A conventional and two genetically modified soybean samples were processed to dehulled soybean meal (SBM) at a pilot plant and were compared with SBM from a commercial processing plant. Crude protein levels (%) of the experimental SBM samples were M700, 52.5; M702, 53.4; and M703, 62.7. The commercial SBM sample (UI) contained 47.5% protein. Amino acid, gross energy, lipid, and fiber analyses w...

This study was conducted to determine the chemical composition and metabolizable energy of poultry by-product meal (PBPM) from two slaughterhouses in Iran. Samples were analyzed for dry matter, crude protein, ash, ether extract and gross energy. The amounts of calcium, phosphorus, sodium, potassium, Magnesium, Iron, Manganese, copper and Zinc were determined. The apparent metabolizable energy (...

three experiments were conducted to study metabolizable energy, protein quality and chemical composition of four blood meal (bm) samples from local animal rendering plant during 20 days sampling. all experiments were designed in a completely randomized design. the result of first experiment showed that chemical composition averages of bm samples were: dm, 88.43; cp, 77.03; ee, 1.12; ash, 5.01; ...

this experiment was conducted to determine the ame, amen, tme and tmen of beet pulp fed to male ostriches at  their 90 d of age. different levels of beet pulp (0, 15, 30 and 40%) were fed through replacements in the basal diet. for a determination of ame and amen using marker method, beet pulp was replaced in the basal diet at 40%. a number of 16 vs. 8 ostrich chicks were employed in each of th...

this experiment was conducted to determine the ame, amen, tme and tmen of alfalfa meal for male ostrich at 90 d of age. experiment was done as a completely randomized design with 5 treatments of 4 replicate and 4 chicks each. different levels of alfalfa meal (0, 15, 30 and 40%) were replaced to the basal diet. ame and amen were determined via chromic oxid marker and total collection methods. th...

An in vitro incubation study was carried out to determine whether various carbohydrase preparations contained appropriate activities to target nonstarch polysaccharides (NSP) of full-fat flaxseed. Enzyme preparations C (cellulase, 340 U/g), XG (xylanase, 63,600 U/g and glucanase, 48,300 U/g), P (pectinase, 10,000 U/g), and MC (mannanase, 10,900 U/g and cellulase, 600 U/ g), alone and in combina...

A family of cyano-bridged copper(II)-copper(I) mixed-valence polymers containing diamine ligands of formula [Cu(pn)(2)][Cu(2)(CN)(4)] (1, pn = 1,2-propanediamine), [Cu(2)(CN)(3)(dmen)] (2, dmen = N,N-dimethylethylenediamine), and [Cu(3)(CN)(4)(tmen)] (3, tmen = N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine) have been prepared with the aim of analyzing how their architecture may be affected by steric con...

This study was carried out to investigate the nutritional values of soybean meals (SBM) from various geographic origins and the effects of their dietary supplementations on performance of broiler chicken. Nutritional values of dehulled SBM originated from USA, and nondehulled SBM from India (IND) and Argentina (ARG) were evaluated by analyzing chemical composition, urease activity(UA) and KOH s...
