Group Trial

One of the by-products of corn processing which can successfully be used in poultry nutrition is livestock meal. In this trial corn meal was investigated, meal in two form: non-extruded (T1 and T2) and extruded (T3 and T4) as a replacement of cracked corn (K) in the amount of 100% (T1 and T3) and 50% (T2 and T4). Investigation was carried out in 4 repetitions, 75 chickens of Arbor Acres x Ross 308 hybrid in each group. Trial lasted 42 days. Chickens were fed three standard mixtures (starter, grower and finisher). Investigation demonstrated that group of chickens of treatment T3 realized the best final body masses (2254g), followed by chickens in treatment T4 (2173g), chickens of group T2 (2112g), K group (2106 g), and the worst results were established in chickens of group T1 (2103g). It was established that differences in final body mass of chickens from group T3 in relation to chickens from groups T1, T2, T4 and were statistically highly significant (P<0,001). Statistically significant differences (P<0,05) were established between body masses of chickens from group T4 in relation to T1, T2 and K group. Mortality of chickens was as followes: K-3,64%, T1- 2,50%, and T2-5,00%, T3-6,39%, and T4-3,33%. Feed conversion in all investigated groups was almost identical (K-1,91; T2-,93; T3-1,93; T4-1,94) with the exception of T1 with 1,97. In regard to production index (PI), the best results were realized by group of chickens T3 (261), followed by chickens T4 (258), K (253), and the worst results were established in chickens of groups T1 (248) and T2 (248).

Feeding Systems

Traditional farmers usually use local feed ingredient based on cheapest ingredients without considering the importance of feed conversion ratio to maximise cattle growth. The experiment was conducted to determine the growth of crossbred bulls fed on a cassava by-product based diet and a local concentrate. Fifty cross bred bulls aged 1.5–2 years were used in this study. The bulls were divided into five groups and offered 1% and 2% local concentrate (T1 and T2), 1% and 2% cassava-based diet (T3 and T4) and the current feeding system (CFS) by farmers (T0) as the control. Local concentrate was bought from Blitar while cassava-based diets contained 50% cassava, 25% copra meal and 25% palm kernel cake. No interventions were made to the CFS, however, some farmers in T0 used local forages and agricultural by-products such as rice bran and pollard bran as a feed, and adopted the supplementation of local concentrates as used by T1 and T2 farmers. The average daily gain were 1.13 kg/head/day (T0), 1.09 kg/head/day (T1), 1.38 kg/head/day (T2), 0.8 kg/head/day (T3) and 1.23 kg/head/day (T4). The study found that local concentrates promoted high average daily gain and that traditional feeding systems (CFS) performed well when farmers saw other farmers feeding better diets.

The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of extruded rapeseed meal in the diet on broiler performance. Chickens of Ross 398 hybrid were used in the trial. The trial lasted 42 days. Rape seed meal was extruded prior to use and included in the diet at the level of 4% (group 2) and 8% (group 3), and control group of chickens (group 1) fed the standard mixture based on corn, soybean meal and soybean grits. Chickens of the control group scored the highest ranking and realized the final body mass of 2212 g, whereas the chickens of group 2 had the final body mass of 2191 g, and chickens of group 3 with final body mass of 2148 g were the worst. Falling behind of the trial groups in relation to the control group in regard to the body mass at the end of the trial was by 0,91% group 2 and by 2,89% for group 3. Feed conversion ratio was the best in group 2, followed by control group, and the worst was the group 3 (1,882; 1,866; 1,894, respectively). The lowest mortality rate was realized by chickens of the control group, followed by group 2 and group 3 (4,00%; 4,33%; 5,33%, respectively). The control group of chickens had the best production index value, followed by group 2 and the lowest value of the production index was established for chickens of group 3 (270,95; 265,18; 255,63, respectively). It can be observed that the depression in trial groups was within the limits of toleration, which indicates that extruded rapeseed meal can be included in the diets for fattening chickens in ratio up to 10%.

Modern broiler production is based on exploitation of meat type hybrids which are characterized by intensive growth, excellent food efficiency, strong constitution and excellent body conformation. In Serbia, many foreign proveniences are present and therefore there is a need to define a hybrid which in existing production conditions would realize the best fattening results. Objective of the study was to determine the production results of two most present line hybrids on our market, Cobb-500 and Ross-308. The following production parameters: body mass, gain, feed consumption, feed conversion, mortality and production index were monitored. One day old chickens were distributed randomly in two groups with 4 repetitions per each hybrid. In nutrition of broilers complete pellet mixtures were used, which ensured that all broiler requirements in energy, proteins, mineral substances, vitamins and essential amino acids were met. Higher final body mass was realized by Ross-308. In regard to feed conversion, mortality, feed consumption and value of production index, it is observed that Cobb-500 broilers realized better feed conversion (1,78), lower mortality (7,00%), lower consumption of feed per chicken (4238g) and higher value of production index with 316 index points compared to Ross-308 (1.82; 9,00%; 4407g; 309). Obtained production indexes for both hybrids were very high, so it can be concluded that there are no statistically significant differences between these two hybrids. It can be concluded that achieved results are satisfactory, and that hybrids have high genetic potential.

The aim of this paper was to determine how forage triticale in diets for fattening broilers influence the body weight and weight gain of broiler chickens for fattening. The survey was conducted on 400 chickens for fattening provenance Ross 308 for a period of 42 days. On this occasion, four groups of chickens were formed, with 100 chickens being treated in each group, as follows: K (classic mixture for fattening broilers) and O-I (mixtures with triticale variety Kg 20), O-II (mixtures with triticale Favorit) and O-III group (mixtures with triticale Trijumf). The highest average body mass in the groups of chickens (male, female and chicks of both sexes), was scored by broiler chickens of O-II-group. The minimum food consumption for 42-day-old chicks was achieved by group O-I (4.275 kg), and the most by O-II group (4.359 kg). Chickens of O-II- and III-O-group had the best feed conversion, while the chickens of O-I-group had a slightly poorer feed conversion. The mortality of the groups of chickens for the entire period of the study was the lowest in O-II-group, at 2.0%, and the highest mortality was found in O-III-group (6.0%). The production index was the highest in O-II-group (202.726) and the lowest in O-I-group. The results achieved in this research indicate that the use of tested triticale cultivars significantly affected the weight gain and body mass of chicks and have nutritional and economic justification.

Considering that our previous research has indicated some positive effects of probiotics used in nutrition of sows and suckling piglets, as well as piglets in rearing, investigation designed in this case had the objective to investigate the effect of introduction of probiotic Paciflora-C-10, based on Bacillus spp C.I.P. 5832 in nutrition of fattening pigs. Investigations were carried out on Experimental pig farm of the Institute for Animal Husbandry, Belgrade-Zemun. Crietria for evaluation of obtained results were production performance, degree of use of nutritious substances slaughter parameters and economical analysis determined as price of gain of 1 kg of body mass. It was established that introduction of probiotics has induced the increase of body mass gain by 3,88%, feed conversion by 2,81% degree of utilization of dry and organic matter as well as crude proteina in mixtures. Also, in regard to slaughter traits, it was established that use of probiotic had positive effect on dressing percentage. No effect on food consumption, meatiness in warm carcasses or price of body mass gain was determined on experimental animals.

In this paper the effect of application of corn meal in broiler chicken nutrition is presented. In meals the corn grain (C) is replaced by corn meal in the amount 100 % (T1) and 50 % (T2). Experiment lasted 42 days in system 3 x 4 (3 treatments x 4 repetitions). In every treatment 300 chicken were included. Feeding of chicken was ad libitum, with three meals: starter with 23,30 % CP and 12,78 MJ/kg ME; grower with 20,30 % CP and 13,10 MJ/kg ME, and finisher 17,70 % CP and 13,25 MJ/kg ME. Results of investigation are: body weight of chicken C-2106g, T1- 2103g, and T2-2130g; daily growth C-50,13g, T1-50,08g, and T2-50,72g; mortality of chicken C-3,64 %, T1-2,50 %, and T2-5,00 %; feed conversion ratio C-1,91 kg/kg, T1-1,97 kg/kg, and T2-1,93 kg/kg. Differences in production parameters were not statistically significant. Processing percentage was uniform among groups and differences in contents of abdominal fat were minimal. Differences in these parameters were not statistically significant. On the basis of these results it can be concluded that the nutritive value of corn meal in broiler chicken nutrition is on level of corn grain and that this nutrient can be used in the nutrition of broiler chicken as well as the corn grain.

: Several by-products, such as whole cull dates, date stones (also called pits, seeds, kernels), sugar-extracted date pulp, are produced from date fruit processing industries. These by-products, particularly date stone meal represent 10 to 20% of the whole dates are wasted, causing environmental issues. However, the date stone is rich in various nutrients, such as nitrogen-free extract, fiber, fat, and minerals, which could be used as an alternative feed source in poultry nutrition. However, the high fiber content in date stone meal restricts its use in poultry diets. Whole date wastes and date pulp have lower protein, fiber and fat content than those in date stone meal. Several studies have investigated the use of date stone meal and other by-products as a replacement of dietary corn and barley on feed intake, growth, feed efficiency, and nutrient utilization in poultry. The compilation of results obtained from different studies indicates that date fruit by-products, particularly date stone meal, could be incorporated up to 10% levels, replacing corn or barley grains without hampering production performance, and this could reduce the production cost. Moreover, the use of date stone meal at lower levels (5–10%) sometimes shows better growth performance, probably due to the presence of bioactive principles such as antioxidants and phenolic compounds. The use of date stone meal in poultry diets may be practically important under certain circumstances not only under the COVID-19 crisis due to the lockdown of airports, dry ports, ports and traffic restrictions, but also in countries with a limited supply of classical feed resources and which depend on imported ones. Finally, it can recommend that using date stone meal (DSM) up to 5–10% in poultry diets positively affect the productive performance. Due to the variability in the nutritive value of the DSM, developing a formula for metabolizable energy (ME) of DSM = a (intercept) − b (slope) × crude fiber (CF) content should be considered to improve the precision of feed formula for poultry. However, the nutritional value of DSM might not only depend on crude fiber but also on other compounds.

Fishmeal is the main source of dietary protein for most commercially farmed fish species. However, fishmeal prices have been raised even further because of competition with domestic animals, shortage in world fishmeal supply, and increased demand. Increased fishmeal prices have contributed to the quest for alternatives necessary to replace fishmeal as a global research priority. A literature search was conducted using these terms on Google Scholar and EBSCOhost; fishmeal replacement in fish feeds, fishmeal alternatives in fish feeds, animal protein sources in aquaculture, insects in fish feeds, terrestrial by-products, and fishery by-products. To calculate the variation between experiments, a random effect model was used. Results indicated that different fish species, sizes, and inclusion levels were used in the various studies and showed that the use of insects, terrestrial by-products, and fishery by-products has some limitations. Despite these drawbacks, the use of animal protein sources as a replacement for fishmeal in fish diets has had a positive impact on the feed conversion ratio, variable growth rate, final weight, and survival rate of different types of fish species of different size groups. Findings also showed that some animal by-products had not been assessed as a protein source in aquaculture or animal feeds, and future studies are recommended.

As insect farming is becoming more popular in Europe and in the US, the use of food industry by-products in insects’ feed is drawing more attention. However, it is still unclear how to maximise the use of by-products in the feeds while meeting the nutritional requirements and maintaining profitable rearing yields with the current production technology. In this study, we conducted an experiment in Finnish small-scale cricket farming and laboratory conditions to determine whether five diet treatments, including by-product diets with barley mash and turnip rape, modify the overall fresh yield (kg), development time and feed conversion rate of the house crickets (Acheta domesticus). We discovered that the diets differed in the overall fresh cricket yield (kg) but not in the development time or the feed conversion rate of the crickets. The diets with a high proportion of by-product decreased the price of the feed but at the same time reduced the yield. Based on our results, complex by-product diets with the by-product proportion of 20-41% are the most suitable for house cricket rearing.
