This work studies final nutritional status and transcriptional responses of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss Walbaum 1792) (28 g) after a 10 week feeding experiment designed to elucidate the effect of adding a vitamin and mineral premix on growth, health, and nutritional endpoints. Juvenile fish were fed a either a diet supplemented with a vitamin and mineral premix (Diet S) or the same diet ...

A total of 96 one day-old Ross 308 chickens, divided, in to 12 groups (3 treatment and 4 replicate pens per treatment and 8 chickens per pens) in a same environmental conditions. Group A, consider as control group and group B and C considers as experimental groups. From first day, vitamin A premix was added to group B diets and complex of vitamin E premix and selenium was added to group C diets...

An investigation was carried out to determine whether a Day 28 to 49 dietary vitamin, trace mineral, and vitamin plus trace mineral premix withdrawal would impact Pectoralis major thiamin or riboflavin concentration in chicks reared under thermoneutral (24 C) and heat-stressed (24 to 35 C) conditions. No significant (P > 0.1) environment by nutrient withdrawal interactions were detected. Heat s...

poultry requirments for vitamins and minerals are met from two sources feed ingredients and premixes.in practical poultry nutrition, the role of feed ingredients is over looked. this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of the time of vitamin and mineral premixes withdrawal on growth and economic performance of broilers. four hundred and fifty, one day-old male broiler chickens (ros...

INTRODUCTION Premix insulin is the most commonly used insulin preparation in India. The first Indian premix guidelines were developed in 2009 and thereafter were updated in 2013. There is a need to revisit the Indian premix insulin guidelines, in view of emerging evidence and introduction of newer co-formulations. OBJECTIVE The present consensus has been developed to evaluate available premix...

Three experiments were conducted to determine the effects of omitting vitamin and trace mineral premixes and(or) reducing inorganic phosphorus additions to finishing diets on growth performance, carcass characteristics, and muscle quality in pigs. In Exp. 1, a corn-soybean meal-based diet (.70% lysine, .65% Ca, and .55% P) was used as the control. Pigs (n = 128; average initial BW of 85.7 kg) w...

Nixtamalization is the process of steeping dried corn in hot water with calcium hydroxide (lime). The resulting product, called nixtamal, is further processed into tortillas, a staple in the Mexican diet. Corn tortillas are prepared directly from nixtamal, from nixtamalized corn flour, or from a mixture of the two. A technology for adding micronutrients to fresh nixtamal tortillas is discussed....

OBJECTIVE The effects of heat treatment, supplementation of a mineral and vitamin premix, and 4% olive oil on the bioavailability of protein and calcium from Lens culinaris M., var vulgaris, cultivar. magda-20 were studied in growing rats. METHODS Nutrition assessment was based on chemical analysis of lentil protein, energy, total and available starch, lipid and calcium composition, and the d...

Premix formulation has a dramatic impact on premix handling and feed distribution characteristics, potential drug loss during the feed manufacturing and delivery process, and drug stability under adverse conditions such as pelleting or harsh environmental temperatures. Ultimately, premix formulation has a direct effect on the amount of drug presented to the pig’s digestive tract for disease tre...
