Advantages of pelleted feeds in terms of storage, transportation and lower costs compared to natural fresh feed justified the replacement of artificial feeds instead of natural ones partially on maturation performances. This study comprised nine treatments (with three replications) including control treatment: polychaete worm (Perinereis nuntia), Squid and calf liver (natural feed); T1: pellet ...

in order to determination of ileum apparent and true digestibility of two samples of poultry by product meal, an experiment was conducted with a total of 60 day-old broiler chicks, ross 308 strain. poultry by-product meal was prepared from two slaughter house in alborz province. samples were sent to laboratory for determination of chemical analysis. the birds received commercial broiler starter...

This study aimed to improve the quality of cryopreserved goat semen for artificial insemination by the addition of cattle seminal plasma crude protein. Semen collected from cattle and centrifuged to obtain seminal plasma. Then it was purified to obtain the crude protein. The diluent used in this study was milk-yolk. There were three groups, control group without crude protein (P0), the addition...

some factors affecting crude protein balance (cpb), as a measure of efficiency, were studied using 2824 records of 501 lactating holstein cows. the cpb (kg d-1) was calculated as crude protein (cp) intake (kg) minus cp yield (kg). two different statistical methods including principal components (pcs) and general linear model analyses were used to study the effects of different factors. crude pr...

changes in dietary electrolyte balance influence the metabolic fate of protein and many amino acids. furthermore, acid-base condition is achieved in part by the alteration of dietary amino acids pattern and quantity. therefore, a trial was conducted in a completely randomized design to evaluate performance, carcass characteristics, plasma electrolyte and uric acid concentrations of 19 and 28-da...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of different levels of crude protein and probiotic in diets on performance, egg quality  and blood biochemical and immunity parameters of laying hens. a completely randomized design with factorial method (2×4) was conducted in which two levels of crude protein (nrc and 10% lower than nrc recommendation) and 4 levels of probiotic (0, .025%, 0...
