The objectives of this study were to determine the chemical composition and nutritive value of corn protein product 1 (CPP 1), corn protein product 2 (CPP 2), and corn fiber (CF), novel coproducts of the ethanol industry, and compare these feed ingredients with standard plant protein ingredients [soybean meal (SBM), distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS), corn gluten meal (CGlM), and corn...

Angus × Gelbvieh rotationally crossbred yearling heifers (n = 99, yr 1; n = 105, yr 2) were used in a 2-yr randomized complete block design experiment with repeated measures to determine the effect of feeding camelina biodiesel coproducts (meal and crude glycerin) on serum concentrations of triiodothyronine, thyroxine, insulin, β-hydroxybutyrate, and glucose, as well as on growth and reproducti...

the present research was conducted to estimate the dietary lysine (lys) requirement of growing female quail base on performance and carcass constitutes at 24 to 42 d of age. a dose-response diet mainly based on corn, corn gluten and soybean meal was used. lys content was minimized in dose-response diet (10 g/kg) while assuring the minimum levels of all other essential amino acids in a manner th...

the cornell net carbohydrate and protein system (cncps) model has recently been increasingly employed in preparation of balanced feed ration of dairy cattle in iran. however, a lack of appropriate characterization of the feeds has restricted the model's application. this study was conducted to evaluate the protein contents of some feedstuffs (wheat bran, sugar beet pulp, soybean meal, cott...

Thirty wether lambs (52.5 +/- 1.5 kg) were used in a replicated 3 x 5 factorial treatment arrangement and four periods to determine dietary intake and digestibility of three ground forages with increasing levels of supplemental ground corn. Forages were a mature, low-protein grass hay (LQH; 5.2% CP), an immature, medium-protein grass hay (MQH; 10.2% CP), and an immature, high-protein grass hay ...

The effects of age vs. diet, potassium level, tetramethylthiuram disulfide (thiuram), and ionophores in the diet on the development of tibial dyschondroplasia in broilers was investigated. Changing broiler chicks from a diet that induced tibial dyschondroplasia to one that reduced the disease or vice versa caused a change in the incidence in the direction of the last-fed diet; however, in most ...

OBJECTIVE This experiment was conducted to determine the effects of dietary β-mannanase on the additivity of true metabolizable energy (TME) and nitrogen-corrected true metabolizable energy (TMEn) for broiler diets. METHODS A total of 144 21-day-old broilers were randomly allotted to 12 dietary treatments with 6 replicates. Five treatments consisted of 5 ingredients of corn, wheat, soybean me...
