This study was carried out to study the characteristics of Caprine anaphylaxis with emphasis on clinical features observed during pre and post Sensitization. Six goats of mixed breed were sensitized to the repeated injections of horse serum. During sensitization common clinical signs observed after second and third antigenic injections were frequent urination, defecation, cough, nasal secretion, irregular respiration and heart beat, dullness and depression confirms the success of sensitization. After a latent period of three weeks, all animals were challenged to horse plasma intravenously. Post challenge clinical signs included respiratory distress characterized by a multifold increase in frequency and thoracolumbar irregular and jerky respiration, nasal secretion, severe coughs, shivering, paddling and kicking. Auscultation revealed moist rales over the lung area. Animals were dull, depressed and unwilling to move. The clinical signs observed during anaphylaxis indicate that the lung may be the major shock organ of anaphylaxis in goats. The results of this study will help in the establishment of appropriate and specific therapy for Type-I hypersensitivity reactions (Anaphylactic- shock) in goat specie. |

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of Methioine, Lysine and Cystine (amino-cystine acids) supplementation on the feed consumption, Egg Production, Fertility, Hatchability, mortality and weight of day old chicks of Laying Japanese Quails at Poultry Experimental Station, Sindh Agriculture University, Tandojam. For this purpose 100 hundred laying quails having 14 week of age were purchased and reared. The quails were divided in four equal groups A, B, C and D and were fed on commercial rations. Three Amino acids (Methionine, Lysine and Cystine) as a supplement was mixed in feed. 0.3, 0.9 and 0.5 gm/kg feed in group A, 0.5, 1.2, 0.7 gm/kg feed in group B and 0.9, 1.6 and 1.1gm/kg feed in the groups C respectively. Results revealed highly significant difference among the groups. Greater egg production (96.45%), fertility (76%) and Hatchability (66%) was observed in groups B, while least in-group D lowest feed consumption was observed in group B. While least in-group D. lowest feed consumption was observed in gorup B. No any mortiality was recorded in any group. It was concluded that laying quails can be reared on ratio containing 0.5, 1.2 and 0.7gm/kg feed level of Methionine, Lysine and Cystine in quails ration for better production performance.

200 Hubbard broilers were examined to determine the effect of differnet dietary protein levels on the production perofrmance of broilers, at Poultry Experimental Station, Sindh Agriculture University, TandoJam during August-September, 2002. The birds were designated groups A, B, C and D, (fifty chicks each) given 17, 20, 23 and 26 percent protein, respectively. The results revealed that broiler growth and carcass parameters were affected significantly by increasing level of dietary protein. Weight gain in groups A, B, C and D was 1402.40, 1639.63, 1844.90 and 1866.54g against the feed consumption of 3200.00, 3612.28, 3924.78 and 3742.50 g/bird, respectively. Feed Conversion efficiency 2.281, 2.203, 2.127 and 2.005, Carcass percentage 53.88, 59.22, 62.56 and 62.26 percent, Liver weight 39.40, 39.80, 39.60 and 41.20 g, Spleen weight 4.60, 5.00, 6.60 and 6.80g, Heart weight 9.40, 10.40, 11.80 and 12.00g, Gizzard weight 25.90, 30.00, 35.00 and 34.00g, water intake 7469.40, 7771.72, 8263.66 and 8429.50ml. Greater carcass percentage was obtained from ration contained 23% or 26% dietary protein (62.56 and 62.26%). The sale price of the broilers in groups A, B, C and D was Rs. 57.76, 67.24, 75.24 and 76.32 against the production cost of Rs. 54.16, 59.77, 67.24 and 69.59 per bird, respectively. The net profit obtained from groups A, B,C and D were Rs. 3.60, 7.47, 8.24 and 6.73, respectively. Thsi shows that group A (17% CP) or group D (26% CP) were less economical against 23% and 20% CP levels where fairly higher net profit was earned. |

Six weeks study was conducted to evaluate efficiency of sunflower meal (SM) in self
prepared feed on the growth performance of the broilers. Group A was reared as control
(0% SM), while B, C, D and E (50 chicks in each group) fed with rations containing 5, 7,
9 and 11% SM. Groups A, B, C, D and E had mean weight gain of 1629.49, 1723.66,
1831.50, 1882.32 and 1876.18 g, feed consumption 3756.80, 3766.80, 3774.14,
3771.90 and 3774.90 g, feed efficiency 2.31, 2.18, 2.06, 2.00 and 2.01, dressing
percentage 56.38, 57.92, 60.32, 62.64 and 62.29. Weight of edible parts remained
somewhat unaffected. Group D (9% SM) proved economical with greater weight grain
(1882.32 g), feed consumption (3771.90 g), feed efficiency (2.00), dressing percentage
62.64. |
