In vitro fermentation experiments and a feeding trial were conducted to determine how distillers byproducts impact rumen microbiology and metabolism. The in vitro rate of lactic acid disappearance was not stimulated by direct addition of distillers byproducts to mixed rumen contents collected from a steer adapted to a high concentrate diet. However, if animals were fed condensed distillers bypr...

the aim of this study was to determine the environmental risk of pesticide a.i. applied to control insects and fungus in cereal farming in sanliurfa, turkey. in 2013, 8 active ingredients (a.i.) in cereal farming were applied for insect and fungus control in sanliurfa, turkey. these a.i. were alpha-cypermethrin(ec), chlorpyrifos(ec;wp), difenoconazole(ec), indoxacarb(wg), lambda-cyhalothrin(ec)...

Epidemiological studies have demonstrated a relationship between a diet containing an excess of energy-dense food rich in fats and sugar and the emergence of a range of chronic diseases, including colon cancer, obesity, cardiovascular diseases and several other disorders [12, 49, 9, 77, 13, 14]. As the presence of fibre in food produces a diminution in their caloric content, thus, an increase i...

Wet brewer’s grains (WBG) are by-products of the brewing industry. These products are derived mainly from barley fermented to produce beer. They contain 230 to 290 g/kg CP of DM basis and are rich in digestible fiber (Pereira et al., 1998; Dhiman et al., 2003). Due to their fibrous nature and low energy content, WBG are suitable for ruminants, particularly in dairy cows, to balance intake of la...

BACKGROUND Poor micronutrient status is reported among adolescents across Europe and USA. This may be related to the well-documented decline in the regular consumption of breakfast by this group. The regular consumption of a breakfast cereal offers a possible means to improve micronutrient status; fortified cereal is likely to have enhanced benefit. A study was conducted to determine the effica...

BACKGROUND Conflicting results from vitamin E intervention studies suggest supplemental vitamin E malabsorption. OBJECTIVE We compared vitamin E bioavailability from a supplement with that from a fortified breakfast cereal. DESIGN Vitamin E bioavailability was evaluated by using deuterium-labeled all-rac-alpha-tocopherol in three 4-d trials (2 wk apart). Five fasting subjects sequentially c...

background: breakfast cereal is a nutritious type of food that is widely consumed by various age groups in kuwait. this study investigates the presence of long-lived gamma emitters in breakfast cereal, and estimates annual effective doses to various age groups. materials and methods: breakfast cereal samples were collected from the kuwaiti local market. the samples originated from different cou...

Recent data on breakfast consumption among Australian children are limited. This study examined the impact of breakfast skipping and breakfast type (cereal or non-cereal) on nutrient intakes, likelihood of meeting nutrient targets and anthropometric measures. A secondary analysis of two 24-h recall data from the 2007 Australian National Children's Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey was cond...

BACKGROUND This study compared the effects of ingesting cereal and nonfat milk (Cereal) and a carbohydrate-electrolyte sports drink (Drink) immediately following endurance exercise on muscle glycogen synthesis and the phosphorylation state of proteins controlling protein synthesis: Akt, mTOR, rpS6 and eIF4E. METHODS Trained cyclists or triathletes (8 male: 28.0 +/- 1.6 yrs, 1.8 +/- 0.0 m, 75....
