Two experiments were conducted to determine the effects of rancidity and FFA in choice white grease (CWG) on growth performance and nutrient digestibility in nursery pigs. In Exp. 1,150 crossbred pigs (average initial BW of 6.8 kg and average initial age of 21 d) were used. Treatments (as-fed basis) were a corn-soybean meal-based control with no added fat, 6% CWG, and 6% CWG heated at 80 degree...

background: super oxidized water (sow), as a novel antiseptic solution, is used with claims of effectiveness and cost effectiveness in healing chronic wounds such as diabetic foot, infectious post-operative ulcers and burn ulcers. we conducted a health technology assessment to evaluate the clinical evidence from clinical and randomized trials for this disinfection. this study aims to evaluate t...

Rationale Ecologists increasingly determine the ?15N values of amino acids (AA) in animal tissue; “source” AA typically exhibit minor variation between diet and consumer, while “trophic” have increased consumers. Thus, trophic-source offsets (i.e., ?15NT-S) reflect trophic position a food web. However, even variations ?15Nsource may influence magnitude offset that represents step, known as disc...
