Eight experiments, two with poults and six with chicks, were
undertaken to determine the requirement for supplemental folic acid
as related to protein level and major protein source. Protein levels
for chicks and poults were 21, and 28 or 28 and 32%, respectively.
Major protein sources were soybean meal, fish...
Several experiments involving broilers, chicks, layers, roosters,
poults and breeder turkeys were conducted with the primary objective
of examining research methods for evaluating poultry feed grains, their
additives and supplements. A secondary objective was to improve and
maximize the production responses of poultry fed locally grown grains.
Feed grain research...
A trial was conducted to determine the effects of increasing
levels of water restriction on body weight, feed consumption, feed
conversion and mortality of broiler chicks to eight weeks of age.
In addition, the effects of water restriction on water:feed ratios,
water consumption per pound of body weight and on...
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)...
I. THE EFFECT OF FEEDING PROGRAMS ON REPRODUCTIVE TRAITS AND
SELECTED BLOOD CHEMISTRIES OF CAGED BROILER BREEDER MALES:
1. FEED RESTRICTION LEVELS:
The effects of five different feeding levels (136, 125, 113,
102, and 91 g/male/day of a 13.1% crude protein (CP), 3167 kcal ME/kg
feed) on the reproductive traits...
The objective of this work was to define the effects of
dietary energy intake on broiler fat deposition and
metabolism. Fatty broilers are one of the major problems in
the broiler industry.
The effects of changing calorie to protein (Cal/Pr)
ratios, and the addition of cellulose or dried distiller's byproduct...
