There is concern that pigs, poultry and fish bred for human consumption and fed with infected MBM would eventually develop BSE or carry residual infectivity without disease.
In the males, the body weight, feed consumption and feed efficiency at different ages were influenced only by temperature (lower growth rate and feed intake at 31°C); no significant effects of the genotype at locus K nor genotype × temperature interaction were observed.
Their consumption pattern and feeding habit could indeed greatly contribute to their health, because in captivity, these animals develop many diseases [ 24].
The active power consumption and feed back to the grid by converter 1 and converter 2 are the same, denoted by (P_{ES}).
An active trust in technology (smart meters), markets (reputation management, sanction systems), and organizations (supervision, trust intermediaries) will become indispensable for the prospective ES to work, given the critical role of decentralized consumption and feed-in units for system performance.
The high Ca reduction level (2.3 g/kg reduction vs. PC) reduced FCR in the finisher phase, and reduced overall (42 d) calorie consumption and feed cost per kilogram weight gain, compared with the low Ca reduction level (P < 0.05).
Daily, weekly and total feed consumption and feed conversion was recorded automatically and calculated per pen.
Moench] is the most important staple cereal crop for millions of people living in West Africa and India, providing food for human consumption and feed grain for livestock.
As for cattle, detailed information about milk consumption and feed conversion efficiency in sheep would help to improve the management of artificially reared lambs.
These results also suggest candidate genes for the detected large-effect QTL which will improve our understanding of the biology of growth, feed consumption and feed utilisation in beef cattle.
