A major objective of the "Premium Grains for Livestock Program" is to develop rapid tests, suitable for the site of grain collection and/or use, to measure the nutritional value of grains so that they can be priced in accordance with their suitability as an animal feed. The feedlot industry, as a major user of grain, is well aware of the relationship between the quality of a feedlot ration and ...

Introduction What is the impact of food animal production in the world? What role does it play in human activity, who benefits from it, who pays costs associated with it and how should it proceed in the future? The majority of this account concerns the relationships between efforts to improve animal production efficiency and acceptability of aspects of the systems which have been developed. How...

A revalorization of discarded carrots as substrate for the production of second-generation ethanol is proposed. In order to increase the fermentable sugar concentration of the musts two strategies were studied: Strategy 1 consisted in the enzymatic hydrolysis of bagasse must and Strategy 2 by which carrots were milled, dropped into distilled water and hydrolyzed with different enzymes prior to ...

Feeding experiments comparing organically and conventionally produced food are performed to assess the overall impact on the animals' health as a model for the effects experienced by the human consumers. These experiments are based on systems research and characterized by their focus on production methods, whole food testing and procedures in accordance with the terms of organic farming. A shor...

( Continued from page 218. ) Chap. 24. Diabetes.?In this disease, more benefit was derived by the Bristol Physicians, from Dr. Watt's plan than from any other employed at the Infirmary. Case. Mary Phipps, aitat. 52, a small woman, and much emaciated at the time of admission, made daily from six to seven pints of nearly straw-coloured urine, strongly flavoured with saccharine matter. She was con...

Radiocaesium isotopes are among the long-lived radionuclides which were released in largest quantities into the environment as a consequence of the atmospheric nuclear weapon tests and accidents involving nuclear material (Chernobyl and Fukushima, etc.). Its transfer to plants, especially those for human or animal food, can be a major pathway for human intake and, therefore, have a significant ...

The control of mycotoxins is a global challenge not only in human consumption but also in nutrition of farm animals including aquatic species. Fusarium toxins, such as deoxynivalenol (DON) and zearalenone (ZEN), are common contaminants of animal feed but no study reported the occurrence of both mycotoxins in fish feed so far. Here, we report for the first time the occurrence of DON and ZEN in s...

This article overviews the enzymes produced by microorganisms, which have been extensively studied worldwide for their isolation, purification and characterization of their specific properties. Researchers have isolated specific microorganisms from extreme sources under extreme culture conditions, with the objective that such isolated microbes would possess the capability to bio-synthesize spec...
