Weaning transition is often associated with the occurrence of post-weaning diarrhoea syndrome (PWDS). The reduction dietary crude protein (CP) has been intensively used as a strategy for con...

In the northwest of Mexico, a desert zone, new alternatives are required to satisfy the needs of food in goats; evidence indicate that feeding with Salicornia bigelovii forage, could be a contribution to goat obtaining system. Regarding to this halophyte, the information related to its use as a forage supplement in Sonora desert is very limited, specifically in goats. The goal of this ...

The black walnut (Juglans nigra L.) is an underutilized fruit in the mid-hills of Nepal. However, the physico-chemical properties of Nepalese black walnut are almost unavailable in the literature.

Research on elephant grass with 2 x factorial repeated five times has been carried out at AGRO-1 and AGRO-2, Tuntang watershed. Observed variables were: plant height, forage production, dry matter content, crude protein, fiber. Soil samples were observed including soil bulk density, pH, total N. Plant height in was higher (85.1 cm) than the AGRO-2 system (71.5 cm). Season affects growth as indi...

It was confirmed in metabolic experiments with 4 individuals of roe deer (2 males and 2 females with the live weight of 20.8 and 17.9 kg, respectively) that due to the animals’ selective choice of a part of feeds there was no significant difference in the intake of lucerne hay of different quality and high-quality meadow hay (515.86 ± 66.97 and 597.82 ± 94.87 g, respectively). However, differen...

Banana is one of the most important crops, providing multiple benefits. Although it has been widely studied for its health benefits, little information can be found about proteins. This study determined antihypertensive and antioxidant activities crude, purified, hydrolyzed protein extracts from ‘Señorita’ banana pulp. Crude proteins were extracted using Tris-HCl buffer purified through ammoniu...

this experiment was carried out using 200 ross 308 broiler chickens in a completely randomized design with 5 treatments and 4 replicates. the true metabolisable energy of the barley hulls were determined using cecectomized roosters.the dry matter, true metabolisable energy, ash, ether extracts, crude protein, crude fiber, ndf, adf, ca and total p content of barely hulls were: 92%, 978 kcal/kg, ...
