry matter intake, daily weight gain, feed conversion ratio and rumenal ph 24 arabian male lambs were used for 84 days in a completely randomized design with a 2×2 factorial arrangement. treatments had no significant effe...

The role of cholecystokinin (CCK) in modulating feed intake depression in parasite-infected lambs was investigated using CCK receptor antagonists (L364-718 and loxiglumide). Four experiments were carried out using ewe lambs infected with 4000 Trichostrongylus colubriformis larvae/d or non-infected controls (n8, live weight 25 kg). Animals were fed daily on a nutritionally complete pelleted diet...

in this study, we determined the effects of replacing different levels of alfalfa with pistachio hull (ph) on feed intake, digestibility of nutrients, rumen fermentative parameters, blood metabolites and nitrogen metabolism in balochi male lambs. three male lambs (35±2 kg live weight) equipped with ruminal and abomasual cannulas were randomly assigned into a 3 × 3 latin square design. experimen...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of different levels of dried lemon pulp (dlp) on performance, carcass traits, blood biochemical and immunity parameters of broilers. in this experiment 240 of broilers (ross-308) were used in a completely randomized design with 4 treatments and 3 replicates (with 20 birds in each replicate) from 1 to 42 days. experimental diets included: 1) ...

in this study, the effects of culban seed (vicia peregrine l.) on live body weight, feed intake, feed efficiency, egg production, egg quality characteristics, egg yolk fatty acid profiles and yolk cholesterol content in laying hens were investigated. the experiment consists of seven treatment groups with ten replications containing one laying hen in each and for 32 weeks old seventy laying hen ...

Leptin has been implicated in the regulation of feed intake, growth, and reproduction. The objective of this study was to determine if centrally administered leptin would affect feed intake and the secretion of growth hormone (GH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) in ewe lambs. Eighteen ewe lambs were ovariectomized and fitted with intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) cannulae. Lambs were randomly assig...

Thirty-two crossbred (Suffolk x Rambouillet) wether lambs were used to examine the effectiveness of protein source (soybean meal [SBM] or fish meal [FM]) in alleviating decreased performance associated with dietary aflatoxin (AF) in growing lambs. After a 21-d adaptation period to concentrate diets, lambs were assigned to the following dietary treatments: 1) SBM, 0 mg of AF; 2) FM, 0 mg of AF; ...

in this study the effect of diet dilution in 16-20 d of age and using a multi-enzyme (endofeed-w) on performance, carcass characteristics and some blood parameters of broiler chickens (cobb 500, commercial strain) was studied. this experiment was conducted as a factorial arrangement 2×3 in a completely randomized design with 3 replicates and 8 chicks in each replicate. experimental diets contai...
