An experiment was conducted to examine the effects of different pre-starter diets on the performance, digestive organs and carcass characteristics of broilers. One hundred and fifty day-old broiler chicks were divided into five groups with three replicates having ten chicks each. During first ten days the birds were fed on five experimental pre-starter diets formulated with different metaboliza...

Ž . A feeding trial was designed to evaluate the influence of partial replacement of fish meal FM protein for soy-derived protein in large rainbow trout fed practical, high-energy diets with and Ž without supplemental phytase. A 2=2 factorial arrangement with two soy levels 0% and 69.4% . Ž y1. of the dietary protein from soybeans and two phytase levels 0 and 1200 U kg was used. Soy Ž . Ž . pro...

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the use of distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) from modern ethanol plants in broiler diets. Experiment 1 was a 2 x 2 factorial experiment with diets containing 2 levels of DDGS (0 and 15%) and 2 diet densities (high and low). The high- and low-density diets were formulated to contain 22% CP and 3,050 kcal MEn/kg and 20% CP and 3,000 kcal MEn/k...

to study the possible use of phytase and yeast (saccharomyces cervisiae) in corn-soy bean meal base diet with different levels of available phosphorous in arbor acers broiler chicks, an experiment was conducted with 264 day old chicks of an average weight of 44.6 grams each. a completely randomized design of 6 treatments and 4 replications (11 chicks per replicate) for periods of starter, growe...

Nitrogen (N) balance studies were conducted with male growing broiler chickens to reevaluate the lysine (Lys) requirement of a modern broiler strain (Ross 308), making use of eight diets with graded crude protein (CP) supply (6% 34% CP as-fed). Wheat, soy protein concentrate, wheat gluten, fishmeal and crystalline amino acids (AAs) were the protein sources in the experimental diets with Lys as ...
