Effects of feeding diets varying in nutrient density to Hy-Line W-36 laying hens on production performance and profitability
… determine whether feeding diets that varied in nutrient density would affect long-term egg production performance. At 18 wk of age, laying hens were weighed and randomly allocated to 6 replicate groups of 16 hens each (2 adjacent cages containing 8 hens per cage, 60.9 x 58.4 cm) per dietary …

Effects of Using Canola Meal as a Protein Source in Broiler Diets
… using two diet types; isocaloric and optimum nutrient density, two amounts of DDGS (0 and 15%) and six levels of canola meal (CM) (0, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25%). The resulting data suggest if diets are maintained isocalorically any combinations of ≤ 15% DDGS and ≤ 25% CM without significantly …

Nutrient intake of hospital patients on self-selected diets
Mean daily nutrient intake was calculated for 64 obstetrical patients from three-day selective menus. Judged by the standard of the 1974 Recommended Dietary Allowances, the mean intake of 27 lactating subjects was adequate in energy and all nutrients; the intake of 37 non-lactating subjects met the …
