A 5 X 5 Latin square design was used to study the effects on nitrogen balance, wool growth and plasma amino acids of infusing methionine and (or) glucose into the abomasum of growing wethers fed formaldehyde-treated Coastal bermudagrass (F-CBG) or untreated Coastal bermudagrass hay. Daily treatments were: (1) CBG; (2) F-CBG + 3 g methionine (met); (4) F-CBG + 96 g glucose and (5) F-CBG + 3 met ...

lysozyme is one of the bioactive components of eggs with well known antibacterial potential, widely used in food industry, medicine and pharmaceutics. in this study, the possibility of quail’s egg lysozyme concentration and activity (modified via amino acids dietary supplementation) was investigated. in accordance with lysozyme amino acids profile, four amino acids of: asparagine, arginine, gly...

in the first experiment, twelve species of the most plentiful and fresh seaweeds and one species of seagrass from the beach were collected at kingston, south australia. all species were then separately sun-and oven-dried and ground. the ground samples were analysed for dry matter, ash, organic matter, crude protein, crude fibers, ether extract and digestibility in vitro. the digestible and ...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the levels sulfur amino acids in diets laying hens 34-50 weeks age. 336 Dekalb White birds were distributed a completely randomized design with six treatments, 14 replicates four each. consisted control treatment, formulated meet nutritional requirements according NRC (1994) and five varying methionine plus cystine level (0.536, 0.603, 0.670, 0.737, 0...

At each station, fortified corn-soybean meal diets containing 0, 15, 30 or 45% DDGS were fed to growingfinishing pigs in three phases. A common source of DDGS analyzing 26.3% crude protein, 0.96% lysine, and 9.7% fat was used at each station. Diets were formulated to contain 0.83, 0.70, and 0.58% true ileal digestible lysine during the three phases with diets changed at 133 and 200 lb, respecti...

Plant-based protein foods are increasingly common, but data on their nutritional quality scarce. This study evaluated it for seitan (wheat-based food), tofu (soya-based soya milk, and a pea emulsion. The true ileal digestibility (TID) of amino acids was determined in minipigs, to calculate the digestible indispensable acid score (DIAAS). TID proteins high not significantly different between tes...

Widyaratne, G. P. and Zijlstra, R. T. 2007. Nutritional value of wheat and corn distiller’s dried grain with solubles: Digestibility and digestible contents of energy, amino acids and phosphorus, nutrient excretion and growth performance of grower-finisher pigs. Can. J. Anim. Sci. 87: 103–114. Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the nutritional value of distiller’s dried grains with solu...

A total of 182 lactating sows were used in a study to determine the threonine requirement, and the relative difference in resulting performance of lactation diets with high concentrations of crystalline amino acids, compared with a conventional corn-soybean meal diet. All experimental diets were based on corn-soybean meal and formulated to contain 0.88% true ileal digestible (TID) lysine (1.00 ...
