Six isonitrogenous, isocaloric diets containing commercially defatted, toasted and lightly toasted soy flours (SF) (diets 1 and 2) and four soy protein concentrates (SPC) (diets 3-6) as replacements for 40% of animal protein were fed to satiation to juvenile shrimp (Penaeus vannamei) for 10 weeks. The SPCs used in diets 3 and 5 were chemically modified products with reduced trypsin inhibitor (T...

The objective of this research was to determine the effect different starters consisted dried whey and soy proteins with low anti-nutritive factors (ANFs) + amino acids (lysine methionine) on body measurements, biochemical parameters, feed consumption early-weaned female Holstein calves. Based starter, calves were divided into four groups: i) control (control starter), ii) E1 (starter added dry...

2) sows receiving 1 g/kg of MOS during lactation, and dietary treatment: 1) basal diet (control), and 2) basal diet with MOS at 2 g/kg in prestarter and 1 g/kg in starter diets. The experimental design was applied in both the prestarter (28 to 44 d of age) and the starter (44 to 60 d of age) periods. Nutritive value of the diets was 2.5 Mcal NE/kg and 14.8 g/kg lysine for prestarter, and 2.5 Mc...

Two experiments were conducted to determine the efficacy of mannan oligosaccharides (MOS) fed at two levels of Cu on growth and feed efficiency of weanling and growing-finishing pigs, as well as the effect on the immunocompetence of weanling pigs. In Exp. 1, 216 barrows (6 kg of BW and 18 d of age) were penned in groups of six (9 pens/treatment). Dietary treatments were arranged as a 2 x 2 fact...

Day-old male broiler chicks were randomly assigned to 32 floor pens in a completely randomized block design and grown to 6 wk of age. Birds in experiment 1 were fed 1 of 2 basal diets supplemented with or without a protease containing feed additive, Versazyme (VZ). The 4 treatments were 1) control (C), a corn-soybean meal diet that contained 95% of amino acids recommended by NRC except for thre...

linear programming is a helpful and applied method for diet formulation based on minimum cost, but the minimum cost does not always mean maximum profit. this study was carried out to introduce a new diet formulation method based upon maximum profit to be replaced for minimum cost method. a total of 400 one-day-old broiler chicks (ross 308) were employed in the study. all broilers were fed simil...

An experiment was conducted from 18th October, 2006 to 18th January, 2007 at IAAS Livestock Farm, Rampur, Chitwan to determine the substitution effects of soybean meal with brewer’s dried grain (BDG) on the performance, economics and meat traits of swine production. Starter, grower and finisher diets were formulated containing 18, 16, and 14% CP respectively with 3000 Kcal/kg ME and adequately ...

Two 42-d floor pen studies were conducted with commercial broiler chickens to measure the efficacy of 1 ppm diclazuril in the starter or grower diet in shuttle programs with 66 ppm salinomycin. Study 1 compared a salinomycin to diclazuril (starter to grower diet) shuttle treatment with salinomycin to salinomycin, salinomycin to 100 ppm monensin, salinomycin to 99.8 ppm lasalocid, and unmedicate...

BACKGROUND Soy consumption may affect serum leptin levels and exert its beneficial effects in this way. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of soy consumption on serum leptin levels in postmenopausal women with metabolic syndrome. METHODS In this clinical trial, 42 postmenopausal women with metabolic syndrome were included. The patients followed three kinds of diets: control diet...
