Component models were developed to predict the net efficiency of ME utilization for gain in cattle and to predict daily gain using recovered energy as the input. These models were integrated into a single model to predict daily gain from ME available for gain. One component model predicts the net efficiency of ME utilization for gain using constant partial net efficiencies of 0.2 and 0.75 for M...

Three 35-d trials involving 288 crossbred weanling pigs (initial weight, 7.1 kg; age, 28 d) were used to determine the separate and interactive effects of two floor space allowances (.28 and .14 m2/pig) and three dietary lysine levels (NRC recommended, NRC+ .1% crystalline lysine-HCl, and NRC+ .2% crystalline lysine-HCl) on growth performance and several factors that measure variation within pe...

As obesity is a common disease and its consequences may be serious, it is surprising how seldom the processes by which it arises have been studied experimentally in man. We know of only five human subjects who have been overfed for a significant length of time while attempts were made to assess the weight gain against measured differences between the calorie intake in the food and the calorie e...

three-hundred and twenty 7-day-old ross 308-strain broiler chickens were fed diets containing 0 or 125 ppb aflatoxin b 1 (afb1) from 7 to 28 days of age. sodium bentonite (0.5%), yeast (saccharomyces cervisiae) 0.2%, hydrated sodium calcium aluminosilicate (hscas) (0.5%), ammonia (0.5%), formycine (0.1%), and toxiban (0.1%) were added to the basal diet, as fed basis to determine the effects of ...

the effects of methanolic extract and leaf powder of artemisia annua were studied on performance, cellular and humoral immunity in 240 cobb broiler chicks in a completely randomized design. control group did not receive any treatment. the chicks in the second and third groups were fed with feed which contained 2000 and 4000 ppm plant extract in diet and in the groups 4, 5 and 6 chicks received ...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the influence of roasted soybean and sunflower meal on the consumption and growth performance of lambs from the Blackhead Pleven Breed. The results indicated that the addition of roasted soybean caused the lambs to grow significantly faster than those fed sunflower meal (P

Three-hundred and twenty 7-day-old Ross 308-strain broiler chickens were fed diets containing 0 or 125 ppb aflatoxin B 1 (AFB1) from 7 to 28 days of age. Sodium bentonite (0.5%), yeast (Saccharomyces cervisiae) 0.2%, hydrated sodium calcium aluminosilicate (HSCAS) (0.5%), ammonia (0.5%), formycine (0.1%), and toxiban (0.1%) were added to the basal diet, as fed basis to determine the effects of ...

Records on four bulls and 96 of their progeny born from 2005 to 2011 with pedigree information were used to estimate the impact of bull performance on progeny early growth and the genetic relationships between traits of bull and their progeny. Traits included in this study were metabolic body weight, feed intake and residual feed intake (RFI) for bull performance and birth weight and average da...
