Little is known about pig gene expressions related to dietary fatty acids (FAs) and most work have been conducted in rodents. The aim of this study was to investigate how dietary fats regulate fat metabolism of pigs in different tissues. Fifty-six crossbred gilts (62 ± 5.2 kg BW) were fed one of seven dietary treatments (eight animals per treatment): a semi-synthetic diet containing a very low ...

Consumption of food that surpasses the metabolic necessity of the body leads to an epidemic condition termed obesity, which causes several metabolic disorders including oxidative damage. Dietary intervention can enlighten the mechanisms and therapeutics associated with these metabolic disorders. The reported studies related to diet include fat of different kinds and from different sources, howe...

ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to determine the response to increments of 2 sources of dietary fat on lactating sow and progeny performance during high ambient temperatures. Data were collected from 391 sows (PIC Camborough) from June to September in a 2,600-sow commercial unit in Oklahoma. Sows were randomly assigned to a 2 × 3 factorial arrangement of treatments and a control diet....

Measurement of dietary trends poses methodologic issues of great complexity and intellectural challenge. Confidence in the ability to draw inferences about trends increases when the results of various measurement methods point in the same direction, are of comparable magnitude and are consistent with one another as well as with external sources of related data. This paper illustrates these issu...

an experiment was conducted to determine the effect of different inclusion rates and degree of saturation of fat sources on true metabolizable energy corrected to zero nitrogen retention ( tmen) values in broiler chickens at 42 days of age. animal fat and cotton seed oil were blended in the proportions of: 0.25:0.75 , 0.50:0.50 , 0.75:0.25. the three blends together with the animal fat and cott...

The objective of this paper was to determine the opportunities of improving milk productivity and altering the milk composition through nutritional interventions. The increase in the nutraceutical value of milk is expected through dietary modifications of the animal. Feeding high concentrate diets combined with dietary fat can be used to modify the FA profile of milk, without negative effect on...

BACKGROUND Water consumption as a vital component of the human diet is under-researched in dietary surveys and nutrition studies. AIM To assess total water and fluid intakes and examine demographic, anthropometric, and dietary factors associated with water consumption in the Australian population. METHODS Dietary intake data from the 2011 to 2012 National Nutrition and Physical Activity Sur...

All vertebrates require certain amounts of energy, protein and ‘essential’ nutrients. Dietary sources of energy include carbohydrates, protein and fat. Dietary protein is necessary for satisfying an animal’s protein requirements. Certain dietary nutrients are classified as ‘essential’ because they are required for synthesis or functioning of crucial chemical compounds, yet they cannot be synthe...

Dietary patterns are comprehensive variables of dietary intake appropriate to model the complex exposure in nutritional research. The objectives of this study were to identify dietary patterns by applying two statistical methods, principal component analysis (PCA) and reduced rank regression (RRR), and to assess their ability to predict all-cause mortality. Motivated by previous studies we chos...
