phosphorus (p) is a macro mineral in broiler nutrition. in growing broilers, besides its requirement for proper bone development, it is also involved in almost all metabolic processes. poor p availability results in decreased productivity and poor health status.phosphorus availability from plant derived feeds is affected by an anti-nutritional factor “phytate”, which forms a variety of insolubl...

A digestibility trial was conducted to examine the effect of feeding rate on dry matter, gross energy, crude protein and phosphorus digestibility in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). Duplicate groups of fish were fed 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.25 and 1.9% BW/day. The faeces were collected by Guelph-type collectors for five successive days. Dry matter, protein and phosphorus digestibility’s wer...

Twenty eight lactating buffaloes were used in a completely randomized design with 2×2 factorial arrangement of four experimental diets including low protein–low energy (LP-LE), low protein–high energy (LP-HE), high protein–low energy (HP-LE) and high protein–high energy (HP-HE). Results showed that the HP-HE diet recorded the highest digestibility coefficients of CP, EE, NFE, nutritive values, ...

effect of electron beam irradiation on degradability coefficients and ruminal- postruminal digestibility of dry matter and crude protein of soybean meal, canola meal and lathyrus sativus seed, irradiated at doses of 50, 100 and 150 kgy was investigated. ruminal degradability of dry matter and crude protein was determined by in situ method using two cannulated holstein heifers. ruminal- postrumi...

three groups of 11 new zealand white (nzw) rabbit does, each were reared from 12 weeks of age on iso-energetic diets containing 16, 14 or 12% crude protein (cp) were used to study influences on productive performance, digestibility, some carcass traits, haematological, biochemical and hormonal parameters of rabbit does. the results showed rabbits fed on 16% protein diet had heavier body weights...

information on different rangeland plants’ nutritive values during variousphonological stages is of importance for the rangelands management. this information helpsrangeland managers to choose proper grazing times to achieve higher animal performancewith no detrimental effects on the rangeland vegetations. effects of various plant parts’phenological stages and vegetation types on reserve carboh...

quality of protein fractions, according to cornell net carbohydrate and protein system (cncps), and digestibility coefficients, using tilley and terry procedure, of the fresh and ensiled amaranth (amaranthus hypochondriacus) forage were assessed. the concentration of crude protein (cp) and true protein (tp) in the fresh forage, were respectively 116 and 70 g/kg of dm. soluble protein (sp) and a...
