An experiment was conducted to compare different dietary vegetable sources of starch and protein on the coefficient of apparent total tract digestibility (CATTD) of energy and nutrients and performance of piglets from 29 to 60 d of age. The experiment was completely randomized with 6 treatments arranged factorially with 3 sources of starch (cooked-flaked corn, cooked-flaked rice, and pea starch...

A study was conducted to determine voluntary nutrient intake, its digestibility and optimum fiber requirements in dry Nili Ravi buffaloes kept at Buffalo Research Institute (BRI), Pattoki district Kasur Punjab province Pakistan for a period of 60 days. The buffaloes (n=25) were selected from amongst the existing herd and randomly divided into five groups. These animals were fed isonitrogenous a...

Two experiments were conducted to study the effect of rapeseed cake and xylanase application on the digestibility and deposition of nutrients and energy in young broiler chickens. Experiment 1 was carried out on broiler chickens between the ages of 1 to 21 days, which were divided into three groups. The control diet contained soybean meal, whereas in the experimental diets a part of the soybean...

Abstract The study objective was to evaluate the effect of single and/or extra doses vitamin C (VC) on water-restricted (WR) Xhosa goats, by evaluating their intake, digestibility, nitrogen, and mineral balance during summer. Goats (42) were randomly divided into seven groups: GI (control, received ad libitum water daily), GII (WR-70% lib. ), GIII (WR-50% GIV + VC [3 g/day orally]), GV GVI oral...

Several studies have reported data on comparisons between two methods: the total collection of feces and the internal markers method. The aim of this study was to assess the apparent digestibility of two concentrates and to compare the apparent digestion coefficients using the total collection of feces and acid-insoluble ash (AIA) as the internal marker method. In 2009, six adult geldings aged ...

Fibre can interfere with digestibility of fat by accelerating intestinal passage or increasing chyme viscosity. Lecithin is an important emulsifier which improve digestion. The study aims to determine if fibre solubility may apparent true total tract (ATTD; TTTD) macronutrients and energy adding lecithin could digestibility. Stool quality was evaluated regarding inclusion. Eighteen adult dogs f...

A total of 600 Ross 308-day-old male broiler chicks were used in a 28 day digestibility study to investigate the interaction between dietary calcium (Ca) and non-phytate phosphorus (nPP) on the digestibility of minerals and amino acids. Diets were formulated to be nutritionally adequate except for Ca and nPP. Fifteen mash diets based on corn and soya bean meal with varying concentrations of Ca ...

Methane is one of the main greenhouse gases emitted by ruminants around world. It essential to investigate novel approaches increasing animal production while reducing gas emissions from ruminants. This study was conducted examine effect methane inhibitors, such as nitrate, linseed oil, and anthraquinone, on nutritional digestibility, rumen fermentation processes, emission in Sahiwal Gir cattle...

Using ileal digestible amino acids in feed optimising will intensify feed protein utilizing and decrease nitrogen excretion to the environment. The study determined the apparent ileal digestibility (AID) coefficients of amino acids in barley, wheat, oats, triticale, maize, and dehulled oats in the diets of 180 Ross broiler chickens (aged 24–35 days). The birds were fed semi-purified diets that ...

ABSTRACT Essential oils (EO) such as carvacrol represent a wide range of mainly volatile aromatic plant compounds which hold antioxidant, antibacterial and antifungal potential, in addition to other properties interest animal health, the ability modulate microbiome. Current horse care commonly involves an intensive management system with excessive use concentrated feed, can lead severe digestiv...
