…the diet of boars influenced semen characteristics, concentration, motility, and morphology. Twenty-seven boars from two age groups (7 months and 18 months) and two genetic lines (maternal and terminal) were…
…carcass yield (73.7, 74.2, 74.1, and 74.5%) and reduction (quadratic, P=0.074) in backfat (15.7, 16.3, 15.7, and 15.0 mm) were also observed with increasing SID Lys. Carcass ADG (0.63, 0.72,…
Recent data has indicated that interactions among the branched-chain amino acids, specifically valine and leucine, can negatively influence broiler performance and carcass traits. Therefore, an experiment was conducted to observe…
…soybean meal (SBM) on broiler live performance, carcass and cut-up parts yield, and meat fatty acid composition. These extruded SBM were produced in the same location under similar processing conditions….
The objective was to evaluate the effects of porcine respiratory and reproductive syndrome virus (PRRSV) infection and dietary soy isoflavone supplementation on carcass cutability and meat quality of commercial pigs….
This study investigated the effect of low and high protein diets formulated based on net energy (NE) and metabolized energy (ME) on live performance and carcass characteristics of 7-32 day…
…carcass characteristics. Feather dry matter, protein, and amino acid compositions were determined from the last 5 primary feathers of 1 bird per pen. Data were analyzed as CCD using the…
…harvested to evaluate dietary impact on carcass characteristics. Data were analyzed using the GLIMMIX procedure of SAS v9.4 (SAS Inst., Cary, NC). Castrated males fed the control diet had reduced…
…inhomogeneous nutrient content distribution in particles of different sizes and the characteristics of particles may be reasons for inconsistent findings. The objective of the present study was to determine the…
A Brazilian research team evaluated the effect of replacing corn grain with crude glycerin on performance, carcass traits, and yield of commercial carcass cuts of beef bulls finished on feedlot….
