The objective of this trial was to investigate the effects of feeding corn with different particle size (coarse vs. fine grinding) plus dried citrus pulp or soyhulls on performance of lactating dairy cows. Thirty-two mid lactating Holstein cows averaging 160 days in milk were randomly assigned to eight replicated 4 x 4 Latin squares with a 2 x 2 factorial arrangement of treatments. Animals were fed total mixed rations containing corn silage as the sole forage source. Each experimental period […]

The experiment was carried out to evaluate the use of five levels of sugar (0; 4; 8; 16 and 32%) in substitution to the corn in the feed of broilers from 1 to 21 days. Three hundred and twenty day old chicks, half male, half female, were randomly assigned to 20 box, with a total of 16 chicks/box. Water and ration were “ad libitum” fed during all experimental period. The diets were formulated to be isonitrogen and isocaloric. The birds […]
