changes in dietary electrolyte balance influence the metabolic fate of protein and many amino acids. furthermore, acid-base condition is achieved in part by the alteration of dietary amino acids pattern and quantity. therefore, a trial was conducted in a completely randomized design to evaluate performance, carcass characteristics, plasma electrolyte and uric acid concentrations of 19 and 28-da...

the aim of this study was to compare the effects of two levels of crude protein using poultry by-product meals (pbpm) fed during late gestation on the performance, blood metabolites, and colostrum composition of holstein dairy cows. sixteen multiparous cows 26±6 d before expected calving were assigned randomly to two treatments containing 1) 14% and 2) 16% crude protein. the cow’s bcs was 3.56 ...

A 60-days feeding trail was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary digestible energy levels (DE) on kutum, Rutilus frisii kutum. Four is nitrogenous (35% protein) diets with digestible energy levels of 2500, 2600, 2700 and 2800kcal kg-1 was tested. Two hundred and forty advanced fry (2±0.4g) were randomly distributed in 12 fiberglass tanks of 400L capacity. Nutritional responses in...

Awassi is a multi-purpose sheep breed. Awassi lambs being finished are usually offered an 18% crude protein (CP) diet. The growth rate of Awassi lambs is lower than other meat breeds. Therefore, this high content of dietary CP is questionable. The objective of this study was to estimate the optimum CP level for finishing Awassi lambs. Fifty male Awassi lambs (23.0+/-1.2kg) were fed five high co...

Two experiments were conducted to examine the effect of the level of dietary crude protein and protein source on intestinal populations of Clostridium perfringens in broilers. In experiment 1, 6 groups of 12 birds were fed diets containing 230,315 or 400 g/kg crude protein with soy protein concentrate (SPC) or low-temperature-dried fishmeal as the major protein sources in a 2 x 3 factorial arra...

intercropping is considered as a method for increasing yield per unit and stability. in order to evaluate the effects of phosphorous biofertilizer and chemical phosphorous on fodder quality of corn (zea mays l.) and grass pea (lathyrus sativa l.) intercropping, two field experiments were conducted as factorial based on randomized complete block design with four replications at two places simult...
