the present study was carried out to determine the effects of fish oil long-chain fatty acids and thyme essence supplementation on performance and carcass traits in mahabadi goat kids. twenty-eight mahabadi goat kids (average initial bw of 17/8 ± 2/8 kg, 4-5mo) were randomly assigned to four treatments of: 1. control (basal diet), 2. 0.2% thyme essence, 3. 2% fish oil, and 4. 2% fish oil +0.2% ...

an experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of biogen probiotic additives on growth performance of common carp, cyprinus carpio. four practical diets containing 0 (control) , 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 % biogen probiotic were used to feed fish. seventy-two juvenile common carp (65 ? 3.5g) were randomly distributed between 12 fiberglass tanks of 500 l capacity. during 60 days of feeding trial, the...

Eleven diets (D1-D11), designated as treatments (T1-T11), supplemented with different levels of inorganic phosphorus (P) (Ca2PO4) were fed to Heterobranchus bidorsalis (10.8 ±0.02 g) to determine the optimum P requirement. D1 D11 contained total P of 10.2, 10.4, 11.0, 11.9, 12.3, 12.6, 13.4, 13.9, 14.2 14.7 and 15.4 g kg respectively. After 84 days of feeding trial, there was increase in fish g...

In a previous study we showed that feeding fish meal significantly increased muscle long chain n-3 fatty acids (FA) and hot carcass weight. In this study we compared the effect of fish meal and fish oil on increasing muscle long-chain FA. We also investigated whether the increase in carcass weight was due to the effect of dietary enrichment of muscle long-chain n-3 FA on muscle membrane phospho...

an experiment was conducted on broiler chickens to study the effects of conjugated linoleic acid (cla), fish oil, both at 7% of the diet, or their mixtures at 3.5% of the diet, on the performance, carcass traits and intestinal morphology of broiler chickens. the chicks fed with 7% fish oil or 7% cla diets, were found to have an inferior weight gain in grower and finisher phases, respectively. a...

POPOVA, T., P. MARINOVA, V. BANSKALIEVA and V. VASILEVA, 2008. Content and fatty acid composition of different fat depots of lambs receiving fish oil supplemented diet. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 14: 100-107 Two groups of 7 animals (age 75 days) each of local Zapadnostaroplaninska sheep breed were fed for 28 days controlled iso-nitrogenous diets, containing either no added fat (control) or fish oil ...

The ongoing decline in abundance and diversity of shark stocks, primarily due to uncontrolled fishery exploitation, is a worldwide problem. An additional problem for the development of conservation and management programmes is the identification of species diversity within a given area, given the morphological similarities among shark species, and the typical disembarkation of processed carcass...
