Blood Constituents of Yeast Fed Chicks

Estrogen-induced regression of coronary atherosclerosis in cholesterol-fed chicks.

The present study demonstrates that estrogens reverse previously induced coronary atherosclerosis in cholesterol-fed cockerels, despite the continued presence of the atherogenic stimulus in the diet. Aorta atherogenesis remains unaffected. Hypercholesterolemia is moderately enhanced by estrogen administration; total cholesterol-lipid phosphorus (C/P) ratios are depressed to normal levels, conse...

Effects of dietary excesses of vitamins A and D on some constituents of the blood of chicks.

I. Groups of chicks were given diets containing four levels of vitamins A and D, I , 10, 100 and 1000 times the basal level, in all sixteen combinations, with the object of investigating a possible antagonism between the two vitamins. 2. Only diets containing 1000 times the basal level (approx. 1700 times the dietary requirements) of one or both vitamins depressed growth and induced changes in ...

Effect of Different Levels of Live Yeast in a High Concentrate Diet on Performance, Blood Constituents and Immune System Status of Zandi Lambs

A feeding trial with twenty-seven male weaned Zandi lambs (initial body weight 27.1±0.38 kg) was conducted to evaluate the effect of different levels of Saccharomyces cerevisiae SC47 in diet containing high concentrate (85%) on the growth performance, blood parameters and immune system status. Lambs were allocated to one of three treatment diets in a completely randomized design with 3 replicat...

Effect of yeast culture supplementation of alfalfa silage or alfalfa hay fed to lactating dairy cows

Growth and feed utilization of goldfish (Carassius auratus) fed graded levels of brewers yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae)

In this study, a feeding trial was conducted to examine the potential of replacing fish meal with brewers yeast in practical diet of goldfish (Carassius auratus). Five isoproteic (37% CP) and isocaloric (3350 kcal/kg) diets were formulated to contain graded levels of brewers yeast. Fish meal protein was replaced by 0%, 15%, 25%, 35%, and 45% of yeast. Each diet was randomly allocated to triplic...
