The nutritional properties of fillets and minced flesh from Alaska pollock and nontraditional finfish species from the Gulf of Mexico were investigated. Based on protein efficiency ratio, net protein ratio, amino acid chemical score, and protein digestibility, the data indicated that minced fish flesh, prepared by proper mechanical deboning of dressed carcasses, contained protein of equal nutri...

The objectives of this study were to describe the relationships between milk urea concentrations and nutritional management, production, and economic variables in commercial dairy herds. Dairy Herd Improvement (DHI) test-day milk urea data, production data, and information on ration nutrient composition and feeding management programs were collected over a 13-mo period from 53 commercial Ontari...

An experiment was conducted for sixty days to evaluate the effects of Vitamin C of formulated feed on growth performance and body composition of stringing fish, Heteropneustes fossilis (Bloch, 1792). During experimental trial in the laboratory condition, the change in growth and feed utilization by the stringing fish fed on three different Vitamin C level have been assessed by the determination...

Studies were conducted to determine the effects of high dietary ascorbic acid (vitamin C) on growth performance and body composition of a commercially important Asian catfish, Clarias batrachus. During experimental trial in the laboratory condition, the change in growth and feed utilization by the Clarias batrachus fed on three different Vitamin C level have been assessed by the determination o...

Tempehs were prepared from soybean, bengal gram, cowpea and field beans with pure spore culture of Rhizopus oligosporus MTCC 556. Prepared soybean tempeh (ST), bengal gram tempeh (BT), cowpea tempeh (CT), field bean tempeh (FT) and basal diets were evaluated through diet intake, body weight gain, protein efficiency ratio (PER), feed efficiency ratio (FER), fecal loss, blood haemoglobin, liver a...
