1. Introduction. Because of its low cost per unit of nitrogen (N) compared with most sources of natural protein, urea (U) is typically the primary source of supplemental N in conventional steam-flaked corn-based finishing feedlot diets (Vasconcelos et al. 2009). Previous reports (Milton et al. 1997; Zinn et al. 2003) have shown that supplemental U has more positive effects on growth performance or dietary energy utilization when...

INTRODUCTION Rabbits are neglected farm animals for its smallest size, although it can supplement humans by meat, fur and hair. there animals are belonging to different species and strains which are different in their morphology, color, size, and production purpose. Rabbit's meat contains the highest crude protein content and the lowest fat, cholesterol and energy contents among the livestock animals....

I. INTRODUCTION The nutritional value of feed ingredients comprises all nutrients needed for maintenance and production of animals. This paper mainly focuses on the energy value of feed ingredients, which depends on the nutrient composition (starch, fat and protein), the efficiency of nutrient digestion and absorption in the intestinal tract, and the presence of anti-nutritional factors (ANFs). Although the composition of...

INTRODUCTION Cereal grains account for nearly half of the calories consumed by humans worldwide, and as such, form a key component in global food security. Documented grain post-harvest loss estimates worldwide differ by grain and by region, but typically range from about 2-10% and in extreme cases can be more than 50% (Lipton 1982; Greely 1986; Boxall 1998; Appiah et al. 2011). This comprises not only physical weight...

Introduction Escalating costs of typical swine feed ingredients such as corn and soybean meal has created a demand for producers to consider feeding diets containing higher levels of byproducts to nursery and finishing pigs to reduce feed cost. However, these alternative feed ingredients are generally higher in fiber and lower in dietary energy compared to the cereal grains normally utilized. This decrease in...

Introduction In recent years, the cost of energy for feed has increased, with increasing demand for cereals from the biofuels industries. It follows that there is currently pressure on feed manufacturers to maximise their efficiency of nutrient utilisation, particularly of energy but also phosphorous. The net result is that feed manufacturers are moved to consider use of feed additive enzymes such as xylanase for...

In Asia sugar can is an important cash crop. And in Pakistan its maturity time is very short ranging from 8 - 10 months from rest of the world. And most of its harvesting is done by folk methods. Leaves and pulps are cut down by hands and used as cattle feed. Due to the high content of sucrose it is also benifitial for Milk producing animals. However, the conventional method of storage is to dry and chop it without any amendments. I would like to receive...

Introduction Linseed (Linum usitatissimum) is an annual or biannual plant, one of the most useful crops, that has been cultivated as a commercial plant in over thirty countries all over the world (Karlovic & Andric 1996, Gabiana 2005). It yields seeds that mature 30-60 days after flowering (Matheson 1976), and which are rich source of both edible and non-edible oils. Containing about 40% of oil, the seeds have long been used in animal diet....

A stricter rule on livestock feed ingredients aimed at preventing mad cow disease will take effect next week, but cattle producers and other groups will have six months to comply, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said on Wednesday.
The new rule is designed to keep the livestock feed system free of cattle parts at greatest risk for spreading bovine spongiform encephalopathy, or mad cow disease.
The industry has until Oct. 26, 2009 to comply. FDA said it wanted to give...

For more than a decade, a barley named "Baronesse" has reigned as the undisputed queen of feed barleys in Idaho. That's an impressive record in a state that's the nation's No. 2 producer of this golden grain.
But Baronesse's superiority is being challenged by barleys from Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientists in Aberdeen, Idaho, and their University of Idaho colleagues. Regionally adapted barleys from their ongoing barley breeding program are edging ahead of...

Does Grain Need to be Processed? Although it is possible to feed whole grain to cattle, it is normally processed for a variety of reasons. Reduced separation and sorting of feed It is impossible to mix protein, mineral, or vitamin supplements and feed additives with whole grain and have the material stay well mixed from the mixer to the animals mouth. If whole grain is fed, mix the grain and supplement together with silage to help keep it...

Using cassava as a raw material for making animal feed can help cassava producers and processors cope better with the ongoing economic slowdown, experts say.
The cassava industry this year has shown no sign of recovery because the global recession continues to adversely impact the sale of cassava products, they note.
Cassava prices have sharply fallen to the current level of about VND400 (US$0.02) per kg, one third of last year, while the cultivation area for the root has...

Pomegranate peel left over from production of the juice renowned for its potential health benefits can make a nutritious feed supplement for cattle, researchers in Israel report in an article in the November 12 issue of ACS' biweekly Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry. The peel packs some of the weight-boosting and health-enhancing effects of antibiotics and hormones without the detrimental effects, and researchers say it may yield meat with higher levels of beneficial...

The 2008 Ontario sugar beet crop is an exceptional crop with yields much better than expected; resulting in more beets than can be reasonably processed. Sugar beet producers are being encouraged to consider a Set Aside Program option. A portion of the crop would be left unharvested or undelivered for processing.
Those who are planning to participate in the Set Aside Program may be looking for alternatives such as harvesting the whole beets for use as a livestock feed. Several...

An alarming new study to be published in November in the Annual Review of Environment and Resources finds that one-third of the world’s marine fish catches are ground up and fed to farm-raised fish, pigs, and poultry, squandering a precious food resource for humans and disregarding the serious overfishing crisis in our oceans. Lead author Dr. Jacqueline Alder, senior author Dr. Daniel Pauly, and colleagues urge that other foods be used to feed farmed animals so that these “forage...
