The objectives of this experiment were to determine the apparent ileal digestibility and the standardized ileal digestibility (SID) of CP and AA in bakery meal, corn gluten meal, corn gluten feed, corn germ meal, and hominy feed and to compare these values with the apparent ileal digestibility and SID of CP and AA in corn and distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS). Eight growing barrows (...

Nutrient digestibility in distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) is limited by physical constraints such as particle size and by biochemical limitations such as phytate and fiber or nonstarch polysaccharides (NSP). To determine the separate effects of these limitations on nutrient digestibility, ground DDGS (383 µm) supplemented with phytase (0 or 250 units/kg of feed) and xylanase (0 or ...

Fats and oils, a.k.a. lipids, are a chemically diverse group of compounds with the highest energy density among all major macro nutrients. Lipids play an important role in commercial turkey diets both physically and physiologically. From a physical standpoint, lipids are associated with processes related to improvement of live weight gain and feed efficiencies in commercial turkeys. Breeder tur...

This work aimed to study the effect of two different levels of ration energy supplemented with Alpinia officinarum. Rabbits were classified into six equal groups (G1-G6). The 1 and 4 groups received basal ration with 100 % and 90 % energy requirement and served as first and second control respectively. The 2 and the 3 groups received basal ration with 100 % energy requirement supplemented with ...

Many equine nutrient requirements are based on certain assumptions about how well horses digest and absorb nutrients. Unfortunately, a great many questions remain unanswered about nutrient digestibility in horses. How well do horses utilize different sources of nutrients? What nutrients interact with one another to affect digestibility? Over the past five years, Kentucky Equine Research has con...

the purpose of this study was to determine the effect of two levels of four commercial multi-enzymes on the apparent metabolizable energy corrected for nitrogen (amen) and digestibility of crude fat, crude protein, dry matter, and organic matter in broiler chickens through total excreta collection method. one hundred thirty male broiler chicks were assigned to 45 metabolic cages involving 9 tre...

the possibility of manufacturing and effects of a slow release non-protein nitrogen product on ruminant nutrition were evaluated in two separate experiments. in first experiment, making of slow release component was followed by connecting branched carbon chain to the molecule of urea to reduce the degree of solubility. then, the sample product was analyzed to assess its chemical structure, and ...

The concentration of gross energy in distillers dried grain with solubles (DDGS) is greater than in corn. However, because of a lower digestibility of energy in DDGS than in corn, there is no difference in the concentration of digestible and metabolizable energy between DDGS and corn. The apparent and standardized ileal digestibility of amino acids in DDGS does vary among sources but, with the ...

We evaluated the efficacy of supplementation of active Mitsuokella jalaludinii culture (AMJC) on the growth performance, nutrient use, and mineral concentrations in tibia bone and plasma of broiler chickens fed corn-soybean meal diets. Dietary treatments included low-nonphytate P (NPP) feed (containing 0.24% and 0.232% NPP for chicks from 1 to 21 and 22 to 42 d of age, respectively), low-NPP fe...
