Ž . The replacement of fish meal protein with soybean meal SB or protein concentrates made Ž . Ž . from narrow-leafed lupin LP or field peas PP was investigated in extruded feeds for Atlantic Ž . salmon. Salmon 47 g were fed for 63 days on extruded feeds containing each of the plant meals to replace 25% and 33% of the fish meal protein and performance compared against a nutritionally Ž . balanc...

The effect of feed supplemented with L-camitine at four levels of 0, 300, 600 and 900mg kg-1 on growth performance and body composition of beluga, H. huso, juveniles was evaluate din two separate trials. In the first trial, 180 juveniles (525±9gw) were fed with the test diet for a period of 71 days, and the trial extended to another 126 days in the second phase by randomly selecting 120 juvenil...

Seventy-two Yorkshire boar pigs were used to study growth rate and feed efficiency in pigs weaned at 3 weeks of age and fed either casein or soy-protein as a source of supplemental protein in corn based diets. Treatments consisted of a corn-casein diet, a corn-isolated soy protein diet, a corn-ethanol extracted soy protein diet and a corn soybean meal diet. Feed intake was not affected by sourc...

It is both possible and practicable to produce feed and fuel from grain. Using the value of grain to produce renewable energy for transport, while using the remaining protein content of the grain as a valuable protein source for livestock and for fish, can be seen as a complimentary and optimal use of all the grain constituents. Consideration must be given to maximise the value of the yeast com...

The aim of the present study was to investigate the chemical and biological properties of local cowpea seed protein cultivated in Gizan region. The results showed that the cowpea and its products contain high level of protein (22.9-77.6%), high carbohydrates (9.4-64.3%) and low fats (0.1-0.3%). The trypsin and chymotrypsin activities were found to be 32.2 and 15.2 units, respectively. These act...

in order to study the effects of various levels of protein in diet based on total and digestible amino acids on performance and carcass traits of broilers, an experiment was conducted as a completely randomized design with 288 broiler chicks from cobb 500 strain in 6 treatments, each treatment consist of 3 replicates with 16 chicks per replicate. treatments were the diets as follow: 1) diet for...

A study was conducted to determine the effects of dietary vitamin C on growth performance, feed utilization and carcass biochemical composition of Barbus sharpeyi fingerling. Five diets containing (0, 500, 1000, 1500 and 2000 mg kg-1) of ascorbic acid were fed to benni fingerlings (6.96±0.3 g) in triplicate tanks and twice daily for a period of 56 days. The weight gain significantly increase...

The aim of this research was to develop reliable, easy-to-perform and cheap method for measuring protein oxidation in complex samples such as aquaculture feed within various sources. For that purpose modified 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazyne (DNPH)-based quantification carbonyls employed, while the modification consisted using different solutions extraction, time extraction concentration trichloracet...
