Self-selection of animal by-product by poultry through utilization of choice feeding
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
"The emergence of animal welfare provisions by humane societies has limited management practices. One of these provisions is the animal's freedom to express normal behavior. Animal by-product feeding to livestock and poultry ...
Phosphorus digestibility of corn and soybean meal (SBM) in broilers : in search of a consistent and reliable model to quantify individual ingredient contribution
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
Two experiments were conducted to determine true digestibility of Phosphorus (P) in feed ingredients commonly in commercial broiler diets. A second objective was to determine if the true digestible P values of corn and ...
The effects of reduced protein diets using the Missouri ideal turkey protein on male turkeys from 0 to 21 weeks of age
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
Protein is one of the major cost components in turkey diets. When diets are formulated on an ideal protein basis, the levels of crude protein decrease with the use of amino acids (AA); performance is maintained and feed ...
Efficacy of various wavelengths of light emitting diode illumination on efficiency and performance parameters of broilers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Lighting is essential for broiler growth, maturation, and reproduction. Globally, broilers are reared under various production systems including outdoor ...
Modeling the amino acid requirements of male turkeys from 0 to 21 weeks of age
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] An experiment was conducted to determine the effects of diets formulated using the ideal protein concept and modeled amino acid requirements with diet ...
Digestible amino acid requirements for young female turkeys
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Nine experiments were conducted to determine the optimal digestible isoleucine (dIle), valine (dVal), leucine (dLeu), phenylalanine plus tyrosine (dPT) ...
Effect of high peroxide value fats on performance of broilers in normal and immune challenged states
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
A series of trials were conducted in order to determine the effects of high peroxide value fats on performance of broilers in normal and immune challenged states from 0-49 days of age. In the first experiment, birds were ...
Effects of reduced protein, amino acid supplemented diets on production and economic performance of commercial broilers fed from hatch to market age
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Five studies were conducted to determine the effects of reduced crude protein (CP) of commercial boilers fed for further processing. In experiments(EXP) 1, 2, and 3, birds were fed diets with up to 1.5% reduction in CP. ...
Effects of low crude protein diets with amino acid supplementation on broiler performance in the starter period
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
A series of experiments were conducted to examine the effects of feeding low crude protein (CP) corn and soybean meal diets with crystalline amino acid supplementation to broilers from 0-3 weeks of age. It was hypothesized ...
Modeling EAA requirement and developing low fishmeal diet for yellow perch
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Overall, my dissertation research sought to enhance production of yellow perch by developing a low cost, complete diet for juvenile yellow perch by ...
The effect of various levels of yellow grease in pre-starter rations on performance of turkey poults
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
Nutritional intervention in the early growing poult can be a valuable strategy to decrease the stress experienced during the transition from endogenous yolk sac lipid reserves to an exogenous feed source. The objective of ...
Nutritional intervention in the early growing broiler chick
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
As the broiler chicken continues to grow faster and larger, the time to slaughter continually decreases. Broilers are commonly slaughtered at 5-8 weeks of age and so the post-hatch period has become a larger and more ...
The effect of reduced nocturnal temperatures on the performance of broiler chicks and hen turkey poults from 0 to 21 days of age
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
"The world population has increased over the past century and with this increase in the world population comes an increase in demand of animal protein for consumption. The United States produced 8.78 billion broilers and ...
