Replacement of dietary lilt by sucrose polyester reduces fat intake. However, little is known about the effccts of sucrose polyester on gastrointestinal function. To investigate the effect on gastric acid secretion and on release of cholecystokinin into plasma, we perfused eight healthy male volunteers intraduodenally with sucrose polyester, digestible fat, or saline on separate days in random ...

The objective of the present study was to investigate the postprandial metabolism of two starches with contrasting rates of hydrolysis in vitro. Characterized using the Englyst method of in vitro starch classification, C*Set 06 598 contained predominantly rapidly digestible starch and C*Gel 04 201 contained predominantly slowly digestible starch. Each test starch, naturally enriched with 13C, w...

Six experiments were conducted to determine the true digestible valine requirement of 5- to 20-kg pigs. In Exp. 1, a valine-deficient diet for 5- to 10-kg pigs was developed and validated in terms of growth performance in response to supplemental L-valine. A different basal diet was validated for 10- to 20-kg pigs in Exp. 2. Both diets were demonstrated to be deficient in valine and to support ...

The study was conducted to evaluate carcass yield and chemical composition of thigh and breast muscles of broilers fed three different lysine requirement levels: high lysine (+10% NRC), standard (NRC) and low lysine (-10% NRC) and two ways of expressing amino acids in feedstuffs (total or digestible amino acids). The results of this study showed that diet formulation based on digestible amino a...

The article presents the results of studying effect biological preparations created on basis such living microbial strains as Bacillus subtilis (Naturost), Lactobacillus buchneri (Naturost-Active) and megaterium (Naturost-M) productivity nutritional value clover timothy mixture. We conducted a microplot experiment at Vologda Research Center Russian Academy Sciences (Vologda Oblast) in 2019–2021...

Two experiments were conducted with red drum in recirculating, 110-l aquaria to examine the effects of increasing dietary energy levels, and altering dietary energy and protein levels in conjunction with feeding rates on weight gain, body composition and ammonia production. In the Ž . first experiment, juvenile red drum initially ;35 g were fed diets containing 45% crude protein and 15.1 to 18....

build, maintain the body's structure and supply energy for vital activities. Protein tends to be the most expensive. The safest, simplest and cheapest source is the non protein nitrogen urea. It has been reported that one hundred grammes of urea are equivalent to 200g of digestible protein provided the remainder of the ration supplies enough readily usable energy (McDonald et al., 1995). The ce...
