The importance of protein quality for practical rations becomes evident as soon as an attempt is made to economize and to establish for such rations the lowest level of protein that will give efficient production. Woodman & Evans (195 I) demonstrated this point with pigs fed on a simplified barley-fine-bran ration. Supplementation with fish meal at the rate of 4.2% protein gave efficient produc...

Concerns over agriculturally generated atmospheric pollutants necessitate consideration of emission reduction strategies in livestock facility management. Although the association between odors and elevated ammonia (NH3) and dust concentrations remains uncertain with conflicting studies, steps taken to reduce one pollutant may effectively reduce the others as well. Various remedial activities e...

The increasing demand of good quality animal products and limited supply of traditional feed lead to exploration of alternative and sustainable food and feed resources. Microalgae are microscopic or single cell algae, usually found in freshwater and marine systems (Thurman, 1997). Recently, they have gained popularity as a feedstock for biofuel production (Chisti, 2007). After oil extraction, t...

multiple sclerosis (ms) is an autoimmune inflammatory, demyelinating disease of human central nervous system. experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (eae) is the commonly used animal model of ms. calorie restriction has been found to reduce inflammation and autoimmune responses and promote neuroprotection. in this study we evaluated the effects of intermittent feeding protocol of the calorie...

resulted in improved ileal true digestibility (TD) of protein. Petroleum spirit-extracted dehulled soybean (TI 58.4 mg/g DM) was adjusted to 780 g/kg DM and heated alone or with either sodium metabisulphite (11.8 g/kg DM) or cysteine (15 g/kg DM) for 25, 35, 55 or 75 minutes at 95C. Reactive SH, determined by reaction with 4-vinyl pyridine and HPLC separation, was increased by C and S and decre...

Background & Aim: A feeding trial was conducted to investigate the effect of periodically use of garlic on growth ‎performance, and antibody titer to Newcastle and infectious bursal diseases in broiler ‎chickens. Experimental: Ross broiler chicks randomly allocated into the 10 dietary treatments ‎for 6 weeks. A 3 × 4 factorial experiment was used as three periods of feeding (starter, grower an...

The feeding of RMBDs to dogs and cats has received increasing attention in recent years. The American Animal Hospital Association, AVMA, and Canadian Veterinary Medical Association have adopted statements discouraging the inclusion of raw or undercooked animal-source protein in dog and cat diets. The Delta Society’s Pet Partners Program expressed concern that pets in the therapy animal program ...

As a part of the USEPA's concentrated animal feeding operation (CAFO) final rule, all CAFOs are required to develop and implement a nutrient management plan (NMP). The USEPA's emphasis on better management of nutrients appropriately targets a critical environmental issue associated with animal production. The concentration of animals in livestock feeding operations, often separate from feed gra...
