The loss of all deuterium labels from previous feedings of [2-²H]-,
[3,3-²H₂]-, and [2,3,3-²H₃]arginines had indicated the possible intermediacy
of β-hydroxy- and β-ketoarginine (30 and 31, respectively) in the
biosynthesis of the streptolidine portion of streptothricin F (la).
In order to confirm or refute this evidence, D,L-[2,3,3,5,5-²H₅]-
arginine (32) was...
Two experiments were conducted each with 768 Deka lb XL Single Comb
White Leghorn (SCWL) laying pullets for nine and eight 28-day periods to evaluate
the feeding value of yellow pea (YP) (Pisum sativum L. var. Miranda) without and
with, respectively, either 1.5 or 5% meat and bone meal (MB)...
An important aspect in device technology is the
processing of GaAs to produce highly-resolved etch
patterns on the substrate. This is done typically on the
GaAs(100) surface. Recently, a number of methods, all
using chlorinated vapor reactants, have been applied to
fabrication of GaAs devices. In spite of these
technological...
The objective of this work was to define the effects of
dietary energy intake on broiler fat deposition and
metabolism. Fatty broilers are one of the major problems in
the broiler industry.
The effects of changing calorie to protein (Cal/Pr)
ratios, and the addition of cellulose or dried distiller's byproduct...
Machine Vision has been extensively applied in industry.
This thesis project, which originated with a local food
processor, applies a vision system to inspection of packages
for cosmetric errors. The basic elements and theory of the
machine vision system are introduced, and some image
processing techniques, such as histogram analysis,...
Most of the feed required for poultry production in
the Republic of Yemen is imported from Europe. Sometimes,
feed shipments arrive later due to lack of hard currencies
to pay for the feed or to pay the freight charges. Yemeni
broiler producers in such cases feed their birds a single...
The high quality feedstuffs which are used in poultry feeds
are costly and could be used directly for human food. There is less
competition for fibrous feedstuffs which are less digestible by
humans and other nonruminants.
Feedstuffs containing crude and refined dietary fiber were
examined for their effects on performance,...
