The beneficial effects of long-chain (C chain >or=20) n-3 PUFA are well documented and, overall, increased intake reduces risk of CVD. Recent evidence also points to a role in reducing age-related decline in cognitive function. The two key fatty acids are EPA (20:5) and DHA (22:6), with current UK recommendation for adults being 450 mg EPA+DHA/d. Whilst some EPA and DHA can be synthesised in vi...

A triple stable-isotope method was used to estimate simultaneously selenium absorption from poultry meat intrinsically labelled with 74Se and from an extrinsic tracer of 76SeO3(2-) in four young adult men. The subjects received an experimental diet based on chicken meat as the source of protein. Two diet periods, lasting from 5 to 10 d, depending on the frequency of stool output for each subjec...

A FAIRLY LARGE NUMBER of different elements and compounds are required for the normal nutrition of poultry. If one or more of them are not present in the diet in adequate quantity, or if certain ones are present in an unsuitable ratio, there is a distui'bance of nutritiori, or of the functioning of the body, which may be referred to as a nutritional disease. Other nutritional diseases may resul...

The feasibility of establishing probiotic bacteria in the intestine of broiler chickens by in ovo inoculation was investigated, followed by verifying possible subsequent protection against Salmonella Enteriditis infection. In a first study, 7 commercially available probiotics were screened for compatibility with in ovo inoculation. Two of these probiotics, one being a Enterococcus faecium and t...

Two experiments were conducted to compare broiler chicken responses to methionine and betaine supplements when fed diets with low protein and relatively high metabolizable energy levels (17%, 3.3 kcal/g) or moderate protein and lower metabolizable energy levels (24%, 3.0 kcal/g), resulting in different levels of carcass fat. In Experiment 1, the basal diets were formulated with corn, soybean me...

diet components are one of the determination factors for changing of morphology of small intestines which lead to a change in digestien and absorption of nutritiond subs tonces.to study the histomorphometric changes of small intestine due to hull- less barley food diets in poultry, 20, of 70 weeks old healthy road island red cocks were selected and divided equally into 2 experimental groups and...

the aim of this study was to compare the effects of two levels of crude protein using poultry by-product meals (pbpm) fed during late gestation on the performance, blood metabolites, and colostrum composition of holstein dairy cows. sixteen multiparous cows 26±6 d before expected calving were assigned randomly to two treatments containing 1) 14% and 2) 16% crude protein. the cow’s bcs was 3.56 ...

Approximately 3 billion people were unable to afford a healthy diet in 2019 because of poverty and inequality. Most these live Asia Africa. Furthermore, 30% the world population was affected by moderate severe food insecurity 2020, most this lives low- middle-income countries. The is at critical juncture, there an urgent need for transformative systems that ensure empowerment poor vulnerable gr...

The aim of the experiment was to assess content N-corrected apparent metabolisable energy (AMEn) in dried Sea buckthorn berries (SB) when fed Ross 308 broiler chickens. Two experimental diets (basal and basal + 12 g/kg milled SB berries) were an equal number replicated pens (n=8; two birds each) from 7 21d age, following randomisation. diet formulated meet breeder’s recommendations. inclusion a...
