The purpose of this study was to examine how broilers' blood profiles and growth performance responded to dietary additional amino acid supplementation on a diet low in protein throughout the starter period. One hundred sixty 1-day-old, unsexed broiler chicks were divided into five groups at random, each with four replications and eight chicks per pen floor. The first group was fed a basal diet (the control group: T1), the second treatment was fed the basal diet (BD) after fasting for 24 h (T2), the third treatment was fed BD supplemented with high level of lysine 12.9 g/kg (T3), the fourth treatment was fed BD supplemented with lysine, methionine and threonine requirements of 13.7, 6.38 and 8.9 g/kg of diet, respectively (T4). The fifth treatment was fed BD supplemented with lysine, methionine, threonine, and valine requirements of 14.7, 6.8, 9.9, and 10.4 g/kg of diet, respectively (T5). Growth performance parameters and blood parameters were measured. ) there were significant differences in live body weight (LBW) and body weight gain (BWG) between the T1, T2 and the other treatments (T3, T4 and T5) which supplemented with amino acid and the highest LBW were observed in T5. there were no significant differences in the plasma levels of total protein, albumin, AST, uric acid, T 3 , T 4 , IgM and IgG between amino acid-supplemented group and the control. The present outcomes show that extra amino acid supplements to the low– protein diet during the start period have improved chickens’ performance.

The study was conducted to analyze value chains integrated traditional and upgraded dairy production in Faiyum and Al-Sharqia governorates of Upper and lower Delta region of Egypt to identify role of Milk Collection Centers (MCCs) in providing buffalo milk at reasonable prices for consumers as well as improves income for producers. Socio-economic characteristics performance showed that most producers in the study sample were male. Education was elementary to deal with upgraded value chains where about 78.18% of producers had high education level. By the same substance, 93.64% of producers of upgraded value chain represented membership of cooperative groups. Dairy supply chain amounted 81.02% and 79.45%, 13.45% and 4.34%, 5.53% and 16.21% for sold raw milk, home consumption and processed milk of traditional and upgraded value chains, respectively. The MCCs saved around 11.10 LE for 1 kg of buffalo raw milk price at farm level delivered to the consumer compared to raw milk prices at dairy shops or even at local markets of traditional value chains, consequently adequate prices of processed product in terms of product quality. Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR) conveyed evidence prove utility of MCCs to approach highest return, accounted 4.2 LE for buffalo milk produced under upgraded value chain. Animal feed afforded by MCCs however concerned essential to reduce costs burden, impacted positively producers` income. Extension service has been reported from missions of MCCs raise awareness among producers, link decision maker to participants in developing process regarding quality and marketing of dairy products.

This study aimed to examine the effect of Probax ( Lactobacillus acidophilus ), thyme (Thymus vulgaris ) extract (THM), and their combination on productive performance, rumen function, hematological and blood biochemical components, and immunity of newborn Friesian calves from calving to weaning (105 d) and post-weaning (150 d of age). Total of 20 male Friesian calves at three days of age and 35.07±0.56 kg body weight were allotted into four groups (5 calves/group). In the 1 st group (G1), calves were fed whole cow milk and the starter plus berseem hay after 7 days of age (control). Calves were fed the same control diet supplemented with 50 mg Probax /kg BW (G2), 40 mg of THM/kg BW (G3), and 50 mg of Probax and 40 mg of THM (G4). Growth performance parameters, ruminal VFAs concentration, protozoal count, RBCs, Hb, PCV, and concentration of total proteins, albumin, globulin, glucose, urea, total cholesterol, triglycerides, IgG, IgM, and IgA in blood serum were the highest (P˂0.05), while creatinine concentration, and AST and ALT activities were the lowest in G4. Dietary supplementation of Probax+THM (50 and 40 mg/kg BW) improved growth performance, rumen function, of Friesian calves at weaning, and at 150 days of age.

Green tea extract is plant–derived natural antioxidant. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the supplementing semen extender (Tris-citric-soybean lecithin) with different levels of aqueous (AGTE) or methanolic (MGTE) green tea extract (0.5, 1.0 and 1.5%) on the motility, livability, normality, plasma membrane integrity, and kinetic parameters of ram spermatozoa in diluted and equilibrated semen. Semen was collected from 5 rams once a week for 7 weeks using an artificial vagina. Results showed positive effect of extender containing 1% MGTE on visual motility, livability, abnormality, membrane integrity, rapid motility, sperm velocity, and normal form in post-equilibrated semen. It is possible to infer that the inclusion of methanolic green tea extract at a level of 1% in semen extender had a substantial effect on sperm quality, normality, function, and velocity of ram spermatozoa in Rahmani semen after dilution and equilibration for 4 h at 5 o C.

This study was carried out as a beginning to evaluate cattle herds of experimental research stations belonging to Animal Production Research Institute (APRI) - Ministry of Agricultural to stand on constrains and reveals opportunities to improve productivity in view of economic aspect. The study targeted evaluation of cow and buffalo herds in Sakha and Mahalat Mosa stations in Kafr El-Shaykh governorate, El- Serw I and El-Serw II stations in Damietta governorate. Cattle herds differentiated local cow and Friesien (crossbred) at El-Serw I station, Friesien (crossbred) and Angus (crossbred) at Sakha station, buffalo at Mahalat Mosa and El-Serw II stations. Dairy cattle contributed 47% of the total herd size of the studied stations, meanwhile 39% for female calves and 10% for male calves. Milk yield recorded 3150 L per head per season for cow herd in Sakha station, followed by 3000 L, 2400 L and 1620 L for cow herd in El- Serw I , and buffalo herds in El- Serw II and Mahalet Mosa stations, respectively. Highest dairy outcome (10701 LE/ head /season) contributed by buffalo herd in El- Serw II station due to milk income and calving production generates buffalo as major dairy cattle to approach abundance price from livestock products. Cows were prominent for meat production; its calves sold at bargain prices as it offered municipal meat in local markets. Results of the study indicated importance to initiate semi-commercial dealing contributes to cover part of costs conducted for experimental researches and as well enlarge stations` income.

The study aimed to evaluate the effects of adding emulsified or nano- emulsified essential oil blend (garlic, pomegranate, tea tree essential oil), at the same level to weaned Mountain rabbits diet, on their growth performance, blood components, meat analysis, meat fatty acids and immunity indices. A total of forty-five weaned Mountain rabbits, were assigned randomly to 3 similar groups. Rabbits in the 1 st group (T1, the control) were fed only concentrate feed mixture. The 2 nd group (T2) and 3rd group (T3) were fed concentrate feed mixture supplemented with either 0.75 ml/kg diet emulsified, or 0.75 ml/kg diet nano- emulsified essential oil blend, respectively. Results of growth performance revealed that T2 and T3 recoded (P<0.05) higher final live body weight compared with T1, while, T2 and T3 recorded (P<0.05) higher hot carcass weight compared with T1. Regarding meat protein content for the three tested groups T3 recorded (P<0.05) higher value and (P<0.05) the lowest fat content, TVN and TBA compared with T1. Rabbits of T1 found to have (P<0.05) higher triglycerides, cholesterol, urea, creatinine AST and ALT compared with T2 and T3. Immunity values in terms of IgG and IgM were (P<0.05) higher in favor of T3. T3 recorded the best significant (P<0.05) antioxidant in term of GPx and SOD. The control group T1 recoded (P<0.05) the highest significant values of total saturated fatty acids. Opposite trends were realized regarding monounsaturated fatty acids and total poly unsaturated fatty acids where T3 had (P<0.05) higher significant values.

A total of forty-five weaned Mountain rabbits, were assigned randomly to 3 similar groups. Rabbits in the 1 st group (T1, the control) were fed only concentrate feed mixture. The 2 nd group (T2) and 3rd group (T3) were fed concentrate feed mixture supplemented with either 0.75 ml/kg diet emulsified, or 0.75 ml/kg diet nano- emulsified essential oil blend, respectively. Results of growth performance revealed that T2 and T3 recoded (P<0.05) higher final live body weight compared with T1, while, T2 and T3 recorded (P<0.05) higher hot carcass weight compared with T1. Regarding meat protein content for the three tested groups T3 recorded (P<0.05) higher value and (P<0.05) the lowest fat content, TVN and TBA compared with T1. Rabbits of T1 found to have (P<0.05) higher triglycerides, cholesterol, urea, creatinine AST and ALT compared with T2 and T3. Immunity values in terms of IgG and IgM were (P<0.05) higher in favor of T3. T3 recorded the best significant (P<0.05) antioxidant in term of GPx and SOD. The control group T1 recoded (P<0.05) the highest significant values of total saturated fatty acids. Opposite trends were realized regarding monounsaturated fatty acids and total poly unsaturated fatty acids where T3 had (P<0.05) higher significant values.","PeriodicalId":14889,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Animal and Poultry Production","volume":"247 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83492746","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study was designed to investigate the effects of magnetic water and different stocking densities on water quality parameters, growth performance, feed utilization, chemical composition and Blood biochemical of Nile tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus ). A total of 180 healthy monosex Nile tilapia fingerlings with an average initial body weight of 33.24 ± 0.47 g were randomly distributed into 18 glass aquaria. The experiment was based on a 2 × 3 factorial design with three stocking densities; (5, 100, and 150 fingerlings/m 3 ), and two types of water, normal water (NW) and magnetic water (MW). Experimental fish were fed on the commercial diet (30.11% protein) based on a feeding rate of 3% from body weight for all groups. Water quality parameters, growth performance parameters, feed utilization, chemical composition and blood parameters were calculated in all groups at the end of the experiment after eight weeks. The results indicated that water quality, growth performance, feed utilization, and chemical composition improved significantly in magnetic water groups compared to normal water groups at the three stocking densities. As for blood parameters, there were no significant differences in all groups. In conclusion, applying magnetic water on aquaculture of Nile tilapia farming improves water quality parameters, fish growth performance, feed utilization, and chemical composition at different stocking densities.

This study was conducted to evaluate the influence of dietary levels of licorice on quail performance stocked under high stocking density. A total number 255 one week old unsexed quail were randomly distributed into six groups. Chicks 1 were fed on a basal diet without licorice and reared at normal stoking density (10 birds/ replicate). The chicks of groups 2,3,4,5 and 6 distributed to be in high stocking density (15 birds/ replicate) and fed on basal diet supplemented with licorice at levels of 0.0, 0.3, 0.6, 0.9 and 1.2 g/kg diet, respectively. Addition of 0.9g licorice/kg diet to quail reared in HD increased LBW and BWG at wk 3 and 6. The quail chicks housed at HD without or with dietary supplementation at 0.3 g/kg presented higher values (p<0.05) of plasma TC, TG, LDL and lower plasma HDL and VLDL values. IgA and IgM levels were higher (p<0.01) in the quail chicks kept under HD treated with 0.9 g licorice /kg diet. Plasma SOD was higher (p<0.05) in the experimental group housed under HD treated with 0.6 g licorice/kg diet comparatively with other experimental groups. There were no significant differences in digestive enzymes, total yeasts, molds count and enterococcus SPP. In conclusion, increasing stocking density of growing Japanese quail from 10 to 15 negatively affect their performance. But, supplementing diets with licorice could reduce these negative effects and improve the performance at high stocking density.
