The use of fermented liquid feeds in monogastric animal nutrition is regarded as one of the biosafe methods of animal production. This paper examines bacterial fermentation of feed substrates for production of fermented liquid feeds for pigs and moist feeds for poultry. Emphasis is placed on the interplay of factors affecting feed fermentation and their relationship to feed quality. The resista...

Effective responses to emergency situations require accessing both information that is known ahead of time and information from emergent sources. Whereas emergency providers have succeeded in formalizing acquisition and distribution of information from pre-existing sources, emergent and unconventional sources remain a challenge, especially in the context of rapid system-of-systems integration. ...

olarizing cells must first pick a direction. The external cues that guide this choice are obvious: bud scars or mating partners for budding yeast, and chemoattractant gradients for Dictyostelium and neutrophils. But polarization still occurs, albeit in a random direction, when these cues are either removed or made uniform. Now, Roland Wedlich-Soldner, Rong Li (Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA...

The expansion of the World Wide Web has led to a chaotic state where the users of the internet have to face and overcome the major problem of discovering information. For the solution of this problem, many mechanisms were created based on crawlers who are browsing the www and downloading pages. In this paper we describe “advaRSS” crawling mechanism which intends to be the base utility for syste...

The aim of this work was to evaluate the effects on growth performance, intermediary metabolism and welfare inclusion two commercial microalgae-based ingredients called LB-ChromaBream (LB-CB) LB-ChromaBream-plus (LB-CBplus) in diet gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) close size. For purpose, fish ~182 g initial body mass were fed satiety (ad libitum) for 41 days with three different diets: (i) CO...

The Experiments were carried out during the period of July 2001 to December 2002. Infestation of poultry feeds by fungi and aflatoxins content in feeds were determined. Ten feed samples were collected from ten different farms located in three different areas of Bangladesh. Five different fungal species belonging four genera were detected which were Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger, Fusariu...

A 3-yr study was conducted in North Sumatra, Indonesia, as part of an evaluation of the feasibility of integrating sheep and rubber production. The objective was to evaluate the effects of increasing energy supplementation on reproduction and other performance criteria of Javanese Thin-Tail sheep grazing volunteer forages under 8- and 14-yr-old rubber trees. The control group was unsupplemented...

 Minerals are vital for life. Most minerals have more than one function in the body and contribute to the body's structure, cellular processes, and the immune system.  The vast majority of the 25 minerals required are provided by the diet.  Of the 7 macro minerals (i.e. required in large amounts) required, only 2 are deficient when the majority of the diet is pasture (magnesium and calcium)....

In this study, 183 livestock feeds and 85 animal manure samples were collected from commercial farms in England and Wales and analysed to determine their heavy metal (zinc, copper, nickel, lead, cadmium, arsenic, chromium and mercury) contents. Zinc and copper concentrations ranged from 150±2920 mg Zn/kg dm (dry matter) and 18±217 mg Cu/kg dm in pig feeds, depending on the age of the pigs. In p...
