The relationship among dietary undetermined anion, acid-base balance, and nutrient metabolism in swine.

Characterization of acid-base disturbances and effects on calcium and phosphorus balances of dietary fixed ions in pregnant or lactating does.

Effects of fixed cation-anion balance on acid-base status and calcium and phosphorus balances were examined. Pregnant and lactating goats were fed a diet of alfalfa hay, concentrate and minerals to vary the cation-anion balance [meq sodium (Na) + meq potassium (K)-meq chloride (Cl)]/100 g diet dry matter (DM) over the range found in ruminant feeds. Small but significant effects on ruminal pH, f...

Enfluence of increasing dietary cation-anion balance on the performance of lactating dairy cattle

Interrelationships between exogenous porcine somatotropin (PST) administration and dietary protein and energy intake on protein deposition capacity and energy metabolism of pigs.

Exogenous porcine somatotropin (PST) administration stimulates protein deposition and inhibits lipogenesis, resulting in dose-related improvements in growth performance and reduction of carcass fat content. However, the associated impacts of this technology on dietary nutrient requirements and energy partitioning between maintenance, protein, and fat remain unclear. Studies with pigs between 25...

Ramadan major nutrient patterns are associated with anthropometric measurements and physical activity in Tehran, Iran

During Ramadan fasting quantity and quality of dietary intake may change. There was no data on nutrient patterns in Ramadan fasting. The purpose of this study was to identify Ramadan major nutrient patterns among those who fast in Tehran, Iran. 510 fasting people aged 18-65 years and BMI 18.5-40 Kg/m2 were recruited in our study by 2-stage cluster sampling method in June-July 2014. Data on the ...

Optimum Dietary Electrolyte Balance as Influenced by Phosphorus Level for Growing Broilers

Two main experiments and an auxiliary experiment were carried out to determine the effects of dietary available phosphorus and electrolyte balance on the growth performance and acid-base balance of broiler chickens. The results showed that mineral balance can affect the growth performance of broiler chickens fed practical-type diets in essentially commercial situations, and indicate that total ...
