Performance Characteristics and Carcass Yield of Indigenous Turkeys Fed Indom...iosrjce
This study evaluated the performance of turkey poults fed indomie waste (IW) based-diet. A total of
one hundred and forty-four (144) local strain of turkey poults were allotted to four dietary treatments in which
indomie waste was used to replace maize at 0%, 33.33%, 66.67%, and 100% levels, representing treatments one
to four (T1- T4) respectively. Each treatment was replicated three times with 12 poults per replicate using the
Completely Randomized Design (CRD). The study lasted for eight weeks. The initial weights of the poults were
taken while the final weight record was taken at the end of the study. The feed intake record was taken daily and
computed as total feed consumed per bird at the end of the study while weight gain, feed conversion ratio and
feed cost were calculated. Three birds were randomly selected from each replicate for carcass and organ
evaluation and were expressed as percentages of the body weight. The result showed that the IW significantly
(p< 0.05) affected the average weight gain and improved feed conversion ratio. The cost of feed per kg
decreased with increasing levels of IW in the diet. Significant differences were not observed in the carcass and
organ except in the breast yield. The lowest cost of feed was obtained at 100% inclusion level. The reduction in
feed cost is an advantage to the farmer who desires low cost of production. It was evident that IW could be
incorporated into the diet of local strain of turkey poults up to 100% level without any deleterious effect on the
performance of the turkeys, however, the 66.67% replacement which led to higher final body weight and better
feed conversion is recommended.

The study evaluated the effect of prosopis africana seed coat meal (PASCM) on the economics of production and egg quality characteristics of three hundred (300) Nera brown layer chickens thatwere fed for 39 weeks. The birds were randomly allotted to 5 experimental diets with 3 replications of 20 birds each. The diets were formulated with the inclusion of PASCM at 0, 15, 20, 25 and 30% levels for treatments T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5, respectively and the data collected were subjected to analysis of Variance in a completely randomized design. Results obtained showed that in the economics of egg production, egg/hen/day, egg sales/day (₦) and profit/day (₦) decreased with increased PASCM inclusion in the diets. While most of the egg quality parameters were affected (P < 0.05) by the dietary treatments, except egg weight, egg length, shell thickness and egg shape index. The economics of production and egg quality characteristics showed that 20% PASCM inclusion level resulted in optimum production and hence this level is recommended for adoption.

Nutritional and functional evaluation of wheat flour cookies supplemented with gram flour
The study supplemented wheat flour cookies with gram flour at levels of 0-50% and evaluated the nutritional properties. Cookies with higher levels of gram flour substitution had significantly increased protein, fat, fiber, ash and mineral contents. Physical properties like thickness and spread factor differed significantly with gram flour addition while width did not. Feeding the cookies to rats found that higher gram flour levels of 40-50% produced cookies with the best protein bioavailability. Overall, cookies with 30% substitution had acceptable properties compared to the control, while 40-50% gram flour cookies were best for protein bioavailability.
Site Effects on Energy, Phytonutrients and Anti-Nutrient Contents of Ruminant...Premier Publishers
Feed constitutes about 80% of the total livestock production cost in Nigeria. The problem is more critical during the dry season more especially for ruminants. This study was conducted to determine the effect of location on chemical composition of sugarcane peels as animal feed in Kano State, Nigeria. The three sugarcane peel samples used for the study were from three different locations namely; Kano, Kaduna and mixed sugarcane peel (Kano and Kaduna). Known weights of the peels were sun dried and determined in the laboratory for proximate, energy, pH and phytonutrients. Results showed that ether extract, nitrogen-free extract, and dry matter were influenced by the location. Energy values (3891. 34 – 4037.53kcal/kg) were also affected (P< 0.05) by location of the sugarcane peels meal. Crude protein (6.02 – 8.20%), crude fiber (29.99 – 30.22%) and ash were not significantly affected (P > 0.05) by location. The cellulose, hemicelluloses, NDF, ADF, and ADL of sugarcane peels meal were all significantly (P <0.05) affected by the location. The pH values (6.38 – 6.67) were significantly affected (P < 0.05) by location. The phytonutrients of all the components were not significantly affected (P > 0.05) by the location. Based on these findings, sugarcane peels meal from all the locations can serve as an alternative feed ingredient for ruminants, since the peels contained substantial amount of energy and protein. However, the peels meal can also be safe for ruminants’ feedings because it contained small amounts of anti-nutritional factors.
This study investigated the effects of partially substituting wheat flour with okara flour (soybean residue leftover from tofu production) on the physicochemical and protein quality of noodles. Noodles were produced with wheat flour substituted at levels of 5%, 16.25%, 20%, 27%, 35%, 38.75%, and 50% okara flour. As okara flour levels increased, protein, ash, fat, and fiber contents of the noodles increased while cooking time decreased and cooking losses increased. Protein quality analysis found the noodles provided adequate levels of essential amino acids. Sensory evaluation revealed noodles with 5% okara substitution were rated highest and even better than the control of 100% wheat flour. The study demonstrated okara flour

Effect of Replacement of Sweet Orange (Citrus Sinensis) Peel Meal with Maize ...IOSR Journals
This document summarizes a study that evaluated the effect of replacing maize offal with graded levels of sweet orange peel meal (SOPM) in diets for West African Dwarf goats. Sixteen goats were fed one of four diets containing 0%, 12.5%, 25%, or 50% SOPM for 84 days. Results showed no significant differences in nutrient digestibility or intake among the diets, except for ether extract intake which was lower for the 50% SOPM diet. The study concluded that SOPM can replace up to 50% of maize offal in goat diets without negatively impacting nutrient digestibility or intake.
Effect of dietary fibers from mango peels and date seeds on physicochemical p...IJMREMJournal
The present study aims at evaluating effects of dietary fibers of Mango peels (MP) and Date seeds (DS) on the
quality of Arabic bread (AB). MP was added at two levels (2% and 4%) and DS were at 4% and 6%, based on
flour weight. Results showed that DS is considered as a good source of dietary fiber compared to MP. Also, it was
found that MP at different levels improved the overall quality of AB. An adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system
(ANFIS) is used to study the properties AB with the different proportions of mango peel (M) and dates seed (D)
as inputs, and two output properties (crust color CC and crumb texture CT). Experimental validation runs were
conducted to compare the measured values and the predicted ones. The comparison shows that the adoption of
this neuro- modeling technique (i.e., ANFIS) achieved a satisfactory prediction accuracy of about 85%
ADDITION OF ORGANIC WASTE ON NILE TILAPIA (OREOCHROMIS NILOTICUS) COMMERCIAL ...IAEME Publication
Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is an important commodity in the aquaculture
of freshwater fish in Indonesia, apart from its distinctive taste but also a good protein
content for fulfilling community nutrition. However, the high demand for nile tilapia is
not enough just to rely on fishermen, so it takes effort to increase the growth rate of it.
This study aimed to determine the effect of shrimp waste and coconut pulp addition to
enhance protein retention, energy retention and growth rate of nile tilapia
(Oreochromis niloticus). This was an experimental study by means of completely
randomized design method. There were five treatments and four replications in each
treatment. The treatment used was the addition of shrimp waste and coconut pulp on
commercial feed. Two hundred nile tilapia were used in this study. The study was
conducted for 30 days by feeding three times a day. The research data were analyzed
using ANOVA and Duncan. Based on the results of the study, it can be seen that the
addition of 30% shrimp waste and coconut pulp flour to nile tilapia commercial feed
(Oreochromis niloticus) significantly affected the energy retention value of 12,050%,
protein retention of 21 245% and growth rate of 1.471%. Adding organic waste to
commercial fish feed can boost the growth rate of nile tilapia.
Valorization of Cheese whey To “Bio”-value added food Products with Industria...AI Publications
Cheese whey is a by-product liquid stream that is produced during cheese or casein production process after casein coagulation by enzymes and/or acids. Milk production and processing is increasing continuously, with cheese making being the most abundant dairy product. Thinking that surplus CW’s biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5) varies from 35.000 to 55.000 mg O2/L and the total worldwide production is estimated at about 180 to 190 million tons/year, its disposal in the environment, could arise several environmental issues. So, valorization of cheese whey to functional value-added products of high industrial interest and nutritional value (such as proteins, oligosaccharides and carotenoids employing either chemical or bio-catalyzed processes), could possibly constitute a novel waste management option while promoting circular economy principles.
The document discusses balancing animal feed rations. It identifies the key steps in balancing a ration as determining the nutrient needs of the animal, identifying available feedstuffs, determining the nutrient content of feeds, and calculating the amounts of each feedstuff to meet nutrient requirements. Feed analysis provides nutritional information that is important for developing balanced rations by determining the protein, energy, minerals and other nutrient content of feeds. The Pearson square method is described as a simple way to calculate ration formulations to meet an animal's nutrient needs based on available feed ingredients.
Nutritional evaluation of honey bee slum gum meal as replacement for maize in...Alexander Decker
This study investigated the potential of using honey bee slum gum meal (HBSM) to replace maize in diets for growing rabbits. Thirty rabbits were fed one of three diets: a control diet with no HBSM, or diets with 25% or 50% of maize replaced by HBSM. Replacing 25% of maize with HBSM did not significantly affect rabbit growth performance or nutrient digestibility. However, replacing 50% of maize with HBSM resulted in lower final weights, daily weight gains, and carcass weights compared to the other diets. The results suggest that HBSM can replace up to 25% of maize in rabbit diets without negatively impacting
Microbiological and Physicochemical Properties of Wholegrain Millet Sourdough...Premier Publishers
This study enumerates the bacterial and fungal isolates responsible for the fermentation of millet sourdoughs, evaluates the antimicrobial safety of the sourdough starters and the quality of bread produced thereafter. The individual flours were spontaneously fermented in the ratio 1:1 (w/v) for 48 h. At the end of the fermentation, the microbial consortium of the sourdough meals obtained were determined and also screened for antagonistic activity against selected pathogens. All the sourdough starters revealed strong clearance zones against the selected food borne pathogens with values ranging from 5.00 to 16.1 mm. The proximate compositions of the breads were improved by the sourdough fermentation process compared with the raw flour. The moisture content of flour determined ranged from 7.48 to 11.20% while the protein, fat, ash, crude fibre and carbohydrate were 9.53 to 12.4%; 2.13 to 2.78%; 0.82 to 2.87%; 2.10 to 4.67% and 71.83 to 76.33% respectively. The carbohydrate content of the breads reduced with fermentation and ranged from 63.10% to 73.33% while the protein, ash, crude fibre and fat content increased and ranged from 11.57 to 15.31%; 2.39 to 3.08%; 1.76 to 3.62% and 7.15 to 12.32% respectively. The highest value for calcium 48.86 mg/100 g was exhibited by pearl millet bread. Sensory evaluation showed significant difference (P < 0.05) in the appearance, taste, colour, aroma and texture of the bread samples. The findings have suggested that indigenous wholegrain cereals could be employed for bread production, which has the potential to improve the nutritional profile and safety of cereal fermented foods which forms the bulk of the diet of rural dwellers in sub-Saharan Africa.

This study evaluated the effects of two concentrate levels (low vs. high) and two slaughter body weights (35 kg vs. 42 kg) on growth performance, carcass traits, and meat quality of Barbarine lambs fed an oat hay-based diet. Lambs that received the high concentrate level had higher average daily gain, carcass yields, and subcutaneous fat thickness, but lower carcass meat proportion, compared to those on the low concentrate level. Increasing slaughter body weight from 35 kg to 42 kg improved carcass yields and increased carcass adiposity, but did not affect carcass meat proportion or shoulder tissue composition. Slaughter body weight had an effect on meat color and fatty acid composition.

An experiment was carried out to determine the effects of dietary supplementation of Albizia lebbeck seed oil (ALO) on the fatty acid composition of weaner rabbits.50 weaned rabbits of mixed breed and sexes, aged between 6-7 weeks with an average initial body weight of 460 ± 1.3 were randomly assigned into five dietary treatments of ten rabbits per group; each group was further divided into 5 replicates consisting of two rabbits each. Basal diet was formulated to meet the nutritional requirements of rabbits according to NRC (1977). Rabbits in treatment 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 were supplemented with ALO at 0 %, 0.1%, 0.2 %, 0.3 % and 0.4 % respectively. Feed and water was given ad libitum and the experiment lasted for 12 weeks.The results showed that significant differences (P<0.05) were observed in saturated fatty acid (SFA), polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) and omega-6/omega -3 ratio (n-6:n-3) values obtained. Rabbits fed diet containing 0.4 % ALO had the highest PUFA value (54.17 %), followed by T4 (53.01 %), T3 (45.13 %), T2 (37.61 %) and T1 (26.93 %) respectively. Similarly (n-6:n-3) composition in T5 (3.65 %) increased in T5 fed 0.4 % ALO compared with T1 (1.38 %) fed 0% ALO.Antherogenic index were significantly (P<0.05) different among the treatments. It can be concluded that supplementation of ALO at 0.4 % highly influenced the composition of fatty acid in rabbit meat by Alagbe, J.O and Akintayo - Balogun Omolere. M 2020.

This document discusses residual feed intake (RFI) in cattle. It defines RFI as the difference between an animal's actual feed intake and its expected intake based on size and growth. RFI values are obtained through long-term feeding trials and provide a measure of feeding efficiency. Selection for low RFI cattle that are more efficient is shown to reduce methane emissions by 15-30% and manure production by 15-20%, providing economic and environmental benefits. However, the high costs of RFI testing and measuring individual pasture intake present barriers to widespread adoption by cattle producers.

The three sugarcane peel samples used for the study were from three different locations namely; Kano, Kaduna and mixed sugarcane peel (Kano and Kaduna). Known weights of the peels were sun dried and determined in the laboratory for proximate, energy, pH and phytonutrients. Results showed that ether extract, nitrogen-free extract, and dry matter were influenced by the location. Energy values (3891. 34 – 4037.53kcal/kg) were also affected (P< 0.05) by location of the sugarcane peels meal. Crude protein (6.02 – 8.20%), crude fiber (29.99 – 30.22%) and ash were not significantly affected (P > 0.05) by location. The cellulose, hemicelluloses, NDF, ADF, and ADL of sugarcane peels meal were all significantly (P <0.05) affected by the location. The pH values (6.38 – 6.67) were significantly affected (P < 0.05) by location. The phytonutrients of all the components were not significantly affected (P > 0.05) by the location. Based on these findings, sugarcane peels meal from all the locations can serve as an alternative feed ingredient for ruminants, since the peels contained substantial amount of energy and protein. However, the peels meal can also be safe for ruminants’ feedings because it contained small amounts of anti-nutritional factors.
This study investigated the effects of partially substituting wheat flour with okara flour (soybean residue leftover from tofu production) on the physicochemical and protein quality of noodles. Noodles were produced with wheat flour substituted at levels of 5%, 16.25%, 20%, 27%, 35%, 38.75%, and 50% okara flour. As okara flour levels increased, protein, ash, fat, and fiber contents of the noodles increased while cooking time decreased and cooking losses increased. Protein quality analysis found the noodles provided adequate levels of essential amino acids. Sensory evaluation revealed noodles with 5% okara substitution were rated highest and even better than the control of 100% wheat flour. The study demonstrated okara flour
This document discusses assessing agro wastes as alternative ingredients for fish feed formulation.

Effect of Replacement of Sweet Orange (Citrus Sinensis) Peel Meal with Maize ...IOSR Journals
This document summarizes a study that evaluated the effect of replacing maize offal with graded levels of sweet orange peel meal (SOPM) in diets for West African Dwarf goats. Sixteen goats were fed one of four diets containing 0%, 12.5%, 25%, or 50% SOPM for 84 days. Results showed no significant differences in nutrient digestibility or intake among the diets, except for ether extract intake which was lower for the 50% SOPM diet. The study concluded that SOPM can replace up to 50% of maize offal in goat diets without negatively impacting nutrient digestibility or intake.
Effect of dietary fibers from mango peels and date seeds on physicochemical p...IJMREMJournal
The present study aims at evaluating effects of dietary fibers of Mango peels (MP) and Date seeds (DS) on the
quality of Arabic bread (AB). MP was added at two levels (2% and 4%) and DS were at 4% and 6%, based on
flour weight. Results showed that DS is considered as a good source of dietary fiber compared to MP. Also, it was
found that MP at different levels improved the overall quality of AB. An adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system
(ANFIS) is used to study the properties AB with the different proportions of mango peel (M) and dates seed (D)
as inputs, and two output properties (crust color CC and crumb texture CT). Experimental validation runs were
conducted to compare the measured values and the predicted ones. The comparison shows that the adoption of
this neuro- modeling technique (i.e., ANFIS) achieved a satisfactory prediction accuracy of about 85%
ADDITION OF ORGANIC WASTE ON NILE TILAPIA (OREOCHROMIS NILOTICUS) COMMERCIAL ...IAEME Publication
Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is an important commodity in the aquaculture
of freshwater fish in Indonesia, apart from its distinctive taste but also a good protein
content for fulfilling community nutrition. However, the high demand for nile tilapia is
not enough just to rely on fishermen, so it takes effort to increase the growth rate of it.
This study aimed to determine the effect of shrimp waste and coconut pulp addition to
enhance protein retention, energy retention and growth rate of nile tilapia
(Oreochromis niloticus). This was an experimental study by means of completely
randomized design method. There were five treatments and four replications in each
treatment. The treatment used was the addition of shrimp waste and coconut pulp on
commercial feed. Two hundred nile tilapia were used in this study. The study was
conducted for 30 days by feeding three times a day. The research data were analyzed
using ANOVA and Duncan. Based on the results of the study, it can be seen that the
addition of 30% shrimp waste and coconut pulp flour to nile tilapia commercial feed
(Oreochromis niloticus) significantly affected the energy retention value of 12,050%,
protein retention of 21 245% and growth rate of 1.471%. Adding organic waste to
commercial fish feed can boost the growth rate of nile tilapia.
Valorization of Cheese whey To “Bio”-value added food Products with Industria...AI Publications
Cheese whey is a by-product liquid stream that is produced during cheese or casein production process after casein coagulation by enzymes and/or acids. Milk production and processing is increasing continuously, with cheese making being the most abundant dairy product. Thinking that surplus CW’s biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5) varies from 35.000 to 55.000 mg O2/L and the total worldwide production is estimated at about 180 to 190 million tons/year, its disposal in the environment, could arise several environmental issues. So, valorization of cheese whey to functional value-added products of high industrial interest and nutritional value (such as proteins, oligosaccharides and carotenoids employing either chemical or bio-catalyzed processes), could possibly constitute a novel waste management option while promoting circular economy principles.

Feed analysis provides nutritional information that is important for developing balanced rations by determining the protein, energy, minerals and other nutrient content of feeds. The Pearson square method is described as a simple way to calculate ration formulations to meet an animal's nutrient needs based on available feed ingredients.
Nutritional evaluation of honey bee slum gum meal as replacement for maize in...Alexander Decker
This study investigated the potential of using honey bee slum gum meal (HBSM) to replace maize in diets for growing rabbits. Thirty rabbits were fed one of three diets: a control diet with no HBSM, or diets with 25% or 50% of maize replaced by HBSM. Replacing 25% of maize with HBSM did not significantly affect rabbit growth performance or nutrient digestibility. However, replacing 50% of maize with HBSM resulted in lower final weights, daily weight gains, and carcass weights compared to the other diets. The results suggest that HBSM can replace up to 25% of maize in rabbit diets without negatively impacting
Microbiological and Physicochemical Properties of Wholegrain Millet Sourdough...Premier Publishers
This study enumerates the bacterial and fungal isolates responsible for the fermentation of millet sourdoughs, evaluates the antimicrobial safety of the sourdough starters and the quality of bread produced thereafter. The individual flours were spontaneously fermented in the ratio 1:1 (w/v) for 48 h. At the end of the fermentation, the microbial consortium of the sourdough meals obtained were determined and also screened for antagonistic activity against selected pathogens. All the sourdough starters revealed strong clearance zones against the selected food borne pathogens with values ranging from 5.00 to 16.1 mm. The proximate compositions of the breads were improved by the sourdough fermentation process compared with the raw flour. The moisture content of flour determined ranged from 7.48 to 11.20% while the protein, fat, ash, crude fibre and carbohydrate were 9.53 to 12.4%; 2.13 to 2.78%; 0.82 to 2.87%; 2.10 to 4.67% and 71.83 to 76.33% respectively. The carbohydrate content of the breads reduced with fermentation and ranged from 63.10% to 73.33% while the protein, ash, crude fibre and fat content increased and ranged from 11.57 to 15.31%; 2.39 to 3.08%; 1.76 to 3.62% and 7.15 to 12.32% respectively. The highest value for calcium 48.86 mg/100 g was exhibited by pearl millet bread. Sensory evaluation showed significant difference (P < 0.05) in the appearance, taste, colour, aroma and texture of the bread samples. The findings have suggested that indigenous wholegrain cereals could be employed for bread production, which has the potential to improve the nutritional profile and safety of cereal fermented foods which forms the bulk of the diet of rural dwellers in sub-Saharan Africa.

This study evaluated the effects of two concentrate levels (low vs. high) and two slaughter body weights (35 kg vs. 42 kg) on growth performance, carcass traits, and meat quality of Barbarine lambs fed an oat hay-based diet. Lambs that received the high concentrate level had higher average daily gain, carcass yields, and subcutaneous fat thickness, but lower carcass meat proportion, compared to those on the low concentrate level. Increasing slaughter body weight from 35 kg to 42 kg improved carcass yields and increased carcass adiposity, but did not affect carcass meat proportion or shoulder tissue composition. Slaughter body weight had an effect on meat color and fatty acid composition.

An experiment was carried out to determine the effects of dietary supplementation of Albizia lebbeck seed oil (ALO) on the fatty acid composition of weaner rabbits.50 weaned rabbits of mixed breed and sexes, aged between 6-7 weeks with an average initial body weight of 460 ± 1.3 were randomly assigned into five dietary treatments of ten rabbits per group; each group was further divided into 5 replicates consisting of two rabbits each. Basal diet was formulated to meet the nutritional requirements of rabbits according to NRC (1977). Rabbits in treatment 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 were supplemented with ALO at 0 %, 0.1%, 0.2 %, 0.3 % and 0.4 % respectively. Feed and water was given ad libitum and the experiment lasted for 12 weeks.The results showed that significant differences (P<0.05) were observed in saturated fatty acid (SFA), polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) and omega-6/omega -3 ratio (n-6:n-3) values obtained. Rabbits fed diet containing 0.4 % ALO had the highest PUFA value (54.17 %), followed by T4 (53.01 %), T3 (45.13 %), T2 (37.61 %) and T1 (26.93 %) respectively. Similarly (n-6:n-3) composition in T5 (3.65 %) increased in T5 fed 0.4 % ALO compared with T1 (1.38 %) fed 0% ALO.Antherogenic index were significantly (P<0.05) different among the treatments. It can be concluded that supplementation of ALO at 0.4 % highly influenced the composition of fatty acid in rabbit meat by Alagbe, J.O and Akintayo - Balogun Omolere. M 2020.

This document discusses residual feed intake (RFI) in cattle. It defines RFI as the difference between an animal's actual feed intake and its expected intake based on size and growth. RFI values are obtained through long-term feeding trials and provide a measure of feeding efficiency. Selection for low RFI cattle that are more efficient is shown to reduce methane emissions by 15-30% and manure production by 15-20%, providing economic and environmental benefits. However, the high costs of RFI testing and measuring individual pasture intake present barriers to widespread adoption by cattle producers.

Culture and production of Lucilia sericata Meigen (1826) larvae for rearing s...AbdullaAlAsif1
The fly larvae (Lucilia sericata) are being used as an alternative protein source in any kind of animal feed as it reduces the cost of preparation of feed. This current study focused on the physico-chemical and proximate properties of raw poultry waste, while this study also revealed the production process of fly larvae and the proximate composition of it. The poultry waste was collected from Suvro poultry farm, Sutiakhali, Mymensingh, then the physic-chemical properties of the raw poultry waste were determined using different procedures. Three treatments were considered for production of fly larvae, T 1 (3 kg), T 2 (6 kg) and T 3 (9 kg) in a 15 kg capacity tray with three replications. After production, the proximate composition were also measured of fly larvae. Physico-chemical properties such as, color, odor, texture, temperature, pH, total solids (TSS+TDS), chemical oxygen demand, dissolved oxygen, alkalinity, available N, available P, and fiber in raw poultry waste were determined and presented. Proximate composition such as, moisture, total N, total P, available N, total Ca, ash and crude fiber were found in significant amount in the poultry waste. It was found that T 3 (1350±68g) produced highest volume of live maggot compared to the other treatments, but T 2 (17.50±1.10%) produced highest percentage volume. The proximate compositions of fly larvae were assessed and found 56.60±0.25% protein value in it, suggesting that fly larvae could be the protein replacer in fish feed. The result of this study revealed cheap protein source in aquaculture production, such as production and rearing of stinging catfish Heteropneustes fossilis, and the findings might be helpful for cost reduction in aquaculture operation.
The document discusses developments in nutrient requirements of chickens over the past five decades. Genetic selection has contributed 85-90% of production improvements, while advances in nutrition have contributed 10-15%. Precise nutrient requirements depend on bird genetics, sex, production stage, and environmental factors. Requirements have been defined by several agencies and continue to be refined. Advances include defining requirements for individual amino acids using the ideal protein concept, determining digestible nutrient levels in feed ingredients, and formulating least-cost diets. Future areas of focus are feed additives, alternatives to antibiotic growth promoters, and improving nutrient utilization efficiency.

The process of preserving duck eggs is generally salted eggs, with a distinctive
taste that is salty, but with a touch of technology and innovation, salted eggs can be
enjoyed with a variety of flavors including deer salted eggs. This salted egg is
expected to be a typical Merauke product produced from ducks and deer. But so far
there is no known nutrient content of salted eggs supplemented with deer fat oil and
bacterial contamination. Therefore the purpose of this study was to determine the
quality of nutrients, microbial contamination and cholesterol in deer salted eggs. The
study was conducted at the Musamus University and BBIA Bogor livestock laboratory.
The results showed that the nutritional value of deer salted eggs was in line with the
Indonesian National Standard of Protein 14.5%, 15.3% fat, carbohydrate 3.46%,
phosphorus 206 mg, cholesterol 242 mg, and Negative Salmonella SP. Fat oil extract
and venison in salted eggs can increase the content of unsaturated fatty acids such as

A study was carried out to evaluate the nutritive value and enzyme supplementation of different sources of energy in broiler diets on the growth performance and heamatological parameters of broiler chickens supplemented with Mazigrain® enzyme within the treated groups. Five isonitrogenous and isocaloric diets less (23.17 % CP; 2831 Kcal/ME and 21.73 % CP; 2929 Kcal/ME) for the broiler starter (0 - a month) and finisher phases (5–8 months) respectively were formulated. Diet 1(maize based diet) served in as the control while diets 2, 3, 4 and 5 were supplemented with sorghum, pearl millet, cassava and sweet potatoes based diets separately. A sum of 225 day-old NAPRI X broiler chicks were haphazardly distributed to the five treatments. Every treatment comprised of 45 broilers with three repeats of fifteen birds each in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). The general linear model protocol of S.A.S. 9.0. was used to analyze the collected data. Among the dietary groups significant changes (P<0.05) was found utilizing a Tukey test. Enzyme along with various energy sources have noteworthy (P<0.05) changes on every one of the parameters (final weight, daily weight gain, feed conversion ratio, water intake, water to feed ratio and feed cost per kilogram weight gain) except for death rate at the starter phase. Broilers that had sorghum based diet had the best performance at starter stage (final weight; 627 g, weight gain; 576.85 g, feed cost/kg gain; ^ 187.95 k). At the finisher stage, sorghum supplemented with enzyme had the best feed conversion ratio (1.96) and feed cost/kg gain; ^ 171.15 k. The optimal performance characteristics were recorded for sorghum based diets. Feed cost / kg gain was the cheapest on birds fed sorghum based diet with enzyme supplementation which was comparable with those fed the maize based diet. However, the use of enzyme enhanced the performance of birds at both the starter and finisher phases.

This document discusses using insects as a protein source in poultry feed. It notes that poultry feed costs account for 75-80% of production costs, and alternative protein sources are needed. Insects are a promising option as they contain high quality protein and have a short lifecycle and high reproduction rate. Key insect species for poultry feed include black soldier flies, housefly larvae, silkworm pupae, and yellow mealworms. Insects have characteristics like nutrient content, conversion efficiency, and environmental benefits that make them suitable for use in poultry feed.
Livestock Production and Improvement in India: Problems and Opportunities in ...RUFORUM
This document discusses the livestock production and improvement scenario in India. It notes that India has the world's largest population of buffalo and is a major producer of milk, but that livestock productivity is low. It identifies opportunities to increase production through better animal health and disease control, addressing feed and fodder shortages, utilizing indigenous breeds, and adding value to milk. Overall, the document emphasizes the importance of the livestock sector for India's economic growth and development.

Editor's Notes
Located in South East Asia
Malaysia is hot and humid and this can lead to heat stress in birds. Can affect feed quality.
4,095 m
Heat stress – anything higher than 23oC
Chicken are raised under a semi intesinve system or an intensive system
In the semi intensive system – birds are allowed access outdoor and indoors . And also given water and feeders
In the instive system – birds are either raised in a closed barns like in Canada. In the open concept barn, birds are raised with walls that are made of wire mesh, which provides natural ventilation.
Poultry product consumption has been increasing . The per capita consumption in Malaysia is comparable to the US. Egg production also seen to rise. Due to the high population of muslim in Malaysia, pork consumption is low and food have to be certified halal.
Halal – food or meat that are prepared following the Islamic law
The 3 major poultry product consumed in Malaysia are broiler meat, eggs, and duck meat. The breeds are typically the same as Europe with the exception of the Malaysian Village Chicken which is a crossbreed of red jungle fowl and other European breeds. Consumers preffered yellow skin in broiler meat and brown egg
As food have to be halal, feed cannot be by product of pigs or carnivores with the exception of fish meal. Antibiotics must be prescribed by a vet and hormones are prohibited.
Halal slaughtering can only be performed by a practicing muslim that is certified for halal slaughtering. Equipment, tools and slaughtering plant must also be dedicated to halal slaughtering only. Water bath electrical stunner can be used to stun the birds.
Imported feedstuff and country of import
Source: Loh, 2004
The standard specification for poultry nutrition requirements are the same as Canada. Majority of the feedstuff consist of corn, soybean and fishmeal. 50% of the sbm is sourced locally but the rest of the ingredients are imported.
The price of poultry product in malaysia is controlled by the government, so marginal profit for producers are very low. So by finding alternative feed stuff, we could possible decrease feed cost.
Malaysia is the top producer of palm kernel. Palm kernel meal is a by product of the palm oil industry where oil is extracted either through expeller pressed or solvent extracted.
Source: Ibrahim, 2013
Palm kernel is high in CF and low in AA. But AA contents are highly available to birds. The essential AA needs to be supplement. As palm kenrel meal increases, feed intake increases reducting digestibility. Palm kernel meal can be fermented to increase digestibility. Beta manna in pkm also has similar structure to bio-mos which is a commercial prebiotic
Methionine 30% and lysine 50% of young chicks requirements
Coconut production in Malaysia is decreasing, neighboring countries such as Indonesia and phillipines are leading producers of coconut. Copra meal is a by product of the coconut oil industry. Coconut oil is extracted by expeller pressed then solvent extracted.
The quality of copra meal depends on the storage conditions and the drying process prior to oil extraction. The high humidity in Malaysia is a preferable condition for aflatoxin growth if stored more than 5 weeks. Cm is also high in fibre and low in essential aa. Also CM has a low bulk density and high water holding capacity which can negative affect the digestion of the birds as it increases the viscosity of the digesta leading to less digestion, lowering feed intake and nutrient availability.
Low bulk density results from the reduction of starch content of the endosperm
Used to make tapioca
If storage and drying process are not correct, mycotoxin and spoilage could be a problem
Cassava aka tapioca is a tuber plant that grows well in tropical countries and has good tolerance for poor soil. Although production has decreased in Malaysia, neighbouring countries such as Thailand and vietnam are major producers. Cassava does have hydrocyanide which decreases thyroxin production. But fermenting and drying cassava during processing can reduce the hydrocyanide content.
Cassava hasn’t been used much because of its low protein and high crude fibre content.
But by taking advantage of the whole plant, we can increase the CP and reduce the CF and HCN. A study showed that not only we can replace 25% of corn in layers’ diet, it improves the yolk colour as well as the leaves has high carotene content.
There are about 2000 species of edible insect indentified. Insects have a short life cycle and are cheap to grow. They can also convert low quality nutrient waste biomass into high quality nutrient sources. This process can also reduce waste and environmental pollution
Nutritional evaluation of four acridid species
Source: Anand et al. (2008)
Larvae meal worms fed to 7d old broiler chick did not negatively effect performance. There wasn’t palatability issues either. however, the protein content depend on the type of waste material used. Disease should also be considered as insects can be vectors of disease also if they can get regulatory approval.
Spirulina are multicellular cyanobacteria that are high and protein, vitamins and mineral. Spirulina has been widely used for human consumption for years. Spirulina c an be grown on animals waste. Spirulina can also increase yellowness of the chicken’s meat and yolk of the eggs. It also increases the redness of the meat which is beneficial to producers especially in Malaysia, as heat stressed chickens results in lighter colour and lower redness in birds.
These are the few alternative feedstuff that can be used to replace the conventional corn-soy diet. There are other ingredients that can be used to replace these ingredients such as rice bran, wheat bran and so on. As long as the ingredients are available for the entire production cycle of the bird. The risk of birds getting heat stressed is also high and these feed should work hand in hand with that.
As the quality of these feedstuffs are lower than the corn soy diet, birds will eat more of the diet to compensate for the nutrient. Therefore, the replacement diet should be a lot cheaper in order for returns to be higher.
