Four total mixed rations (TMR) were formulated to contain 0, 10, 20 and 30% of corn DDGS.Digestibility trails were carried out using 3 meal barki sheep for each diet. Results showed that the animals fed TMR3 with 20% CDDGS recorded significant increase in digestibility of DM, OM and CP (69.69%, 72.97% and 70.89% respectively) compared to other ratios. The nutritive value as DCP increased significantly (P<0.05) with 20% DDGS total mixed ration.  Rumen fermentation parameters were determined using 3 cannulated female barki sheep. The pH values increased, however total volatile fatty acid and ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N) concentration decreased significantly (P<0.05) with supplement TMR2 andTMR4 (10 and 30% DDGS). While animal fed TMR1and TMR3 showed highest (P<0.05) of total volatile fatty acid. Values of the effective degradability (ED) of dry matter (DM) at assumed ruminal passage rate of (0.039h-0.043-1) ranged from 43.67 to 46.45%, and exhibited significant decreased (P<0.05) with adding 10, 20, 30%DDGS respectively than control diet. The effective degradable crude protein (EDCP) and ruminal undegradable protein (RUP) ranged from 56.93to48.13% and from 43.07to51.86% respectively for DDGS containing ratios and control ration. A Lactation trial using 16 lactating dairy cows showed significant increase in milk yield and composition (FCM4%- fat) for the 20% DDGS containing rations compared with other diets.}, keywords = {}, url = {https://jappmu.journals.ekb.eg/article_71564.html}, eprint = {https://jappmu.journals.ekb.eg/article_71564_3db926b7da3bd214c08a8e6ba0d65e97.pdf} } @article { author = {Abdelhamid, A. and Seden, M. and Zenhom, O.}, title = {EFFECT OF DIFFERENT SOURCES AND LEVELS OF SOME DIETARY BIOLOGICAL ADDITIVES ON: I-GROWTH PERFORMANCE AND PRODUCTION ECONOMY OF NILE TILAPIA FISH}, journal = {Journal of Animal and Poultry Production}, volume = {4}, number = {11}, pages = {615-634}, year = {2013}, publisher = {Mansoura University, Faculty of Agriculture}, issn = {2090-3642}, eissn = {2090-3723}, doi = {10.21608/jappmu.2013.71631}, abstract = {The present study aimed to investigate the effect of dietary graded levels of Aqua Superzyme, Garlen Allicin, and Diamond V (Original XPC) on the growth performance and economic production of Nile tilapia fish (10 g initial bodyweight) for 16 weeks in indoor feeding experiment.

One hundred and three farmers were randomly selected from six villages and interviewed with a structured questionnaire. Results revealed that the average family size was 5.82 household members from which 1.84 males and 0.38 females participating in agriculture activities. The average (±SE) farm size in the study area was 7.55 ± 1.36 acres .The area cultivated with animal fodder ranged from 30 to 32.5% around the year. The percentage of cattle in the total herd size was 52.88% which was more than other animal species in the herd.  Preference for buffalo was very low (1.57%).  The second important animal contributing towards the total herd size was goat (20.94%). Livestock alone contribute 49.44% of the total agriculture income in the study area. Within the livestock sector; cattle contribute the highest (42.93%). Small ruminants contribute a mere 5.27%. Nevertheless, the study showed that small ruminant enterprise is economically viable.  Small ruminants provided a return of 19.8% from capital invested. This exceeding the returns obtained from various crop production enterprises. These findings have important implication for the improvement of small ruminant enterprises of households in the Oasis. Making farmers aware of the financial benefits of small ruminants may convince them to consider it as a better alternative to crop production in the study area in terms of income generation. This will probably influence their decision on the allocation of their limited resources to the competing alternatives.  }, keywords = {Kharga Oasis,New Valley Governorate,livestock,Small ruminants household farm income}, url = {https://jappmu.journals.ekb.eg/article_71612.html}, eprint = {https://jappmu.journals.ekb.eg/article_71612_3b5c529ee53b2a4e363ef9fef29060a7.pdf} } @article { author = {Abo Egla, El-Samra and Ismail, F. and Sherif, Kh. and Hassan, R. and Ibrahiem, Hanaa}, title = {EFFECT OF MANNAN OLIGOSACCHARIDE AND VITAMIN E SUPPLEMENTATION ON PRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE OF LOCAL STRAIN OFLAYING HENS SUBJECTED TO OCHRATOXIN-A CONTAMINATION}, journal = {Journal of Animal and Poultry Production}, volume = {4}, number = {11}, pages = {683-699}, year = {2013}, publisher = {Mansoura University, Faculty of Agriculture}, issn = {2090-3642}, eissn = {2090-3723}, doi = {10.21608/jappmu.2013.71606}, abstract = {In this study, mannan-oligosaccharide (MOS) and vitamin E (Dl-α-tocopheryl acetate) were used as feed supplements to ameliorate the deleterious effect of Ochratoxin-A (OTA) on laying hens productive performance, some blood constituents  and egg quality.
