Food and Chemical Toxicology > 2010 > 48 > 1 > 11-17

Starter feeding experiments of broiler chicks with raw grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.) supplemented with different levels of DL-methionine were undertaken for 4weeks to assess the toxicity of grass pea-based feed and to correlate it with neurological symptoms. Four hundred fifty day-old broiler chicks were divided into two groups and were given formulations containing 35% (ration I) or 98.5% (ration...

The study was conducted to determine the effect of different levels of cactus (Opuntia ficus-indica) inclusion on feed intake, diet apparent digestibility and live weight gain in tef (Eragrostis tef) straw-based feeding of sheep. A randomized complete block design was used to assign 24 male Highland sheep with initial live weight of 17.0±3.9kg (mean±S.D.) in six replications to one of the four treatment...

Small Ruminant Research > 2006 > 64 > 1-2 > 10-15

Data from 454 Menz and Horro male sheep at Debre Berhan Research Station, Ethiopia, were evaluated for slaughter characteristics. Rams were born from October 1992 to July 1996 and reared together from birth to slaughter at about 17 months of age. Pre-slaughter live weight (PSW) was about 25kg, while carcass weight (CW) was about 10kg in both breeds. Empty body weight was significantly higher in the...

Effects of dietary protein supplementation and infection with gastrointestinal nematode parasites on some nutritional and metabolic parameters in Ethiopian Menz and Horro sheep

Aynalem Haile, D.O. Anindo, S. Tembely, E. Mukasa-Mugerwa, more

Livestock Production Science > 2004 > 91 > 1-2 > 183-195

The effect of subclinical artificial nematode parasite infection on dry matter intake (DMI), apparent digestibility (AD), efficiency of feed utilisation (EFU), plasma protein (PPC) and albumin concentrations (AC) was examined in lambs of the Horro and Menz breeds. The factorial experimental design involved two breeds, two infection treatments (infected vs. noninfected) and three nutrition treatments...

Small Ruminant Research > 2003 > 50 > 1-2 > 141-151

Effect of supplementation with non-conventional agro-industrial by-products on rumen fermentation pattern and microbial nitrogen supply was studied in sheep fed grass hay for 9 days. Diets consisted of hay alone (control); hay supplemented with tela atella (traditional brewery residue); katikala atella (liquor residue); lentil hull; rough pea hull and field pea hull. Thirty indigenous rams weighing...

Small Ruminant Research > 2002 > 44 > 3 > 247-261

The effects of breed and dietary protein supplementation on the development of resistance and resilience to gastrointestinal nematode parasites (endoparasites) were examined in artificially infected Horro and Menz lambs from 4 to 12 months of age. The factorial design involved two breeds, two infection treatments (infected vs non-infected) and three dietary protein treatments (hay and wheat bran (basal...

Evaluation of non-conventional agro-industrial by-products as supplementary feeds for ruminants: in vitro and metabolism study with sheep

Yoseph Mekasha, Azage Tegegne, Alemu Yami, N.N. Umunna

Small Ruminant Research > 2002 > 44 > 1 > 25-35

In vitro and in vivo evaluation of non-conventional feed resources was carried out in the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), Debre Zeit Station, Ethiopia, using sheep. Ten non-conventional feed types commonly used by urban and peri-urban livestock farmers were obtained from the farming system and evaluated in vitro following standard procedures. Following in vitro studies, five non-conventional...
