in order to evaluate eight different protein sources in honey bee nutrition, some experiments were conducted as a completely randomized designs with four replicates and three steps incubator, field and overwintering in isfahan region. protein sources were lentil flour, soybean flour, soybean meal, bread yeast, wheat gluten, skim milk powder, fish meal and pollen. results showed that the longevi...

Ethanol byproducts or coproducts (I may use the two terms interchangeably) result from the fermentation of grains, typically corn, to produce ethanol – either for fuel use or for human consumption plus distillers grains and possibly other byproducts. Most of the ethanol produced in the U.S.A. today is via dry grinding, with dried distillers grains plus solubles (DDGS) as the main byproduct (Rau...

Celiac disease is triggered by partially digested gluten proteins. Enzyme therapies that complete protein digestion in vivo could support a gluten-free diet, but the barrier to completeness is high. Current options require enzyme amounts on the same order as the protein meal itself. In this study, we evaluated proteolytic components of the carnivorous pitcher plant (Nepenthes spp.) for use in t...

BACKGROUND Obesity is a state of chronic low-grade inflammation. Chronic low-grade inflammation is associated with the pathophysiology of both type-2 diabetes and atherosclerosis. Prevention or reduction of chronic low-grade inflammation may be advantageous in relation to obesity related co-morbidity. In this study we investigated the acute effect of dietary protein sources on postprandial low-...

—Taurine has been demonstrated to be conditionally indispensable for several carnivorous fish species. Current trends in trout production include decreasing levels of fish-meal content in feeds, along with faster growing strains of fish. Taurine may be a limiting nutrient in support of elevated planes of growth for rainbow trout. A 9-wk feeding trial was conducted using a factorial treatment de...

This study investigated the possibility of using cecectomized laying hens for the determination of amino acid (AA) digestibility of protein sources as an alternative to measurements made at the terminal ileum. Toasted soybeans and corn gluten meal were used as test protein sources. A low-protein basal diet was based mainly on corn, wheat gluten, and cornstarch. In 4 other diets toasted soybeans...

A system was developed for evaluation of protein sources in ruminant diets. Two steer growth trials were conducted to determine if the system would differentiate between protein sources. Corn cob, corn-based diets were supplemented with urea or a test protein: soybean meal (SBM), a SBM-bentonite complex (SBMB), direct-cut dehydrated (DCD) or wilted dehydrated alfalfa (WD) or corn gluten meal (C...

Four ruminally cannulated and two intact multiparous Holstein cows were used in a 3 × 3 replicated Latin square design to evaluate digestibility and rumen traits in lactating dairy cows in response to feeding wet corn gluten feed and a novel product containing raw soybean hulls and corn steep liquor. Three dietary treatments were fed in the experiment. The control contained (DM basis) 30% alfal...

The present study aimed to verify whether the inclusion of other ingredients in diet laying hens could interfere with traceability bovine meat and bone meal (BMBM) eggs through stable carbon nitrogen isotope analysis. Two hundred fifty-six white were used randomly distributed into eight treatments composed of: CONTROL: control diet; GLUTEN: + corn gluten; YEAST: yeast; GLUTEN gluten BMBM: 4.5 %...

Sixty-three cross-bred lambs were randomly assigned to one of seven treatments according to a 2 × 3 + 1 factorial design (Table 1). There were two byproduct diets: one, a wet corn gluten feed which is a blend of 1/3 steep liquor/distiller solubles and 2/3 corn bran; and the second diet, where onehalf of the corn bran was replaced with wheat midds. Steep liquor/distiller solubles remained consta...
