The current study examined the combined effects of feeding rates and feeding types on the water quality, growth performance, digestive enzymes, blood parameters, and liver antioxidant enzymes of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fingerlings reared under a biofloc system. A 3 × 2 factorial...

This experiment was conducted to study the effects of different feeding programs on growth and gonad development, sensory quality and nutritional quality of sea urchin (Strongylocentrotus intermedius). Experiment 1: a feed group (fed with formula feed) and a kelp group (fed with kelp) were set up...

Objectives: Feeding height is crucial for the expression of natural behavior and animal welfare of captive birds. However, literatures about this issue are unavailable so far. This study is to explore the optimal feeding height of caged Blue-eared Pheasant (Crossoptilon auritum), which is a class...

In this study, we developed a feeding simulation using the fish schooling behavior model to evaluate growth differences from the feeding spatial distribution. In the proposed simulation, feeding behavior was modeled using the fish schooling model to simulate the amount of feed consumed by each...

Three experimental groups with different feeding frequencies, different feeding rates and compensatory feeding were set up to study their effects on the growth of Micropterus salmoides. The results showed that different feeding rates of 2%, 3% and 4% had no significant effects on the growth of M....

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of shed feeding and semi-shed feeding patterns on milk quality, rumen fermentation and serum antioxidant and immune indices of Jersey cattle in the Tibetan Plateau. Twelve healthy Jersey cattle from plateau were randomly divided into two...

To precisely meet the nutritional requirements of sows during the stages of pregnancy and lactation, a precision feeding system was developed by using the intelligent sow feeder combined with a rule-based expert system and the Internet of Things (IoTs). The model of uncertain knowledge...

Increasing the availability and fulfillment of animal feed is important for the sustainability of the livestock business. Indigofera and Palm Kernel Meal (PKM) is a combination of tree legumes and by-products of the plantation industry that can be used as a complete feed. This study aimed to...

The influence of the sow diet on piglet feeding behavior is a relatively new topic of research in pig nutrition. The use of a flavour to link the taste of the sow and the weaner diet can benefit the sow by improving voluntary feed intake during lactation and provide a familiar taste to the young...

Wheat is the cereal grain of choice for Whole Grain Feeding (WGF) in poultry, despite the fact that globally maize is the most commonly used cereal grain. In this context, in the present study feeding of whole wheat to commercial broilers with two types of feeding systems was used, i.e., mixed and...
