Intensive fish production systems are characterized by 100% artificial feeding, so any dietary imbalances or deficiencies may lead to diseases outbreaks and economic losses. This study was set out to determine the effects of increasing levels of dietary vitamin E on growth and hematology of juvenile pacu. Fishes were fed for 90 days, twice a day until apparent satiation with semi-purified diets...

this study was conducted to evaluate the effects of inclusion of monensin alone or in combination with methafix (a commercial product containing malate and fumarate) in the diets of lactating dairy cows on ruminal parameters and serum metabolites. four multiparous holstein lactating dairy cows (657± 12 kg of live weight; 133 ± 41days in milk) were assigned to one of the four dietary treatments....

1. Pullets were given from 1-d-old diets containing 1-6, 4-1, 8-1 and 12-0 g Mg/kg. Only small effects of these diets on live weight, food consumption, egg number, egg weights or egg-shell thickness were observed except at the highest level (12-0 Mg/kg) which caused diarrhoea and an appreciable lowering of the live weight of growing pullets. A further group was given from point-of-lay a diet co...

Six experiments involving 706 newly weaned 28- to 32-d-old pigs were conducted to evaluate the efficacy of copper (Cu) sulfate (to provide 250 mg/kg Cu), antibiotic-sulfa combinations [chlortetracycline, 110 mg/kg + penicillin, 55 mg/kg + sulfamethazine, 110 mg/kg; i.e., Aureo-Sulfa-Penicillin (ASP) or tylosin, 110 mg/kg + sulfamethazine, 110 mg/kg; i.e., Tylosin-Sulfa (TS)] and anhydrous citri...

In vitro honeybee rearing technique was simplified and sophisticated by monitoring the amount of food given to each larva. Honeybees (Apis mellifera L) were reared in individual queen cell cups by feeding them 100 mg, 150 mg, 200 mg, 250 mg and 300 mg basic larval diet. The survival rates were lower in 300 mg food (12.7%) due to drowning of larvae at the later larval stages and at the 100 mg fo...

Young female rats were made riboflavin-deficient by feeding a purified diet containing casein (210 g/kg). This basal diet provided 0.40 mg riboflavin/kg diet, to which was added additional riboflavin at 0, 0.12 or 0.25 mg/kg diet. Control animals received the same diet with 15 mg added riboflavin/kg. The diets were given for 4 weeks before mating, then throughout pregnancy and for 15 d of lacta...
