An intercomparison study was conducted to determine the presence of processed animal proteins (PAPs), including meat and bone meal (MBM) from various species, in animal feed. The performances of different methods, such as microscopy, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), immunoassays, and a protocol based on iquid chromatography (LC), were compared. Laboratories were asked to analyze for PAPs from a...

Despite the sporadic discovery of new cases of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), Canadian officials say a ban on the use of ruminant material in feed and other measures are working effectively to limit the risk to humans. So assured are experts that Canada has contained the mad cow disease threat from the national herd of 14 million cattle that they are turning their attention to other an...

Abstract Grasses and legumes are the two most significant plant species utilized as animal feed. Each of them has a special set advantages that make it suitable for distinct use. Thus, objectives this research work were to (i) evaluate effects planting density on growth development grasses, (ii) examine nutritional status grasses ruminant production. Five subjected 10 cm, 20 cm 30 in RCBD with ...

An energy system is described in which, in both single-stomached and ruminant animals, the heat increment of feeding is considered to be linearly related to five measurable quantities. For both kinds of animals three of the quantities, with their heat increments in parentheses, are urinary N (wu; kJ/g), faecal organic matter (wd; kJ/g) and positive protein retention (wp; kJ/g). In ruminants the...

AIM The aim was to determine the chemical composition and metabolisable energy (ME) content of feedstuffs used in ruminant animals using in vitro method. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 18 feedstuffs used for ruminant feeding including cultivated non-leguminous fodders like maize, sorghum, pearl millet, and oat; leguminous fodders like cowpea and berseem; agro-industrial by-products such as ...

The increase in fractional rate of protein synthesis (Ks) in the skeletal muscle of growing rats during the transition from fasted to fed state has been explained by the synergistic action of a rise in plasma insulin and branched-chain amino acids (BCAA). Since growing lambs also exhibit an increase in Ks with level of feed intake, the objective of the present study was to determine if this syn...

Roughages have vital importance in the diet of ruminants because they are cheap and absolutely necessary for digestive physiology. Ruminant nutrition requires quality feeds to obtain high amounts product. As more than half business inputs made up feed expenses, necessity high-quality roughage sources, which cheaper compared concentrate, arises. The means that amount mixed can be put into rumina...

The University of Idaho provides equal opportunity in education and employment on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, age, disability, or status as a Vietnam-era veteran, as required by state and federal laws. 1 Malting barley is the most valued variety of barley. However, growing conditions for malt-ing barley may result in a substandard quality that is unsuitable for use by t...
