1. The use of a nylon-bag technique for pig feed digestibility determination was studied. Bags, measuring 25 x 40 mm and containing feed samples, were introduced into the pig gastrointestinal tract through a duodenal cannula, and recovered in the faeces between 23 and 69 h later. The disappearance of organic matter and crude protein (nitrogen x 6.25) from the bags was compared with in vivo appa...

The crop nutrition has a well-defined effect on yield and quality of forage crops. Among various essential macro nutrients, the nitrogen has a key function in improving forage yield and crude protein contents but demand of crop for nitrogen varies with the cultivars. The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of different nitrogen levels (0, 25, 50 kg ha) on forage yield and qual...

Despite the use of modern materials, clay bricks are reasonably preferable materials nowadays. However, the moo fetched and flexibility of clay bricks are not related with tall natural and feasible values, particularly with regard to crude fabric sources and fabricating processes. Agricultural world is growing fast, with increased rural arrive development and land cultivation leading to massive...

In 2006 in Germany new recommendations for the supply of energy and nutrients to pigs were published, including a modification of the energy evaluation on the basis of metabolisable energy for pigs (MES). It was the objective of this meta-analysis to calculate equations that can be used for predicting MES in compound feeds for pigs on the basis of their nutrient concentrations. Data from digest...

Experiments were carried out to study the digestibility of a cassava (gari) diet and its effect on growth in young male dogs. Three groups of dogs were fed on diets with rice (control), cassava (gari), and rice + cyanide respectively as the carbohydrate source. Each diet contained 130 g crude protein (nitrogen x 6,25)/kg, was supplemented with vitamins and minerals, and was fed for 14 weeks. Va...

Lentil (Lens culinaris) straw as such and its total mixed ration (TMR) were evaluated in the diet of growing Barberi male kids. Experiment was conducted in two groups of five Barberi male kids in each group. They were fed either ad libitum lentil straw (LS) or LS based TMR (LSTMR). Lentil straw alone was a superior (CP, 9.21%) feed ingredient for kids but having quite high crude fibre (39.59%) ...

The pulp of Dialium guineense (Velvet tamarind) was analyzed and the proximate analysis and mineral composition evaluated. The pulp contained 30% moisture content, 7.09% crude protein, 0.75% crude lipid and below detection limit for crude fiber, 2% ash content, 57.04% available carbohydrate and energy value 263.27(KJ/100g). Mineral composition and Vitamin C content for the samples were investig...


 Abstract— Tofu is an oriental food that originated from China and later became a traditional cuisine in many South East Asia Countries, e.g. Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand. The tofu was made by coagulating soy milk with salt to form curds, which further compress solid block. usually uses soybeans as the main ingredients; however, this experiment, were partially replaced chickpeas increas...
