BACKGROUND Previous study shown that enzyme treated-rice bran effectively improved hypertension and glucose intolerance in stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHRSP). However, dual fermentation of rice bran's efficacy against metabolic syndrome in SHRSP is still unknown. METHODS Fermented rice bran (FRB) was prepared by dual fermentation of rice bran using fungi and lactic acid bacte...

An experiment was conducted to determine effects of wheat bran (WB) phytase on production performance and nutrient utilization in laying hens. Three hundred and seventy-five Lohmann hens at 32 weeks of age were randomly allotted to treatments of fifteen hens per pen with five pens per treatment. Five experimental diets were formulated. Diet one (control) contained 0.19% inorganic phosphate (Pi)...

objective: the experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of different levels of germinated barley on performance and egg quality in laying hen. methods: one hundred and twenty laying hens, 44-weeks old, lohmann lsl hens were used in this experiment. birds were assigned randomly to the groups, each of which consisted of 20 birds (4 replicate cages each containing 5 birds). the experiment w...

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the feeding value of rancid rice bran in finishing pigs. In exp. 1, fresh (FRB), rancid (RRB), pelleted and extruded rice bran were used to determine stability and nutrient digestibility. The free fatty acid (FFA) values of FRB and RRB were 8.2 and 15.3%, respectively. Some of the FRB was pelleted (70°C) or extruded (110°C). In exp. 2, a total of 48 pi...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate effects of different levels of mineral and vitamin premixes with wheat and corn base diets on performance and egg traits of laying hens. experiment carried out as 2*5 factorial include wheat and corn base diets and 5 levels of minerals and vitamin premixes (0, 0.25, 0.35, 0.45 and 0.55 percentage) in a completely randomized design with 360 hi-line (w36)...

This study was designed to compare the effect of kola testa, which is rich in fibre with maize conventional energy source and other sources such as corn bran rice bran. A total two hundred forty African giant land snails (Archachatina marginata) an average live weight 177.69 ± 10.87g were assigned four dietary treatments: a maize-based diet (Diet 1) served control, completely randomized design....
