Two experiments were conducted each with 768 Deka lb XL Single Comb
White Leghorn (SCWL) laying pullets for nine and eight 28-day periods to evaluate
the feeding value of yellow pea (YP) (Pisum sativum L. var. Miranda) without and
with, respectively, either 1.5 or 5% meat and bone meal (MB)...
A series of four experiments were conducted to study
sulfa residues with market turkeys and to observe the
repletion, depletion and possible recycling effect from
reused litter.
In the first experiment, sulfaquinoxaline (S.Q.) was
fed at 0.015% level from 8 to 16 weeks of age. No significant
effects were observed...
I. Performance and Carcass Quality of Broilers Raised on
Wire Flooring With and Without Padded Roosts
Two experiments were performed with broilers raised on
wire flooring with and without padded roosts to study the
effects of bird performance and carcass quality. Each
experiment had 480 straight-run commercial broilers
divided equally...
Five experiments were conducted with commercial broilers to study the effects of feeding yellow pea (Pisum sativum L. var. Miranda) diets with and without supplementation. Mean body weights and feed conversion for broilers fed 0, 25, 50 and 65% of soybean crude protein (CP) substituted with yellow pea (YP) protein...
Three experiments were conducted to evaluate the various
methods and application rates of ferrous sulfate-heptahydrate in
the control of atmospheric ammonia in an enclosed broiler house.
The first experiment was conducted to determine the optimal
rate of application of ferrous sulfate-heptahydrate on built-up
litter. Ferrous sulfate was applied on built-up...
Five experiments were conducted to investigate the
effect of dietary fish meal on the incidence of Sudden Death
Syndrome (SDS) in broiler chickens. Growth, feed
efficiency, total mortality and mortality due to SDS were
evaluated. Necropsy examination was performed on broilers
suspected of dying from SDS. Liver lipid and fatty...
