1. The metabolic consequences of chronic ethanol feeding was investigated by assay of urinary metabolites. Male Wistar rats were fed a liquid diet containing 35% of total energy as ethanol or isovolumetric, isocaloric and isonitrogenous amounts of the same diet in which ethanol was substituted by isocaloric glucose (controls). 2. At 6 weeks the entire skeletal muscle mass was reduced by approxi...

The fast atom bombardment spectra of three phospholipids containing a secondary, tertiary, and quaternary nitrogenous base attached to a 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphate skeleton were shown to each contain an ion derived from the intact nitrogenous base. The collisional activation mass analyzed ion kinetic energy spectroscopy (CA MIKES) spectrum produced from each of these ions was shown ...

Forty-eight Suffolk Mule entire male lambs (22.3 kg average live weight, two months old) were used to study the effects of addition of sodium bicarbonate and increasing quantities of molassed sugar beet pulp (MSBP) to diets based on barley grain (780 g kgÿ1 fresh weight and approximately iso-energetic and iso-nitrogenous). Measurements were made of dry matter (DM) intake, growth, some ruminal a...

Different dietary cereal sources and fat types in the lactation diet were evaluated to investigate their effects on reproductive performance, milk composition, blood metabolites and hormones in multiparous sows. Twenty-four sows were randomly assigned to one of four treatments according to a 2×2 factorial arrangement of treatments. Each treatment had 6 replicates comprising 1 sow. Two cereal (c...

Aim: To evaluate the effects of inclusion of roasted guar meal, also known as guar korma, as a partial replacement for deoiled soybean meal (SBM) in commercial broiler diets, on production performance and carcass traits of Cobb-400 broiler chickens. Materials and Methods: 1600 one-day-old Cobb-400 broiler chicks were randomly assigned into four dietary treatments, each with four replicates (n =...

The study was conducted to investigate the chemical composition of distillery yeast sludge and its inclusion in broiler diets to replace canola meal. Raw distillery yeast sludge was washed with water using water and sludge in the ratio 6:1, respectively. Proximate analysis of raw distillery yeast sludge and washed distillery sludge was carried out for crude protein (CP), true protein (TP), ethe...

The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of feeding different levels of Guar germ on fattening performance of sheep. Twelve Sudan desert lamps of an average body weight (17.6 kg) were used in feedlot performance trial for 60 days. Four rations: A control, B, C and D were formulated, they consist different levels of guar germ (0, 15, 25 and 32%, respectively). The rations were prepared to ...

Background: Hospital standards are one of the valuest concepture items in an organization and hospital management. The research purpose was determination of luchs of hospital evaluation current way throght the comparission with ISO quality management standards and suggestion of a model to hospital standard development based on aquired findings. Materials & Methods: This research is a descripti...

This study consisted of two experiments, conducted to assess the impact of phase at which vegetable protein (VP) diets are introduced to broiler chicks, and preference of birds for diets based on soybean or canola meal (CM). Two hundred and ten day-old Cobb 500 chicks were randomly distributed into five dietary groups in the main experiment. One group was fed on animal protein (AP) diet all thr...
