For sustainable aquaculture, the replacement of dietary fishmeal with plant protein is becoming more common because fishmeal resources are limited. However, in the case of carnivorous fish such as yellowtail (Seriola quinqueradiata), reducing the dietary fishmeal level often causes low feed intake. ...

Four experiments were conducted to determine the effect of mat feeding strategy on the growth performance, removal, and mortality of pigs after weaning. In exp. 1, 1,392 weanling pigs (initially 7.0 kg; approximately 24 d of age) were randomly allotted to 1 of 2 mat feeding treatments (mat feed vs. ...

Studies have shown that insect meals can partially or completely replace fish meal (FM) that are commonly used in aquaculture. Therefore, a 10-week feeding trail was done to test the potential impacts of replacement of FM with cricket meal (CM) on the growth performance, body composition, blood...

The poultry sector in Ghana has the potential to contribute significantly to domestic food and nutrition security. There is limited information regarding the knowledge of feed industry stakeholders on the presence of mycotoxins in poultry feed. This work was aimed at assessing the prevalence of...

Investment by the private sector in the commercial feed sector shows an improvement; however, the value chain of the poultry feed sector has not yet been mapped. This study was conducted in northern Ethiopia to assess poultry feed sources and feed value chain mapping. A multistage sampling...

Skipping breakfast is an irregular feeding behavior, typically in young people. In our previous study, we established a 4 h-delayed feeding protocol for rats as a breakfast-skipping model and showed that the 4 h-delayed feeding of a high-fat diet led to body weight gain in rats. Excess sucrose...

The purpose of the research is to determine the productivity of natural forage pastures of the Kazakh part of the Mangyshlak peninsula by the periods of their use, the chemical composition and nutritional value of the main types of forage plants, the yield of nutrients per unit area and feed...

Introduction: Compensatory growth is actually a physiological process in which the animal's potential, after a period of dietary restriction, can be exploited to increase growth and growth efficiency during the free feeding period (Hornick et al 2000). Compensatory growth is widely used today in...

Feed characteristics play an essential role in feed intake and utilisation. The objective of this research was to explore the effect of diet fed in the form of coarse meal (grits) and pelleted (granulated) forms on feeding behaviour, feed consumption (feed intake) and weight gain during fattening....

The current trial aimed to determine the impacts of fed goats with hydroponic fodder-based maize or barley rations on nutrient digestibility, growth and efficiency of consumed feed, and some blood constituents. Twenty-four post-weaned growing Beetal male kids (3 months of age with an initial body...
