A balance trial aimed at determining the energy values of sorghum Distiller's wastes (SDW), Maize cob(MC) and shea butter waste (SBW) for barrows was conducted using a 4 X Latin square cross-over experimental design. While feed intake influenced (P<0.05) by test ingredients, weight gained not significantly affected (P>0.05). Digestibilities dry matter gross (GE) as well metabolizability d...

We first carried out an 8-day balance study with 8 laying hens fed ad libitum a low Ca diet (0.30 p. 100 Ca) and a maximum of 14 g/day/hen of seashells in order to study whether totally separate Ca feeding (SCF) would increase the corrected metabolizable energy (cME) value of the diet and the retention of nitrogen, calcium and phosphorus. These experimental birds (group 2) were compared to 7 co...

a study was conducted to determine the effects of diet formulation on arian broiler breeder performance in their 50 to 64 wks of age. one hundred and sixty eight female and 24 male breeders were employed in 8 treatments of 3 replicates (7 females plus a male) in a completely randomized design (a factorial experience of 2 × 2 × 2). eight experimental diets were formulated based on three factors,...
