arginine (arg) requirements of male broilers (ross 308) reared at high altitude (2100 mabove sea level) during the 1-to 3-week period was estimated in a graded supplementationmethod, in which six diets (230 g kg-1 cp and 3200 kcal me kg-1) with arg increments of1.25 g kg-1 were applied to four pens of fifteen birds each. dietary arg content of theexperimental groups ranged from 10 g kg-1 (80% o...

The research is devoted to the feed value and amino acid composition of sprouted triticale grain. purpose study article presents results a 3 domestic varieties grains for use in industry. physicochemical parameters, as well mass fraction carbohydrates, content vitamins, mineral elements were studied. data obtained indicate that source easily digestible acids, fatty vitamins enzymes. According c...

Amino acids (AA) are important in poultry nutrition not only for protein deposition, but also for other metabolic functions; such as improving immune and gut functions. Although, some table values are available on amino acids requirement, AA requirements may vary due to changes in dietary composition and breeding selection. Thus amino acids requirements have remained an ongoing research topic. ...

Securigera securidaca (L.) Degen & Dorfl grows in different parts of Iran. The seeds of the species are used in Iranian folk medicine as an anti-diabetic agent. Many studies have established hypoglycemic effects of amino acids and in the present investigation, amino acids of Securigera securidaca seeds have been evaluated. The ground seeds were extracted using petroleum ether,...

Ileal digesta were collected via a post-valve-T-caecum cannula from piglets ( lo-15 kg) fed diets based on raw pea or on pea protein isolate (Finale or Frijaune variety). From the determined amino acids (AA) content of feed and digesta, AA apparent digestibility coefficients and proportions of proteins (endogenous, bacterial, dietary) theoretically present in digesta were calculated. Four essen...

Introduction. Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.) is grown primarily for its edible tubers, which were first cultivated by native Americans before the arrival of the Europeans. Unlike most tubers, but in common with other members of the Asteraceae, the tubers store fructans instead of starch. Fructans are non-digestible carbohydrates considered functional food ingredients because they...

The most important single factor affecting the efficiency of protein utilization is the profile of digestible essential amino acids entering the small intestine. Assuming a constant ideal amino acid profile of absorbed protein the requirements of all amino acids can be calculated when the requirement of one individual amino acid has been determined. In non-ruminants, the supply will be greatly ...

In this experiment, the effect of prebiotic Bio-Mos® (MOS) and types of feed formulation (total and digestible amino acids) were evaluated on performance and the small intestine microflora in laying hens for a duration of 10 wks. A total of 168 Hy line W-36 laying hens, with an initial age of 73 wks, were randomly allocated to 4 dietary treatments, 7 replicates and 6 birds in each replicate. Th...
