Nutritional Evaluation Of Hydroponic Corn Fodder And Its Effect As Substitute For Feed Concentrates For Buffalo Calves, Charity I. Castillo, Phoebe Lyndia T. Llantada, Cyril P. Baltazar, Mary Rose D. Uy-De Guia, Reynald D. Amido, Arnel N. Del Barrio
Nutritional Evaluation Of Hydroponic Corn Fodder And Its Effect As Substitute For Feed Concentrates For Buffalo Calves, Charity I. Castillo, Phoebe Lyndia T. Llantada, Cyril P. Baltazar, Mary Rose D. Uy-De Guia, Reynald D. Amido, Arnel N. Del Barrio

This study investigated the effects of hydroponic corn fodder on the growth performance of buffalo calves. Twelve Bulgarian Murrah buffalo calves were divided into two treatment groups: T1, fed with Napier grass and starter feed concentrates, and T2, fed with Napier grass, starter feed concentrates, and hydroponic corn fodder, replacing 50% of the starter feed concentrate. The study found no significant differences between the two groups' average total weight gain and average daily gain. However, the average daily feed intake was significantly higher in T2, possibly due to the tender and young nature of the hydroponic corn fodder. Dry matter …
Digestible And Metabolizable Energy In Ground Yellow Corn, Rice Bran, And Copra Meal Fed To 10 To 15 Kg Philippine Native Pigs (Benguet Strain), Mary Arnel D. Garcia
Digestible And Metabolizable Energy In Ground Yellow Corn, Rice Bran, And Copra Meal Fed To 10 To 15 Kg Philippine Native Pigs (Benguet Strain), Mary Arnel D. Garcia
The Philippine Agricultural Scientist
The experiment was conducted to determine the digestible energy (DE), metabolizable energy (ME), and apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of gross energy in ground yellow corn, rice bran, and copra meal when fed to Philippine native pigs. Nine barrows with an average initial bodyweight of 10 kg and ages ranging from 60 to 75 d old were housed individually in metabolism crates and randomly allotted to a triplicated incomplete 3 × 2 Latin square design with three diets and two periods. A corn-based diet containing 94.89% yellow corn and two diets containing 66.42% yellow corn and 30% rice bran or …
Alternate Day Feeding As A Cost-Effective Strategy For Tank Culture Of The Pacific Shortfin Eel Anguilla Bicolor Pacifica, Frolan A. Aya, John Carlo L. Unida, Maria Rowena R. Romana-Eguia, Nerissa D. Salayo
Alternate Day Feeding As A Cost-Effective Strategy For Tank Culture Of The Pacific Shortfin Eel Anguilla Bicolor Pacifica, Frolan A. Aya, John Carlo L. Unida, Maria Rowena R. Romana-Eguia, Nerissa D. Salayo
The Philippine Agricultural Scientist
There is a growing interest in the aquaculture of tropical anguillid eels as an export commodity. However, studies on feeding strategies, and the present demand to reduce feed costs need to be addressed to ensure the economic viability of eel farming. In this study, the effects of daily (DF) and alternate day (ADF) feeding on growth, feed utilization, body composition, blood chemistry, liver and intestinal morphology, and economic viability in the Pacific shortfin eel Anguilla bicolor pacifica were examined. Each feeding group of 30 elvers (166.25 ± 16.23 g mean initial wt) were randomly stocked in triplicate 4 m3 …
Reproduction, Early Development, And Larval Rearing Of The Climbing Perch Anabas Testudineus (Teleostei: Anabantidae) In Captivity, Frolan A. Aya, Reylan C. Gutierrez, Luis Maria B. Garcia
Reproduction, Early Development, And Larval Rearing Of The Climbing Perch Anabas Testudineus (Teleostei: Anabantidae) In Captivity, Frolan A. Aya, Reylan C. Gutierrez, Luis Maria B. Garcia
The Philippine Agricultural Scientist
Induced spawning, early development, and larval rearing of the climbing perch Anabas testudineus were examined under captive conditions. Five female climbing perch [125.33 ± 3.27 mm SL; 70.67 ± 5.59 g BW] were paired with apparently mature males (108.50 ± 3.97 mm SL; 39.27 ± 4.70 g BW) and induced to spawn with 5,000 IU human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) + 0.5 mL Ovaprim kg BW-1. All hCG + Ovaprim-injected fish spawned 9 – 11 h after hormone administration but saline-injected fish (control group) failed to spawn. Mean egg production per female, fertilization and hatching rates, and larval production …
Effect Of Vitamin C And Probiotics On Broilers Performance And Claudin-2 (Cldn-2) Expression Under Heat Stress [Research Note], Mohammad Chamani, Mohammad Chamani, Farhad Foroudi, Ali Asghar Sadeghi, Mehdi Aminafshar
Effect Of Vitamin C And Probiotics On Broilers Performance And Claudin-2 (Cldn-2) Expression Under Heat Stress [Research Note], Mohammad Chamani, Mohammad Chamani, Farhad Foroudi, Ali Asghar Sadeghi, Mehdi Aminafshar
The Philippine Agricultural Scientist
This study was conducted to investigate the effect of vitamin C and probiotic which consists of five species of beneficial bacteria and two species of fungi on performance, blood parameters, and intestinal CLDN-2 gene expression of broilers during heat stress (HS). A total of 400 broilers were randomly divided into five groups, each of which received a different treatment. The first group was considered a negative control and did not experience any HS (C-); the second group was considered a positive control (C+) and was exposed to HS; the third group received only vitamin C (250 …
Grow-Out Culture Of Oyster Magallana Bilineata (Röding, 1798) Using Pouches: A Comparison Of Growth And Survival In The River And Earthen Pond, Ma. Junemie Hazel L. Lebata-Ramos, Ellen Flor D. Solis, Mark Jude C. Almeida
Grow-Out Culture Of Oyster Magallana Bilineata (Röding, 1798) Using Pouches: A Comparison Of Growth And Survival In The River And Earthen Pond, Ma. Junemie Hazel L. Lebata-Ramos, Ellen Flor D. Solis, Mark Jude C. Almeida
The Philippine Agricultural Scientist
Oysters are among the most in-demand aquaculture commodities in the Philippines and worldwide. With the decreasing culture area and the deteriorating water quality of oyster beds, there is a need to explore new culture sites and techniques to address the problems of dwindling stocks and the increasing demand for better quality oysters. This study compared the growth and survival of the oysters Magallana bilineata, the new accepted name of Crassostrea iredalei, cultured in an earthen pond and the river using pouches suspended from rafts. Mean growth rates of oysters in length and weight were significantly higher in those …
Standardized Ileal Digestibility Of Amino Acids In Nacedero (Trichanthera Gigantea (Humboldt & Bonpland.) Nees) Foliage, Copra Expeller, And Soybean Meal Fed To Growing Philippine Native Pigs (Sus Scrofa Domesticus Erxleben, 1777), Mary Arnel D. Garcia, Rommel C. Sulabo
Standardized Ileal Digestibility Of Amino Acids In Nacedero (Trichanthera Gigantea (Humboldt & Bonpland.) Nees) Foliage, Copra Expeller, And Soybean Meal Fed To Growing Philippine Native Pigs (Sus Scrofa Domesticus Erxleben, 1777), Mary Arnel D. Garcia, Rommel C. Sulabo
The Philippine Agricultural Scientist
The experiment was conducted to determine the apparent ileal digestibility (AID) and standardized ileal digestibility (SID) of amino acids (AA) in nacedero (Trichanthera gigantea Humboldt & Bonpland.) Nees; NAC) foliage, copra expeller (CE), and soybean meal (SBM) fed to growing Philippine native pigs (Sus scrofa domesticus Erxleben, 1777). Eight barrows of Black Tiaong strain (initial BW of 36.44 ± 1.59 kg; 132 to 135 d) installed with a T-cannula at the distal ileum were housed individually in metabolism cages and randomly allotted to a replicated 4 × 3 Youden square design with four diets and three periods.
