    Objectives The effects of different levels of Saccharomyces cerevisiae culture on the production performance of laying hens were studied to provide reference for the utilization of diets with low soybean meal and low protein in livestock and poultry production. Methods 1 080 laying hens aged 36 weeks with similar body weight were randomly divided into 5 groups, with 6 replicates in each group and 36 chickens in each replicate. They were fed with basic diets supplemented with 0%, 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, and 10% Saccharomyces cerevisiae, respectively. The basic diet was corn-soybean meal, and the diets of each group were isocaloric and isonitrogenic. The experiments lasted 35 days. Results The weight of egg decreased linearly, while the ratio of feed to egg, and a* value and b* value of eggshell color increased linearly with the increase of the level of adding Saccharomyces cerevisiae culture to the diet of laying hens. There was a quadratic change in the height of concentrated protein and the Ha unit of eggs, while the activities of alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase in serum decreased linearly. The addition of 2.5% Saccharomyces cerevisiae culture to the diet of laying hens significantly increased the height of concentrated protein and Hasse units of eggs, while reduced the yolk color of eggs (P<0.05) compared with the control group. Diets supplemented with 7.5% and 10% Saccharomyces cerevisiae culture significantly reduced the egg quality(P<0.05). Adding 10% Saccharomyces cerevisiae culture to the diet significantly reduced the activity of aspartate aminotransferase in serum of laying hens (P<0.05). Conclusions It is indicated that adding 2.5% Saccharomyces cerevisiae culture to the diet of laying hens is the optimal dosage under the conditions of this experiment.

    Objectives The effects of adding a combination of acidifier and plant essential oil on the growth performance of piglets were studied to provide reference for its application of antibiotic alternatives in the healthy farming of piglets. Methods A total of 420 French binary weaned piglets were randomly divided into 3 groups based on body weight, with 4 replicates in each group and 35 piglets in each replicate. The piglets were fed with basal diet (control group), basal diet+3 kg/t acidifier+0.4 kg/t plant essential oil (alternative for antibiotic group), basal diet+0.5 kg/t neomycin sulfate (antibiotic group). The experimental period was 42 d and the refueling was weighed at the end of 14 d and 42 d. Results The ADFI and ADG of the piglets in the two experimental stages(breeding and nursery piglets) of the alternative for antibiotic group increased by 4.2% and 4.9%, 8.5% and 7.4%, respectively,and the FCR decreased by 4.1% and 2.0% compared with that of the control group. The fecal shape and coat color of piglets were significantly improved (P<0.05), and the effect was better than that of the antibiotic group. Conclusions It is indicated that adding a combination of acidifiers and plant essential oils to piglet diets can significantly improve the growth performance of piglets, reduce piglet diarrhea and improve the coat color of piglets.

    Objectives The effects of different levels of nutrition in feed on the performance of fattening and economic benefits of hybrid beef cattle were studied to optimize the nutrition formula and fattening plan for hybrid beef cattle. Methods 90 Simmental crossbred bulls with similar body weight, physical condition, and health were randomly divided into the experimental group Ⅰfed with high level of protein in diet, the group Ⅱ fed with medium level of protein in diet and the group Ⅲ fed with low high level of protein in diet. The feeding experiment lasted 300 days. The body weight, the cost of feed, and the economic benefits of beef cattle were measured and analyzed. Results The total weight gain in the group I, group Ⅱ and group Ⅲ reached 277.7-337.1 kg, with an average daily gain of 925.7-1 123.6 g. The difference in total weight gain and average daily weight gain during the period of fattening between the experimental group I and the experimental group Ⅱ was not significant (P>0.05), but both were significantly higher than that in the experimental group Ⅲ (P<0.05). The cost of feed in the experimental group Ⅲ during the period of fattening was the highest, reaching 6 558 yuan/head, followed by that in the experimental group Ⅱ and the experimental group I, at 5 796 yuan/head and 5 298 yuan/head, respectively. The net profit in the experimental group Ⅱ was 1 242 yuan/head, which was the highest among the three experimental groups, higher than that in the experimental group I and the experimental group Ⅲ at 543 yuan/head and 519 yuan/head, respectively. Conclusions It can be determined that the level of nutrition in the experimental group Ⅱ is most suitable for fattening hybrid beef cattle based on comprehensively analyzing the weight gain and economic benefits in each experimental group during the period of fattening.

    Objectives To reveal the growth and development patterns of Jianzhou big-eared goat and guide scientific breeding management. Methods The production performance records of the fourth generation core group of Jianzhou big-eared goat from 2010 to 2020 in the original breeding farm were sorted and analyzed to examine the correlation between body weight and body size growth from birth to adulthood. Results The body weight and body measurements of male and female sheep aged 0–8 months showed a linear upward trend, with very rapid growth and development speed, which slowed down after 8 months of age. The relative growth change curves during different growth periods indicate that early growth intensity of male lambs is smaller than that of female lambs, but surpasses the females after reaching 4 months of age. The daily weight gains before weaning at 0–2 months reached 200.83 g and 199.67 g for male and female lambs, respectively. The average daily weight gain from 4–6 months was 158.00 g for males and 100.00 g for females. Over the entire growth period from 0–30 months, daily weight gains showed males consistently surpassed females. During the entire 0–30 months period, there were significant differences in body weight and highly significant differences in body measurements between males and females, with both the body weight and body measurements of males being markedly higher than those of females. Conclusions Jianzhou big-eared goat show extremely rapid growth and development from 0 to 8 months, characterized by fast early growth rates. Across the entire 0–30 months growth period, daily weight gain, body weight, and body measurements of males were consistently higher than those of females.
