“…Similarly, other study also reported no significant difference between various dietary protein levels on serum biochemistry profile. The results are also in agreement with the results obtained was slightly higher values of total protein and serum calcium on turkey fed on alfalfa diet [13,14,15,16].…”

An experiment was conducted with the objective to investigate the effect of different levels of protein diets in the turkey rations. The experimental design used for the experiment was Complete Randomized Design (CRD) with 2x4 factorial combinations of treatments: Two levels of breed Broad Breasted White (BBW) and Broad Breasted Bronze (BBB) and four levels of diets (16%, 18%, 20% and 22%). Each treatment was replicated thrice using 24 pens consisting 120 birds. They were allowed adlib feed, water and uniform management throughout the entire experiment. The live weight, feed intake, dressing percentage, sharing of different organs were analyzed. At the end of the experiment the live weight (6.99 kg) was significantly high (p<0.01) with BBW at 16% protein in the concentrate. Highest average daily gain did not differ significantly. Similarly, cumulative feed consumption also did not differ significantly. Blood biochemical profile showed normal health condition of the turkeys with mean values of total protein, albumin, globulin and serum calcium were found to be 4.46 g/dl, 1.52 g/dl, 2.95 g/dl and 0.59g/dl respectively where non-significant interaction was observed. Looking towards the result of this experiment, it can be concluded that concentrate diet with 16% protein level has beneficiary effect on the performance of BBW turkey however further experiments are suggested to verify the results in wider scale and locations before recommending the technology on dietary requirement of turkey in our context.

“…On the third day of germination, chloroplast formation and photosynthesis start, but in this short time (seven days), the dry matter accumulation by photosynthesis cannot meet the loss [54]. Ali et al [55] studied the dry matter content of germinated wheat and maize. Loss of dry matter is inevitable, although there is no scientific literature on how to reduce the loss.…”

Application of hydroponic systems in feed production has not been extensively studied. Therefore, there is insufficient data on the effect of the slope of hydroponic growing trays used in the nutrient film technique on wheat fodder yield and its qualitative parameters. The slope of the trays has only been studied for food crops. This study conducted experimental research using a nutrient film technique hydroponic fodder growing device to evaluate the impact of growing tray slope angle on hydroponic wheat fodder production. The slope angle of the growing trays was changed from 2.0% (1.15°) to 8.0% (4.57°) with increments of 1.5% (0.86°). This research used two different light sources for wheat sprout illumination: indoor lighting (fluorescent lamps) and light-emitting diode illumination. In addition, two nutrient solutions were used for sprout irrigation: tap water and a solution enriched with macro- and microelements. Experimental studies confirmed the hypothesis that the slope angle of growing trays significantly affects the yield of wheat fodder grown for seven days. Analyzing the results, we found that the highest yield of wheat fodder after seven days of cultivation was achieved with growing trays sloped by 6.5% and using indoor lighting. In addition, we achieved the highest wheat fodder dry matter content using a 6.5% slope angle. Experimental studies also confirmed the hypothesis that using macro- and micronutrients in the nutrient solution does not significantly affect the yield of wheat fodder grown hydroponically for seven days.

“…Sprouting, a methodology which improves the nutrient content of grains, has been applied in various studies on many plants. The addition of hydroponic wheat sprouts at 150 g/kg of feed notably enhanced the overall growth parameters of turkeys ( Ali et al, 2019 ). In addition to growth performance, sprouted seeds have been shown to positively impact animal health.…”
