Two digestion trials were conducted with seven crossbred, abomasally cannulated yearling steers (400 kg) to study the effect of level of feed intake on the site and extent of feed and microbial protein digestion. Steers, in a crossover design experiment, were fed an 81.5% steam-processed flaked (SPF) sorghum grain diet at either 95% (four steers) or 75% (three steers) of their ad libitum intake...

One type of legume that is very suitable to be used as a raw material for making lobster feed the sworded koro nut (Canavalia ensiformis). Soybeans which are source vegetable protein can now supported by sword beans. The purpose this study was examine quality artificial using Koro Sword Nuts ensiformis) substitute soybean flour Sand Lobster (Panulirus homarus) feed. method experimental with RAL...

Introduction: Fish innards contain 14.01% protein, 20% lipid, 4.75% ash, and 60.62% water. are formulated into granules for practicality in their application as animal feed. 
 Aim: This research on the proximate analysis of feed composed raw material from fish wastes used a descriptive quantitative method. Results: The result indicated that water content measured using thermogravimetric me...

Feed costs are the major cost of live turkey production. With recent use of grain and oilseeds for bio-energy production and increased need for feed worldwide, we have seen significant cost increases for feed ingredients and thus to the overall cost of turkey feed. While initially this was thought to be a market swing, it now appears that higher input costs are the norm and thus efforts to redu...

THREE experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of different protein levels (17, 20, 23 and 26%) energy (2800, 3000 3200 KCals/Kg diet) on performance broiler chicks in tropics. Maximum weight gains efficiency feed conversion obtained rations containing or 26% protein. As dietary level increased, there was a slight depression gain. The best 2800 diet. Feed intake observed be inverse...

Fall armyworm (FAW) Spodoptera frugiperda is a devastating pest of over 350 plant species especially the cereal crops such as, maize, sorghum and rice. The currently posing threats to food security in Africa. FAW could be potential animal feed that can supplement chicken feed. However, there little information on its nutritional profile as poultry aim study was compare nutrient content larvae o...

In organic pig production one of the major challenges is to be able to fulfil amino acid requirements based on organic and locally grown protein feed crops. The pig is an opportunistic omnivore with a unique capacity for foraging above and below the soil surface. It is hypothesized that direct foraging in the range area can pose an important contribution in terms of fulfilling nutrient requirem...
