to compare the nutritional value of rapeseed meal and cottonseed meal in holstein cows, feeding 20 lactating holstein cows each with an average weight of 580± 34 kg and 100± 10 days in milk were studied in a randomized complete block design. the experimental diets consisted of 4 levels of 0, 8, 14 and 25 percent rapeseed meal replaced with cottonseed meal and barley grain in the diets. diets we...

Three experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of adding salts of formic acid to diets for growing-finishing pigs. In Exp. 1, 72 pigs (23.1 kg and 104.5 kg initial and final BW) were used to evaluate the effect of Ca/Na-formate and K-diformate on performance and carcass traits. Treatments were organized in a 2 x 3 factorial arrangement with two feeding regimens (limit and semi-ad libit...

Ameliorative potential of antioxidants –vitamins C and E on blood profile of Clarias gariepinus fed diets contaminated with varied levels of fumonisin B1 (FB1) was evaluated. Fusarium cultured maize containing FB1 were used to formulate diets containing approximately 2.5, 5.0, and 7.5 mg FB1/kg constituting diets 2, 3, and 4, respectively and other nine diets constituting Diets 5 - 13 with the ...

Crossbred ewe lambs initially weighing approximately 90 lb (41 kg) were fed rations varying in roughage level prior to breeding to examine the influence of level of dietary energy upon subsequent reproductive performance when bred as lambs. In the two trials conducted over a 2-year period 200 spring-born Iambs were placed in four lots of 25 lambs each year and received rations containing 12% cr...

the digestibility and fermentation parameters of the diets containing leaf, pod and seed of the subabul tree in sheep was determined by using two steps digestion and gas production (gp) methods. the experimental diets consisted of 0.0 (control), 25, 50, 75 and 100 percent of the leaf, pod and seed of the subabul tree that were replaced with alfalfa in diets of sheep. diets containing 50 percent...
