Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of a novel synthetic emulsifier product (AVI-MUL TOP) on the growth performance of chickens for fattening and weaned piglets. The emulsifier product consists of 50% vegetal bi-distillated oleic acid emulsified with 50% glyceryl polyethyleneglycol ricinoleate. In experiment 1, 480 1-day-old female Cobb500 chickens for fattening were assigned...

The beef cattle breeding development is one of the strategic directions for livestock in Russia and CIS countries, including Republic Belarus. fattening most important point minimizing costs.

this research was conducted to study the performance of barley green fodder (bgf) yield in hydroponic system fed to fattening lambs. in a 16 week experiment, barley grain was grown in hydroponic system, during 5 and 7 days growing periods and the green fodder was included in the diet of fattening lambs, within two different feeding trials. the first trial was aimed to compare the bgf with barle...

Carcase and meat quality of young bulls raised on one of three fattening strategies from 224 to 450 kg were compared. One group was fed concentrates (CON), another group grazed on lucerne plus 1.8 kg DM barley/day (LUC) and the last group had the same management as LUC young bulls for 3 months and was then finished on concentrates for 2 months. Among carcase traits, only tissue composition diff...

Regarding the fattening of younger cattle that the Ministry of Agriculture Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) recommends in Japan, this study looked at vitamin A control in feed and blood and its effect on performance of production and carcass composition of Wagyu steers. Five sets from 10 Wagyu artificial identical twins were divided to into 2 groups, a restricted group (Test) and a supplied group ...

The aim of this study was to compare the environmental impact of the straw-flow system for fattening pigs with the slatted-floor system by measuring pollutant gas emissions such as ammonia (NH3), nitrous oxide (N2O), methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2), manure nitrogen (N) content and emissions of water vapour (H2O). Three successive batches of 32 pigs were fattened. For each batch, pigs wer...
