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 …

Effects of tannins on protein digestibility and detoxification activity in gray squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis)
… for the lower dry matter intake, lower apparent protein digestibility, lower digestible protein and energy intakes, and higher glucuronidation activity observed in squirrels fed red oak acorns. Although apparent protein digestibility and digestible protein intakes were reduced on a white oak …

Determination of tannin levels in multi-purpose Kenyan trees and fodder crops, their variation and effect on protein digestibility in ruminants
Energy and protein are the major limiting nutrients in dairy production on the small scale mixed farms in Kenya. Commercial feed supplements are expensive and therefore multipurpose fodder trees (MPT) and forage crops are advocated as the alternative supplements, because they are inexpensive, able …

The Effects Of Microencapsulated Vitamin And Trace Mineral Premixes And Red Osier Dogwood Extract On Growth Performance, Immune Response, And Gut Health Of Broiler Chickens In A Coccidiosis Vaccine Challenge Model
… feed additives on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, immune response, and meat yield during a coccidiosis vaccine challenge using a 12x label dose of live coccidiosis vaccine in broiler chickens housed in bioassay cages. The first study evaluated the effects of red osier dogwood extract …

Preparation, characterization, and evaluation of sorghum flour with increased resistant starch content
… flour and investigate the effects of sorghum protein matrix on starch digestibility. Samples of white sorghum flour (28.9% amylose content) with different moisture contents (0%, 12.5%, 20%, and 30%) were treated at different temperatures (100, 120, and 140 [degrees]C) for different times (1, …

The Utilization of Dietary Carbohydrates by Trout and Carp
… dextrin was less well utilized. Carbohydrate digestibility depended on the carbohydrate source, while protein digestibility did not, but was often over 75%. Carp could tolerate higher levels of carbohydrates and less protein than trout. The 45% cassava, rice or dextrin, or 30% corn led to the …

Effect of proteolytic enzyme and fiber of papaya fruit on human digestive health
… indicated that ripe papaya displayed the highest protein digestibility; this is associated with proteolytic enzymes still active at the acidity of the stomach. Results from the in vitro fermentation study indicated that ripe papaya produced the highest amount of Short Chain Fatty Acids SCFA of the …

Effects of malting and dehulling on the functional structural antioxidant properties of Bambara Groundnut (Vigna Subterranean) flour
… Verdc) is an underutilised legume crop rich in protein, fibre, and phytochemicals. This research aimed to examine the influence of dehulling and malting (120 h) on the functional, structural, and antioxidant properties of flours from three Bambara groundnut (BGN) varieties (cream, brown, and …

NUTRITIONAL STRATEGIES FOR IMPROVING THE SUSTAINABILITY OF SWINE FARMING
… the finishing phase; ii) the use of alternative protein sources to reduce feed-food competition and the European protein gap in pigs’ early life stages; iii) the use of biochar as an ingredient to improve the health status of post-weaning piglets. The first research project evaluated a commercial …

The role of protein and starch of legumes and cereals on the formation of healthy snack products
Proteins, vitamins, minerals and carbohydrates are important nutrients that play vital role in human metabolism. Cereals and Legumes are significant source of protein, dietary fiber, carbohydrates and dietary minerals. They are also an excellent source of essential amino acid lysine. Unfortunately, …

Technologies for improving the quality of bread doughs made with barley spent grain and sorghum
… of dried BSG through roller milling enriched the protein of BSG flour, but gave poor loaf volume and denser crumb. Additionally, the much lower flour extraction yields compared to hammer milling which gives a 100 % extraction rate flour would impact negatively on the product economic viability. …

Evaluation of a phytogenic feed additive on performance, nutrient digestion, and absorption in turkey poults
… a similar diet with a 1.5% reduction in crude protein and key amino acids (NC), or the NC with the addition of Digestarom® (PFA) included at a rate of 1 g/kg. Body weight gain (BWG), feed intake (FI), feed efficiency (FE), and mortality were recorded throughout the experiment. On day 14 poults …

Protein quality and digestibility of whole wheat as affected by drum-drying and single screw extrusion processing
… drum-drying and thermoplastic extrusion, on protein quality and digestibility of whole wheat. Coker 916 whole wheat flour was made into a simulated whole wheat spaghetti by extrusion cooking (single screw, 50 psi, 93°C) and a flaked product by drum-drying (152°C). Protein Efficiency Ratios …

Soybean hulls as a dietary fiber source in canine and feline diets
… SBH. Dogs fed CL had greater (P < 0.05) ATT fat digestibility (94%) compared with all other treatments (mean = 91%). Dogs fed CL and NF had greater (P < 0.05) ATT crude protein digestibility, 87% and 86%, respectively, while SBH and BP resulted in intermediate (83%) and lower (79%) digestibility …
