Liver abscesses and performance in feedlot cattle as influenced by dietary roughage level and tylosin inclusion.
(2003)The focal interest of this study was the problem of liver abscesses that occurs in intensively fed beef cattle. The literature on metabolic disorders and diseases associated with feeding high concentrate diets to beef ... -
Livestock ownership by gender and seasonal impact on production : a case study at Msinga Municipality.
(2015)Research was conducted at Msinga Municipality focusing on identifying limiting factors on goat and cattle husbandry and evaluating the degree to which seasonal changes could affect goats and cattle production. Msinga ... -
The long and short term effects of Leucaena leucocephala on ram fertility.
(2000)No abstract available. -
Matching the nutritional requirements to performance in broiler breeder hens.
(1997)Quantitative food restriction during the rearing and laying period has become the standard management procedure in commercial broiler breeder operations to control the rapid growth rate of broiler breeders. This raises ... -
Meeting nutritional requirements of mature broiler breeder hens.
(2001)The overall objectives of this study were to compare the response of broiler breeder hens to dietary lysine at peak rate of lay and late in the laying cycle when rate of lay has declined, to compare the coefficients of ... -
Meeting the amino acid requirements of growing pigs by manipulating the feeding schedule.
(2006)Three experiments were designed to find the most efficient and cost-effective method of meeting the changing amino acid requirements of male and female pigs during the growing period, using the minimum number of feeds. ... -
Mineral and nutrient evaluation of horse feeds and fodder in South Africa.
(2015)Little information is available on the nutrient, and particularly the mineral provision of fodder and feed in the South African horse industry. Rational feeding models are not applied, and inadequacies in the ration are ... -
Molecular diagnosis of African horse sickness.
(2018)African horse sickness (AHS) is a viral disease of equids caused by the African horse sickness virus (AHSV), a double-stranded RNA virus of the genus Orbivirus. The disease had a devastating effect on the sporting horse ... -
Morphometric characteristics and consumer acceptability of meat from Potchefstroom Koekoek, Black Australorp, Venda and Ovambo chickens.
(2012)Indigenous chicken production receives little institutional support and resources because of lack of information on the socioeconomic importance, morphometric characteristic and meat quality of indigenous chickens. A cross ... -
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.
(1997)No abstract available. -
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 ...
