Nutritional means of overcoming heat stress in laying hens and broilers.
(2003)The relationship existing between the broiler and the laying hen, the methods applied for estimating the effective energy using linear coefficients to five measurable components of interactions and their diet used in ... -
Nutritional quality of protein-rich feed resources for scavenging chickens.
(2014)For sustainable intensification of village chickens, it is imperative to explore the potential of non-conventional animal protein (NCAP) feed resources. The broad objective of the study was to assess the nutritional quality ... -
Nutritional restriction of the growth rate of broiler breeder replacement pullets.
(1971)No abstract available. -
Nutritive value of Acacia species and response of pigs fed on incremental levels of Acacia tortilis leaf meal-based diets.
(2013)The broad objective of the current study was to determine the response of pigs fed on incremental levels of Acacia tortilis leaf meal-based diet. Eight trees of each of the following five dominant leguminous leaf meals; ... -
Performance of feedlot cattle with reference to carbohydrate digestion of maize versus hominy chop.

Performance of Hereford and Holstein heifers on kikuyu pasture (Pennisetum clandestinum), using n-alkanes for determination of digestibility and dry matter intake.
(1995)Kikuyu pasture (Pennisetum clandestinum) is potentially the most important source of roughage used to feed dairy heifers in summer in KwaZulu-Natal. It is commonly believed that on kikuyu pasture beef breed females ... -
Physico-chemical attributes of Nguni chevon prepared and preserved using indigenous methods.
(2018)Abstract available in PDF file. -
Pollutant loads of dairy effluent and its potential on pig growth performance.
(2015)The broad objective of the study was to determine pollutant loads in dairy effluent and assess its potential in feeding growing pigs. The first specific objective was to assess water utilization and conservation methods ... -
Predicting the weights of the physical parts of broilers.
(2009)Breeding companies advertise their chickens as having been selected for heavier breast meat. However, when comparisons are made between strains, these are normally made at a common age, and under these conditions the ... -
Prediction of gut capacity of weaner and finishing pigs using physicochemical measurements of bulkiness of fibrous feeds.
(2012)Physicochemical properties of different fibrous ingredients were used to determine the influence of feed bulk on voluntary feed intake and gut capacity in weaner and finishing pigs. Physicochemical measures of bulkiness ... -
A production function analysis of fresh milk production in the highlands of Eritrea.
(2004)This study presents a production function analysis of fresh milk producers in the Highlands of Eritrea for the year 2002, dealing with the most important factors of production. Most dairy farmers are located in the Central ... -
Prophylactic strategies in the control of African horse sickness.
(2008)African horse sickness (AHS) is a non-contagious viral disease transmitted by an arthropod vector and is endemic to sub-Saharan Africa. The disease affects all equine species, but is more severe in horses and other equid ... -
Response in antioxidant activity and shelf life of meat from broilers fed on incremental levels of Vachellia tortilis leaf meal.
(2018)The broad objective of the study was to determine the antioxidant activity and shelf life of meat from boilers fed on incremental levels of Vachellia tortilis leaf meal. One hundred and twenty Cobb-500-day old unsexed ... -
Response in carcass yield, organ weights and the gut morphology to Vachellia tortilis inclusion in broilers.
(2018)The broad objective of this study was to determine the response to incremental levels of Vachellia tortilis leaf meal on carcass yield, organ weights and gut morphology of broilers. Five-hundred unsexed cobb 500-day-old ... -
Response in fertility of windsnyer boars to increasing α-tocopherol supplementation.

Response in physicochemical characteristics of broiler meat to incremental levels of vachellia tortilis leaf meal
(2018)The broad objective of the current study was to determine the relationship between inclusion levels of Vachellia tortilis and physicochemical attributes of broiler meat. A total of 120 Cobb 500 broilers were randomly ... -
The response of broiler breeder hens to dietary lysine : hatchability, embryo growth and subsequent offspring performance.
(2011)This study was conducted to determine the effects of breeder hen dietary lysine on offspring performance. In trial 1, Cobb 500 broiler breeder hens were fed 1200, 1070, 930 and 800 mg lysine/bird/d from 26 to 60 weeks of ... -
Responses in growing pigs to lysine and threonine limiting feeds and environmental temperature.
(1996)In this thesis two experiments were conducted. The objective of the first experiment was to measure the response of a range of dietary threonine concentrations and environmental temperatures on the performance of young ... -
A retrospective study of in situ and in vitro considerations in horse nutrition management.
(2017)The current changes occurring in equine feeding management to meet performance demands, do not take into consideration the repercussions on the digestive tract. The aim of this investigation was to determine the linkage ... -
Some factors affecting weaning weights of calves.
(1996)A mixed model study was carried out on the field data records of 9798 Simmmental and 1725 Hereford calves born during the period 1992 to 1994, and obtained from the Animal Improvement Institute, Irene. The records were ...
