Effect of dietary replacement of fishmeal by insect meal on growth performance, blood profiles and economics of growing pigs in Kenya

Abstract: Pig production is one of the fastest growing livestock sectors. Development of this sector is hampered by rapidly increasing costs of fishmeal (FM), which is a common protein source in animal feeds. Here, we explored the potential of substituting FM with black soldier fly larval meal (BSFLM) on growth and blood parameters of pigs as well as economic aspects. At weaning, 40 hybrid pigs, i.e., crossbreeds of purebred Large White and Landrace were randomly assigned to five iso-nitroge...

Performance and Meat Quality of Broiler Chicken Fed Diets Enriched With Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia Illucens) Larvae Meal

Abstract: Insects are a common feedstuff for wild birds and scavenging poultry. Prospects of insects inclusion in compounded animal feeds as cheaper alternative protein sources has lately attracted intercontinental attention. Black Soldier Fly larvae (BSFL) meal was used to partially replace soybean meal (SBM) and fish meal (FM) in broiler chicken diets to determine the effect on performance, carcass characteristics, breast meat sensory attributes and the economic implication of their use. T...

Dietary supplementation of Solanum aethiopicum and Solanecio biafrae leaves alters stress and immune responses, antioxidant status, and meat quality in broilers raised in a hot-dry environmen

ABSTRACT  This study investigated the influence of dietary supplementation of Solanum aethiopicum and Solanecio biafrae leaves, which have nutraceutical properties, on stress response, cytokine expression, antioxidant status, blood chemistry, abdominal fat and meat quality in broilers reared in a hot, dry environment. 2. One day old, Ross 308 chicks (n = 350) were randomly allotted to basal diets containing either no supplement (D1); 2.5 g/kg Solanum aethiopicum leaf (SAL; D2); 5 g/kg SAL (D...

Effect of Sun flower Seeds' Extract and Milk Source on Rennet Coagulation Time, Yield and the Quality of White Cheese during Storage

ABSTRACT  This study was aimed to extract milk-clotting enzyme from sunflower (Helianthus annuus) seeds and to determine its potentiality for manufacturing white soft cheese from cows and goats milk during storage. The parameters evaluated included: coagulation time, yield, physicochemical composition, microbiological analyses and sensory characteristics of the manufactured cheese. The sunflower seeds' were blended and extracted using two types of buffers, Na acetate buffer and 5% NaCl aceta...

Effect of Different Stages of the Lactation Period on Physicochemical Properties of Camel, Goat and Cow Milk

ABSTRACT  This research was conducted to study the effect of different stages of the lactation period on physicochemical properties of three species, dromedary camel, saanen goat and cow milk during different lactation stages. The lactation period of each species was divided into three stages after calving, early, mid and late stages. Milk samples for each species were collected at different intervals during each stage and thus covering the whole lactation period. The samples were then subje...

Ovulation Induction in Dromedary She – camels by using two Different protocols During non Breeding Season

Abstract The study was conducted in the camel research center (CRC)( Shambat )to compare the effect of two hormonal protocols in ovulation induction in dromedary she- camel ( Camelus dromedarius ) during non breeding season. Number of eleven she – camels with varying age (6 – 17 years) and the average body weight from (250 – 350 kg ) and one male used for mating were selected for this experiment. The experimental animals were divided into three groups : group (A) control group ( N =3), ...

DEVELOPMENT OF SOLAR POWERED POULTRY EGG INCUBATOR

ABSTRACT: Chick production from developing embryo is a profitable business in Nigeria due to the high demand of protein. The constant failure of electricity supply in Nigeria obstructs operation of incubator and reduce its performance. This study developed solar powered poultry egg incubator. The dimension of the designed incubator was 610mm×607mm×1649mm with capacity of 150eggs. From the design calculation the sizes of the solar panel, charge controller, batteries and inverters requir...

Effect Of Milking System On Total Bacterial Count In Cow Raw Milk

Abstract This study was conducted to determine the effect of the milking system on the bacterial count in raw milk. This experiment was conducted on different milk samples taken from two different Aleppo systems. .The results showed significant differences (0.05) in the bacterial count of manual and automatic milking samples for bacterial types Bacteria (bacillus, staphylococcus, salmonella, E.coli , Streptococcus and micrococcus) (25, 16,7,25,0,8,0,25,16,7,16,8) respectively, where the resu...

Study on Contamination of Meat with Some Metals in Tambol area- Aljazeera State – Sudan

Abstract: This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of polluted groundwater , soil, fodder with heavy metals and trace elements such as (Chromium (Cr), Nickel (Ni), Zinc (Zn), Iron (Fe), Lead (Pb) and Manganese(Mn) in safety of cattle, sheep, goat and camel meat raised at Tambol area. Samples of groundwater, soil, fodder, animals meat tissues, vital organs ( liver, kidney and heart ) and blood serum were randomly collected to detect heavy metals traces by using flame atomic absorption ...
