This study was carried out to analyse the economic effects of early weaning and of feeding with diets containing different protein sources in early weaned piglets. One hundred and fourteen piglets were used in this study. Fifty-four piglets were fed by suckling their mothers for 20 days and they weaned on day 21 and they were equally assigned to 2 experimental groups and 1 control group. Sixty piglets were fed by suckling their mothers for 27 days and they were weaned on day 28. These piglets were also assigned to 2 experimental groups and 1 control group. The first experimental …

In an 83-day-nutrition trial, effects of feed production technique and feeding frequency on feed intake, growth and nutrient utilization were determined in European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax). Three thousand six hundred fish (170 ± 2.6 g) were randomly allocated to experimental sea cages (approx. 5800 l) according to a 2 x 2 experimental plan [2 processing techniques: steam pelleted diet (P) vs. extruded diet (E); 2 feeding frequencies: twice (2) vs. 3 times (3)]. The P3 group consumed significantly (P < 0.05) more feed than the fish fed extruded diets, irrespective of feeding frequency. Growth rates of all groups did not display any significant difference (P > 0.05) in terms of final weight (FW) or specific growth rate (SGR), although there was a decreasing trend in final …
