Summary: The study examined the variability in nutritive values of dried paunch manure collected from harvested cattle and found that animal-to-animal differences significantly impacted all nutrient measures. Dried paunch manure has the potential to be used as a feed ingredient to reduce economic costs in livestock production, but a centralized processing system is needed for consistent product quality.

Summary: The study aimed to determine the ATTD of nutrients in different diets using CSM and SBM. The results showed that the choice of diet and indigestible marker significantly influenced the ATTD, with AIA being more suitable than Cr2O3 as an indigestible marker in digestibility studies in pigs.

Summary: Photosynthesis and respiration have opposite effects on dissolved gases in earthen ponds. Daily variations in dissolved O2 and CO2 strongly affect the appetite and feed utilization in Nile tilapia. Hypoxia and hypercapnia individually and combined amplify the effects on appetite, growth rate, and feed conversion, while digestion is improved in groups exposed to fluctuations in dissolved oxygen and carbon dioxide.

Summary: Two studies were conducted to establish carinata meal as a partial replacement of conventional protein sources. The results showed that when low glucosinolate carinata meal (LGCM) was used, it could be recommended to replace conventional feed ingredients at a rate of 12%. When high glucosinolate carinata meal (HGCM) was used, it could be recommended to replace conventional feed ingredients at a rate of 8%. This replacement had no deleterious effects on growth performance, gut histology, and tight junction proteins.

Summary: This study evaluated the nutritional value and amino acid profiles of digestate from a biogas plant as a substitute for rice bran in tilapia feed, and measured its effects on fish yields and production costs. The results showed that the digestate was more nutritious than rice bran, but its inclusion in the diets had no significant effects on fish growth and yield. Therefore, the study suggests that farmers can adopt tilapia growing systems with cheap feed to increase aquaculture production.

Summary: The optimal enzymolysis conditions for feather meal were found to be 60 min enzymolysis time, 60°C temperature, 1000 g/kg moisture inclusion, and 10 g/kg protease inclusion. Furthermore, enzymatic feather meal was demonstrated to be a suitable substitute for fish meal in tilapia diets, with no negative effects on growth, nutrient retention, and digestibility.

Summary: The study found that molybdenum intake in water has less impact on copper absorption and retention, compared to molybdenum supplemented in the diet. Steers supplemented with molybdenum in feed and water showed similar levels of copper absorption and retention.

Summary: The study showed that replacing soybean meal with an appropriate amount of sacha inchi meal significantly improved growth performance and feed utilization in red hybrid tilapia. However, high levels of sacha inchi meal resulted in histological abnormalities in the liver and intestine of the fish.

Summary: The impact of Eimeria on apparent retention (AR) of components and metabolizable energy corrected for nitrogen (AMEn) in corn, wheat, soybean meal, and pork meal was investigated. The results showed that Eimeria reduced the AR of crude fat (CF) and had a tendency to reduce the AR of dry matter (DM) and AMEn of ingredients. This indicates that Eimeria affects nutrient retention and energy utilization, regardless of diet composition.

Summary: This paper analyzed the effect of fermented feed, specifically grape pomace residue, on the nutrient apparent digestibility and overall performance of piglets. The study found that grape pomace residue had a positive impact on the production, digestion, and economic benefits of piglets, making it an ideal feed material.
