Effect of Maintenance Distance from Cooling Pad Against Average Increase Body Weight of Broiler Chickens in Closed House Cages

Broiler chickens are good genetic quality as seen from their fairly fast growth. An intensive and controlled cage system can be found in the closed house cage system. Based on the research, the average weight of harvested chickens is not uneven, possibly unequal distribution of fresh air entering through the inlet. This research aims to determine the effect of maintenance distance from the cooling pad on the average body weight growth of broiler chickens kept in closed house cages with a size of 98 X 14 m. as many as 16,000 broiler chickens of the CP 207 strain are randomly allocated into 4 groups or flocks. The distance of flocks 1, 2, 3 and 4 from the cooling pad is 0 -24.5, 24.6 - 49.5 and 49.6 - 73.5, and 73.6 - 98m respectively. The results showed a marked difference (P<0.05) in final body weight. The highest body weight was obtained at the closest distance to the cooling pad and the lowest weight was obtained in the chicken that was in the flock farthest from the cooolig pad. It was concluded that the chicken's body weight is lower the farther the flock is from the cooling pad

Growth Performances and Carcass of KUB Chicken Fed on A Diet Containing Different Levels of Fermented Mixture of Rice Bran and Protein from Slaughtered House

Rice bran is a common poultry feed ingredients. However, its use is limited due to its high fiber content and low phosphorus content. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of feeding a fermented mixture of rice bran and PSW (RPSW) on the growth performances and carcass of KUB chicken. A mixture of two parts of rice bran and one part of PSH was fermented using rumen liquor for 5 days. Two hundred two-week-old KUB chickens were randomly allocated into four dietary treatments with different levels of fermented RPSW i.e.; 0, 10, 20, and 30% for treatments 1, 2, 3, and 4 respectively. Feed was provided ad libitum for ten-week observation period, and drinking water was always available. At the end of the feeding trial, chickens were slaughtered to measure carcasses and their components. The results showed that there were no significant differences in feed consumption and carcass percentage between treatments, but the final body weight, body weight gain, carcass weight, and organ weight of chickens fed rations containing 20 and 30% fermented RPSH were lower than those fed rations containing 20 and 30% fermented RPSH. 30% fermented RPSH. The control or ration was fed a ration containing 10% fermented RPSH. The results indicate that a fermented blend of rice bran and protein from slaughtered house waste incubated with rumen liquor for 5 days can be included in the KUB chicken diet up to 10%

The Effects of Nitrogen sources in the concentrates on N utilization and production performances of dairy goats

Studies in young goats showed that feeding different N supplements did not significantly affect growth rate, rumen digestion, or N metabolism. It is unclear whether this finding is also applicable to lactating dairy goats. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of combinations of barley meal with soybean meal, cottonseed meal, or urea in high energy concentrate on nutrient digestion, milk-feed efficiency, milk production, and Nitrogen balance in dairy goats fed on barley hay as a basal diet. Four isoenergetic and isonitrogenous concentrate with different N sources were formulated and fed on lactating Saanen goats in a 4 x 4 Latin square design. The results showed that lactating Saanen goats producing 1.3 to 1.5 litre of milk per day and fed on a concentrate containing 1.7 % N in a high energy diet capable to sustain similar milk protein and N balance as that given concentrate with 2.2 % dietary N. Total nutrient intakes, nutrient digestion, milk-feed efficiency and milk production lactating Saanen goats was not affected by the source of dietary N. The results indicate that including urea in a supplement can maintain a similar level of milk yield, milk protein and milk efficiency in goats as can the feeding of more expensive soybean and cottonseed meals provided there is sufficient readily available dietary energy

Growth and digestibility in finishing pigs fed various levels of raw mung beans (Phaseolus aureus [Roxb.] var. Berkin)

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate raw mung beans (Phaseolus aureus [Roxb] var. Berkin) as a source of protein and energy for finishing pigs. In the first experiment, 6 cross-bred (Landrace X Large White) boars of 53 kg liveweight were used to determine the digestible energy (DE) content of ground mung beans by substitution where 30% ground mung beans were included in a basal (wheat) diet at the expense of wheat. The DE content of mung beans was 16 � 0.9 MJ/kg DM. In the second experiment, 24 boars of 58 - 65 kg liveweight were allocated to 6 groups of four and individually fed diets containing 0% (control), 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% and 30% mung beans substituting for the same amount of soybean meal. All diets contained 14.5 MJ DE/kg and an estimated 0.65 g lysine/MJ DE.. Daily feed allowance was restricted to approximately 35 MJ DE. There was no significant difference (P>0.05) between treatments in average daily gain (ADG), feed conversion ratio (FCR), backfat (P2) or relative weights of pancreas, liver, kidney, stomach, small intestine and large intestine. The ADG and FCR were 0.96 � 0.02 kg and 2.60 � 0.05 units of feed/units of gain respectively, whilst P2 was 15.9 � 0.27 mm. The weight of the pancreas, liver, kidney, stomach, small intestine and large intestine relative to body weight were 0.15 � 0.01; 2.07 � 0.03; 0.39 � 0.01; 0.61 � 0.01; 1.96 � 0.03 and 1.41 � 0.03 per cent respectively. Organic matter (OM) and ether extract (EE) digestibilities were not affected by the levels of mung beans, but levels beyond 20% significantly (P< 0.05) decreased apparent digestibility of crude protein (CP) and increased digestibility of neutral detergent fibre (NDF). Under the condition of this study, this variety of mung beans can be incorporated in finisher diets up to 30% without negative effects on growth performance
