Animal/Poltry Nutrition

Innovations in silage and hay preparation are essential for improving the efficiency and quality of animal feed, ensuring better nutritional value, and enhancing the overall productivity of livestock operations. Here are some innovative approaches in the preparation of silage and

Spectrophotometry is a powerful analytical technique used to measure the concentration of mineral elements in biological samples, such as animal feed, tissues, blood, urine, and other fluids. This technique involves the measurement of light absorption at specific wavelengths, which is

The Flame Photometer (FP) is a specialized analytical instrument used for measuring the concentration of metal ions in animal feed, biological samples, and animal tissues. It is commonly used for detecting alkali and alkaline earth metals such as sodium (Na),

Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) is a widely used analytical technique in animal nutrition for separating and identifying compounds present in biological samples, such as feed, food, or animal tissues. The application of TLC in animal nutrition includes: 1. Identification of

Vitamins Vitamin A Role of Vitamin A • Synthesis of glycoprotein to maintain integrity of epithelial cells. • In bone formation synthesis of mucopolysaccharides. • Synthesis of the visual pigment Rhodopsin. • Retinol and retinoic acid (RA) are essential for

5. Cobalt Role of Cobalt • Cobalt is required by microorganisms in the rumen for the synthesis of vitamin B12. • Cobalt acts as an activating ion in certain enzyme reactions. Clinical signs • Cobalt deficiency causes vitamin B 12
