The aim was to evaluate the effects on egg production of feeding raw versus sprouted sorghum (Sorghum bicolor)–soybean (Glycine max) oil cake diets fortified with exogenous enzymes to red and white Amberlink layers (16 w in production). Birds were stocked…
Effects of incorporating full-fat Black Soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae meal (BSFLM) in 4-d sprouted cowpea-based grower and finisher broiler diets were evaluated in broilers. Chicks were raised in an open deep litter facility; 360 Ross 308 chicks started (0–21…
The study analyzed the impacts of two probiotics (Ecobiol® and GutCare®) on growth performance, carcass and cut yields, intestinal morphometry and lesion score, biochemical parameters, and short-chain fatty acid concentration in chickens using a challenge model combining coccidiosis vaccine and…
Integrated farming is an established agricultural practice aimed at increasing productivity per unit area by utilizing animal manure. However, there has been a growing concern regarding swine manure's potential as a disseminator of pathogens in the environment. Among these pathogens…
The current study was designed to evaluate the reliability of the interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA) as a screening test compared to intensive post-mortem inspection using agreement analyses. This study also aimed to determine the prevalence and risk factors of bovine…
The aim of this study was to determine whether the inclusion of a marine algae found in South African waters, Ulva lactuca, can reduce total gas and methane production in vitro when it replaces lucerne hay in a mixed sheep…
High embryonic mortality is concerning because of the effect on commercial ostrich farming. The number of viable chicks can be improved by appropriate interventions in the hatching chicks. Data from 2 683 fertile eggs were collected from the commercial, pair-bred…
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…
