Use of prebiotics in companion animal nutrition is often considered advantageous over probiotics because the ease handling, ability to withstand processing and storage etc. While most studies on prebiotic use dogs have been done with processed food as basal diet, response relation homemade diet feeding not very well explored. The study was conducted evaluate effects dietary mannanoligosaccharide (MOS) supplementation nutrient digestibility, hindgut fermentation, immune antioxidant indices...
The study assessed the effect of dietary supplementation leaf meal mixture (LMM) containing condensed tannins (CT) on feed intake, nutrient utilization and performance sheep infected with Haemonchus contortus. Eighteen adult similar age body weight (25.03±1.52) were included in this out these, 12 single dose infective third stage larvae H. contortus at 2,000 per sheep. experimental allocated three different groups' i.e. negative control (NC; no infection), (C; infected) treatment (T;...
Fifteen adult Jamunapari goats (12–14 months; 18.83 ± 0.83 kg) were used to ascertain the effect of a phytogenic feed additive (PFA) on nutrient utilisation, metabolic profile, antioxidant status and immune response. The goats, randomly assigned three groups, fed standard diet supplemented with PFA at 0 (CON), 2 (PFA-2) 3 (PFA-3) % intake for period 60 days. Bodyweight recorded. At end experiment, metabolism trial was conducted. Blood collected fortnightly intervals assess blood metabolites,...
Abstract BACKGROUND Many studies have been conducted using purified prebiotics such as inulin or fructooligosaccharides ( FOS ) nutraceuticals, but there is very little information available on the prebiotic potential of raw products rich in and , Jerusalem artichoke JA ; Helianthus tuberosus L.). The present experiment aimed to evaluate effects tubers rats. RESULTS Seventy‐two Wistar weanling rats divided into four groups were fed for 12 weeks a basal diet fortified with pulverized at 0...
An experiment was conducted to study the effect of different dietary protein levels on performance, nutrient balances, blood biochemical parameters and thyroid hormones crossbred calves.Thirty (Bos taurus×Bos indicus) calves aged 3-5 months were divided into 3 equal groups 10 each fed graded crude protein, namely 100 (NP), 75 (LP) 125 (HP) percent Kearl recommendations for 105 d.The had access ad libitum oat hay as basal roughage.A metabolism trial 6 d duration at 90 study.Blood collection...
The study examined the effect of condensed tannins (CT) containing Ficus infectoria and Psidium guajava leaf meal mixture (LMM) supplementation on nutrient metabolism, methane emission performance lambs.Twenty four lambs ~6 months age (average body weight 10.1±0.60 kg) were randomly divided into 4 dietary treatments (CT-0, CT-1, CT-1.5, CT-2 0, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 percent CT through LMM, respectively) consisting 6 each in a completely randomized design. All offered basal diet wheat straw ad...
Little is known about biological significance of effects dietary Boron (B) and Calcium (Ca) interaction on health production farm animals. This a preliminary investigation to evaluate the B supplementation in lambs fed diets with (normal) or without adequate (low) levels Ca. Twenty-four crossbred ram were randomly distributed into four groups six animals each 2x2 factorial design namely, normal-Ca diet (NCa) low-Ca (LCa) 40 ppm (NCaB-40 LCaB-40). The paddy straw hybrid napier hay-based total...
Abstract BACKGROUND: Rice is one of the most commonly used cereal grains in pet foods. However, other cereals such as pearl millet, sorghum and maize have good amino acid profiles could be alternatives to rice diet dogs, thus sparing for human consumption. The aim this study was evaluate nutritional worth these dogs. RESULTS: Eight adult Spitz dogs (age ∼10 months, average body weight 6.14 ± 0.58 kg) were a 4 × replicated Latin square design compare effects dietary inclusion four cereals,...
To ascertain potent health-promoting effects of a synbiotic prepared using combination Lactobacillus acidophilus NCDC15 fermented milk and Cichorium intybus root powder in Labrador dogs, 15 adult female dogs were randomly distributed into three groups following completely randomized design. Group I was fed homemade basal diet alone served as control (CON), while the other two same supplemented with low- (LSL) high- levels (HSL) synbiotic. The experiment duration 9-weeks. results study...
Urolithiasis is a common problem in both ruminants and non-ruminants nutrition plays significant role predisposing urolithiasis.The nutritional factors mainly influence urinary constituents pH, which affect stone nucleation growth.While surgery can render patient stone-free, non-operative treatment modalities are required to prevent reduce the risk of recurrent urolithiasis.Moreover, long-term pharmacological therapy its potential side effects often lead subsequent failure.In this regard,...
The present study was designed to test diabetogenic activity of A1 and A2 casein hydrolysates other related pathological conditions, in murine species. 6 weeks old adult male wistar rats were selected first divided into 3 groups (n = 12) as Control, A1CH A2CH fed with respective hydrolysate diets for 50 days. On 51st day, each group 2 sub 6) diabetes induced one subgroup using Streptozotocin, which resulted groups. fasting blood glucose level biochemical, diabetic specific parameters...
The objective of present study was to ascertain the effect dietary inclusion moringa foliage on performance kids. Eighteen male kids were divided randomly into 3 groups and allocated control (CON), COT MOT groups. in CON group fed with total mixed ration (TMR) consisting wheat straw concentrate, however, offered TMRs replacing 25% cowpea foliage, respectively. responses various parameters studied during 120 days feeding. Intake dry-matter (DM) organic-matter (OM) significantly (p < 0.05)...
