Angus×Simmental crossbred heifers (n=150) and steers (n=100) were used to evaluate 1 of 5 growing diets: 1) a corn-based growing diet (CRN); 2) a high-fat, high-protein coproduct blend; 3) a high-fat, low-protein coproduct blend; 4) a low-fat, high-protein coproduct blend; and 5) a low-fat, low-protein coproduct blend in a 2×2+1 factorial arrangement. Low-protein and low-fat diets were formulat...

BACKGROUND There is evidence that reducing blood glucose concentrations, inducing weight loss, and improving the lipid profile reduces cardiovascular risk in people with type 2 diabetes. OBJECTIVE We assessed the effect of various diets on glycemic control, lipids, and weight loss. DESIGN We conducted searches of PubMed, Embase, and Google Scholar to August 2011. We included randomized cont...

The effects of dietary conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor--Bay g 5421--on tissue lipid concentrations and fatty acid composition were investigated in male broiler chicks fed a low-protein diet. The trial comprised six isoenergetic broiler diets. One diet (high-protein diet) was used as a control diet and contained 230 g crude protein per kilogram. The other five d...

An experiment on Lohmann male broilers was conducted to evaluate the effect of different energy and protein levels on broiler performance and plasma concentrations of growth hormone (GH), thyroxine (T4), and triiodothyronine (T3). 600 day-old broilers were fed on either 2800(low-energy) or 3200(high-energy) Kcal ME/Kg diets with different protein levels during three periods of starter, grower a...
