Food waste from fish and fruit shops was used as an alternative to the grain in grower-finisher pig diets. Two diets were formulated on an iso-nutrient basis (14 MJ digestible energy per kg, 160 g crude protein per kg on a dry-matter basis) to contain 0 g of food waste per kg in the control diet and 50 g of fish-shop waste per kg and 120 g of fruit-shop waste per kg in the experimental diet. In...

Three levels of lysine (90, 100 and 110% of Ross requirement) and of pyridoxine (3, 6 and 9 mg kg-1) were used in a 3 × 3 factorial experiment to investigate the growth and blood antioxidant ability of broilers under high ambient temperature. None of the dietary supplements affected the weight gain during the starter and grower periods. Although no significant differences were detect...

The aim of this study was to compare the effects of three antibiotic alternatives with a control (Antibiotic-free) and an antibiotic diet on performance and gut morphology of broilers reared on litter. 600 day-old ROSS-308 chicks were assigned to 48 pens in a CRD design with 6 × 2 factorial arrangements, in which 2 levels of chick density (5 and 7.5 chicks/m2) and 6 experimental diets (control,...

this experiment was conducted to study the effects of two kinds of sodium and calcium bentonite (nab and cab) on performance, blood biochemical parameters, carcass characteristics and tibia ash of broiler chickens. two hundred and sixty day old broilers of male ross 308 strain were allocated to 5 treatments with four replicatates and 13 broilers in each. the experiment was carried out in a comp...

three hundred and sixty male day- old ross 308 broiler chicks were randomly assigned to four dietary treatments in order to evaluate the effect of propolis as growth promoter on the performance and the immune response of the broiler chicks to the nd vaccine. each treatment contained three replicates of 30 chicks. dietary treatments were as follow: a corn - soy meal diet (control diet).control d...

Massive amounts of pig manure are produced by intensive pig farm in China, and the composition of pig manure has changed much due to the use of feed additives. However, little is known about the exact Cu (copper) feed as additives or present as contaminants in pig feed and the residues in feces. One hundred and thirty-seven feeds and one hundred and forty-two fecal samples from 48 pig farms wer...

1. Studies on the sensory profiling of male broiler breast meat were carried out to evaluate the effect of two very different broiler breeds (JA757 and New Hampshire), two different feed types (broiler and grower feed) and age at slaughter (82 and 110 d). 2. The sensory profiling consisted of a pilot study, 4 training sessions, and finally the assessment. During the training session a panel of ...

two experiments were conducted to determine threonine (thr) requirements of two commercial strains, ross 308 and cobb 500, based on standardized ileal digestibility from 15 to 28d of age. basal diet consisted of wheat, triticale, and corn gluten meal was formulated according to quick chick (2006) to be adequate in all nutrients except for thr. incremental levels of supplemental thr were added t...
