Nitrogen-Protein Table

Salvage of urea-nitrogen and protein requirements.

The metabolism of N in the colon is dominated in quantitative terms by the metabolic activity of the microflora. The microflora are not found exclusively in the colon, as there are increasing numbers in the terminal ileum towards the ileocaecal valve; however, the working approximation is that functionally significant activity is colonic. There is a complex, and as yet inadequately defined, int...

Nutritional Importance of Non-protein Nitrogen

The class of compounds called non-protein nitrogen (NPN) is not a homogeneous group of similar chemicals but rather an operational term for the remainder of nitrogen in milk and formula once the protein fraction has been removed. NPN therefore consists of widely diverse types of compounds, ranging from urea to complex nitrogen-containing oligosaccharides. It is obvious that the capacity of an i...

Sugarcane Response to Water Table, Periodic Flood, and Foliar Nitrogen on Organic Soil

Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) is routinely exposed to periodic floods and highwater tables in Florida’s EvergladesAgriculturalArea. Learning sugarcane responses to these conditions will help improve yields. This study evaluated the effects of constant water-table depths, periodic floods, and N on cane and sucrose yields of two sugarcane cultivars. In 2001 and 2002, two foliar N and four water trea...
