Growth, fat metabolism and hepatic health in largemouth bass fed varying fat-level diets
Aquaculture ReportsThis 60-day experiment investigated the influences of growth, fat metabolism and hepatic health of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) fed varying fat diets. 225 fish (34 ± 0.04 g) were divided into three groups and fed diets with fat levels of 10 % (

Feed efficiency and surplus feed intake among Norwegian Red dairy cows
Journal of Dairy ScienceFeed in livestock production is a major cost driver and closely linked to GHG emissions from the sector. Hence, there is a lot of interest to improve feed efficiency of livestock and promote economic and environmental sustainability of livestock production. Residual feed intake (RFI) is one common indicator of feed efficiency of dairy cows.

Effect of genotype on duodenal expression of nutrient transporter genes in dairy cows [PDF]
, 2013 peer-reviewedBackground Studies have shown clear differences between dairy breeds in their feed intake and production efficiencies. The duodenum is critical in the coordination of digestion and absorption of nutrients.

Effects of frequency and period of feeding on growth and feed utilisation in two Asian catfishes, Pangasius bocourti (Sauvage, 1880) and Pangasius hypophthalmus (Sauvage, 1878) [PDF]
, 1998 Feeding to satiation in P. bocourti, resulted in higher growth with increased meal frequency. However, growth performance of two-meal or three-meal feeding was not significantly different at all.
