Fifteen gravid, crossbred gilts were utilized in an experiment to measure the effect of five isonitrogenous dietary treatments (12% crude protein, sorghum-soybean meal; sorghum; sorghum + lysine; sorghum + threonine; sorghum + lysine + threonine) on N balance, colostrum composition and plasma constituents (protein, urea N and IgG). All gilts were fed a standard corn-soybean meal diet from breed...

OBJECTIVE The effects of heat treatment, supplementation of a mineral and vitamin premix, and 4% olive oil on the bioavailability of protein and calcium from Lens culinaris M., var vulgaris, cultivar. magda-20 were studied in growing rats. METHODS Nutrition assessment was based on chemical analysis of lentil protein, energy, total and available starch, lipid and calcium composition, and the d...

this study was carried out to determine the effects of gamma irradiation on dry matter (dm) and on crude protein (cp) degradation of rapeseed meal, using nylon bags and sds-page techniques. ruminal nylon bags of either untreated or irradiated rapeseed meal at doses of 25, 50 and 75 kgy were suspended in the rumen of four non-lactating holstein cows for up to 48 h. intestinal crude protein diges...

the purpose of this study was to determine the effect of two levels of four commercial multi-enzymes on the apparent metabolizable energy corrected for nitrogen (amen) and digestibility of crude fat, crude protein, dry matter, and organic matter in broiler chickens through total excreta collection method. one hundred thirty male broiler chicks were assigned to 45 metabolic cages involving 9 tre...

brachystegia eurycoma is predominantly grown in the eastern region of nigeria. its seed is used in food majorly as a soup condiment, flavouring agent and soup thickener. the proximate, mineral and amino acid compositions were determined on raw and processed seeds (boiled, fermented and roasted) using standard analytical techniques. the processing methods showed deviations in nutrients from the ...

this study aimed to assess the anticariogenic and hemolytic activity of crude plant seed protein extracts against tooth decaying bacteria.the proteins from seeds of 12 different plants were extracted and used for antimicrobial assay against six different organisms. the extraction was carried out in 10mm of sodium phosphate buffer (ph 7.0). protein concentrations were determined as described by ...

the base of this review is to consider the relevant role that animal factors (potential milk yield, body weight, body condition score, state of lactation, parity and fertility) play on milk performance (considering the energy balance and the rumen function across the full lactation curve of animals) and milk quality (milk protein content, milk fat content, milk lactose content, vitamins, minera...

A 60-days feeding trail was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary digestible energy levels (DE) on kutum, Rutilus frisii kutum. Four is nitrogenous (35% protein) diets with digestible energy levels of 2500, 2600, 2700 and 2800kcal kg-1 was tested. Two hundred and forty advanced fry (2±0.4g) were randomly distributed in 12 fiberglass tanks of 400L capacity. Nutritional responses in...
