Composition and in vivo and in vitro digestibility of cattle fecal waste
… digestion trials were conducted with six yearling steers to study apparent digestibility of fecal waste from steers fed a ground, high roughage finishing ration. In the first trial steers were fed a basal ration containing approximately 50% roughage. The ration contained 14.3% crude protein and …

The Effect of Harvesting and Storage Methods on Chemical Composition and in Vitro Digestibility of First Cutting Alfalfa Hay
<p>The importance of alfalfa hay in dairy cattle feeding is generally acknowledged. The reasons why alfalfa is used so extensively in dairy cattle rations are due to its high protein content, high acceptability by cattle, its wide ·area of adaptation, and high yields. A popular way of handling the …

In-vitro protein digestibility of human milk and three infant formulas
The percent in-vitro digestibility of proteins in human milk was determined by three different methods and compared with the in-vitro digestibility of proteins in Enfamil, Similac and Isomil. In-vitro digestibility was determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis …

VALUTAZIONE NUTRIZIONALE DI DIETE E ADDITIVI NELL'ALIMENTAZIONE DEL CANE
In the last few years, there has been an increased interest in pets’ nutrition and feeding. In term of research both basic and applied nutrition has expanded the knowledge of canine nutrition, it is now known that a well-balanced diet must include not only macronutrients but also an appropriate …

Performance of Nguni goats supplemented with sweet potato vines
Goats are small ruminants that play a major role in food security, especially as their meat and milk serve as vital sources of protein in most rural houses in developing countries. Goats in developing countries mostly depend on veld as feed that often does not provide the nutrient requirements …

Ruminant yemlerinin sindirilebilirliklerini saptamada uygulanan çeşitli in vitro yöntemlerinin karşılaştırılması üzerinde bir araştırma
In this work, the digestibility of the organic and dry matters in the forage and concentrate feed mate rials were determined hy various in vitro methods #uch as Tilley-Terry, Yan Soest, Cellulase and Concentrates. In the evaluation of the digestibility results, Tilley-Terry method was taken as the …

The decomposition of agricultural cellulosic wastes by coprinus cinereus
… of a larger research programme de signed to obtain a method of improving the feed value of waste straw to ruminants, using a selected microorganism. The work reported here was carried out to assess the potential of Coprinus cinereus (Schaeff ex Fr.) S.F. Gray sensu Konr. for this purpose, to …

Digestibility of dietary fiber by growing pigs
ABSTRACT: In vivo digestibility and in vitro digestibility experiments were used to study effects of feeding distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) and other high fiber ingredients to growing pigs. The objective of Exp. 1 was to measure the effects on digestibility of AA, energy, and fiber of …

Potential functionality and digestibility of oryzanol as determined using in vitro cell culture models
… endothelial cell (SVEC4-10) model and a human intestinal cell (C2BBe1) model in vitro were developed and capable to be used to study antioxidant activity, hypocholesterolemic capability and digestibility of γ-oryzanol. The critical and vital parameters in developing these cell models were the …

Chemical and enzymatic modification of whey proteins
… and enzymatic modifications of whey proteins and their effects on the protein's structural and functional properties were studied. Chemical modification by acylation improved the surface properties of the proteins. Succinylation, in particular, imparted a significant resistance against …

Seabird digestive physiology in relation to foraging ecology
… or specialists? The extent of specialization in seabird digestive processes to different diets and foraging methods, is investigated experimentally. Gut passage rates of different food types of tested in vitro digestibility may reflect dietary specialization, with favoured prey types excreted …

Variations in Amino Acid Standardized Ileal Digestibility in Soybean Meal
Soybean meal (SBM) is a staple proteinaceous feedstuff in diets for monogastric animals like poultry and swine. It is known that soybeans contain several anti-nutritional factors that, if untreated, results in decreased quality and bioavailability of amino acids (AA). Thermal processing via heat …

The impact of moisture-induced aggregation of soy protein isolate and hydrolysate during storage on product and nutritional quality
With the increased interest in protein-based foods in the United States, soy protein isolate (SPI) and hydrolysate (SPH) have become widely used in the food industry. However, during processing and distribution proteins/peptides tend to aggregate when introduced to increased temperatures and …

Biomass yield and nutritive value of Stylosanthes scabra accessions as forage source for Goats
Shortage of quality feed is the major constraint in livestock production, particularly under smallholder subsistence farmer s conditions in sub-Saharan Africa. Livestock production under smallholder subsistence farmers depends predominantly on communal grazed natural pastures, which are often …

Pet food: quality and quality improvement
Today’s pet food industry is growing rapidly, with pet owners demanding high-quality diets for their pets. The primary role of diet is to provide enough nutrients to meet metabolic requirements, while giving the consumer a feeling of well-being. Diet nutrient composition and digestibility are of …

Identifying nutritive, physical and volatile characteristics of oaten and lucerne hay that affect the short-term feeding preferences of lactating Holstein Friesian cows and Thoroughbred horses.
Feeding behaviour is controlled by the integration of both perceived cues from the plant and postingestive signals received by the animal. In general practice, dairy cattle are presented with a variety of feedstuffs throughout each day, in addition to changing feedstuffs over time. In the …

DESIGN AND OPTIMIZATION OF ADVANCED EMULSIONS AS BIOACTIVE COMPOUND CARRIERS FOR LOW-SATURATED FAT FOOD PRODUCTS: TECHNOLOGICAL AND NUTRITIONAL ASPECTS
Research in food engineering is increasingly using reverse engineering principles to design healthier food products. Growing concerns about the high intake of fat-rich foods and the associated increased risk of chronic diseases like obesity, diabetes, and hypertension are driving the food industry …

Application of a " Glucose Release Index " to assess physical and chemical characteristics of cereal grains that may influence starch digestion and subsequent energy supply to monogastrics
In the pig and poultry production industries, energy forms the largest and the greatest cost pressure when a diet is formulated. In Australia, cereal grains such as barley, sorghum, and wheat are the main dietary energy sources, comprising more than 60 % of the diet in many cases. Traditionally, …
