The neuronal mechanism by which distension of the colon triggers peristalsis and the propulsion of colonic contents is incompletely understood. In this study, we used video imaging and spatiotemporal mapping techniques to investigate the neuroneuronal mechanisms underlying peristalsis in isolated guinea pig distal colon. In direct contrast to previous studies, we found that hexamethonium (100 m...

A series of 4 experiments evaluated effects of mash conditioning temperature from a pellet mill or expander on performance of broilers fed pelleted diets containing spray-dried plasma (SDP). All experiments utilized Ross x Ross 308 male broilers randomly assigned to their respective treatments (6 or 10 broilers/pen and 8 or 10 pens/treatment). Treatments in Exp. 1 consisted of a control (0% SDP...

The composite agglomeration process is one of the most potential methods to effectively produce blast furnace burden with vanadium-titanium magnetite. In this work, effects V–Ti magnetite particle size, coke breeze ratio green pellets, pelletized feed, and feed basicity on quality CAP products were studied. results shown that drop strength compressive pellets are improved when pretreated by hig...

The partners in this Community Service Program (PkM) are a group of freshwater fish cultivators RW 04 Jatibening Baru Village, Bekasi City. Two main problems for are: 1. the high cost feed so that business profits not maximized and 2. management is yet optimal. purpose PkM activity to apply appropriate technology pellet machines as result faculty members’ research benefit partners. implementati...

AIM To explore the relationship between colonic secretory function and colonic motility. METHODS Using a rat model chronically implanted with intracerebroventricular (ICV) and cecal catheters, we validated the correlation between colonic secretion and colonic motor functions, as well as the role of ICV injection volume. RESULTS Compared to saline controls (5 μL/rat), ICV acyl ghrelin at 1 n...

Sago starch is a locally grown and produced starch resource in Malaysia. In this study, corn starch to sago starch ratios (CS:SS) of 0:20, 5:15, 10:10, 15:5 and 20:0 were included in feed mixture to contain 20% starch and produce five isonitrogenous and isocaloric (30% crude protein and 16.7 kJ/g, respectively) tilapia Oreochromis sp. diets. Diets were preconditioned to contain 40% moisture and...

An experiment was conducted to compare the effect of corn-soybean meal finisher (29-42d) diets containing flaxseeds (rolled or extruded) on pellet quality, performance, n-3 fatty acids (FA) and oxidative stability of meat in broiler chickens. Seven pelleted diets were provided in a 3×2 factorial arrangement with three flaxseed levels (5, 10, and 15%) and two processing methods (rolled or extrud...

Abstract Black soldier fly larva meal (BSFM) application as an innovative feed material has been developed in aquaculture nutrition. However, recent scientific literature is still lacking the case of insect effects on different stages salmonid fish, and vast majority research focused farmed Atlantic salmon. Therefore, holistic approach was undertaken cycle two studies carried out: fries pre-smo...

Behavioral-economic studies have shown that differences between lean and obese Zuckers in food consumption depend on the response requirement for food. Since a response requirement inherently increases the delay to reinforcement, differences in sensitivity to delay may also be a relevant mechanism of food consumption in the obese Zucker rat. Furthermore, the endocannabinoid neurotransmitter sys...
