The effects of dietary treatments on performance, bone quality and blood minerals were determined.
As there were generally no negative effects of dietary mycotoxin on performance, the efficacy of YCW as a mycotoxin adsorbent could not be assessed, but YCW alone had minimal effects on performance.
Food waste studies have been used for more than 40 years to assess nutrient intake, dietary quality, menu performance, food acceptability, cost, and effectiveness of nutrition education in the National School Lunch Program NSLPP).
Our objective was to study effects of CP reduction and phytase and/or xylanase inclusion in pig diets on enteric CH4 production, animal performance, dietary metabolizable energy content and nutrient utilization.
Forty Pelibuey × Katahdin intact male lambs (23.0 ± 1.8 kg initial shrunk weight) were used in an 84-day feeding trial (5 pens per treatment, randomized complete block design) to evaluate crude protein level (110, 140, 170, and 200 g/kg diet DM) in isocaloric diets (2.03 Mcal NEm/kg) on finishing-phase growth performance, dietary energetics and carcass traits.
Data were collected on dietary intake, cognitive performance, taste acuity, haemoglobin, erythrocyte zinc and plasma levels of zinc, vitamin C, β-carotene and retinol.
Since inflammation of the intestine in piglets not only impairs function and integrity of the gut but also affects growth performance, dietary strategies to inhibit the inflammatory process in the small intestine are in great demand.
Dr. McCambridge distinguishes between whey protein, which she considers to be a dietary supplement, and performance-enhancing substances like creatine and nitric oxide.
There were no differences in growth performance among dietary treatments.
