This study evaluated the impact of spraying hatching eggs of Japanese quail with Moringa oil solution on embryonic development, physiological parameters, hatchability, post-hatch chick growth, and bacterial load on the surface of the eggshell. Seven hundred and fifty quail eggs were divided equally into 5 experimental groups. Eggs in the 1st group were presented as a control (untreated eggs), while, those in the 2nd group served as control but were only sprayed with an organic solvent 70% ethyl alcohol. Eggs of the 3rd, 4th and 5th groups were sprayed with 2, 4 and 6 ml Moringa oil solution /liter, respectively. Embryo weight, body length, shank length, chick weight, chick body length, chick shank length, and hatchability tended to be significantly higher (P<0.05) in eggs treated with Moringa oil solution compared with control groups. While embryonic mortality, hatch time, egg albumen weight ratio, eggshell thickness, and egg weight loss ratio at 14 days of incubation were significantly decreased (P<0.05) in the eggs that were sprayed with the Moringa oil solution compared to control eggs. The means of RBCs, hemoglobin, PCV, total protein, albumin, globulin, T4 hormone and IgG were significantly increased (P<0.05) at 1 and 14 days of age. The white blood cell count was slightly increased in response to the Moringa oil solution. The body weight, body weight gain, and feed intake of chicks at 14 days of age recorded high significant values in response to spraying with Moringa oil solution. In contrast, the percentage of yolk residual at hatch was lower than that of the control group. Treating Moringa oil solution had a significant effect on TBC and coliforms on the eggshell surface after 24 h, 7, and 14 days of incubation compared to control groups. The number of total aerobic and anaerobic bacteria in the chicks and the total coliform bacteria count decreased. In conclusion, spraying Japanese quail eggs with a solution of Moringa oil as a natural disinfectant (pre-incubation) is a good way to improve embryonic development, hatchability, blood components","PeriodicalId":11538,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Journal of Nutrition and Feeds","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134997565","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One hundred - twenty male growing New Zealand White (NZW) rabbits six weeks old, with an average live body weight of 636.5±7.21g were randomly divided into eight groups (15 rabbits each). Each group was subdivided into three replicates. The 1st group (T1) was fed basal diet (16. 74% CP and 2504 Kcal/ Kg DM) free of additives and served as the control group. The 2nd group (T2) was fed a basal diet supplemented with 1 mg propylene glycol /kg diet, 3rd (T3), 4th (T4), and 5th (T5) groups were fed the basal diet supplemented with garlic oil (GO), Basil oil (BO) and thyme oil (TO) respectively, each at a dose of 400 mg/kg diet, 6th group (T6) was fed a basal diet supplemented with a combination of GO and BO at a dose of 200 mg of each oil /kg diet, 7th group (T7) was fed a basal diet supplemented with a combination of GO and TO at a dose of 200 mg of each oil /kg diet and 8th group (T8) was fed a basal diet supplemented with a combination of GO at a dose of 200 mg/kg diet, BO and TO at a dose of 100 mg of each oil /kg diet. The GO, BO, and TO oils used in this study were sprayed by 400 ml /kg diet v/w on daily pelleted feed intake to avoid loss of some volatile component of oils and to ensure the effect of essential oils in rabbit diets. The duration of the experiment was 8 weeks. The results showed that the rabbits received essential oils and their combinations showed a significant (P<0.05) increase in body weight, and daily body weight gain compared with the control group.

The first type (S1) incorporated immersed corn grains (CG) for 24 h (81.96 kg CG per ton, RS), while the 2 nd and 3 rd forms (S2 and S2) contained SB instead of 50 and 100% of CG on an energy basis, respectively. Experimental silages were offered ad libitum separately with a concentrate feed mixture on one of the experimental diets, D1, D2, and D3, respectively. The silage S3 had non-significant (P> 0.0 5 ) population of lactic acid bacteria, yeasts and aerobic bacteria compared to other silages. The DM, OM, CP, EE, NFC, and TCH contents of S1 were slightly (P> 0.05) higher than those of S2 and S3, while the opposite was happened with the NDF and ADF contents. The digestibility of CP and EE in all dietary groups did not differ. However, the digestibility of OM, NDF and ADF in the D3 was higher (P< 0.05) than in D1 and D2. Moreover, the D3 group recorded the highest values (P< 0.05) of silage consumption and palatability, while the lowest values for silage refusal were recorded compared to the D1. Milk production, fat corrected milk (FCM), and energy corrected milk (ECM) were (P< 0.05) higher for cows fed D3 compared with D1 and D2. Protein, lactose, and total solids, as well as solids not fat (%), were higher (P<0.05) for D3 than for the other diets except fat% was higher than fed D1. The feed conversion ratio (FCR) of cows fed diet D3 was better than that of cows fed D1 and D2 diets. Blood constituents remained unchanged and were within normal ranges.

Corn stalks ensiled with 25 kg of molasses per ton and 5 kg of urea was used as a control (CS). In a 4×4 Latin square experiment, 16 Ossimi rams (61.4±0.16 kg) were randomly assigned into four equal groups. The values of lactic acid, volatile fatty acids (VFA , s) and lactic acid bacteria (LAB) count were significantly ( P < 0.05 ) decreased with increasing PPP in ERS, while the values of pH and NH 3 -N were decreased. The values of VFAs and LAB count of ERS improved compared to CS, while pH and NH 3 -N were decreased ( P < 0.05 ). No mold was detected in the tested silages. While neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF), and total carbohydrates (TCH) values were decreased in ERS with increasing levels of PPP, the ash was significant ( P < 0.05 ) increased. Dry matter recovery (DMR) values were ( P < 0.05 ) higher with ERS than CS. There was no difference among ERS in terms of PPP levels for cumulative gas production (GP) up to 72 hours of incubation. Increased IVOMD, IVNDFD, and IVCPD values were associated with increased ( P < 0.05 ) feed intake of ERS. Digestibility of DM, OM, CP, NDF, and ADF increased (p < 0.05) with the increase of PPP in ERS; which was reflected in the increase of TDN and DCP. The increased PPP level in ERS increased N-retention ( P < 0.05 ). The TVFAs, acetate, bacteria number, and protozoa were increased ( P < 0.05 ) in the rumen of sheep with increasing PPP in ERS, while NH 3 -N values were decreased. No significant differences were shown in globulin, ALT, and AST in sheep blood plasma, while glucose was increased ( P < 0.05 ) with increasing PPP level in ERS. Also, the concentration of urea and creatinine were decreased. The values for hemoglobin, erythrocytes, white blood cells, and PCV followed the same trend. Fermentation characteristics of ensiled rice straw with the inclusion of PPP were improved and can be recommended as a feed source for sheep.","PeriodicalId":11538,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Journal of Nutrition and Feeds","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134997338","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Twenty dairy buffaloes (582 kg) and 12 dairy cattle (595 kg) in total were used, and they were each randomly divided into two symmetrical groups. The control group was fed untreated corn silage. MID/1 group (n=6 for cattle and 10 for buffaloes), fed corn silage treated with MID/1 inoculant. In vivo digestibility coefficients and nutritive value were determined using silica as an internal indicator. The feed intake, feed residues, dry matter (DM), organic matter (OM), crude protein (CP), crude fibre (CF), ether extract (EE), nitrogen-free extract (NFE) and lactate and acetate acids of treated and untreated corn silage and concentrate feed mixture (CFM) were determined. The milk yield, fat and protein percentages of lactating cattle and buffaloes were recorded daily. The nutritive value and digestion coefficients of DM, OM, CP, CF and EE in the MID/1 group were significantly higher than those of untreated corn silage. The milk yield was increased significantly by 9.02% for cattle and by 9.68% for buffaloes in the MID/1 group compared to the untreated group (27.8 and 11.9 vs. 25.5 and 10.85 kg/head/day, respectively).
