Studies investigating the effects of feeding diets
containing the yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae var.
boulardii (SCB), and a yeast culture (YC) containing S.
cerevisiae were conducted in market turkeys and Medium White
turkey breeder hens.
Increased utilization of dietary gross energy, N, Ca,
P, B, K, Mg, and Mn were observed...
Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the influence of a yeast-derived cell wall preparation (YCW) on forage intake and digestibility, ruminal fermentation characteristics, serum prolactin and prolactin stores, and milk production in beef cattle consuming high-alkaloid tall fescue straw. In Exp. 1, 16 Angus x Hereford ruminally cannulated steers (200...
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...
Palmaria mollis (Pacific dulse) is increasingly being used in land-based marine aquaculture. This work elucidates nutrient, inorganic carbon, light, salinity, and temperature requirements of P. mollis as food for abalone species. Nutrient additions every 5 to 7 days resulted in no significant difference in P. mollis growth compared with daily...
