Abstract In order to limit the smoking tobacco sector crisis, a new non-GMO Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. Solaris was proposed as oil seed crop. Residues of extraction were successfully used in swine nutrition. The aim this study explore full potential innovative cultivar multitasking feedstock non interfering with food chain. triennium 2016–2018, samples from whole plant, inflorescence and stem-leaf biomass collected three experimental sites analysed for chemical constituents, including fibre...
This study aimed to evaluate carcass and meat quality traits in Masri (n = 14) North African male donkeys, raised a semi-intensive breeding system, grazing on mountainous areas, with supplementation of 1 kg barley per day animal, slaughtered at 5 (±0.48) years old. Compared Masri, the population exhibited higher (p < 0.05) final body weights (181.7 ± 2.1 212.5 7.6 kg) cold (101.7 1.3 116.2 4.5 kg), but lower dressing percentages (56.0 0.4 54.6 0.4%). Meat analyses showed cooking loss...
The aim of this experiment was to test the effects both dietary trace element supplementation and stage lactation on milk yield per milking major components, as well blood concentrations total Ca, P, Mg, Na, K in lactating donkeys. Over a 3-month period, 16 clinically healthy donkeys were used collect samples evaluate milking. experimental subjects randomly divided into two homogeneous groups, control (CTL) (TE). TE group fed diet supplemented with Zn, Fe, Cu, Mn, Se, Co, I. treatment did...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the concentrations Zn, Cu, Mn, Se, Mo, Co, Li, B, Ti, Cr, Rb, Sr, Cd, and Pb in donkey milk their distribution major fractions (i.e., fat, casein, whey proteins, aqueous phase). Individual samples were provided by 16 clinically healthy lactating donkeys. Subsequent centrifugation, ultracentrifugation, ultrafiltration carried out remove proteins obtain skim milk, a supernatant fraction, phase respectively. Concentrations elements measured whole...
Aim of this study was to evaluate the differences in Ca, P, K, Na, Mg, Zn, Fe, Cu, Mn, Se, Mo, Co, Li, B, Ti, Rb, and Sr concentrations milk from buffaloes cows reared same farm Mediterranean areas fed diets including ingredients. Individual samples were obtained 32 29 Italian Friesian milk, dietary ingredients drinking water analyzed for investigated chemical elements by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry. Data about element processed one-way analysis variance. Buffalo contains...
The aim of the study was to model lactation curves and assess physicochemical properties, amino acid, fatty acid profiles milk from two Mediterranean donkey populations, Masri (n = 14) North African 14), using Wood model. Over a period 205 ± 12.5 days, donkeys produced more (188.66 7.19 kg) than (163.42 7.21 kg, p < 0.05). Peak yields occurred on day 57 for (1.212 kg/day) 59 (0.991 kg/day), with similar persistency indices 7.21, respectively. had significantly higher protein (1.45 0.03...
The effects of Glycine max L. (SOY) vs. Pisum sativum (PEA) in the diet were investigated on vivo performance two medium-growing broiler genotypes and environmental impact. Sixty Kabir Red Plus sixty New chickens randomly allocated 20 pens (n = 6 birds per pen). Each pen, i.e., experimental unit, received 1.18 kg dry matter (DM) including soybean (3.39%) SOY, or pea bean (6.78%) PEA groups. DM intake, refusals bodyweight (BW) recorded pen basis, average daily gain (ADG) feed conversion rate...
A study was carried out to evaluate the effect of total replacement flaked soybean (Glycine max L., SOY) with raw pea (Pisum sativum PEA) on carcass and meat quality traits two medium-growing broiler strains (Kabir Rosso Plus, KB; New Red, NR). Birds were housed in 20 pens (five replications/groups, six birds each). At 83 days age, 40 (2/replication) slaughtered pectoral muscle (PM) removed for analyses. Diet did not affect slaughter weight, quality. diet determined a significant increase...
This study examined the use of an innovative tobacco variety, Nicotiana tabacum L., cv. Solaris, as forage. The whole plant biomass was ensiled, and composition SiloSolaris from bunker-silo mini-silos investigated. effects dietary inclusion on growth, welfare, nutritional profile sixteen Holstein heifers, divided into two groups (n = 8), (SS) Control (CTR), were Heifers group-fed diets with a 70:30 forage to concentrate ratio (on DM basis). Both received 16.24 kg mixture daily, including...
