the current study was conducted to survey the influences of addition of alfalfa meal (am), rice bran (rb) and wood shaving (ws) in wheat-based diets [contain soluble non starch polysaccharides (nsp)] on performance carcass characteristic and serum lipids of broilers from 11 to 42 d of age. seven hundreds 10-d-old male ross 308 chicks were placed into 35 pens and allocated to seven wheat-soybean...

this experiment was conducted in order to determine the effects of different dietary growth promoters on growth performance and nutrient digestibility in male broiler chickens. a total of 360 male broiler chicks (day-old ross 308 strain) were distributed into a completely randomized design (crd) having 6 dietary treatments with four replicates and 15 birds in each replicate. experimental treatm...

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of dietary chromium-methionine (Cr-Met) supplementation on growth performance, feeding behavior and physiological responses of Holstein male calves during two different phases of body weight (BW). Twenty six (153.5±9.83 kg of BW) male calves were divided in two groups (n=13) and randomly assigned to treatments: 1) control and 2) Cr-Met (1.1 mg ...

proper feeding is necessary to have appropriate growth, health and also to increase resistance to inappropriate condition such as stressors and diseases. therefore mineral and vitamin supplements are added to fish diet to improve its growth and health. food supplements have different roles in diet. these cause better food metabolism, higher hardness and strength of bones, better ionic exchanges...

background: a high-fat diet (hfd) and fat accumulation promote the oxidative stress formation, which in turn has hazardous effects on reproductive system and fertility. therefore, the present study examines the potential positive effects of a restricted high-fat diet (rhfd) and antioxidants consumption on sperm parameters in rats. methods: 48 male albino wistar rats divided to four groups (n=12...

the aim followed in the present study was to investigate the effects of different metabolizable protein (mp) levels on holstein cows, milk yield and composition, and as well on concentration of plasma metabolites in the cow,s early lactation. twenty - four holstein cows(bw 580±23, dim 30±7, parity 2.4±0.5) were randomly assigned to each one of the 4 dietary treatments containing 1) 10.60% (diet...

background: mixed cereals and legumes products enhance protein quality. this study has been conducted to compare the protein value of two homemade foods (a mixture of beans and rice and a mixture of vetch and rice) with a commercial baby food (wheat- based cerelac) in rats. methods: an experimental study has been conducted on 80 male rats, which divided into 8 subgroups. five different diets in...

Three different varieties of cottonseed meal (CSM) were evaluated to measure the apparent digestibility coefficient (ADC) of the nutrients using chromic oxide (Cr2O3) as an indigestible marker. Five experimental diets were prepared and mixed with 1% of Cr2O3, 2% of mineral and vitamin each of which were premixed. Diet 1 was used as the control diet. Diets 2, 3, 4 and 5 were formulated using 70...
