Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Enzyme Supplementation on Performance, Carcass characteristics, Carcass Composition and Some Blood Parameters of Broiler ChickenH. HajatiProblem statement: Endogenous enzymes of broilers cannot adequately digest nonstarch polysaccharides and subsequently the ingestion of high levels of soluble NSP leads to increased digesta viscosity and reduced nutrient digestibility and absorption. Supplementation of NSPs degrading enzymes may remove the anti nutritive effects of NSPs and release some nutrients (starch, protein) from these elements. Therefore, in a completely randomized design … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 9,654 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMaize Oil Can Replace Fish Oil in The Diet of Grouper Postlarvae (Epinephelus Coioides) Without Adversely Affecting Growth or Fatty Acid CompositionJin Niu, Yong-Jian Liu, Li-Xia Tian et al.This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary lipid sources on growth, survival and body composition of 40 day post hatch larval grouper, Epinephelus coioides. Fish were fed fish meal and protein hydrolysate based diets for 32 days with either 100% maize oil or 100% fish oil in triplicate from 40-day after hatching to slaughter size (fish weight: … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 8,283 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractEditorial Commentary: Challenge of Non–AIDS-Defining Cancers (NADCs), Focusing on Trans Activation Response Element (TAR) RNA Embedding ExosomesLechuang Chen, Ge JinGlobally, 37.9 million people were living with HIV at the end of 2018 (Organization, 2018). Cancer is a major cause of mortality and morbidity in AIDS patients and chronically HIV-infected people. With the aid of combination Antiretroviral Therapy (ART), people living with HIV (PLWH) have a longer life span. However, because the virus is not completely eradicated, PLWH under antiretroviral … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 28 Nov 2019 · 6,662 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Selenium Supplementation on Secretion of Reproductive Hormones and Immune Response to Trichostrongylidae Nematodes Infestation in Zulu Sheep Ewes During Oestrous CycleNoxolo Winile Nkunzi, Fhulufhelo V Ramukhithi, Ismaila Muritala et al.The growing resistance of nematodes to anthelmintics has prompted research into alternative control strategies, including nutritional supplementation with micronutrients such as Selenium (Se). Research focusing on the use of mineral supplementation would not only contribute to improvement of animal performance but also to acquaint stakeholders with alternative immune boosting strategies in livestock. Thus, this research assessed how immune response and … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 3 · 27 Oct 2026 · 51 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Nutritional Quality of Some Wild Edible Plants in Central Cross River, NigeriaObi-Abang Magdalene, Margaret Akpana Agiang, Victor Eshu Okpashi, Godwin Eneji EgbungAccording to the Nigerian National Population Commission 2006, the population of the nation was conservatively estimated to be over one hundred and seventy million. The challenge of nutritional quality to feed an increasing national population places a higher demand on poorly grown conventional plants. Thus the need to incorporate wild edible plants to bridge the extended gap between the conventional … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 6 · 11 May 2018 · 8,142 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy on Nutritional Value of Instant Sea Cucumber Processed by the New Processing ApproachShujing Meng, Huiyan Zhang, Jianfeng Sun, Qian LiuIn this study, the micrograph, the composition of amino acids and fatty acids were analyzed contrastively among the fresh, instant and commercial sea cucumber.

Depending on … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 28 Mar 2017 · 9,894 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIncrease in Crude Protein Content of Milk Replacers with Vegetable Protein: Effect on Health and Dairy Calves' PerformanceEvangelina Miqueo, Thais Manzoni Torrezan, Nathalia Britto Rocha et al.The use of milk replacer instead of whole milk may be an economical alternative to calf-rearing systems. However, together with the volume fed, its composition is critical for high performance, especially regarding the origin of the protein. Two milk replacers with different protein content were evaluated to see the effect on the performance of calves. Thirty-three Holstein calves were distributed … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 6 Feb 2017 · 7,779 accessesView PDFCite
