Lying behaviour is a high priority behaviour. Lack of lying and sleep has an impact on both production and welfare of dairy cows. Housing has a substantial effect on the lying behaviour, overall health and performance of dairy cattle. Each housing system has its own advantages and disadvantages in terms…
Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) is a vital support for neonatal infants with congenital or acquired gastrointestinal (GI) disorders and requiring small bowel resection. An adverse outcome associated with prolonged TPN use is parenteral nutrition associated cholestasis (PNAC). We previously showed that enteral chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) treatment reduced PNAC. We hypothesized…
This study evaluated effect of supplementation of attractants i.e. Luctarom Fish L and Luctarom Umami to diets containing lower fishmeal (FM) on feeding behavior and growth performance of white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei). Shrimps weighted 4g were stocked in 25 glass aquaria (240L, 50 shrimps/m3), fed following diets for 15d (n=5):…
Palatability enhancers have been used as feed additives to increase feed intake through improving diet preference for pigs in needs such as weanling piglets and lactating sows. This study was designed to test effect of supplementations of Luctarom truffle flavor and umami alone or both together on feed intake, lactation…
This study investigated effect of supplementation of functional palatability enhancers with milk cheese flavors to creep diet on growth performance of piglets. Crossbred sows and their litters (n=12; 12 piglets/litter) were pre-arranged randomly to two groups fed with creep diets supplemented with or without 2 kg/ton Luctarom Gold containing sweetener,…
This study investigated effect of supplementation of functional palatability enhancers i.e. Luctarom Gold with colostrum flavors to creep diet on feed intake and growth performance of weanling pigs. Total 56 Duroc piglets were selected from 8 liters with an average age of 7d and pre-arranged randomly to two groups (28…
This study aimed to test the use of chlorogenic acid (CGA), a natural antioxidant, which might act improving the retention of eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA) fatty acids. Fish were fed one of three experimental diets. A diet with 160 g kg−1 fish oil (FO) and 80 g kg−1vegetable oil…
Con el objeto de evaluar el efecto de un aditivo sensorial (ProEfficient ®, PE) sobre la respuesta productiva, composición láctea, peso vivo, comportamiento de pastoreo, y concentración plasmática de grelina, se diseñó un experimento por 56 días en primavera del año 2014, en dos periodos de 28 días, y donde…
Forty four Holstein dairy cows (156 DIM, 28.9 kg/d of milk, 648 kg of BW) were assigned to a 4 x 4 Latin Square design with 25-d periods replicated 11 times to evaluate the dose response to a sensory additive (ProEfficient, PE; Lucta S.A.) on eating behavior of dairy cows…
La conducta de descanso es muy importante para las vacas de leche y la falta de descanso y de sueño tienen un impacto negativo muy pronunciado sobre la producción y el bienestar de las vacas lecheras. Las instalaciones tienen un efecto sustancial en la conducta de descanso, la salud y…
