Nutrient digestibility in pigs

The aim was to study the effect of replacement of maize by wheat bran on growth and nutrient utilization of growing Large White Yorkshire pigs. Thirty weaned female Large White Yorkshire piglets were divided in to three groups with five replicates in each group and were maintained under identical management conditions for the period of 70 days.

The study made comparative assessment of dry vs. liquid feeding on growth, nutrient digestibility and economics of grower-finisher LWY pigs. Twelve weaned piglets (11.45±2.42 to 11.46±2.37 kg, 42-days of age) were assigned to two treatments - dry feeding (DF) and liquid feeding (LF) for 180 days. The LF was prepared by mixing basal ration with water at 1:2 (w/w) immediately before feeding. No significant difference was observed for feed intake. Body weight gain was statistically insignificant in growing, but was significantly high in LF in finishing period. No significant (P>0.

The ameliorative effects of DL- methionine and vitamin C against chronic lead toxicity in guinea pigs were studied and a comparison was done between the two ameliorating agents against adverse effects of 20 ppm lead. 32 weaned guinea pigs were divided into four groups of 8 animals under RBD and group G1 was fed on basal diet, G2 basal diet plus 20ppm lead, G3 basal diet plus 20 ppm lead plus 20 ppm DL-methionine and the G4 basal diet plus 20 ppm lead plus 500 ppm vitamin C for 90 days.
