Twelve individually housed West African Dwarf (WAD) Bucks averaging 7.3 ±0.91kg were used to study the effect of varying levels Bambara nut seed meal on performance and carcass characteristics Bucks. Four experimental diets designated A, B, C D formulated contain 0, 10, 20 3096 (BNM) respectively. The twelve WAD bucks divided into four (4) groups three animals each. Each group was assigned one ...

The study's aim was to assess the robustness of farm-type anaerobic digestion with cattle slurry as main feedstock under change co-feedstock type and quality. Fish biomass, rainbow trout offal, potato, reindeer offal were investigated possible co-feedstocks in a 428-day semi-continuous reactor experiment. Using fish biomass or (19 % VS feed) produced an average 220 305 L CH 4 /kg compared 201 f...

the experiment was to study the effects of replacing soybean meal by rubber seed meal on growth, economics and carcass characteristics of broiler. a total of 150 day-old commercial broiler (cobb-500) was reared for a period of 35 days. there were five treatments including t0 (without rubber seed meal), t1 (10% rubber seed meal), t2 (20% rubber seed meal), and t3 (30% rubber seed meal) and t4 (4...

this experiment was performed to investigate whether feeding xylose-treated soybean meal (xsbm) or corn gluten meal (cgm) is economically better under field conditions. ninety-four multiparous early lactating holstein cows (55±5 days in milk and 2.82±0.41 body condition score) were used in a completely randomized design. cows were randomly assigned to one of two treatments: xsbm or cgm as the m...

INTRODUCTION The type and amount of concentrate included in beef cattle diets can greatly influence production and profitability. Small grains are typically fed in these rations, but the inclusion of by-product feeds, such as wheat middlings (WM), in growing and finishing diets have recently been studied (Dalke et al., 1997; Blasi et al., 1998). Wheat middlings are the by-product of the wheat m...

This study was performed to determine the optimum level of soybean meal diets for two banded sea bream for growth performance, nutrient utilization, body composition and serum biochemistry. Two banded seabream were fed five experimental diets which were formulated replace fish meal by soybean meal at 0, 20, 30, 40 and 50%. Up to 40% of dietary fish meal was successfully replaced with no growth...

The demand for farm-raised channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) has grown tremendously in recent years due to year round availability, consistent quality, and healthy attributes of catfish. In 1993, over 459 million tons of catfish were produced in the United States (Anon., 1994). As this industry has grown, so has the amount of offal, trimmings, and other solid waste generated and the need to...
