The influence of indigenous starter cultures on the free fatty acids content during ripening of »salsiccia«, a typical dry fermented sausage produced in the Basilicata region, was studied. Three batches of »salsiccia« were produced using different starter mixtures (Lactobacillus sakei G20 and Staphylococcus xylosus S81; L. sakei G20 and S. xylosus S142; L. sakei G20 and S. xylosus S206), while ...

an experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of replacing dietary limestone with mashhad power plant calcium-waste in combination with available phosphorus level on growth performance, tibial strength and blood alkaline phosphatase activity in broiler chickens. three hundred and eighty four male broiler chickens were used in a complete randomized design experiment with a 4×2 factorial arr...

Cocoa beans fermentation is an important step in the post-harvest processing of cocoa beans. This complex mix culture fermentation produces metabolic products that serve as the precursors for the flavor development process. Modification in the dynamics of microbial population during the fermentation may alter the overall microbial activity and thus may impact the fermentation process. Addition ...

The effect of energy and protein dilution in the starter period (8 to 14 days) of age, on performance and carcass characteristics of 360 Arian male chicks was studied in a completely randomised design. This experiment consisted of 6 treatments, 4 replicates, with 15 chicks per replicate. In order to dilute the diets six levels (0, 4, 8, 12, 16, and 20) percent of ground wood charcoal was used. ...

Growth performance of commercial brown layer chicks (Shaver 579; n = 408) was studied in an open-sided house by feeding layer starter and layer grower diets during 0-17 weeks of age. The experimental period was divided into three phases: Phase I (0-4 weeks), Phase II (5-7 weeks) and Phase III (8-17 weeks). Both growth and feed consumption closely followed the standard data except during 10, 11,...

Dozier, III, A. J. Davis, and M. E. Freeman, University of Georgia. According to a popular benchmark reporting service, a diverse array of metabolizable energy values is being used in formulating di...

Background: Probiotics and medicinal plants have been used to support human livestock health. This research aimed evaluate the efficacy of Moringa oleifera Lam. leaf extract on growth P. pentosaceus, L.acidophilus and L. plantarum during starter period nutrient intake,...

Two strains of Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis were used to determine the influence of lactose and arginine on viability and amino acid use during carbohydrate starvation. Lactose provided energy for logarithmic-phase growth, and amino acids such as arginine provided energy after carbohydrate exhaustion. Survival time, cell numbers, and ATP concentrations increased with the addition of arginin...

Two trials were conducted to study the effect of inclusion of hull-less barley and exogenous enzyme to broiler diet on the growth performance, apparent metabolisable energy (AME) and Nutrient digestibility of broiler chickens. The experiments were 3×4 factorial arrangements with three levels of enzyme (0, 300 and 600 g/ton) and four levels of hull-less barley inclusion (0, 10, 20 and 30%) in di...
