the effects of l-carnitine on growth performance and carcass composition in male broiler chicks, fed diet in which cp was reduced in a stepwise manner from 21 to 18% were investigated. ileal digestible quantities of all eaa were almost equal in the diets, with quantities nrc 1994 recommendations. one hundred forty four male commercial broilers were allotted to six groups, each with four replica...

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect fermented straw supplementation with green concentrate on nutrient content and digestibility. Green used as treatment white lead tree leaf flour ( Leucaena leucocephala ), Gamal meal Gliricidia sepium Indigofera meal. Proximate analysis carried out rice straw, 70% + 30% lamtoro (FRS tree), ) ). livestock for digestibility test 12 Friesian Ho...

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. Four walnut growing districts namely Baitadi, Dadeldhura, Jumla and East Rukum selected and the black walnut collected at commercial maturity from the local markets. The physical properties w...

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...

Blaptica dubia is a cockroach that used as feed for most reptiles and amphibians because of itnutritive value. Its alternative protein sources can replace the current high priced imported animalfeed such fishmeal, soybeans meat. It has potential an animal minimize highlivestock farming cost farmers. A study was conducted to determine nutritionalcomposition (moisture, ash, crude protein, chitin ...

A study was conducted to evaluate the nutrient content and variability of distiller's dried grains with solubles (DDGS) originating from new (less than 5 yr old) ethanol plants in Minnesota and South Dakota. Ten plants (8 MN, 2 SD) participated in the study, submitting a total of 118 samples. Samples were collected every 2 mo from ten ethanol plants in the Minnesota-South Dakota (MNSD) region f...

Crude protein, fat, water, ash, dry matter and essential amino and fatty acids were analyzed from freshly collected Chironomus plumosus larvae in order to evaluate their suitability as a component for farmed fish diet. The analyses were performed in intact living organisms and in the dry matter. Essential amino acids were determined by LKB 4101 automatic analyzer, while fatty acids were determi...

AIM This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of L-carnitine supplementation on growth performance, nutrient utilization and nitrogen balance in broilers fed with animal fat. MATERIALS AND METHODS 80 day-old Cobb commercial broiler chicks were randomly assigned into two dietary treatment groups with four replicates of ten chicks each. The diets were isonitrogenous and isocaloric. T...
