Effects of dietary components on antibiotic resistance using mechanistic and plasmid based studies
Antibiotic resistance may have the potential to spread from animals to humans through the food chain. It has been observed that prebiotics such as mannan rich fraction (MRF) improve broiler growth and performance in a similar manner to antibiotic growth promotors. They have also been linked to a …

The Utilization of Dietary Fiber and Its Effects on The Utilization of Other Dietary Components by Swine
The utilization of dietary fiber and its effects on the utilization of dietary dry matter (DM), nitrogen (N), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF), hemicellulose (H) and digestible energy (DE) by growing swine. For weanling pigs, fecal N excretion was increased and N retention …

The dietary management of phenylketonuria
… wider understanding of the impact of each of the dietary components on blood phenylalanine concentrations in PKU may lead to improvements in management. Knowledge of the effects of such rigorous diet therapy on feeding behaviour is also important. In a series of studies, the effect of a number of …

Comparative analysis of primate hydrogenotrophic microbiota
In the human gastrointestinal system, dietary components, including fiber, that reach the colon are fermented principally to short-chain fatty acids, hydrogen and carbon dioxide. Microbial disposal of the hydrogen generated during anaerobic fermentation in the human colon is critical to the …
