...(FCR) and decreasing the rearing cost of broilers by feeding a commercial broiler-feed. A total of 120 unsexed commercial broilers (Ross-308) were randomly assigned to four treatment groups that contained 1%, 2%, and 3% FO in regular drinking water, as well as a control group. All of the birds were given enough commercial broiler-feed and water. The performance gained by broilers after 30 days of rearing from all supplemente...

...main constraint in sheep rearing is the high price of protein source feed in tropical regions. Therefore, in this study, we substituted protein sources of the feed with urea which was processed with slow-release technology to avoid urea poisoning. Slow-release urea-impregnated zeolite (UZ) and Indonesia’s natural zeolite (Z) were examined using 24 heads of seven-eight months old of local male lambs (20.12 ± 2.1 kg BW) allotted to four treatments i...

The overall results conclude that periodic salinity fluctuation can affect adversely the growth of fish which is an alarming issue for tilapia farmers and other stakeholders. However, the compensatory development of certain traits through phenotypic plasticity can minimize at least these losses....

This study aimed to identify bacteria from the digestive tract of milkfish (Chanos chanos Forskal) and investigate their potential as probiotic candidates. Bacteria were isolated from the digestive tract of milkfish and identified using PCR technique and 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The probiotic potency was determined using amylolytic assay, synergistic activity, hemolytic activity, and antagonistic activity. Th...

...Information on livestock rearing by smallholder farmers is needed to see how successful the livestock business is and how much the livestock business contributes to the livestock farmer’s livelihood. We aimed to examine the husbandry system and income of beef cattle enterprises located in Luak Sub-district, Lima Puluh Kota District, West Sumatra Province, Indonesia. We used a total of ninetyseven farmers who agreed to participate in the study. We used su...

The silkworm eggs were hatched at a range of temperatures (21-30°C) and humidity levels of 75-80-% and 80-85% respectively. The silkworms hatched at optimal conditions were provided variable meals and the leaves consumption rate was calculated. In a separate experiment, the 5th ins...

...insect pests. Laboratory rearing of ladybirds often need live host, preferably aphids. Artificial diets prepared from different sources do not prove very successful due to complexity of preparation for coccinellid beetles. Short seasonal availability of aphids hinders the rearing procedures. Therefore, some alternate natural dietary sources are essential to continue the mass rearing of lad...

The identification of these animals through their size and silhouette was more noticeable in Group 3 (58.62%) than in Groups 1 (46.34%) and 2 (50%). The production objective of all farmers was the production of meat for consumption. All geese farmers face almost the same difficulties, such as diseases, mortality, theft, and predators. Goose farming in northern Benin was therefore family-based, with a diversi...

The possibility of short-term storage for adults and larval stages of seven spotted ladybird beetle under low temperature conditions was examined in the present study. The results showed that adults survived well up to five weeks of storage period at two temperature regimes. However, duration of cold storage affected the post storage survival of adult and larvae of C. septempunctata. Better survival was recorded in beetles sto...
