Cotyledons and hulls were prepared from twelve varieties of field beans (Vicia faba L.). Adult cockerels were tube-fed either beans, cotyledons or hull diets containing high or low levels of protein. Metabolizable energy coefficients and starch digestibility coefficients were determined for beans, cotyledons and hull diets. Lipid digestibility coefficients from hull diets were also determined. ...

phytate in poultry rations containing rice bran (rb) critically reduce poultry performance while increasing n and p excretion. the objective of this study was to determine whether the anti-nutritive problems associated with higher inclusions of rice bran in poultry rations (up to 40%) could be mitigated with mega doses of phytase. twenty days old male broiler chicks (n=180) in 60 floor pens wer...

The aim of present study is investigating effect of treated lemon pulp by Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast on protein and energy metabolism in goats was fed with this product. In this experiment 8 goats from raini breed were used for 21 days period; 16 days for adaptation and 5 days for sampling, to investigate the effect of processing lemon pulp by Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeas...

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect replacing Tifton 85 hay with maniçoba in diets based on spineless cactus nutrient intake and digestibility, ingestive behaviour ruminal parameters confined sheep. In order do this, eight male sheep cannulae were used, distributed across four levels (0, 333, 666 1.000 g kg-1 dry matter) replacement a double Latin square experimental...

Soy protein isolate and egg white were added to cassava-banana gluten-free pasta the effects on nutritional quality, digestibility properties, corrected amino acid (PDCAA), sensory acceptance of was observed. Banana-cassava composite flour (75:25) blended with soy or at following rates: 0, 5, 10, 15 g/100 g flour. Cooked samples analysed for total phenolic content (TPC), antioxidant activity, p...

a crd experiment was conducted to study three different soybean meals on experimental qualitative properties, digestibility of protein and performance in broiler chickens for a 42 day period. a total of 195 day-old ross 308 male broiler chickens were randomly distributed to 3 dietary treatments with five replicates of 13 chicks each. to measure digestibility of protein, thirty 15-day-old ross 3...

The effect of substituting native grass with jengkol (Archidendron jiringa) by-product on fermentation characteristics, rumen microbial profile, methane production, and hydrogen balance using in vitro method was investigated. Seven treatments (different composition of native grass, jengkol peel, jengkol leaves, and concentrate) with five replications in a block randomized desi...

1. Three series of nitrogen balance experiments were performed with growing rats to test the effect of type and level of protein, fibre and starch on N excretion patterns. The design involved eighteen treatments in a 3 X 3 X 2 factorial experiment with five rats per dietary treatment. The eighteen treatments resulted from a combination of three protein treatments, three fibre treatments and two...

The apparent digestibility of energy, protein, fat and non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) of low and high dietary fibre (DF) mixed diets were studied in three series of experiments with man and the rat. Low DF diets were used as control diets in each experimental series and the DF level was increased by adding fruits and vegetables (Study 1), citrus fibre concentrate (Study 2) and insoluble barle...
