A total twenty-three lambs were randomly allocated a control group (11 lambs, with an average live weight 23.39±0.58 kg) experimental (12 23.55±0.41 kg). Also, each was divided into two subgroups according their gende...

A feeding trial was carried out to determine the effects of chromium methionine (Cr-Met) chelate and forage level over two years, 1(st) fattening and 2(nd) fattening period on growth parameters, carcass characteristics and blood metabolites of 46 Korean native (Hanwoo, Bos Taurus, BW = 183 ± 44 kg) steers. Treatments were: 1) Steers in the low forage (LF) group were fed diets that consisted of ...

l. The effects of the plerocercoid growth factor on several species of lower vertebrates were tested. 2. There was little effect on growth or fattening in either fish or frogs. 3. Plerocercoid infections and to a lesser degree worm homogenate injections markedly stimulated growth but not fattening in lizards.

We did a prospective observational 9-month long study to quantify risk factors of managerial and hygiene practices, and pig-health status for Salmonella seroconversion of fattening pigs reared in subclinically infected French farrow-to-finish farms.
