This study was aimed to determine protein and crude fiber digestibility by adding propionic acid in rations its effect on production carcass quality broiler chicken. research carried out using 180-day old chicks (DOC) chicken with Cobb strain. method used a completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of three treatments six replications for every treatment. The treatment this consisted of: T0...

Low prececal digestibility of starch leads to a higher starch flux into the hindgut, causing a forced microbial fermentation, energy losses, and meteorism. For exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI), lack of pancreatic amylase can be compensated mostly by hindgut fermentation of starch. Even in pigs with complete loss of pancreatic secretion, starch digestibility over the entire tract is reach...

This research aims to determine the effect of zinc biocomplex and vitamin E supplementation in ration digestibility nutritional content male Kacang goat meat. A completely randomized design with 4 treatments 6 replications was used this research, each replication consisting 1 goat. Furthermore, total number livestock 24 goats a weight range 16.55±1.67 kg. The included DP1 = basal ration, DP2 + ...

Two trials (a 42-d performance and a 21-d cohort digestibility) were conducted to evaluate the performance and nutrient digestibility of broilers fed corn diets supplemented with exogenous xylanase, amylase, and protease as single or combined activities. A nutritionally adequate, positive control (PC) diet was formulated. The negative control (NC) diet was formulated to be lower in metabolizabl...

Sixteen rams (mean age: 13 mo; mean live weight: 40.0 ± 2.4 kg) were randomly allotted to four dietary treatments in a completely randomized design (4 rams per treatment). Diets (dry matter basis) contained 65% concentrate and 35% alfalfa hay (control diet, T1), 35% wheat straw (T2), 35% barley straw (T3) or 35% maize straw (T4). Total-tract apparent digestibility for dry matter, organic matter...

Obesity is a major health problem worldwide; it is associated with more than 30 medical conditions and is a leading cause of unnecessary deaths. Adipose tissue not only acts as an energy store, but also behaves like an endocrine organ, synthesising and secreting numerous hormones and cytokines. Angiotensin II (ANG II) is the biologically active component of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS). T...

Six crossbred steers (315 kg) with cannulas in the rumen, proximal duodenum and distal ileum were used to study the influence of level and source of dietary fat on characteristics of digestion. Dietary treatments consisted of a steam-rolled barley-based finishing diet containing 1) no supplemental fat; 2) 4% yellow grease (YG); 3) 4% blended animal-vegetable fat (BVF); 4)8% YG; 5) 8% BVF or 6) ...

sixteen rams (mean age: 13 mo; mean live weight: 40.0 ± 2.4 kg) were randomly allotted to four dietary treatments in a completely randomized design (4 rams per treatment). diets (dry matter basis) contained 65% concentrate and 35% alfalfa hay (control diet, t1), 35% wheat straw (t2), 35% barley straw (t3) or 35% maize straw (t4). total-tract apparent digestibility for dry matter, organic matter...

One hundred grams fat, based on blends of beef tallow and soya oil (0:100, 20:80, 40:60, 60:40, 80:20 and 100:0) which corresponded to dietary ratios of unsaturated to saturated fatty acids (U:S ratio) of 5.47, 3.23, 2.11, 1.45, 1.00 and 0.69, respectively, was incorporated into a rye-based broiler diet (610 g kgÿ1). All diets were tested without or with supplementation of a xylanase-containing...

Two experiments were conducted to determine the lysine:DE ratio that would maximize nitrogen retention and lean growth in growing pigs. Diets were formulated to contain 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, or 4.0 g of lysine/Mcal of DE at 3.5 and 3.75 Mcal of DE/kg of diet arranged in a 4 x 2 factorial. Experiment 1 used 48, 20-kg crossbred barrows in a nitrogen balance study. Feeding diets containing 3.75 Mcal of D...
