The feeding value of different levels of camel rumen content in broiler diet was investigated using 150 Hover marshal broiler chickens from one-day to 63-days of age. The birds were randomly allotted to five /diets with two replicates of 15 birds each. The diets (starter and finisher) were formulated to contain 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20% camel rumen content in T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5 diets respectively. At nine week of the experiment three birds per replicate were selected for carcass measurement. The backs, hearts, kidneys, lungs, liver and spleen were not significantly (P > 0.05) different among the treatment groups while other parameters were significantly (P<0.05) different among the treatment groups. At week eight of the experiment three birds per replicate were selected for digestibility study. At the starter stage, the daily feed intake and daily weight gain were significantly (P<0.05) different among the treatment groups but only the feed conversion ratio was not affected (P>0.05) by the camel rumen content (CRC) in the diets. However, broiler chicks fed CRC T1 (0%), T2 (5%), T3 (10%) and T4 (15%) had better daily weight gain than those fed T5 (20%). During the finisher stage, all the growth parameters were not affected (P>0.05%) by CRC except final body weight which was affected (P<0.05) by the test material. Economic of production showed that CRC diets were not profitable in terms of cost of feed per kg weight gain during the starter stage. At finisher stage the cost of feed per kg weight gain were better in broilers chicken fed CRC based-diets. The result of the experiment showed that camel rumen content can replace maize and groundnut cake up to 15% level without deleterious effect on the roductive performance of broiler chicks.However, at finisher stage up to20%dietarymaize and groundnut cake could be replaced with CRC without adverse effect on the growth performance, carcass parameters, digestibility and economics of production.

One hundred and seventy-nine ewe weaners from five experimental selection flocks were allocated at random, within sire lines, to one of two groups which were subjected to different nutritional regimes from weaning to 17 months of age. Liveweight and wool production were examined over an eight-year period and survival rate and reproduction data over the lifetime of the ewes. The treatments produced a maximum liveweight difference of 30.5 lb at 14 months of age when the liveweights of ewes receiving a high plane of nutrition averaged 98 lb. There were significant selection flock X plane of nutrition interactions in greasy fleece weight and staple length. Clean fleece weight of sheep on the low plane of nutrition was depressed by 25 per cent at the first shearing, and there were small differences in the fleece weights of low and high plane sheep in the following six years. Death rate, lifetime reproduction, and weaning weight of progeny were not significantly depressed by the low plane treatment.

Three experimental groups of lambs were given water containing the same three different levels of fluorine, added as sodium fluoride, that their mothers had received during pregnancy and lactation. Group A (control), containing 21 wethers and 11 ewes, received water containing about 0 . 3 p.p.m. F, group B (17 wethers) received water containing 10 p.p.m. F, and group C (20 wethers and 10 ewes) received water containing 20 p.p.m.F. The ewes were mated in each of the last 6 years, and the experiment was terminated when the animals reached 7 years of age. During the winter months little water was drunk. In the summer months the daily intake of water by groups B and C rose to 41, equivalent to 40 and 80 mg F, for the two groups respectively. Their overall mean daily intake for the whole experiment was 14 and 27 mg F respectively. Water containing 10 p.p.m. F appeared to have no adverse effects on the health of the sheep, but decreased wool production and induced characteristic changes in the teeth. Water containing 20 p.p.m. F affected health and wool production, and induced more severe signs of fluorosis on the teeth. Neither concentration affected reproductive performance. Increases up to threefold were observed in the fluoride content of the bones and teeth. The implications of the findings are discussed, particularly in relation to flock management in Queensland.

The objective of this study was to determine drying characteristics and quality of rice bran pellet subjected to hot air assisted infrared (HA-IR) drying at different levels of infrared (IR) intensity (750 – 3750 W/m2) and air temperature (40 – 80°C). The rice bran pellets were dried from 0.18 to 0.08 g water/g dry matter. The maximum drying rate (DR) and drying time were in the ranges of 0.0030 – 0.0165 g water/g dry matter·min and 8 – 54 min, respectively. Higher IR intensity and air temperature resulted in greater maximum DR and shorter drying time. The same trend was also observed for the effective moisture diffusivity (Deff) values which were between 0.3103×10-7 and 2.7603×10-7 m2/s. As compared to the commercial reference sample of dried rice bran pellets, the products of this study had higher oil content and lower FFA content. The oil content was affected by IR intensity only while the FFA content was affected both by IR intensity and air temperature. HA-IR drying could improve drying characteristics of the rice bran pellets and produce better quality of the dried products.
