Two genetic lines of barrows and gilt pigs with lean BW gain averages of 280 and 375 g/d were used to evaluate their macro- and micromineral contents at BW intervals from 20 to 125 kg of BW. The experiment was a 2 x 2 x 5 factorial arrangement of treatments (i.e., 2 sexes, 2 genetic lines, and 5 BW intervals) conducted in a completely randomized design in 6 replicates using a total of 120 pigs....

The effect of the removal of alpha-galactosides from Lupinus albus L. var. multolupa on the chemical composition of the prepared flour and the dialyzability of N, total P, Ca, Mg, Fe, Zn, and Mn was studied. The extraction process caused a significant increase in total and insoluble nitrogen contents and decreased the amount of soluble protein nitrogen. However, neither these changes nor treatm...

The substantial of mineral ingredients in honey may symbolize the existence of elements in the plants and soil of the vicinity wherein the honey was taken. The aim of this study was to detect the levels of 13 elements (Potassium (K), Sodium (Na), Calcium (Ca), Iron (Fe), Zinc (Zn), Cadmium (Cd), Copper (Cu), Manganese (Mn), Lead (Pb), Nickel (Ni), Chromium (Cr), Aluminum (Al), and Selenium (Se)...

Bergman, I., and Casswell, C. (1972). Brit. J. industr. Med., 29, 160-168. Lung dust and lung iron contents of coal workers in different coalfields in Great Britain. Lung dust analyses from seven coalfields are studied and it is found that the average dust composition varies significantly with the rank of coal. The higher the rank, the higher the coal percentage and the lower the quartz percent...

The age- and gender-related changes in extracellular matrix components (elastin, elastin cross-links, fibrillin, collagen and glycoprotein) and mineral components (calcium, Ca; phosphorus, P) in human lumbar yellow ligaments were investigated using samples obtained from surgical specimens. The mineral (Ca and P) contents increased with ageing (r = 0.703 and r = 0.772, respectively), whereas the...

1. Studies on mineral absorption were carried out in ileostomy patients using the metabolic balance technique. The effect of wheat bran on the absorption of phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, zinc and iron was studied. The extent of digestion of bran phytate in the stomach and small intestine was also investigated. 2. Eight patients with well established conventional ileostomies were studied durin...

Flotation is the single most important method of mineral processing and is widely used for the concentration of metal ores, industrial minerals, and coals. Several investigations were carried out during the last century, and the flotation literature was immense, particularly on selective collectors and their interaction mechanisms on sulfide, oxide, and silicate minerals. However, it is often d...
