The disappearance of free cholesterol in incubated serum is inhibited in some lightly heparinized subjects. This inhibition is accentuated when an emulsion of soy bean phosplmtides is added to the serum prior to incubation. The combined effect of in vivo heparin and in vitro phosphatide is the reverse of that produced by added phosphatide alone in unheparinized serum. In a limited number of exp...

The effects of amount and type of dietary fish proteins on plasma and liver cholesterol concentrations were evaluated in female rats. The isonitrogenous diets used contained 10 g cholesterol/kg and were carefully balanced for residual fat, cholesterol, Ca, Mg and P in the protein preparations. Cod meal, soya-bean protein or casein was incorporated into the diets as the only source of dietary pr...

Ileal digestibility and availability of lysine in protein concentrates ,for pigs The availability of lysine in protein concentrates for pigs and the relationship between ileal digestibility and availability have been investigated in two separate research projects : Dr Jane Leibholz of the University of Sydney, with weaner pigs, and myself at the Wollongbar Agricultural Institute, using grower p...

INTRODUCTION The environmental concerns, including dwindling crude oil resources, high oil prices, pollution, greenhouse CO2 emissions, and toxicity in the environment, married to societal pressures towards sustainable development are currently making countries around the world turn to biomass as a renewable resource for a variety of products: fuels, lubricants, chemicals, polymers, fibers, neu...

The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of different levels of pomegranate by- product (PBP) on performance, egg quality and blood parameters in laying hens. A total of 144 Bobze layer hens from 44 to 56 weeks during 12 weeks were randomly assigned into 4 treatments including 0 (control, corn and soy bean meal), 4, 8 and 12% of PBP, with 4 replicates and 9 layers in each. Res...

Investigations undertaken to elucidate the mechanism whereby concentrates of the soy bean trypsin inhibitor depress growth have indicated that an inhibition of intestinal proteolysis is not the only factor involved (l-3). In a previous paper (4), it was shown that a concentrate of the soy bean trypsin inhibitor, which had been treated so as to destroy its antitryptic activity, still retained th...

One hundred seventy pigs averaging 21 +/- 1 d of age (initially 5.4 and 5.8 kg, respectively) were used in each of two experiments to determine the effect that further heat processing by moist extrusion has on the nutritional value of soybean products fed to the early-weaned pig (d 0 to 14 postweaning). The experiments were designed as randomized complete blocks with treatments arranged as a 2 ...

Two trials were conducted to determine the suitability of soybean products for baby pigs. Weanling pigs (n = 40 and 48 in Trials 1 and 2, respectively) were infused orally (6 g/d) with dried skim milk, soybean meal (SBM, 48% CP); soy protein concentrate, moist extruded soy protein concentrate, or soy protein isolate from d 7 to 12 of age. Pigs were then fed a diet containing the same protein so...
