The study tested a 10% dietary inclusion of Macadamia nut oil cake (MOC) fortified with exogenous enzymes on nutrient digestibility and nitrogen balance in growing pigs. The diets included a commercial maize–soybean pig grower control and a 10% MOC diluted…
A trial was conducted to determine the total rumen degradable protein intake (RDPI) required to maximise the digestible organic matter intake (DOMI) of beef cows consuming low quality grass hay from the northern variation of Cymbopogon–Themeda pasture type. Thirty-five pregnant…
The aim of this study was to determine the opinions of veterinarians providing clinical services in the northeast Anatolia region regarding the compliance of enterprises in the region with animal welfare standards. A survey was sent to veterinarians working in…
This study investigated the effects of incremental dietary levels of marula seed cake (MSC) in partial replacement of soyabean meal (SBM) and maize on growth performance, viscera macromorphometry, carcass traits, and haemato-biochemistry of broiler chickens during the starter, grower, and…
A solar power-assisted system was developed and installed to create optimum, healthy environmental conditions inside the animal house. An improved animal house of 48 m2 including a manger and urine collection system was selected. The developed system consists of two…
Brucellosis is an important, highly contagious, bacterial zoonotic disease that has economic and public health implications. It is caused by various Brucella species with a wide host range including livestock, wildlife, other terrestrial animals, and humans. Despite the availability of…
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the inclusion of chia flour (Salvia hispanica L.) as a substitute for pork fat in formulations of fishburgers made with Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Five formulations, one control (without…
The proximate chemical composition, mineral, fatty acid, and amino acid profiles of Nigella seed meal (NSM) was determined. In addition, apparent (AAAU) and true (TAAU) amino acid utilization, and apparent (AMET) and true (TMET) metabolisability were determined using a force-feeding…
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of phytase and tannase addition in broiler diets on the growth performance and meat quality of broilers fed sorghum-based diets. Twelve experimental diets were formulated at three sorghum levels (0, 50, and 100%)…
The effect of increasing the non-protein nitrogen content of low-fibre finishing diets on the meat quality of South African Mutton Merino wether lambs was investigated. Four similar dietary treatments were formulated with different non-protein nitrogen contents (16.6 g/kg, 28.3 g/kg,…
This study was conducted to determine the characteristics of cedar honey, which is an important honeydew honey produced on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey. The geographical classification of the honey was determined by applying carbon isotope, honey colour, aromatic compound,…
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of substituting urea and rice bran with mulberry or a mixture of mulberry and Leucaena in the diet on growth rate, feed intake, nutrient digestibility, nitrogen balance, rumen fermentation, estimated…
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of seven different types of additives on the production performance and economic benefits of piglets at the nursery stage. A total of 2806 piglets, at ~21 days of age, were…
The study assessed the effect of total replacement of maize with raw or heat-treated cassava tuber meal (CTM) on egg shelf life, welfare indicators, and physiological and carcass traits of laying jumbo quail hens. Two hundred and forty, six-week-old quail…
Carcass characteristics and primal pork cuts of local pig breeds are rarely documented, therefore, the current study was conducted to establish the relation between incremental levels of Amarula oil cake (AOC), carcass traits, primal pork cuts, and relative internal organ…
The study was conducted to investigate the different rearing systems on growth performance and meat quality of Wuding chickens (local native breeds in Yunnan Province of P. R. China). A total of 240, 70-day-old Wuding chickens with similar weight were…
Young animals are more susceptible to temperature; mild cold stress results in body damage and decreased productivity. Some studies have demonstrated that minor damage caused by hypothermia can be self-recovering, but this mechanism remains to be explored. Thirty Rongchang piglets…
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of safflower oil supplementation in quail diets on growth performance, blood antioxidant status, caecal short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) concentrations, and tibia–femur biomechanical properties. A total of 180 one-day-old quail chicks…
The aim of the study was to determine the effect of plumage colour and sex on growth, slaughter-carcass, and meat quality characteristics of Japanese quails. The effect of plumage colour on live weight values from hatching to sixth week was…
The Indonesian Kacang goat (Capra hircus) is fecund and is perfect for tropical countries but its production and population have not been optimised. Livestock reproductive improvement requires hormone monitoring. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and radio-immuno assay (RIA) are required…
