Poultry concentrate feed is predominantly produced by animal factories in Indonesia. Unfortunately, the selling price of concentrates has been steadily increasing, causing difficulties for poultry farmers maintaining their businesses. Indonesia, being an agricultural country, possesses a wealth products. The abundance products, coupled with significant amounts waste from by-products, can be pro...

Two experiments were conducted to determine the effects of restricted feeding on performance, carcass characteristics, and composition. In Trial 1, 36 individually penned steer calves (280 +/- 13 kg BW) were fed all-concentrate diets at intake levels of ad libitum and 90 and 80% of ad libitum. Trial 2 used 36 individually penned steer calves (298 +/- 14 kg BW) fed corn silage-based growing diet...

There is a general agreement between researchers that particle size of poultry feed should be between the size ranges of 600-900 µm. This study investigated the particle size of poultry feed produced in the Dormaa Municipality of Ghana. A survey was conducted on various feed mills which were made up of nine on-farm mills and five community-based commercial mills. Feed samples were collected fro...

A thirty Rahmani weaned male lambs of average body weight (27.28±1.40 kg) were randomly allotted to three similar groups, ten lambs in each, to study the benefit of commercial feed additives Tonilisat (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and Roemin W2 (Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus thermophilus, Bifidobacterium and Lactose) as growth promoters on lambs performance, digestibility, rumen activit...

This study evaluated the effects of various types feeding on fattening period and performance Linda geese. Feeding patterns consisted concentrate feed-based intensive pasture semi-intensive. A total 150 goslings aged three days were divided into two groups, each consisting replications. All groups given rations containing 23% crude protein 3100 kcal/kg ME in weeks 0–6, 20% between 7 17. After s...

Livestock, particularly ruminants, can eat a wider range of biomass than humans. In the drive for greater efficiency, intensive systems of livestock production have evolved to compete with humans for high-energy crops such as cereals. Feeds consumed by livestock were analysed in terms of the quantities used and efficiency of conversion of grassland, human-edible ('edible') crops and crop by-pro...

the acehnese mahseer, locally known as keureling, tor tambra is one of the highest economically valued freshwater fishes found in aceh waters. the culture of t. tambra was initiated in aceh province, indonesia more than five years ago. however, the growth rate in captivity has been low, probably due to feeding problems. hence, the objective of the present study was to evaluate the optimum level...

This experiment investigated the effect of olive cake in the feed of weaned Pramenka lambs on their daily gain, carcass traits and on the chemical composition of different groups of muscles. For that purpose, 45 male lambs were divided into three groups with 15 lambs each and fed separately for 50 days. The first group (control) was fed a commercial concentrate, while the second and third (test...
