Whey protein is preferred in sports nutrition because of its rich essential amino acids and digestibility rate compared to other sources. The purpose this study was determine the acid content vitro whey supplements evaluate their quality using digestibility-corrected score (PDCAAS) method. amount were determined high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) by simulated gastrointestinal tract. ...

In 1989 the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Consultation on Protein Quality Evaluation recommended the use of the Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS) method for evaluating protein quality. In calculating PDCAAS, the limiting amino acid score (i.e., ratio of first limiting amino acid in a gram of target food to that in a reference protein or requirement) is multiplied by protein diges...

Quality of soybeans and soybean meals (SBM) from non-US and US origins were compared. The US SBM was more consistent with higher digestibility (by KOH solubility), lower fiber and better quality of protein (by essential amino acid levels) than SBM of other major export origins (Argentina, Brazil and India). Protein quality carried through from whole soybeans to SBM, for a given origin. While th...

A total of 600 Ross 308-day-old male broiler chicks were used in a 28 day digestibility study to investigate the interaction between dietary calcium (Ca) and non-phytate phosphorus (nPP) on the digestibility of minerals and amino acids. Diets were formulated to be nutritionally adequate except for Ca and nPP. Fifteen mash diets based on corn and soya bean meal with varying concentrations of Ca ...

Two experiments with growing pigs were conducted to investigate the effects of two distinct multienzyme preparations on nutrient digestibility, growth performance and blood profiles. In Exp. 1, a total of 96 pigs (29.7±0.69 kg) were utilized in a 42-day performance and digestibility trial using four dietary treatments: CON (control diet), ENDO (control+0.10% Endopower), NSPase1 (control+0.10% N...

Metabolizable protein (MP) supply and amino acid balance in the intestine were manipulated through selection of highly digestible rumen-undegradable protein (RUP) sources and protected methionine (Met) supplementation. Four ruminallycannulated, multiparous Holstein cows averaging 193±13 days in milk were used in a 4×4 Latin square design to assess N utilization and milk production responses to ...

This paper discusses aspect of digestion estimate in amino acids and nitrogen of feed for pigs. It has been highlighted that low utilization of protein does not only being a high cost to the pig industry, but also results in an environmental hazard. In formulation of diets for pigs, it is necessary to pay attention to the profile and character of feed protein. It is well understood that before ...
