This study aims to determine the suitability of dried shrimp head as part of the ingredient in formulated diet to promote growth of sea cucumber in captivity. The sea cucumber Holothuria scabra were divided into two tanks to test two different diets: Diet A (commercial diet supplemented with dried shrimp waste) and Diet B (commercial diet without dried shrimp waste). A total of 20 pieces of H. ...

this study was conducted to determine the effects of supplemented curcumin (cmn), derived from plant curcuma longa, extract on performance and blood parameters of acetaminophen (act) induced quail hepatic injury. 240 quails from 0-37 days of age were used in a completely randomized design with 4 treatments of 4 replicates each and 15 chickens per replicate. all groups received 750 mg/kg body we...

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of different fresh feed supplemented to commercial diet on growth and survival of Oscar fish (Astronauts ocellatus) (initial weight: 1.58-1.70 g) during 60-day period. The husbandry environment consisted of glass aquariums appropriate to growth with a photoperiod cycle of 12 L: 12 D. The water temperature was kept at 28 ±1°C. 360 fries of Oscar (i...

The effects of inulin-supplemented diet on Cu, Mn, and Zn bioavailability in recently weaned piglets raised at an experimental and a commercial farm were studied. Piglets were weaned at 28 days of age, when all of them were fed a barley-wheat based starter diet supplemented with a usual vitamin-mineral premix for piglets. The reference diet group received additional 50 mg of zinc per kg diet, w...

Dietary supplementation with hydrolysates has been suggested to influence muscle protein synthesis and fish growth. This study assessed the impact of including 3% swine blood (BH) in a plant-based diet on cellularity expression molecular markers related fibre proliferation hypertrophic growth European seabass. Three BH fractions were obtained by two different processes, autohydrolysis (AH-H) en...

The aim was to assess the efficacy of prophylactic health products (PHPs) on shrimp (Penaeus monodon) post larvae (PL) during nursery phase. This included five treatments: infeed probiotic (F_PRO), water (W_PRO), a combination and (FW_SYN), biofloc, biofloc (F_PRO&biofloc), no-treatment control, replicates each. Each tank filled with 450 L stocked 700 PL15, weight 0.008 ± 0.00 g at density 1.56...

abstract this investigation was conducted to replace artificial food with gammarus and study this effect on survival and growth parameters of jewel in case of completely randomized design with 3 treatments and 3 replicates in each treatments. 270 jewel fishes with initial mean weight of 1.22±0.72 were reared in 9 aquariums (30 fishes in each aquarium) with volume of 100 liter water. experimenta...
