It's expected that the Brazilian production of industrialized feed for horses reach 2 million tons by the year 2020. Feed processing consists of physical, chemical or biological modifications that are made in the feed. These modifications can increase the availability of nutrients for horses and/or preserve the quality of these nutrients in the raw material. The objective of this review was to ...

This project was undertaken to compare growth, meat quality, and diet digestibility when pigs were fed cafeteria food waste (FW) or a corn/soybean meal (CSM) diet. Cafeteria food waste (36 samples) fed in the growing and finishing experiment averaged 22.4% DM, 21.4% CP, 14.1% ADF, 27.2% ether extract, and 3.2% ash. The first experiment used 50 crossbred pigs randomly assigned to four diets. Dur...

Modern intensive livestock and poultry production has achieved phenomenal gains in the efficient and economical production of high quality and safe animal products and by-products. Furthermore, the overall performance of livestock can be increased by improving nutrients utilization, health status, fertility and efficiency of production. The use of feed additives has been an important part of ac...

background: the degree to which the amount of aningested nutrient is absorbed and available to the body is calledbioavailability. objectives: relative effectiveness of herbalmethionine (h-met®) compared to dl-methionine (dl-met)was investigated in this experiment. methods: exponentialregression analysis was used to determine bioefficacy of h-met®based on body weight gain, feed intake and feed c...

The University of Idaho provides equal opportunity in education and employment on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, age, disability, or status as a Vietnam-era veteran, as required by state and federal laws. 1 Malting barley is the most valued variety of barley. However, growing conditions for malt-ing barley may result in a substandard quality that is unsuitable for use by t...

A fermentation process for production of super coiled plasmid DNA in E. coli for use as a DNA vaccine was developed. In the process a feed-back control nutrient feeding strategy based on pH and DO was used to regulate the cell growth rate by controlling the interactivity of the nutrient feed rate, pH and DO. The process increased the total yield of plasmid DNA by approximately 4 fold as compare...

in this study, we determined the effects of replacing different levels of alfalfa with pistachio hull (ph) on feed intake, digestibility of nutrients, rumen fermentative parameters, blood metabolites and nitrogen metabolism in balochi male lambs. three male lambs (35±2 kg live weight) equipped with ruminal and abomasual cannulas were randomly assigned into a 3 × 3 latin square design. experimen...

in order to investigate the effects of supplementary calcium chloride and potassium nitrate on plant growth of ammi (carum copticum l.) in different salinity levels and nutrient solutions (ns), an experiment based on randomized complete block design (rcbd) with factorial arrangement was conducted under greenhouse condition in the faculty of agriculture, vali-e-asr university of rafsanjan, durin...
