6. Genetic properties of feed efficiency and related traits in dairy cattle
Sammanfattning : Feed accounts for the largest proportion of operating costs in dairy production. Improving feed efficiency (FE) is expected to increase the profits of dairy farmers and reduce the ecological footprint of dairy production. LÄS MER
7. Erythrina foliage as an alternative feed for growing goats in Lao PDR
Sammanfattning : Foliages from some tropical plants and from different species of the legume Erythrina were examined in five studies assessing the characteristics of these foliages as feed for goats. Digestibility and feed preference studies showed that ad libitum feeding of foliage from Erythrina (Erythrina variegata), jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) and kapok (Ceiba pentandra) resulted in a longer time spent eating and more changes in diet selection, feed intake, crude protein (CP) digestibility and nitrogen (N) retention than foliage from jujube (Ziziphus jujube Mill), fig (Ficus racemosa) and mango (Mangifera indica).

8. Feed for defence : can dietary supplements modulate broiler gut microbiota and guard against Campylobacter?
Sammanfattning : The bacteria Campylobacter jejuni is the causative agent of a disease in humans called campylobacteriosis and is the most commonly reported zoonosis in the European Union, with the primary source of infection often traced to broiler products. While low overall C. LÄS MER
9. Zygomycetes and cellulose residuals : hydrolysis, cultivation and applications
Sammanfattning : Zygomycetes is a class of fungi living worldwide as saprobes, as part of mycorrhizae, and as parasites. Humans have used some zygomycetes for centuries in the production of traditional foods, e.g. Indonesian tempe. LÄS MER
10. Effects of the level, type and processing of cereal grains in diets for dairy cows : feed intake and performance
Sammanfattning : Milk yield in dairy cows is directly dependent on their feed or energy intake. Due to genetic improvements, dairy cows have increased their potential for milk yield. This implies that the animal's energy requirements are drastically increased. LÄS MER
