The effects of replacing soybean meal (SBM) with graded levels morula kernel cake (MKC) on growth performance and haemo-biochemical parameters in broiler chickens were studied. Four isonitrogenous iso-caloric diets formulated by the SBM component at 0, 40, 80 120 g/kg MKC as protein source grower finisher diets. One hundred sixty 2-week-old chicks randomly allocated to treatments, which replica...

Compound feed and the raw materials used in their production are potential vectors of microbiological contamination food chain. The purpose this study was to microbiologically asses (maize, wheat, soybean meal, sunflower meal), broiler compound (starter, grower, finisher) from a representative mill Romania; contaminants that were analyzed yeasts molds, Salmonella spp., Escherichia coli, Clostri...

The aim of this study was to compare the effects of three antibiotic alternatives with a control (Antibiotic-free) and an antibiotic diet on performance and gut morphology of broilers reared on litter. 600 day-old ROSS-308 chicks were assigned to 48 pens in a CRD design with 6 × 2 factorial arrangements, in which 2 levels of chick density (5 and 7.5 chicks/m2) and 6 experimental diets (control,...

The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the compensatory growth feeding strategy could be a suitable solution for overcoming the negative effects on growth, carcass composition and meat quality of low birth weight pigs. Forty-two Swiss Large White barrows from 21 litters were selected at weaning and categorized into either being light (L; >0.8 and <1.3 kg) or heavy (H; >1.7 kg) birth weig...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of different levels of dried lemon pulp (dlp) on performance, carcass traits, blood biochemical and immunity parameters of broilers. in this experiment 240 of broilers (ross-308) were used in a completely randomized design with 4 treatments and 3 replicates (with 20 birds in each replicate) from 1 to 42 days. experimental diets included: 1) ...

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of the degree and duration of early dietary AA restrictions on subsequent and overall pig performance and physical and sensory characteristics of pork. For the grower (G) and finisher-1 (F1) phases, 3 corn-soybean meal diets were formulated to contain 100, 80, or 60% of the 1998 NRC total Lys recommendations (100G, 80G, or 60G, and 100F1...

The efficiency of 2 enzyme complexes on male broiler nutrient digestibility and performance were evaluated. A total of 120 and 840 day-old male broilers (Cobb 500 strain) were used in the metabolic and performance tests, respectively. The birds were distributed into 4 treatments [positive control (PC), negative control (NC), NC + enzyme complex A (xylanase, glucanase, amylase, protease and cell...
