Aceh International Journal of Science and Technology, 2013 Plant-derived materials are believed as potential nutrient sources to be applied in aquaculture. Although many studies to assess the benefits of plant extracts have been conducted, however effects of dietary katuk (Sauropus androgynus L. Merr.) on growth

Dietary phytate has a greater anti-nutrient effect on feed conversion ratio compared to body weight gain and greater doses of phytase are required to alleviate this effect as evidenced by prediction equations on growth performance, bone ash and phytate degradation in broilers. [PDF]

, 2018 The objective of this paper was to study the estimated breeding values (EBV) profiles for feed conversion ratio (FCR) over the growing period in eight generations of divergent selection for Residual Feed Intake (RFI) in Large White pigs. Data comprised 11790 weekly FCR collected on 1186 boars during a 10 week-period.
