This experimental trial was conducted to study the effects of dried poultry dropping based diets on the dry matter intake, live weight changes, nutrient digestibility and N-balanceof Konkan Kanyal goats. Thirty Konkan Kanyal goats aged between 9-12 months and with average weight of 13.66 kg were used in a randomized block design (RBD) experiment. The experimental goats were randomly assigned to...

In the current Iranian poultry industry, antibiotics are the most frequently used additive in feeds to increase the productivity. Regarding the negative effects on human health due to consuming chicken whose feeds contain antibiotics, finding an appropriate alternative is of a great importance. This study aims to find an appropriate and harmless feed additive to increase the quality and quantit...

The inclusion of low phytate grains in poultry diets can reduce the phosphorus (P) content of poultry feces, but their influence on fecal P composition is not well established. To assess this, 100 male broiler chicks (21 days old) were fed dietary treatments based on either a wild-type barley or one of three low phytate mutant barleys with 59, 62 and 99% reductions in phytate P, compared with t...

Previous results indicated that performance of chicks fed a high level (10%) of poultry by-product meal(PBM) was lower than performance of chicks fed a corn-soybean meal (SBM) diet. The latter difference was hypothesized to be due to variation in digestible amino acid (AA) levels among the diets. This study evaluated diets containing PBM formulated on equivalent total AA basis vs. an equivalent...

Studies on red fox Vulpes vulpes biology, including habitat and food preferences have been very popular during recent decades. However, the majority of them were mainly carried out mainly in highly human-modified habitats. In this paper we present data on the diet of the red fox, with special attention to domestic poultry and on den site selection in extensive farmland in Poland. During the yea...

The poultry industry in India represents a major success story. With rapidly changing lifestyles, affluent culture and a conscious need for general wellness, Indian consumers are now opting for a more protein-rich diet. From a plot scheme, it has made a quantum leap to become as a dynamic industry. The present decade promises to exploit value added products and the global trade avenue. This pap...

Effect of dietary treatment levels on body linear measurements of growing Yankasa rams (Ovis aries) fed sorghum (Sorghum bicolor)Moench stover supplemented with graded levels of dried poultry dropping based diets was assessed using thirty growing Yankasa rams (Ovis aries) consisting of five treatments (T1-T5). Each treatment consisted of three replicates with two animals per replicate. T1: were...

This study was conducted to determine the effect of herbals on production performance and gastrointestinal health layer hens. There were 50 hens used assigned randomly into two different types diets namely, basal diet (T0) diet+3ml herbals/1000g ration (T1) with each treatment consisting 25 birds. Meanwhile, supplemented poultry feed consisted tumeric, sambiloto leaves, soursop ginger, lemongra...
