Effect of the Temperature-Humidity Index on the Productivity of Dairy Cows and the Correlation between the Temperature-Humidity Index and Rumen Temperature Using a Rumen Sensor.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of high-temperature stress on dairy cow productivity and the correlation between rumen sensors. The data were collected on the temperature, humidity, milk productivity, milk components, blood components, and rumen sensor data from 125 dairy cows during the experimental period (1 May 2020 to 30 October 2020). High-temperature stress of dairy cows was evaluated based on the temperature-humidity index (THI).

Responses in growth performance and nutrient digestibility to a multi-protease supplementation in amino acid-deficient broiler diets.

The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of a multi-protease on production indicators of broiler chickens fed a crude protein and amino acid deficient-diets for 35 days immediately after hatch. A total of 448 one-day-old Ross 308 male broiler chicks were allocated in a completely randomized design into one of eight dietary treatments (positive control [PC], negative control [NC: minus 0.5% from PC, and minus 2% of lysine, methionine, threonine and methionine plus cysteine], extreme negative control [ENC: minus 1% from PC, minus 4% of lysine, methionine, threonine and methionine plus cysteine], and plus multi-protease 150 or 300 g per ton [e.
