Reducing the CP content and increasing the fermentable carbohydrates (FC) content of the diet may counteract the negative effects of protein fermentation in newly weaned piglets fed high-CP diets. To study the synergistic effects of CP and FC on gut health and its consequences for growth performance, 272 newly weaned piglets (26 d of age, 8.7 kg of BW) were allotted to 1 of 4 dietary treatments...

In this study the enrichment dietary effect with different crude protein levels (CP) and feed additives on growth, survival, conversion ratio (FCR), consumption (FC) total hemocyte count (THC) in juvenile white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei were evaluated. The covered two bioassays: first one, juveniles daily fed for 45 days four experimental diets containing: (1) Control, commercial (35% CP); (2...

Ž . Apparent digestibility coefficients ADCs of macronutrients and energy, and apparent absorpŽ . tion coefficients AACs of amino acids and elements were assessed in an experiment with 0.9 kg Atlantic salmon reared in saltwater tanks. Duplicate groups of fish were fed five diets, where 0, Ž . Ž . 6.25, 12.5, 25 and 50% of crude protein CP from fish meal FM was replaced with CP from Ž . wheat gl...

A digestibility study was conducted to evaluate the effects of supplementing mulberry foliage and urea rice-bran as a source of fermentable energy and protein to 12 sheep fed diets based on urea-treated rice straw (TRS). The three dietary treatments were: T1, TRS with mulberry; T2, TRS with 50% mulberry replaced with rice bran and urea; and T3, TRS with rice bran and urea. The study was arrange...

Objective: An experiment was conducted to study the effect of feeding of different levels of dietary crude protein (17.5, 16.5 and 15.5%) with varying levels of lysine (0.77, 0.73 and 0.68%) and methionine (0.36, 0.34 and 0.32%) on performance of white leghorn layers from 34-53 weeks of age. Methodology: Each diet was fed ad libitum to 12 replicates consisting of 88 birds in each replicate. Egg...

To reduce the impact of animal production on the environment, the CP content of the diet can be reduced by limiting the excess supply of AA. Improving the balance between AA relative to the requirement of the animal implies that we need to have accurate knowledge of the requirement of individual AA. The purpose of this study was to determine the Val requirement in postweaned piglets (12 to 25 k...

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of dietary protein levels on pullet development and egg production performance of local hens. One hundred sixty local chicken pullets were used in this study. During the rearing period, the pullets were divided randomly at a density of 16 chicks per cage in rearing pens. During week 1, all birds were fed a starter diet containing 19% cru...
