the effect of three different levels of dietary electrolyte balance (deb), in mean values of 114, 183 and 250 (meq/kg), on broiler performance was evaluated. a number of 486 arian male chicks were employed in a randomaized block design of three replicates and 54 chicks in each level replication. diets were available to chicks ad lib and in three dietary phases. serum na+,k+, cl- concentrations ...

Cobb male broiler chicks (1,000) on new litter were used to evaluate effects of dietary electrolyte balance [DEB; Na+K-Cl, milliequivalents (mEq) per kilogram] under tropical summer conditions. Corn-soybean meal-based mash diets had salt (NaCl) alone or in combination with one or more supplements: sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3), ammonium chloride (NH4Cl), or potassium bicarbonate (KHCO3). A comple...

The effects of different dietary electrolyte balance (DEB) on growth performance, nitrogen (N) metabolism and some blood biochemical parameters were investigated in 2 to 3 months old growing rabbits. A total of 150 growing rabbits of 2 months age were randomly divided into five groups according to average body weight, with 30 rabbits in each group. The DEB levels of the five experimental diets ...

Dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa pruriginosa (DEB-P) is an extremely itchy variant of DEB. The cause for the itch unknown and there are no effective treatments. We hypothesised a role IgE in DEB-P itch. To explore this, we measured total blood skin 15 non-atopic subjects, two matched control groups non-itchy DEB subjects (DEB-NP) healthy volunteers (HV), via ImmunoCAPTM Total tissue immunofluor...

Dietary electrolyte balance is the equilibrium of monovalent cations and anions that influence acid-base feed (dEB = Na + K ? Cl, mEq kg?1). electrolytes/minerals can physiological changes during smoltification in Atlantic salmon. In this context, we aimed to study if dEB freshwater feeds be used pre-adapt hypoosmotic functionality associated effects on mineral metabolism. The commercial salmon...

We compared the acid-base balance in broiler chickens provided diets containing 2 dietary electrolyte balances (DEB), and administered with either adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) or saline solution. Diets were moderate (174 mEq/kg) or high (241 mEq/kg) DEB formulated by altering Na-K-Cl based on actual analysis. The experiment was designed as a split plot, with the main unit consisting of 4 ...

Pentyl ether (PE) and two newly synthesized polyoxy ethers, 1,4-diethoxybutane (DEB) and 1,6-dimethoxyhexane (DMH), have been proposed as candidate diesel fuel additives. To characterize and compare their toxicity and to provide information for risk assessment, a 4-week oral study was conducted on these compounds. Male Sprague-Dawley rats (288 +/- 20 g) were divided into groups of seven animals...
