Regional food security in south-central Appalachia: Connecting diet, land requirement, and agricultural carrying capacity
… geographies in order to describe how place-based diets influence agricultural land use and the degree to which a discrete agricultural land base can feed a population. This thesis used two models to integrate data from across the agricultural and nutritional sciences to test the capacity of …

Practical Strategies to Maximize Cockatiel Health and Broiler Chicken Performance
There are various methods of processing avian diets. However, the two common methods of processing include grinding, batching, mixing, and feeding the resultant mash that is not thermally processed, extrusion processing, baking, and steam conditioning and pelleting. The method of processing …

The Impact of Altered Diet Presentation on Time Budget of Research Housed Rhesus Macaques (Macaca Mulatta)
… in order to find and process a wide variety of dietary resources. Captive rhesus are not faced with the same challenges when it comes to accessing dietary resources to meet their daily caloric need. Standard diet presentation for research-housed rhesus macaques involves placement of the …

Barley silage harvested at boot and soft dough stages for lactating cows
… cows were fed boot silage at 75 and 60% of diet DM, SD-Lo fed at 75 and 60 and SD-Hi fed at 75 and 60, respectively. Milk yields (kg/d) were greatest for high concentrate diets and averaged 25.7, 28.3, 24.8, 26.3, 25.7 and 26.9, respectively. There were no differences among diets for DM …

Diet Analysis of Burbot from Eastern Lake Michigan: 1999-2012
… in the lake. I used a collection (1999-2012) of diet samples from burbot from eastern Lake Michigan to evaluate temporal alterations in burbot diet with particular attention to non-native vs. native forage. Catch per unit effort (burbot/net · day) decreased from a high of 5.82 burbot/net · day (± …

Isoquinoline alkaloids in diets for young growing pigs improve nutrient digestibility and gut health
… alkaloids (IQ) in corn-soybean meal (SBM) diets fed to young growing pigs on growth performance, gut health, energy and nutrient digestibility, and digestible energy (DE) and metabolizable energy (ME) concentrations in the diets. In the first experiment, 32 ileal cannulated barrows (12.19 ± …

Digestible Energy and Carbohydrates in the Nutrition of Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus Linn.)
… regression equations which included measures of dietary protein, available carbohydrate and fibre. Factors affecting feed digestibility were also investigated. With soybean meal, it was shown that DE was significantly greater when this feed was given to tilapia as a component of a complete diet …

Diet-induced thermogenesis in the domestic chicken
… the first experiment, and by force-feeding the diet to crop capacity in the subsequent trials. Feed restriction was accomplished by providing 75% of ad libitum intake each day. Both low-weight (LN) and high-weight (HN) chicks reduced their voluntary feed intake when glucose solutions were …

Inclusion of lupin meal and effect of a commercial feed supplement (Synergen™) in diets for carp, Cyprinus carpio
… Plant proteins are mainly used to formulate diets for carp. Soybean meal (SBM) is one of the most nutritious of all plant protein sources in carp feeds. However, an increase in the use of soybean meal for human consumption and animal feed in both developed and developing countries has …
