resulted in improved ileal true digestibility (TD) of protein. Petroleum spirit-extracted dehulled soybean (TI 58.4 mg/g DM) was adjusted to 780 g/kg DM and heated alone or with either sodium metabisulphite (11.8 g/kg DM) or cysteine (15 g/kg DM) for 25, 35, 55 or 75 minutes at 95C. Reactive SH, determined by reaction with 4-vinyl pyridine and HPLC separation, was increased by C and S and decre...

Cessation of long-term alcohol exposure is reported to enhance rat hepatocarcinogenesis. The purpose of the present study was to assess this possibility using glutathione-S transferase placental form (GST-P) positive foci as end point lesions. All rats were treated with a single i.p. injection of diethylnitrosamine (DEN) (200 mg/kg body weight) and then given a MF pellet diet for 2 weeks. There...

Although obesity is a risk factor for hypertension, the relationship between these 2 conditions is not well understood. Therefore, we examined some parameters of hypertension and cardiovascular disease in a dietary model of obesity. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were provided either a control diet (C) or a diet containing 32% kcal as fat (similar to a Western diet) for 1, 3, or 10 weeks. Rats in the...

The efficacy of three Escherichia coli-derived phytase preparations on the performance and nutrient utilization of broiler chicks was evaluated. Two hundred sixteen 7-d-old male broiler chicks were grouped by weight into 6 blocks of 6 cages with 6 birds per cage. Six corn-soybean meal-based diets were randomly assigned to cages within each block. The 6 diets were adequate P, very low P, and low...

Day-old male broiler chicks were randomly assigned to 32 floor pens in a completely randomized block design and grown to 6 wk of age. Birds in experiment 1 were fed 1 of 2 basal diets supplemented with or without a protease containing feed additive, Versazyme (VZ). The 4 treatments were 1) control (C), a corn-soybean meal diet that contained 95% of amino acids recommended by NRC except for thre...

The phospholipid composition of Steinernema carpocapsae was studied in relation to diet and culture temperature. When reared at 18 and 27.5 C on Galleria mellonella or on an artificial diet supplemented with lard, linseed oil, or fish oil as lipid sources, nematode phospholipids contained an abundance of 20-carbon polyunsaturated fatty acids, with eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5(n - 3)) predominant...

Multiple experiments were conducted with a mammalian herbivore to determine how experience with plant secondary metabolites (terpenes and tannins) influenced acquisition of new aversions to diets containing these same plant metabolites. Goats (Capra aegagrus hircus) were employed as behavioral models for this study. Twenty-four subjects were assigned to three treatment groups that received 20 d...
