an experiment was conducted to evaluate the extracted (es) and mechanical (ms) soybean meals two levels 25% and 35% in broiler chicken feeding. three hundred and fifty two one-day-old unsexed lohman chickens were placed in four treatments by 4 replicates and 22 chickens in each in a 2×2 factorial arrangement. feed intake was increased significantly in starter period by es in comparison with ms....

In a 12-month survey on the causes and frequency of hypoglycaemia presenting to an inner-city accident and emergency department, a total of 86 cases were recorded. A missed meal and/or alcohol ingestion accounted for most of the precipitating causes, being 52% and 21% respectively. As 49% of subjects presented with major clinical manifestations of hypoglycaemia (fit or coma), greater emphasis i...

AIM To describe complementary feeding practices in the Multicentre Growth Reference Study (MGRS) sample. METHODS Food frequency questionnaires and 24-h dietary recalls were administered to describe child feeding throughout the first 2 y of life. This information was used to determine complementary feeding initiation, meal frequency and use of fortified foods. Descriptions of foods consumed an...

The eating behaviour of human female volunteers is expressed as bursts of intake and intervening periods of rests and the cumulative intake curve can be modeled by a quadratic equation. The curve is negatively accelerated in some women and linear in others. Hence, women can be divided into decelerated and linear eaters. Here, we have studied the eating behaviour of decelerated and linear female...

Motility patterns play a major role in human colonic functions; however, its physiological significance is poorly understood. Several studies have been introducing the Alternating Current Biosusceptometry (ACB) as a valuable tool in gastroenterology and pharmaceutical research. Using gold standard techniques, great effort has been made to validate ACB as a method for measuring gastrointestinal ...

Objective: The protein quality of earthworm meal was evaluated and compared to that of soybean meal (SBM) in two experiments using broiler chicks.  Methods: The protein quality of earthworm meal was evaluated and compared to that of soybean meal (SBM) in two experiments using broiler chicks. Results: The results of experiment 1 indicated that there were no significant differences between earthw...
