1. Expt 1. Six 200 kg Hereford heifers fitted with rumen and abomasal cannulas were fed ad lib. on alkali-treated oat straw sprayed with urea and minerals, with no supplement (O), or 700 g rolled barley (B) or cottonseed meal (C)/d, in a 3 x 3 Latin square with two replicates. 2. Intakes of the basal diet were not significantly affected by the supplements. Intakes of digestible organic matter (...

The effects of pre- (i.e., gestation and during lactation) and post-weaning diet on the composition of faecal bacterial communities and adipose expression of key genes in the glucose and insulin pathways were investigated in the cat. Queens were maintained on a moderate protein:fat:carbohydrate kibbled ("Diet A"; 35:20:28% DM; n  =  4) or high protein:fat:carbohydrate canned ("Diet B"; 45:37:2%...

Vitamin deficiencies are common in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Homocysteine (Hcys) is a thrombogenic amino acid produced from methionine (Met), and its increase in patients with IBD indicates a disruption of Met metabolism; however, the role of Hcys and Met metabolism in IBD is not well understood. We hypothesized that disrupted Met metabolism from a B-vitamin-deficient diet...

This study was conducted to determine the effects of different levels (0, 200, 400, 600 mg/kg) ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) root powder (ARP) on performance, egg quality and lipid peroxidation in laying hens (Lohmann LSL, 36 weeks old) diets. For this purpose, a total 4 groups were formed, one which control (ARP-0) other three experimental (ARP-1, ARP-2, ARP-3). A 96 distributed 4-storey ca...

In this article, we give the corrected version of Theorem 3.5 and 3.7 (a) in [$\alpha-$Topological vector spaces, Hacet. J. Math. Stat. 47 (5), 1102-1107, 2018] by T. Al-Hawary.

β-conglycinin is one of the major soy antigen proteins in soybean meal (SBM) and exhibits growth inhibition intestinal health damage grouper, but underlying mechanisms are still poorly understood. In this study, orange-spotted grouper ( Epinephelus coioides ) was used to investigate whether poor performance induced by dietary levels associated with structural integrity disruption, apoptosis mic...

1. Six wether sheep were each provided with a permanent cannula in the rumen and re-entrant cannulas in the proximal duodenum. 2. In a preliminary study, the sheep consumed 200 g hay and 400 g concentrates supplemented with up to 40 g linseed oil, coconut oil or cod-liver oil daily. Feed was refused at higher levels of supplementation. 3. Five of the sheep were used in a 5 x 5 Latin-square expe...

The effects of dietary supplementation with lysine-yielding Bacillus subtilis on gut morphology, cecal microflora, and expression of intestinal cytokine mRNA of Linwu ducks (a Chinese local domesticated duck) were investigated after a 63-d feeding trial. Two hundred forty 1-d-old female ducklings were randomly assigned to 1 of 4 dietary treatments, and there were 60 birds per treatment replicat...
