Studies on pig diets containing different amounts of linoleic acid

Studies on pig diets containing different amounts of linoleic acid.

Since the deficiency syndrome caused by lack of essential fatty acids (EFA) was first described by Burr & Burr (1929) many species besides rats have been shown to require EFA, but evidence about the pig is rather sparse and conflicting. Ellis & Isbell (1926) and Ellis & Zeller (1930) reared pigs on diets containing only 0 . 5 7 ~ 'ether extract', but observed none of the classical signs of EFA ...

Effect of diets containing different levels of linoleic acid on human breast cancer growth and lung metastasis in nude mice.

The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of three different levels of dietary linoleic acid (LA) intake on the growth of MDA-MB-435 human breast cancer cells in the mammary fat pads of nude mice, and their metastasis to the lungs. These diets were isocaloric, and contained different mixtures of safflower (LA-rich) and coconut (saturated fatty acid-rich) oils to provide 23% (w/w) tot...

Milk production during the complete lactation of dairy cows fed diets containing different amounts of protein.

Milk production response to four different amounts of protein supplementation was measured in a complete lactation study utilizing 58 multiparous Holstein cows treated with bovine somatotropin. The four treatments were as follows (the first number is the dietary crude protein content (% of dry matter) during the first 16 wk of lactation and the second number is the protein content for wk 17 to ...

P Ratio Dental Caries in Albino Rats Fed Diets Containing Different Amounts of Calcium

Urinary excretion of aromatic acids by sheep given diets containing different amounts of protein and roughage.

I . The urinary excretions of total diethyl ether-soluble acids and total aromatic acids of three sheep given maintenance diets containing different proportions of hay, rolled oats and decorticated groundnut meal were determined. 2. When the sheep were given the diet containing 70 % rolled oats the excretion of aromatic acids in the urine was less than that observed when the sheep were given di...
