Skeletal development in growing ponies fed high-energy diets and differing nutrient, calorie ratios
(1986)
Skeletal development was examined in weanling pony foals fed either (1) a control diet of 100% NRC requirement for energy and all other nutrients (n=6); (2) a high-energy diet containing 138% of NRC recommended level of ...
Aspects of the wintering ecology of northern shovelers on freshwater and saline habitats
(1986)
Habitat factors, feeding ecology, and physiological body condition of northern shovelers (Anas clypeata) were studied on saline wetlands of the Texas Gulf Coast, and on several freshwater lakes 18 km inland. The hypothesis ...
Some physical aspects of digestion of forages by steers : and binding of ytterbium and hafnium as digesta particle markers
(1987)
Ingestive and ruminative chewing, meal and dorsal rumen contractions were measured in yearling beef steers offered foraged diets based on either Coastal bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers] or sorghum X sudan [Sorghum ...
Factors affecting intake and digestion of forages by cattle
(1987)
An experiment was conducted to measure voluntary intake, nitrogen flow and digestibility of fiber and nitrogen fractions in the gastric (G), small intestines (I) and hindgut (H) digestive segments of crossbred yearling ...
The effect of feeding pre-laying levels of dietary calcium on mineral metabolism in pullets from 15 to 21 weeks and subsequent laying performance
(1986)
A study was conducted to determine the effects of increasing dietary pre-lay calcium levels from 1.00 to 2.00 or 3.00% between 15, 17 or 19 weeks of age. A total of 840 Single Comb White Leghorn pullets were randomly ...
Parameters to describe the growth of male cattle
(1987)
Parameters were estimated for nonlinear growth curves for bulls of five straightbred and 20 crossbred breedtypes produced in two generations of a diallel. The primary intent of this study was to use the estimates obtained ...
Reducing abdominal fat pads in broiler chickens by feeding combinations of high and low protein : calorie diets
(1987)
Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the potential of nonconventional diets with high protein to calorie ratios to limit abdominal fat in broilers. In experiment 1, 1,100 male and 900 female chicks were randomly ...
Fatty acid metabolism in the freshwater shrimp, Macrobrachium rosenbergii
(1985)
Freshwater shrimp, Macrobrachium rosenbergii, were fed experimental diets containing no fat, purified fatty acids (linoleate, linolenate, palmitate) and lipids of plant and animal origin. Gas chromatographic analysis of ...
Herbaceous response and cattle diets following brush management in the Post Oak Savannah
(1980)
A study was intiated in May 1977 to examine the interaction of brush management and season on herbaceous production and composition,, chemical and botanical composition of cattle diets, and performance of lightweight steers ...
The development of a purified diet and nutritional requirement of lysine in penaeid shrimp
(1986)
Various studies for the development of a purified diet for penaeid shrimp were investigated. No difference in food-seeking behavior and diet consumption was observed in shrimp fed diets with attractant mixtures of 6% and ...
