Abstract A study was conducted to observe the effect of soybean and rice bran oil supplementation onnutrient utilization, lactation performance and ruminal fermentation in Surti goats. Twentyfour multiparous lactating Surti does were distributed into four homogenous groups for entirelactation of 150 days. Control group (CON) was offered a basal diet consisting of compoundconcentrate mixture, green jowar and pigeon pea straws without any oil supplementation,while other treatment groups were additionally supplemented with soybean oil @ 3% of DMI(SBO), rice bran oil @ 3% of DMI (RBO) and equi-propotional blend of soybean oil and ricebran oil @ 3.0 % of DMI (SRBO). DM, CP, NDF and ADF intake (g/d) and digestibility (%)remained statistically (p>0.05) similar amongst dietary treatments groups. EE intake (g/d)and digestibility (%) was significantly (p<0.01) improved in all three oils supplementedgroups as compared to control but values between oils supplemented groups remained at par(p>0.05). Nitrogen balance of experimental groups remained unaffected (p>0.05) and all theanimals were under positive nitrogen balance. Milk yield (kg/d), milk fat, SNF, protein,lactose, FCM and ECM yields (g/d) were significantly (p<0.05) increased in oilssupplemented groups as compared to control. Feed efficiency in terms of MY/DMI andFCM/DMI significantly (p<0.05) improved in SBO, RBO and SRBO as compared to CON.Soybean and rice bran oil supplementation either alone or in combination significantlyreduced (p<0.05) SCFA, MCFA, SFA with increased LCFA and PUFA in milk. However,values between oils supplemented groups remained at par (p>0.05). Oil supplementationincreased (p<0.001) oleic acid (C18:1 n-9) and linoleic acid (C18:2 n-6) in SBO, RBO andSRBO as compared to CON while, linolenic acid (C18:3 n-9) remained non significantamongst treatments. Lipid quality indices (LQI) like atherogenicity index, thrombogenicityindex and hypocholesterolaemic/hypercholesterolaemic (h/H) index were significantlyimproved in all the oils supplemented groups as compared to control. Rumen pH, totalnitrogen and its fractions (ammonia N, TCA precipitable N and soluble N) remained similar(p>0.05) amongst treatment except TVFA. Thus, supplementation of soybean oil and ricebran oil either alone or in combination in lactating goat can be effectively used to improveboth nutritional quantity and quality of milk.

The objective of this work was to evaluate the effects of parboiled rice whole bran (PRWB) inclusion in laying diets for Japanese quails, on their performance, egg quality, and economic viability. A total of 448 17-week-old quails were weighed and distributed in a completely randomized design with seven treatments and eight replicates of eight birds each. A control diet (no PRWB) and six diets, containing 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30% of PRWB, were tested. The increasing levels of PRWB did not affected nutrient digestibility coefficient, dietary energy use, feed intake, egg production, egg weight, egg mass, and the economic viability indices. However, there was a linear decrease in egg shell percentage, specific weight, and yolk color. The inclusion of up to 30% PRWB in the diet allows nutrient utilization and performance similar to those obtained by the control group, and it is economically viable.

Rice is the second largest cereal crop in the world and the by-products resulting from rice processing for human consumption are potential feedstuffs to compose poultry diets. In this sense, it was evaluated the influence of parboiled rice bran (PRB) in diets for Japanese quails in growing phase on the performance and digestibility, besides of residual effects and characteristics of egg quality in laying phase. A total of 324 Japanese quails with 7 days of age were distributed in a completely randomized design, with 6 treatments and 6 replicates of 9 birds. The treatments consisted of 6 isonutritives diets, being a control diet without PRB and the others containing 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25%. At the end of growing phase the birds were allotted in cages and fed the same diet without PRB at laying phase. At growing phase, the inclusion of PRB up to 5% promoted linear reduction in dry matter and gross energy digestibilities of diet; however a linear increase in metabolizable energy was noted. Feed intake, weight gain and final weight were reduced but not altering feed:gain ratio and body composition. At laying phase, the inclusion of PRB increased the age at first egg production but no influence was verified at age to reach 50% of egg production. No effect was verified at laying percentage, feed intake, weight and egg mass and feed:gain ratio. In economical evaluation, the inclusion of up to 25% of parboiled rice bran provided best economical indexes. The inclusion of PRB Japanese quails diets at growing phase can be recommended in levels up to 25%, without incurring future losses at laying phase.
