Experiments were carried out with White Leghorn chicks to study the influence of starting diet composition on weight gain and bone growth. Increasing dietary protein level from 15 to 21% had marked influence on weight gain, tibia length and to a lesser extent, tibia weight for chicks reared to 4 and 7 wk of age. Length of tibia plateaued at lower dietary protein levels than did growth suggesting that weight gain, at a young age, is as good if not a better indication of frame size than is a measure of tiba length. While levels of dietary energy ranging from 11.29 to 12.97 MJ kg−1 did reflect changes in weight gain and tibia length, such changes were small in comparison to those noted with changes in dietary protein level. Increasing supplemental methionine level from 0.05 to 0.15% and a 50% increase in the level of calcium and available phosphorus did not enhance weight gain or frame size over the control diet. Body weight gain for the young chick was not enhanced by high dietary levels of methionine and lysine. Thus, the suggestion of rapid feather development increasing the requirement for methionine or rapid weight gain increasing the requirement for lysine at this particular age is not valid. Key words: Chickens, skeletal growth, weight gain

Tis study aimed to evaluate the embryo quality and embryo transfer rate of Thai crossbred goats fed different levels of protein in total mixed rations (TMR) during the hot season. Twenty-four non- pregnant Thai crossbred goats with an average body weight of 26±5.9 kg were assigned with a random complete block design (RCBD). Dietary treatments contained 8, 13, and 18 % crude protein (CP) in TMR. The feeding trial lasted for 42 days. Does (female goat) were scheduled to determine embryo quality by surgical laparotomy and flushing. At the end of the feeding trial, the digestion trial was conducted by the total collection method for a 5-day period. The results showed that the average total feed intake and feed conversion ratio did not differ among all treatments (p ˃ 0.05), however, digestible protein intake had increased from 70.39, 79.77 to 89.11 g/d in 8, 13, and 18 % CP group, respectively. Increasing CP levels in TMR resulted in linearly increased goat final body weight (30.25, 28.75, and 32.00 kg), weight gain (3.00, 4.00, and 4.25 kg), and average daily gain (ADG) (87.84, 114.87 and 121.63 g/d). Embryo quality (1, 1, and 3.5 morular follicle state) and pregnancy of embryo transfer rate (25, 25, and 50 %) of the animal received CP level at 8 and 13 % less than that 18 %. These results indicated that dietary protein level during program superovulation regimen affected the good quality of an embryo and the pregnancy rate in an embryo transfer in Thai crossbred goats.
