Three digestibility experiments on Arctic foxes were carried out. Control groups were fed standard diets (C1 and C2) composed of fresh or frozen animal by-products and steamed ground grain. Dry experimental diets (E1 and E2) contained animal meals, extracted meals and fat, were mixed with water prior to administration. In a preliminary experiment, the digestibility of dry diet E1 moistened with...

Three rumen and duodenum fistulated dairy cows were used to determine the effects of fat and methionine addition to soybean meal on rumen degradation of crude protein, the amino acid pattern and the intestinal digestibility of undegraded residues. The addition of 10% and 25% fat resulted in lower DM degradation after 8 and 24 h of incubation. Protein degradation was reduced by 10% fat addition ...

a crd experiment was conducted to study three different soybean meals on experimental qualitative properties, digestibility of protein and performance in broiler chickens for a 42 day period. a total of 195 day-old ross 308 male broiler chickens were randomly distributed to 3 dietary treatments with five replicates of 13 chicks each. to measure digestibility of protein, thirty 15-day-old ross 3...

in the first experiment, the nitrogen corrected apparent metabolizable energy (amen) and nutrients apparent digestibility of full fat soybean (ffsb) extruded at 145, 155 (common temperature) and 165 o c were evaluated. the corn-soy based diets were replaced with zero, 7.5, 15 and 22.5 % of each ffsb extruded at three temperatures during 15-21 d of age and amen and nutrients digestibility of eff...

Although stearic acid is a saturated fatty acid, its influence on plasma cholesterol acid other health variables is neutral; possibly owing in part to poor absorption. Reduced absorption of stearic acid from particular triacylglycerols, cocoa butter and novel fats formulated with short- and long-chain acid triacylglycerol molecules (Salatrims) has been attributed to high intakes. However, the c...

Diets for dairy cows that provide or induce formation of trans isomers of polyunsaturated fatty acids result in reduced percentages of milk fat. The effect of abomasal infusion of trans-C18:1 fatty acid isomers on energy utilization by mature cows was determined. Six multiparous Holstein cows in midlactation had ad libitum access to a basal diet containing 50% forage and 50% concentrate. Treatm...

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the influence of different Ca sources (limestone, Ca chloride, and Lipocal, a fat-encapsulated tricalcium phosphate, TCP) in conjunction with 4 dietary levels of non-phytate P (NPP) on performance, ileal digestibility of Ca and P, and bone mineralization in broiler chickens. Calcium sources were also evaluated in vitro to measure acid-binding capacity (AB...

Experiments were conducted to determine the effects of supplementing chopped ryegrass hay with 0, 5, 10, or 20% fat coated with ruminal bypass protein (Prolip on ruminal digestion by cows and nutrient digestibility by sheep. Ruminal disappearances of DM, ADF, and NDF were measured by the in sacco technique using a cannulated cow. Degradation of DM, ADF, and NDF was not affected by protected fat...

Abstract The concurrent extraction of lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates can be achieved by aqueous enzymatic processes, circumventing the low extractability mechanical pressing use flammable solvents. alkaline protease, preceded or not carbohydrase pretreatments, was evaluated on oil, protein, from full-fat chickpea flour protein functionality. Enzymatic increased oil 49.8 to 72.0–77.1% 62.8 ...
