This study aimed to evaluate the impacts of dietary supplementation of sodium butyrate (SB) on antioxidant biomarkers, immune response and caecal tonsils (CT) histomorphometry of quail. A total of 240 one-day-old quails were randomly allocated into four groups with three replicates each. The first group was fed a basal diet (BD) without SB (control, T1), the 2nd group fed 1 g SB/kg BD during the first period from 0-3 weeks, then BD until the sixth week as early short feeding SB (ESFSB, T2), the 3rd group fed 1 g SB/kg BD during the whole period from 0-6 weeks as long feeding SB (LFSB, T3), and the 4th group fed BD from 0-3 week then fed 1 g SB/kg BD during the second period from 3-6 weeks as late short feeding SB (LSFSB, T4). The SB supplementation in quail diet significantly increased (P<0.05) serum total antioxidant capacity and declined malondialdehyde level compared with the control group. The inclusion of SB had a higher immune response through the increase of SRBCs titer value (P<0.05) in ESFSB, LSFSB and LFSB groups than the control group. Histomorphometry parameters of CT were significantly improved in ESFSB and LFSB compared the control. The LFSB group fed a diet containing SB from 0-6 weeks had better antioxidant biomarkers, immune response and histomorphometry parameters of CT of quail. In conclusion, it is suggested feeding quail on diets containing SB through the whole growth period to display its positive influence on the antioxidant biomarkers and immunity of quail

Aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of inclusion dried leftover food (DLF) in the ration of crossbred calves (Balady x Friesian), on their growth performance, rumen function and blood parameters through a comparative feeding trial. Fifteen male crossbred calves (258±1 kg), were randomly assigned into three similar groups (five in each) and fed the tested rations for 16 weeks, as an experimental period. The tested rations were formulated from concentrate feed mixture (CFM) that partially substituted by 0, 20 and 40% of DLF for CFM1, CFM2 and CFM3, respectively, plus bagasse as a roughage portion for formulate the experimental rations R1 (control), R2 and R3 as tested one, respectively. Results showed that most nutrient digestibility coefficients and feeding values were improved with the higher level of DLF (40%) in ration, than R2 and R1 (control). NH3-N and pH values in rumen liquor were decreased with increasing the level of DLF up to 40% (R3) in rations. The vice versa trend was found among dietary treatments respecting TVFA´s concentrations in the rumen. Insignificant differences among tested rations in respect of most blood metabolites were found. Total body weight gain and daily gain were significantly higher only with (R3) than those of R1 (control). Economic efficiency was improved by feeding ration that contained 40% DLF (R3) in comparison with R1. This study concluded that considerably to use dry leftover food up to 40% level could be recommended for formulation the rations of crossbred cow calves.

A 360 - Sudani ducklings (180 ♂+ 180 ♀) - 26 d-old, weighed and allocated for eight groups (four groups from each sex) to assess the impact of dietary Echinacea purpurea (EP) addition (0, 2.5, 5.0 and 7.50 g/kg diet) in a factorial design (4 × 2) on productive performance and economical efficiency during summer season. Results indicated that, all studied traits of growth performance were (P ≤ 0.01) higher for ducklings males than females through the studied period (26-110 day). However, dietary EP addition resulted in a significant (P≤0.01) improvement in body weight gain and feed efficiency during the whole studied period than control. Dietary EP addition (P≤0.01) enhance lymphocytes (L) cells (%), decrease in heterophils (H) cells (%) and H/L ratio than the control. Serum triglycerides was significantly increased for females than males ducklings, whereas, it significantly attenuated by EP supplementation comparing with control. Antioxidant enzymes activity were significantly enhanced by different EP addition, while MDA was significantly decreased comparing with control group.Abdominal fat (%) was significantly attenuated by EP addition than the control, but total edible parts (%) was (P≤0.01) higher with 5.00 and 7.50 g EP/kg addition. Economic efficiency significantly enhanced by feeding 2.50 g EP/ kg diet than the control and other EP groups. So that, dietary EP addition with 2.5 g/ kg could be maximize and improve the growth, carcass traits and economical efficiency of Sudani ducklings especially males during growth period under Egyptian summer conditions.

The present study was conducted at Shakshouk Fish Research Station, Fayoum Governorate, National Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries (NIOF), Egypt to investigate the effect of protein sources (fish meal (FM), meat meal (MM), and FM + MM and plant protein (corn gluten meal CGM)) on growth parameter, feed utilization, carcass chemical composition and economic efficiency. Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) juvenile with an average weight of 3 ±0.13g initial body weight were randomly distributed into eight rectangular fiberglass tanks of 1.5 m 3 water capacity at a rate of 40 juveniles/ tank. The experment was carried out from 21 September 2019 and continued for 80 days. The result showed that, survival rate was within the range 86.25–97.50%, with significant differences were observed. The highest total weight gain, daily gain and SGR values were obtained with the FM diet compared with the other diets (FM+MM, MM and CGM).The best FCR (lowest) was recorded with shrimp fed on FM, with insignificant differences among (FM, MM and FM+MM).The worst FCR was recorded with shrimp fed on CGM. The lowest protein content was recorded with shrimp fed on CGM; also the highest content of EE was with (CGM) diet. The best net returned and economic efficiency was recorded with diets contained fish meal followed by diet contained fish meal + meat meal then meat meal and the least CGM.These results indicated that the best growth rate for shrimp was obtained with feeding FM diet then feeding on FM+MM and MM diets under experimental conditions.

There are major changes in livestock production and red meat consumption trends throughout the world, particularly in emerging and developing countries due to various factors. The livestock sector as a source of red meat production has significant potential and an important contribution to the agro-economy development of the Kurdistan region of Iraq. Most of the farm animals are reared in the Sulaymaniyah governorate. Mainly, Cattle (6.7%), Sheep (72.45%), goats (20.7%), and buffalo (0.15%) are the most farm animals in the Sulaymaniyah governorate. Although The area has vast pastures which can make it capable to make progress in the livestock industry, currently livestock farming is declining and the number of large and small ruminants has decreased meanwhile importing animals from abroad for red meat has increased to meet the market demand. Furthermore, a further decline in the number of small and large ruminants may harm the sustainability of the agricultural sector Kurdistan region in general and in particular Sulaymaniyah governorate. This paper reviews ten years (2009 to 2018) records of slaughtered cattle, sheep and goats in Sulaymaniyah governorate, Kurdistan region – Iraq aiming to determine trends in production and consumption patterns of red meat products in Sulaymaniyah city, Kurdistan region and identify opportunities for developing livestock production industry in Kurdistan region.

Reproductive data of Egyptian Friesian heifers were collected from 1979 to 2013 to study the normality of fertility traits (age at first breeding, age at successful breeding, age at first calving, number of services per conception, conception rate and service period) and to examine environmental factors affecting these traits. A secondary objective was to compare different age at first breeding and its effect on fertility traits of heifers. Age at first breeding, age at successful breeding and age at first calving exhibited symmetrical distribution (bell shape), however number of services per conception, conception rate and service period exhibited lack of symmetrical distribution (L shape). Square root transformation decreased the variability for number of services per conception and conception rate however logarithmic transformation was the best for service period. Youngest heifer at first breeding (13 mo.) needed only one service to be pregnant with zero SP and CR was near to 100%.
