High-fiber content of distillers dried grains with soluble (DDGS) is partially responsible for its low ME, which may be increased with dietary inclusion of non-starch polysaccharidase (NSPase). Broiler chicks (7-d-old, 6 chicks/pen, 6–7 pens/diet) were randomly allotted to 4 treatments with free access to feed and water. Corn and DDGS (20%) diets were supplemented or not with a proprietary mixt...

this research project was conducted to evaluate bioavailability and chemical properties of different zinc sources in broiler chickens when fed by practical diets. for that, 312 day-old male ross 308 broiler chicks were fed from 8-28 day to estimate the biological availability of four zinc sources. chicks were allocated randomly to 13 experimental diets in a 3 × 4 factorial design. diets include...

Effects of using ground redberry juniper and dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) in Rambouillet lamb (n = 45) feedlot diets on growth, blood serum, fecal, and wool characteristics were evaluated. In a randomized design study with 2 feeding periods (Period 1 = 64% concentrate diet, 35 d; Period 2 = 85% concentrate diet, 56 d), lambs were individually fed 5 isonitrogenous diets: a contro...

background: the brown-banded cockroach, supella longipalpa , is not as common as the german cockroach in iran. this species seeks out areas that are very warm most of the time, and prefer warmer area than what german cock­roaches pre­fer. there is relationship between development of instars and diet of cockroaches. the aim of this study was to determine the effect of different diets on biology,...

the effects of phytase and glycosidase supplementation to diets containing rice bran on broiler performance were investigated by using 200 day old (308 ross) broiler chicks in a completely randomized design with five treatments and four replicates. the five dietary treatments were as: corn-soybean meal based diet; diet containing rice bran; diet containing rice bran supplemented with natafous; ...
