Four lactating buffaloes in Kanagarian Pamatang Panjang, Sijunjung district, West Sumatera, Indonesia were studied. The experiment used a Latin square design with four treatments and four replications/block. The treatments were control （without supplementary foliage, A）, with cassava leaves （B）, with gliricidia leaves （C） and with katuk leaves （D） each at 5 kg/haead/day. The hematology variables measured were erythrocytes and leucocytes counts, as well as levels of hemoglobin and hematocrit. The results showed that supplementary foliage of 5 kg/head/day of cassava, gliricidia or katuk as leaves significantly increased the erythrocytes count and hemoglobin level, but did not affect the number of leucocytes in lactating buffalo.展开更多

Three hundred trout fingerlings with an average initial weight of 17.54-0.06 g were randomly distributed in 15 circular fiberglass tanks. The fish were exposed to 5 different feeding regimes; control： continuously fed twice daily to apparent satiation; T1： starved for 1 day and re-fed for 2 days; T2： starved for 1 day and re-fed for 4 days; T3： starved for 3 days and re-fed for 12 days; T4： starved for 4 days and re-fed for 16 days. At the end of the experiment, growth performance, feed utilization, whole body ash and moisture contents were not significantly （P〉0.05） different among the treatments. However, whole body protein content in T3 was significantly higher than other treatments （P〈0.05）. A significant difference in whole body fat content was observed between T3 and the control group at the end of the experiment （P〈0.05）. In conclusion this experiment suggests that feeding schedules involving starvation （1-4 days） and re-feeding cycles are a promising feed management tool for rainbow trout culture.展开更多
