Treatments had no effects on preweaning dry matter intake, feed conversion ratio, average daily gain, and weaning age.
Oil supplementations did not affect dry matter intake, feed conversion ratio and hot carcass weight (P > 0.05).
There was no effect of increasing levels of DDGS on daily gain, feed intake, feed conversion ratio (FCR) and carcass characteristics during the experimental period (P>0.05).
Weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion ratio, protein retention efficiency and specific growth rate were significantly affected by dietary CGL contents.
The productive performance of frogs was assessed by weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion, specific growth rate and survival by 90 days.
Other nutritional factors include protein, which, as an essential component of the matrix of bone, must be provided by a combination of dietary intake and conversion from other tissues.
Lambs fed diets with greater concentrate level (80%) significantly increased (P<0.05) DM intake, feed conversion, daily live weight gain, total and final live weight gains, cold carcass weight, compactness index, external carcass length, external chest depth, and buttocks circumference and did not modify (P>0.05) the cold dressing percentage, degree of carcass fat cover score and conformation.
Supplementation with live yeast did not affect (P>0.05) DM intake, feed conversion, daily live weight gain, total live weight gain and final live weight, although it increased cold carcass weight (P=0.0135) and external carcass length (P=0.0104) regardless of the concentrate feed proportion in the diet.
Propolis leading to significant increase in total antioxidant capacity, while significant decreases in feed intake, feed conversion ratio, catalase, glucose, and cholesterol levels was found.
Moreover, weight gain, specific growth rate, feed intake, feed conversion ratio, and survival rate of the exposed fish were poor when compared to the control fish group.
