The effects of dietary fat or fructose supplementation during late gestation and lactation on sow milk production and composition and on progeny were examined. On d 88 of gestation, 24 sows were allotted by parity to three dietary treatments (eight sows/treatment). Treatments were 1) a 12.5% crude protein, corn-soybean meal control, 2) the control + 10% added fat or 3) the control + 23% high fr...

A total of one thousand and eighty (1080) unsexed day-old quail chicks with an average initial weight 7.68±0.39g were used in a feeding trial to determine the growth response fed iso-nitrogenous rations various dietary energy levels Nigerian (tropical) environment. Six (26% CP) diets containing 2500, 2600, 2700, 2800, 2900 3000 Kcal/kg ME complete randomized design, respectively for study. The ...

All nitrogenous substances completely metabolized in the organism of mammals are removed by the urine in form of urea. Every other nitrogenous constituent of the urine is either a substance which has for one reason or another escaped its final transformation, or has not been metabolized by the organism at all. Under metabolism here, of course, is understood a set of chemical reactions which res...

Phenotypic reversion of six independent Saccharomyces cerevisiae cho1 mutants was shown to be due predominantly to mutation of an unlinked gene, eam1. The eam1 gene was located very close to ino1 on chromosome X by meiotic tetrad analysis. Recessive eam1 mutations did not correct the primary cho1 defect in phosphatidylserine synthesis but made endogenous ethanolamine available for sustained nit...

The performance of Ross broiler chickens fed on Sweet Potato Meal (SPM) as a dietary source energy was studied. study carried out at both starter (0-4 wks) and finisher (5- 9 phases. In phases, SPM incorporated graded levels 0. 10, 20, 30, 40 50 percent proteins were adjusted to make the diets iso-nitrogenous. phase, three replicates I5 birds each randomly allocated 6 treatments in completely r...

Background: Myocardial infarction (MI) is one of the most important causes of death worldwide. The effect of flunixin meglumine (FM) on MI is unknown. We investigated the protective effect of FM on the serum biochemical profile, malondialdehyde (MDA), and heart histology changes induced by isoproterenol (ISO) in adult male rats. Methods: Rats were randomly divided into four groups of six eac...

I . The methods for estimating lignin based on 72 7’ sulphuric acid are lengthy and usually require large corrections for the residual nitrogenous impurities. The steps used in the initial purification of lignin, and particularly those concerned with the removal of nitrogenous impurities using proteolytic enzymes, have been investigated, 2. The conditions that remove the maximum amount of nitro...

1. The removal of one half, two thirds and sometimes three quarters of the kidney substance in the dog causes no change in the general nitrogenous metabolism as determined by estimations of the total nitrogen, urea and ammonia elimination by the urine. 2. The removal of larger amounts, and sometimes of three quarters of the substance, leads to the metabolism condition of starvation. This, howev...

We measured minimal nitrogen requirements (MNR), total endogenous nitrogen loss (TENL) and the effect of protein and water intake on the nitrogenous waste composition in two frugivorous bird species: yellow-vented bulbuls Pycnonotus xanthopygos and Tristram's grackles Onychognathus tristrami. The nitrogen requirements of both species were much lower than expected for their body mass. The two sp...
