Carcass Lab Report

2427 Words10 Pages

ABSTRACT

The experiment was conducted to determine the carcass characteristics and haematological indices of broilers fed diet supplemented with phytase additive at finisher phase. 180 birds were procured at day old and were brooded and raised for four weeks prior to commencement of the data collection. The completely randomized design (CRD) was used as the experimental design. There were 5 treatments (T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5) each replicating 3 with birds, treatment one was used as the control while the T1, T2, T3, T4, T5 were added phytase enzyme in powered form into the feed in the level of 10g/kg, 15kg, 20g/kg and 25g/kg respectively The Experiment lasted for four weeks (28 days) two bids were selected at random from each replicate and slaughtered …show more content…

Their cut parts showed no significant difference (P>0.5) although numerically T1 and T2 had higher percentage cut parts. This suggests that a combination of different strains of enzymes such as amylase, phytase and lipase when combine together according to Cowieson et al., (2006) will help to achieve optimal improvement on carcass characteristics of the birds.

4.2 Haematological Indices of the Broilers at Finisher Stage.
The Table below shows the Haematological analysis of the broiler birds fed with phytase enzymes.

1742 Words | 7 Pages

INTRODUCTION Acacia macracantha is a tropical legume that grows in semi-arid areas of Venezuela and is consumed by grazing goats, using its foliage, which can be up to 34.3% crude protein (CP) and 71.9% cell wall digesting 81.9% of dry matter (DM) of diets with up to 37.5% of the DM of the foliage (Nouel et al., 2006). That forage potential has suggested that it is possible to be used in rations for rabbits, finding that has secondary compounds that may affect the digestibility and the same can be neutralized or mitigated by various techniques as reported by Romero et al. (2010). Because forage potential was evaluate A. macracantha is proposed soaking methods at various temperatures levels to reduce the presence of secondary compounds as reports Makkar (2003), attempting to reduce these factors affecting the digestion and utilization growing rabbits.

Examples Of Agonizing Over In-Vitro Meat

1250 Words | 5 Pages

According to the Rio20 Conference, the concept of sustainability must include all social, economic and ecological effects [United Nations Office for Sustainable Development, UNOSD]. The United Nations approved that a sustainable society that includes all three mentioned factors must become every countries’ major aim [UNOSD]. However, the balance between society, economy and ecology is convoluted and, therefore, there have not been any successful cases. In-vitro meat is not yet a success, but it has been able to improve economic efficiency of meat production, reduce pollution and stop animal abuse. In other words, in-vitro meat is the one and only case that has kept successfully a balance between these three factors and will provide a good model for future generations.

Essay On Commercial Pet Foods

709 Words | 3 Pages

Attempts to replace nutrients that have been destroyed by heat with supplementary-and predominantly synthetic-nutrients can never compare nutritionally with the benefits and quality of natural, minimally treated nutrients. At present, there is no way to replace structurally altered fibers or denatured proteins. These alterations make heat-processed foods and their constituent nutrients less bio-available or beneficial, and certainly less effective in maintaining health, preventing disease, and helping the healing processes that normally follow injury. Structurally altered pet foods may actually contribute to health problems (e.g., food allergies or inflammation).
