The objectives of this study were to evaluate the feeding value
and potential toxicity of single cell protein (SCP) when fed to
ruminants.
Three in vivo digestibility trials with lambs, one feedlot trial
with steers and one long term feeding trial of high levels of SCP with
sheep were conducted...
These studies focused on maximizing the nutrition and safety of raw whole
muscle beef while minimizing quality and shelf-life alteration. The first study used
response surface methodology to predict fluid loss from injected beef strip loins and
steaks as influenced by levels of salt and sodium phosphates (SP) in the...
Calcium is important to bone health as well as related to a number of health problems such as osteoporosis, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and some cancers. Calcium intake level was far below the Dietary Reference Intake and dairy product consumption was inconsistent with the Daily Dietary Guidelines among adolescents in Taiwan...
The bioavailability of vitamin B-6 from four selected
foods was investigated in five men, aged 22 to 25 years,
who were receiving a pyridoxine supplement. The subjects
received a constant diet containing 1.34 mg of vitamin B-6
throughout this five-week study, except on Saturdays and
Sundays when they ate their...
A four months continuous feeding trial was conducted
to evaluate Canola meal as a single protein supplement in
complete dairy rations. Thirty high producing Holstein
cows in the second week of lactation were randomly alloted
in groups of ten to one of three isonitrogenous (15% CP)
and isocaloric (1.6 Mcal/kg...
Two experiments were conducted to determine the effects of daily (D) vs
alternate day (AD) supplementation of soybean meal (SBM) or wheat
middlings (WM) on forage organic matter intake (OMI), ruminal digesta
kinetics, total tract digestibility, and ADG of steers consuming low quality
forage. In Exp. 1, five Angus x...
The plasma concentrations and the dietary intakes of vitamin E
were determined in 20 elderly and ten young subjects. Five subjects
in the older group were known to take supplements of vitamin E. The
mean concentration of tocopherols (determined chemically) in the
plasma of all unsupplemented subjects was 1.12 ±...
This investigation was designed to add to present understanding
of vitamin B-6 (B6) metabolism during exercise. Ten women, 5
aerobically trained and 5 untrained, were fed 4 controlled diets: a
moderate carbohydrate (49%) (MCHO) for 2 weeks, a high carbohydrate
(63%) (HCHO) for one week, MCH0+B6 for 2 weeks, and...
A study was conducted to determine the effect of dietary protein on
performance of commercial New Zealand White rabbits.
In Part I of this study, three levels of crude protein (17.5, 19
and 20.5%) were fed to lactating does and their offspring during a 12
month period. Total rabbits born...
