This study was conducted to investigate the production and processing technology of common ryegrass screenings and to determine
the nutritive value of these screenings for sheep. The animal response
to them was assessed when the sheep were fed on the screenings
alone and in combination with other feedstuffs.
Four in...
Objectives of this study were to ascertain the effect of fat
and urea, used alone or in combination, on rumen cellulose digestion
in vitro.
A closed in vitro system (24 hour digestion) was used with a
5 x 4 factorial arrangement of treatments to study the effect of added
corn...
The records of a population of sex-linked dwarf layers
at the Oregon State Agricultural Experiment Station subjected
to an accelerated selection for hen-housed egg production at
40 weeks of age for a period of over 11 years were analyzed
for selection response, and for the estimation of genetic
parameters. The...
An evaluation was made on the nutritive value of tropical forages
and by-product feeds for rabbit production. Digestibility of nutrient
fractions, feed preferences, growth, combination of forages, supplementation
of micro and macro nutrients and/or effects of drying temperature
on the quality of four groups of forages, namely woody legumes
(WL),...
Three experiments were conducted to determine if a new variety of
triticale (Flora) would maintain seminal production of Medium White (MW)
breeder toms and to ascertain the minimal dietary crude protein (CP)
required by breeder toms. In Experiment 1, 4 dietary treatments with 10
males each, were fed ad libitum...
The reproductive performance of four strains of broiler breeder
males (BBM) were compared when housed in individual cages from 22 to
56 weeks of age (WOA), and fed Asi libitum 7% crude protein (CP) diets
with 1985, 2424, 2868 kilocalories (kcal) metabolizable (M) energy (E) per
kg of feed and...
Today's consumers have shown a greater concern in the relationship between dietary fat and human health. The demand for leaner meat is continuously on the rise. The reduction of fat deposits in the abdominal area of ready-to-cook fryers, considered a waste product in the poultry industry, has become a major...
A method is described for the determination of N-nitrosoproline
(NOPRO) in cured meat products. NOPRO was extracted with ethyl
acetate from a slurry of cured meat and water after the addition of
ammonium sulfamate and acid. This nitrosamino acid was converted
to the methyl ester and after further purification, it...
