The study was conducted to investigate the effect of adding multienzyme preparation (Rovabio Excel AP, Adisseo Asia Pacific Pte Ltd., Singapore) at 2 inclusion levels of sunflower meal (SFM; 20 and 30% of the diets) with 3 levels of digestible Lys (0.8, 0.9, and 1.0%) with and without enzyme in a 2 x 2 x 3 factorial arrangement. Each diet was offered to 4 replicates of 51 one-day-old straight-r...

In the current dietary recommendations for the treatment and prevention of Type 2 diabetes and its related complications, there is flexibility in the proportion of energy derived from monounsaturated fat and carbohydrate as a replacement for saturated fat. Over the last few years, several population studies have shown that subjects eating a lot of refined grains and processed foods have a much ...

an experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of thyroid gland activity modulation (hyper or hypothyroidism) on energy utilization in broiler chickens. two hundred and forty one-day-old cobb broiler chicks were distributed into three dietary metabolizable energy (me) treatment groups (80 chicks each). the control group (e0) was fed basal diet (3150 kcal/kg diet), the second group (e1) w...

OBJECTIVE To determine the effects of high dietary protein and energy intake on the growth and body composition of very low birth weight (VLBW) infants. STUDY DESIGN Thirty-eight VLBW infants whose weights were appropriate for their gestational ages were assessed for when they could tolerate oral intake for all their nutritional needs. Thirty-two infants were included in a longitudinal, rando...

OBJECTIVE To examine the effect of fast-food and full-service restaurant consumption on total energy intake, dietary indicators, and beverage consumption. DESIGN Individual-level fixed-effects estimation based on 2 nonconsecutive 24-hour dietary recalls. SETTING Nationally representative data from the 2003-2004, 2005-2006, and 2007-2008 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. PA...

—We stocked phase-III sunshine bass (white bass Morone chrysops /3 striped bass M. saxatilis ?) at a rate of 6,188 fingerlings/ha into twelve 0.04-ha earthen ponds supplied with continuous aeration. Three dietary treatments were randomly assigned to quadruplicate ponds. Sunshine bass were fed to apparent satiation once daily after average initial weight (mean 6 SE 1⁄4 214 6 5 g) and total lengt...

Faster weight gain early in infancy may contribute to a greater risk of later obesity in formula-fed compared to breast-fed infants. One potential explanation for the difference in weight gain is higher macronutrient intake in formula-fed infants during the first weeks of life. A systematic review was conducted using Medline to assess the macronutrient and energy content plus volume of intake i...

From large basis set coupled cluster calculations and a minor empirical adjustment, an anharmonic force field for silane has been derived that is consistently of spectroscopic quality (±1 cm−1 on vibrational fundamentals) for all isotopomers of silane studied. Inner-shell polarization functions have an appreciable effect on computed properties and even on anharmonic corrections. From large basi...
