Three diets were formulated and produced with Dried Broiler manure (DBM), Maize Offal (MO), Cassava flour meal (CF), Thrashed tilapia Fish (TTF)b pork-lard (PL). They compared conventional feed ingredients for growth, survival, nutrients utilization cost evaluation indices in 150 days. The biological data obtained from the fish fed at 5% biomass did not revealed any significant differences (P&g...

Global consumption of poultry products, especially poultry meat, has consistently increased over the years, and this trend is expected to continue. Much of the increase in global demand for poultry products will be in developing countries. Such growth in the poultry industry is having a profound effect on the demand for feed and raw materials.

The purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility of estimating the total and phytate P content of common poultry feed ingredients by near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS). Samples of 8 plant-origin feedstuffs were collected from poultry producers in the USA and Canada during the summer of 2009: corn (133), soybean meal (114), corn distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS; 8...

1. Male weanling rats were given for extended periods diets containing gum arabic or wheat offal or various offal fractions. The fractions included two lipid fractions, a water-soluble extract and a modified-acid-detergent (MAD)-fibre extract. The diets contained either low concentrations of aflatoxin B1 (induced rats) or were free from this source of aflatoxin (non-induced rats). The distribut...
