Measurement of urinary energy (UE) excretion is essential to determine metabolizable (ME) supply. Our objectives were evaluate the accuracy using N (UN) or C (UC) estimate UE and ultimately improve estimating ME. Individual animal data (n = 433) used from 11 studies with Jersey cows at University Nebraska–Lincoln, where samples analyzed after drying 299) on an as-is basis 134). Dried resulted i...

density-functional-based and ab initio calculations were implemented at different computational levels to estimate the binding energy of zn2+ ion adsorbed on the available sites of a silicate mel-type adsorbent. b3lyp and mp2 were used in combination with the 6-31g*, 6-31+g*, lanl2dz, 6-311+g*, and def2-tzvp basis sets. the zinc cation was found to preferentially occupy the 6mr sites followed b...

Three experiments were conducted to determine the digestible lysine requirement of female turkey poults during the starter period. Birds were fed a standard corn-soybean meal diet until the onset of each trial and were then randomly assigned to treatments that were fed for 2 wk. Dietary treatments included titrated levels of digestible lysine (1.18 to 1.72%) added to a basal corn-soybean meal d...

An experiment was performed to investigate the effect of animal vs. vegetable protein sources in the diet of laying hens on the development of hen performance. A diet containing protein sources of only vegetable origin was compared with 4 diets, each containing 1 of 4 processed animal proteins (PAP). Two PAP (Daka-58 and Sonac-60) were classified as meat meals, and the remaining 2 (Daka-40 and ...

This study investigated the amount of energy available to growing pigs from fermentation of dietary fiber in the hindgut. Eighteen growing barrows, fitted with a simple T-shaped cannula at the terminal ileum, were allocated to 3 experimental diets in a completely randomized design. The 3 diets were a standard-fiber diet (SFD), which contained 75.1 g NDF/kg diet; a medium-fiber diet (MFD) of 105...

and Implications The impact of dietary amino acid regimen on the milk nutrient yield of sows differing in genetic capacity for lean tissue growth was determined. Primiparous sows with a high (.77 to .85 lb/day) or low (.53 to .62 lb/day) genetic capacity for lean tissue growth from 40 to 240 pounds body weight were evaluated. During lactation, sows were offered daily 14.3 pounds of one of four ...

Two studies were conducted to evaluate the effects of increasing dietary lysine and energy density on performance of Genetiporc nursery pigs. Experiment 1 was organized as a combination of two simultaneous experiments with one set of diets consisting of five treatments with increasing true ileal digestible (TID) lysine (0.99, 1.07, 1.14, 1.22, and 1.30%) and the second set of diets consisting o...
