The hypothesis of this experiment was that the various sources of dietary fat with different dietary ratios of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) to saturated fatty acids (SFAs) would alter the reproduction parameters of mature rams. Twelve mature rams were randomly allotted to one of four dietary treatments in a completely randomized design. Dietary treatments were: 1) ration with 4% soybean ...

Soybean (Glycine max L. Merril.) is an annual plant of Asian origin, adapted to temperate climates. This plant is a member of the family Fabaceae, subfamily Papilionoideae, tribe Phaseoleae, genus Glycine and subgenus Soja (Hymowitz, 2004). One of the most important agronomic characteristics of soybean is that it can take nitrogen from the air and fix it to be used as nutrient by the plant. The...

To study the acute effect of dietary docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, C22:6) on the expression of adipocyte determination and differentiation-dependent factor 1 (ADD1) mRNA in pig tissues, weaned, crossbred pigs (28 d of age) were fed with either 10% (on as-fed basis) tallow (high stearic acid), soybean oil (high linoleic acid), or high DHA algal oil for 2 d. The plasma and liver DHA reflected the co...

Different symptoms in Climacteric period, includes hot flash. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is common therapy for relief of menopausal symptoms but has possible contraindications and side effects. Recently Piascledine (combination of Avocado oil with Soybean oil) showed effects in reducing hot flash severity. Present study designed to compare the effects of HRT with Piascledine in treatment...

The present investigation was undertaken to study and compare the changes in proximate principals and T 1 content in differently processed mature Indian soy genotypes. Proximate principals as moisture, proteins, carbohydrates, fat, ash, fibre and TI content were assessed in two Indian soybean genotypes viz., NRC-37 and JS335 in mature and after applying simple processing technique (soaking, boi...

introduction high-producing dairy cows require large amounts of concentrates that are rich in energy and crude protein to meet their nutrient requirements. cereal grains and oil supplements are commonly used for increasing energy density of diets fed to high-producing dairy cows. dietary grain source (barley vs. corn) and oil supplement (soybean- vs. fish oil) resulted in varied dry matter inta...

The present work describes an experimental investigation concerning the determination of viscosity behavior with shear rate and temperature of edible oils: canola; sunflower; corn; soybean and the no edible oil: Jatropha curcas. Besides these, it was tested a blend of canola, corn and sunflower oils as well as sunflower and soybean biodiesel. Based on experiments, it was obtained shear stress a...

The effect of dietary lipids and Clostridium butyricum supplementation on circulating lipids and the transcription of selected genes involved in lipid metabolism were investigated in broiler chickens. One hundred and sixty-day-old broilers (Arbor Acres) were divided into four treatment groups in a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement and fed four diets with two lipid sources (soybean oil or fish oil) an...

The influence of frying with four different oils (sunflower oil, soybean oil, olive oil, and corn oil) on the fatty acid composition of silver carp was evaluated. The fat content of the fillets increased after frying while the moisture content decreased in all evaluated samples. Mean saturated (SFA), monounsaturated (MUFA), polyunsaturated (PUFA) fatty acids, ∑ω3, and ∑ω6 contents of raw fish w...

This experiment was conducted to determine the effects of inclusion level of soybean oil (SO) and palm oil (PO) on their digestible and metabolism energy (DE and ME) contents when fed to growing pigs by difference and regression method. Sixty-six crossbred growing barrows (Duroc×Landrace×Yorkshire and weighing 38.1±2.4 kg) were randomly allotted to a 2×5 factorial arrangement involving 2 lipid ...
