In Brazil, Anodontites trapesialis is a mussel species that occurs spontaneously in fish breeding sites. This species feeds on the remains of cultural treatments of other aquaculture species. The objective of the work is to understand the bromatological composition of mussel A. trapesialis. Individuals were selected to compose three samples of 500 g each of A. trapesialis for chemical composition, with viscera and viscera + shells being evaluated. The species presented 40.42 to 62.76 g of viscera per individual with a moisture content of 5.16% for viscera + shells and 86.5% for viscera. The mussel contains 42.6 and 12.96% crude protein, 3.16 and 1.76 of ether extract, 0.76 and 2.5% of crude fiber for viscera and viscera + shells. The total digestible nutrients were 74.16 and 36.96% for viscera and viscera + shells and 18.43 and 52.83% of mineral material for viscera and viscera + shells. A. trapesialis has relevant characteristics in its chemical composition as high protein content that gives the species potential for the human, animal, and other byproducts production.

This research aimed at generating and evaluating prediction equations to estimate metabolizable energy values in poultry offal meal. The used information refers to values of apparent and true metabolizable energy corrected for nitrogen balance (AMEn and TMEn) and for chemical composition of poultry offal meal. The literature review only included published papers on poultry offal meal developed in Brazil, and that had AMEn and TMEn values obtained by the total excreta collection method from growing broiler chickens and the chemical composition in crude protein (CP), ether extract (EE), mineral matter (MM), gross energy (GE), calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P). The general equation obtained to estimate AMEn values of poultry offal meal was: AMEn = -2315.69 + 31.4439(CP) + 29.7697(MM) + 0.7689(GE) - 49.3611(Ca), R² = 72%. For meals with high fat contents (higher than 15%) and low mineral matter contents (lower than 10%), it is suggest the use of the equation AMEn = + 3245.07 + 46.8428(EE), R² = 76%, and for meals with high mineral matter content (higher than 10%), it is suggest the equations AMEn = 4059.15 - 440.397(P), R² = 82%. To estimate values of TMEn, it is suggested for meals with high mineral matter content the equation: TMEn = 5092.57 - 115.647(MM), R² = 78%, and for those with low contents of this component, the option is the equation: TMEn = 3617.83 - 15.7988(CP) - 18.2323(EE) - 96.3884(MM) + 0.4874(GE), R² = 76%.

Altogether 19 fodder climbers were collected with local information for their quality, feeding season and preference by livestock from Sunsari district, Nepal. Fodder climbers were distributed under 15 angiospermic families. Among them, 6 climber species were analyzed for dry matter, crude protein, ether extract, crude fibre, N-free extract, total ash and mineral contents (K, Ca, and P). Dry matter content ranged from 24.12 to 45.43%. Crude protein content showed slight variation. Ether extract ranged from 2.13- 4.23%, while Crude fiber content ranged between 18.62 and 22.52%. N-free extract showed narrow variation in the content while Total ash content exhibited a wide variation ranging from 5.67 to 11.52%. Among the minerals, Phosphorus showed distinct variation in the content from 0.19 to 0.46%. Fodder quality assessed by local people was compared with the result of chemical composition. On the basis of local information and chemical composition, Hedera nepalensis and Hedyotis scandens were considered as very good fodder climbers.

Theoretical Procedure

To characterize the variability of 11 feed ingredients and their impact on the final feed, 728 ingredient samples were collected during 5 months in a feed-plant and were analyzed by near-infrared spectrophotometry (NIRS). Six diets for fattening pigs and gestating sows were formulated using regional information of ingredient chemical composition (reference): LIM, limited; EU, common European; and MULT, multi-ingredient; respectively, including 5, 7, and 10 ingredients. The formulas were replicated 15 times using actual chemical composition (NIRS) from three samples per ingredient and month. This theoretical procedure was validated through small-scale manufacturing 30 LIM-diets, which samples were proximal (PA) and NIRS analyzed for dry matter and crude protein (CP) contents. Those mixtures were also PA analyzed. The ingredients showed coefficient of variation (CV %) higher for crude fiber (CF) (2.6%–18.3%) than CP (2.0%–9.3%). Comparing all diets for all chemical components, variability was reduced when including more ingredients from 0.5%–5.5% to 0.3%–2.6% CV. In most cases, the actual chemical composition of the diets underestimated their reference formula (1.3%–10.8%, CP and CF). A deviation from the targeted diet occurs if variability is not regarded. Therefore, a proper method to predict ingredient composition and nutritional value before use may increase the accuracy of diet formulation between 2% and 10%.

SUMMARYFlocks of 9-month-old Merino and Border Leicester & Merino sheep were sampled over the full range of body weights present within flocks. Six pairs of ewes and wethers of equal body weight were taken. The sheep were weighed and slaughtered after a 36 h fast. Total weights of blood, skin, head, feet, internal organs and carcasses were obtained for each animal. Each component was analysed for ash, crude protein, ether extract and total energy. Half of each carcass was dissected into bone, muscle, fat and waste.The compositions of the sheep were compared by regression analyses of weights of body components on empty body weight (EBW) between the four groups and by means of percentages of EBW. There were highly significant linear relationships between both fresh and dry weights of body components, carcass components, and chemical components with EBW; moisture content was not related to EBW. Rates of change with EBW in weights of body components, or in amounts of ash, crude protein, ether extract and energy were the same for all groups of sheep with the exceptions of bone and skin ether extract (EE) weight. However, intercepts of regression lines frequently differed, indicating that body composition differed between groups at the same EBW.All groups had the same dry weight of blood, internal organs and muscle, weight of ether extract, and total energy in the whole body at the same EBW. Border Leicester × Merinos had lighter skins with less wool, but their carcass weights were higher than Merinos. There were other differences between breeds in the chemical composition of individual components. Wethers had heavier head + feet weights and carcass bone than had ewes. There were also some sex differences in chemical composition of body components. In general, there were fewer sex than breed differences in body composition. The breed differences cannot be explained on the basis of early and later maturing types.

The study was conducted to investigate the nutritive value and microbial status of different wholesale cuts of sheep carcass. The meat sample was obtained from 3 sheep. The ages of sheep were approximately of 1, 2 and 3 years. The wholesale cuts were shoulder, rack, loin and leg of each sheep carcass. The pH, juiciness, chemical composition, total bacteria, coliform bacteria, yeast and mould were studied to assess the quality of meat. The range of pH value were 5.077 - 5.927. The value of juiciness was decreased with the age. The value of dry matter, ash, crude protein, ether extract, calcium and phosphorus content of all samples were ranged from 23.32-30.40%, 0.88-1.027%, 20.50-24.88%, 8.10-12.13%, 0.012-0.038% and 0.048-0.185% respectively. Statistical analysis indicated that the value of pH, juiciness, dry matter, crude protein, ether extract, calcium, phosphorus and yeast (log value) was highly significant (P< 0.01) due to age and cut. Chemical composition, such as dry matter, ash, ether extract and calcium of all the samples increased gradually with the age, except crude protein, which decreased gradually with the age. The phosphorus content of the sample did not differ significantly due to age and cuts. The value of ash content was less significant (P<0.05) due to different cuts but highly significant (P<0.01) due to age. The range of total bacteria and coliform bacteria was 4.210-4.787 and 2.38-3.637/g of sample respectively. The range of yeast was 1.297-2.777/g of sample. Different meat cuts and ages did not show significant difference on total bacteria and coliform bacteria but in case of yeast, the value was highly significant (P<0.01) for the ages and cuts. Nutrient content of mutton varies due to different wholesale cuts as well as age. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjas.v37i1.9865 BJAS 2008; 37(1): 32-38

Effective industrial rearing of pigs is impossible without providing them with full-value vitamin-enriched feed. The lack of vitamins in feed negatively affects the productivity of animals. One of the simple and affordable ways to increase the vitamin value of feed can be the addition of sprouted grain to the diet of animals. According to many scientists, when germinating in grain, the content of macro and microelements, vitamins increases. When using sprouted grains, the eatability of feed increases and the absorption of nutrients increases, because in the process of grain germination, enzymes are activated that convert complex nutrients into simple compounds that are easily assimilated in the body of young animals. The efficiency of germination and the quality of germinated grain depends on the conditions of germination and lighting conditions during the growing period. In addition, during long-term storage (more than 4-5 hours) of sprouted grain with a moisture content of more than 60 percent, it begins to mold and rot. Therefore, it must be fed in the first hours after germination. To extend the shelf life of germinated grain, it must be dried to the required moisture content. (Purpose of research) To study the effect of the duration of illumination on the germination rate and the chemical composition of germinated grain of soybeans and lupine. (Materials and methods) We studied the germination technology and, based on the data obtained, adopted our own germination method. An installation was made for determining the time of illumination of grain during germination. Chemical analysis of the composition of soybean and lupine grains was carried out before and after germination, as well as after drying. (Results and discussion) We compared the results of studies on the effect of lighting time on sprout length when germinating grain on vitamin feed. Determined the values of the rate of obtaining shoots, specific energy intensity of lighting. Studied the chemical composition of the original grain of soybeans and lupine, germinated and dried - separately and in stages. (Conclusions) When germinating soybean seeds, the average growth rate for 5 days was 3.34 millimeters per day, and for lupine seeds - 8.4 millimeters per day. In the samples of sprouted dried soybeans, an increase in crude protein in dry matter by 4.23 percent, crude fiber - by 2.07 percent, sugar content - by 0.48 percent was revealed. They showed that the amount of crude protein and crude fiber increased by 2.3 and 2.38 percent, respectively. It was noted that the content of calcium, phosphorus and sodium in the samples of soybeans and lupine increased slightly - less than 0.2 percent.

A study was carried out to determine the chemical composition of roselle seeds fermented at varying durations. One kg cleaned Roselle seeds were soaked in 3L of water for 8 hours. The soaked seeds were drained and fermented for 0, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours as treatments. Samples of fermented roselle seeds at different duration of fermentations were analyzed for chemical composition including anti-nutritional factors. The results showed that there was significant (P<0.05) effect of fermentation duration on chemical composition and antinutritional factors of roselle seeds. Dry matter and crude protein content increased as fermentation duration increased from 0 to 96 hours. The highest dry matter (91.87%) and crude protein (35.05%) were obtained at 96 hours while crude fibre and ether extract decreased with increased fermentation duration. Crude fibre (6.55%) and ether extract (26.79%) were highest at 0 hours. Ash and nitrogen free extract content ranged from 5.41 – 5.78 % and 30.62 – 39.19 %, respectively. Anti-nutritional factor contents declined withincreased fermentation duration. The lowest values for saponin (2.02%), tannin (0.15%), phytic acid (5.44%) and trypsin inhibitor (8.93%) were obtained at 96 hours fermentation. It can be concluded that roselle seeds fermented for 96 hours enhanced nutrient availability and significantly reduced tannin, phytate, saponin and trypsin inhibitor anti-nutritional factors.

Swine wastes from swine breeding installations were treated in a pilot system of high rate algal ponds, and the Albazod biomass produced was harvested by autoflocculation and centrifugation. The chemical composition of Albazod biomass was determined in order to evaluate the potential of Albazod for utilization as a protein supplement to animal feed. The most important component in the Albazod biomass was crude protein and it varies according to detention time (there is an increase of crude protein when the detention time decreases). Besides the high protein content (for 3 days of detention time we have obtained 41.46% of dry matter for crude protein), the Albazod biomass is rich in minerals, which will enhance its potential as a favourable ingredient for animal feed.

A study was carried out to evaluate the productivity and chemical composition of heterogeneous grasslands at Agriculture and Forestry University (AFU) livestock farm. The four grassland ecotypes were chosen as upland north, upland south, lowland south and lowland north. The dominating herbage species and cover abundance by the botanical groups were studied on day before the harvesting. Later, the herbage dry matter productivity was estimated by quadrat cutting during May and June, 2017. Chemical analysis was done by using the proximate method for dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP), crude fiber (CF) and ether extract (EE) content. Research results showed that the AFU grassland dominated by perennial grasses and sedges followed by the forbs. The mean coverage of grasses and sedges was about 55%, whilst that of forbs was about 29% and the least was for legumes (about 4%). The cumulative herbage mass was about 1.53 t/ ha on the DM basis, whilst the highest DM was found in the upland-south (1.74 t/ha) and the least was in the upland-north (1.334 t/ha). The proximate analysis further revealed that the site had no effect on CF content, whilst the CP was significant only at the second harvest for the lowland north (8.34%).  Data revealed that the herbage composition might depend upon the soil moisture availability and geographical aspect. The dominance of perennial grasses at AFU grasslands revealed the yield stability, but needs the improvement through inoculation with leguminous forages for improved feed quality.
