I. Eighty-seven rats were fed a diet of milk treated with hydrogen sulphide together with copper-free mineral and vitamin supplements. Forty-three of the eighty-seven rats were used as controls and given Cu supplements varying from 50 to 500 pguglweek. In addition to the eighty-seven rats, twenty-eight rats were fed a commercial diet. 2. Rats which did not receive Cu supplements developed signs...

Aquaculture struggles with sustainability due to the use of fishmeal, and insects are one potential alternative. Insects have low long-chain omega−3 polyunsaturated fatty acid content, insect-fed fish reflect this in their composition. In total, 500 rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss, ~46 g) were fed until reached a commercial size (~415 g). Five diets used: control based on fishmeal as main so...

We studied the effects of L-carnitine on growth performance, carcass composition, and lipid metabolism in male broilers. Six hundred male commercial broilers were allotted to five groups, each of which included three replicates (40 birds per replicate). The groups received the same basal diet supplemented with 0, 25, 50, 75, or 100 mg/kg L-carnitine, respectively. The feeding trial showed that ...

Good nutrition in animal production systems is essential to economically produce a healthy, high quality product. In fish farming, nutrition is critical because feed represents 40-50% of the production costs. Fish nutrition has advanced dramatically in recent years with the development of new, balanced commercial diets that promote optimal fish growth and health. The development of new species-...

this study investigated the effect of rumex sc (commercial product which includes of saccharomyces cervisiae, saponin and essential oils) on rumen fermentation, blood glucose, urea, milk yield and milk composition. animals were offered a basal diet containing alfalfa hay (15.5%), corn silage (24%), beet pulp (7%) and concentrate (53.5%). additionally, rumex sc was included in the experimental d...

Rabbits fed a low fat, cholesterol-free, semipurified diet containing casein became hypercholesterolemic (congruent to 300 mg/dl) after 5 weeks on diet. Rabbits on a similar diet containing soy protein isolate had low plasma cholesterols comparable to those on commercial feed (40--60 mg/dl). Cholesterol turnover, which conformed to a two-pool model, were determined by analysis of the decay of p...

In this study, control chevon (goat meat) and omega-3 fatty acid enriched chevon were obtained from goats fed a 50% oil palm frond diet and commercial goat concentrate for 100 days, respectively. Goats fed the 50% oil palm frond diet contained high amounts of α-linolenic acid (ALA) in their meat compared to goats fed the control diet. The chevon was then used to prepare two types of pellets (co...
