Bacterial cellulose (BC) is an abundant polysaccharide, which secreted by several genera of bacteria. It has remarkable characteristics, include high purity, tensile strength, biocompatibility and non-toxic. The main feature that differentiates BC plant (PC) the absence contaminants such as lignin, hemicellulose pectin. However, drawbacks in producing are low yield expensive carbon source. Due ...

Two trials were conducted to determine the effect of dietary enrichment with arachidonic acid (ARA)-rich triacylglycerols fraction, obtained from the microalga Parietochloris incisa, on the recovery of guppies, Poecilia reticulata, from infection with Tetrahymena sp. Commercial feed (0.7 mg ARA g feed) was directly enriched with the algal hexane lipid extract. Three (12.5, 25.0, 50.0 mg ARA g f...

The effect of feeding dry feed (DF), nonfermented liquid feed (NFLF), and fermented liquid feed (FLF) to growing pigs on aspects of gastrointestinal ecology and on performance was investigated. Nonfermented liquid feed was prepared by mixing feed and water at a ratio of 1:2.5 immediately before feeding. Fermented liquid feed was prepared by mixing feed and water in the same ratio as NFLF, and s...

The objective of this study was to measure the effect of substituting different levels of shrimp meal (SM) for soybean meal (SBM) in broiler diets. In Experiment 1, 0, 10, 20, 30, and 40% of the crude protein contributed by the SBM in broiler diets was substituted by crude protein from SM. In Experiment 2, 0, 60, 80, and 100% of the crude protein contributed by SBM in broiler diets was replaced...

A study was conducted to evaluate the effect of experimental chlorate product (ECP) feed supplementation on Salmonella Typhimurium (ST) in the crop and ceca of market-age broilers. In trial 1, 160 market-age broilers were randomly assigned to 8 treatment groups and replicated twice, with 20 broilers per pen for 1 wk. Trial 2 used the same design, but used 80 market-age broilers with 10 broilers...

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the efficacy of an activated diatomaceous clay (ADC) in reducing the toxic effects of zearalenone (ZEA) in the diet of rats and piglets. In the rat experiment, 90 Sprague-Dawley female weanling rats with an initial BW of 45 ± 1.0 g were assigned to 1 of 6 dietary treatments for 28 d in a completely randomized design (CRD) with a 2 × 3 factorial arrange...
