Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy of Benthic Fauna in the Discharge Lagoon of a Shrimp Farm With Special Emphasis on the PolychaetesLuis Rafael Martínez Córdova, Luis Fernando Enríquez OcañaA study of benthic fauna, with special emphasis on polychaetes, was made in the discharge lagoon of an experimental shrimp farm and a pond of the farm. The discharge lagoon was divided into three sections and stocked with shrimp at low density (6 Pl/m2). Neither formulated feed nor fertilization was used in these sections. The control pond was stocked with … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,680 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEffect of Drying Method on Physical-Chemical Characteristics and Amino Acid Content of Tropical Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) Hay for Poultry FeedBambang Suwignyo, Anita Mustika, Kustantinah et al.Alfalfa is an important source of inexpensive forage for poultry that has high nutritional and digestive value. Alfalfa can be dried to produce hay, although the drying method can affect the quality of the hay as forage. In this study we examined how drying methods affect the physical quality and chemical composition of hay produced from alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.). … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 2 · 15 May 2020 · 8,392 accessesView PDF Cite

Nutritional Value Concerning Nitrogen Fertilizer DosesTaufan Purwokusumaning Daru, Mayang Sari, Hamdi MayuluCoix lacryma-jobi L., as animal feed is considered a cereal plant from the Poaceae or Gramineae family. We aimed to determine the influence of different doses of Nitrogen (N) fertilizer on Coix lacryma-jobi L. It was conducted in the Lempake Village area; and the Chemical and biochemical laboratory of agricultural products and animal husbandry nutrition laboratory at Mulawarman University from … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 2 · 3 Jun 2023 · 6,221 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordNutritional Value of the Maize Stalk Borer and American Bollworm as Unconventional Protein SourcesA.E. Ghaly, F.N. AlkoaikProblem statement: The maize stalk borer and American bollworm were grown in an artificial media to evaluate their potential as human food sources. Approach: Both cultures were started from moths and the life cycle and culture structures were evaluated. Results: The larvae of both insects reached maximum weight and maximum length at the same time. The growth rate of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2010 · 8,088 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordPhytoremediation of Anaerobic Digester Effluent for Water Purification and Production of Animal FeedA. E. Ghaly, H.A. FaragThe application of phytoremediation for purification of an anaerobically treated dairy manure and production of forage crops was investigated. Four crops (two cereals and two grasses) were examined for their ability to grow hydroponically and to remove pollutants (nutrients) from dairy wastewater. The preliminary experiments showed that timothygrass and orchardgrass did not perform well as aquatic plants. Only 24 and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 8,201 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordNutrient Digestibility and Gas Production of Some Tropical Feeds Used in Ruminant Diets Estimated by the in vivo and in vitro Gas Production TechniquesPaya Hamid, Taghizadeh Akbar, Janmohammadi Hossein, Moghadam Gholam AliSome feedstuffs which used in ruminants diet (corn grain, soybean meal, wheat bran and alfalfa) were analyzed for chemical composition, apparent in vivo nutrient digestibility, in vitro fermentation gas production and metabolizable energy. Chemical composition of test feeds differed in nutrient contents. Initially apparent in vivo digestibility of alfalfa nutrients were obtained then digestibility of nutrients for the other test … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,667 accessesView PDF Cite
