A microbiological assay of penicillin in animal feeds.
The universal acceptance of the animal growth-promoting properties of some antibiotics and their wide usage in formulated commercial feeds requires that simple, rapid and reliable analytical methods be available for control purposes. Of the several antibiotics used in poultry rations, penicillin exerts its growth-promoting properties at levels considerably lower than other antibiotics (2 grams ...
متن کاملInvestigation of Aflatoxins in Imported Animal Feeds in Iran
Background: Aflatoxins (AF’s) are secondary metabolites produced by certain species of fungi on grains and animal feeds. Because of serious impact of AF’s on health, they should be monitored closely in potentially hazardous foods and feeds. Method: In this study, AF’s in imported animal feeds including cereals, corn gluten and meals (pastes derived from the cotton, colza and sunflower seeds) f...
متن کاملA Differential Microbiological Assay
Although vitamin B12 can be assayed biologically with mice, chicks or rats, the microbiological method of assay is preferred since it is more rapid and economical. One serious shortcoming of many microbiological B12 assay procedures is the lack of specificity when crude materials are assayed. Crude materials can contain inhibitory or stimulatory factors which cause serious errors in assay resul...
متن کاملPellet Quality in Animal Feeds
Pelleting costs money, and better pellets cost a little more. Payback comes in the form of convenience in handling the feed and more efficient use of the feed by the animal. Improved efficiency is due in part to heat processing which reduces pathogens and makes starches more digestible. A significant portion of the improvement is related to the physical form of the pellet. Durable pellets reduc...
متن کاملOf Antibiotics Microbiological Ring Expansion of Penicillin
A mutant of Cephalosporium acremonium producing high amounts of penicillin N was isolated. This antibiotic was purified and characterized. It was possible to convert this penicillin N to deacetoxycephalosporin C enzymatically. The reaction could be carried out with enzyme systems prepared from C. acremonium mutants producing either no S-lactam antibiotics or excreting only penicillin N. It was ...
