Chick Growth Response Resulting from Methionine Additions to Various Protein Supplements with Pea Protein

Influence of dietary protein level on the broiler chicken's response to methionine and betaine supplements.

Two experiments were conducted to compare broiler chicken responses to methionine and betaine supplements when fed diets with low protein and relatively high metabolizable energy levels (17%, 3.3 kcal/g) or moderate protein and lower metabolizable energy levels (24%, 3.0 kcal/g), resulting in different levels of carcass fat. In Experiment 1, the basal diets were formulated with corn, soybean me...

Response of laying hens to supplementation with various fatty acids when fed diets inadequate in protein and sulphur amino acids

A protein disulphide reductase from pea seeds.

1. A closed-circuit respirometer has been devised for measurement of the respiratory exchange in mice. It is particularly suitable for 14C-tracer experiments. 2. In the post-absorptive state the New Zealand strain of obese mice has a greater oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production/g. body weight than a control strain of normal mice. 3. New Zealand obese mice oxidize [1-14C]or [2-14C]-a...

Response of Etiolated Pea Seedlings and Cotton to Ethylene Produced from L-methionine by Soil Microorganisms

The presence of a suitable substrate(s) in soil may release physiologically active concentration of a plant hormone ethylene (C2H4) as a result of microbial activity. We isolated three strains of fungi (Aspergillus clavatus, Penicillium commure and Thamridium elegans), from the maize rhizosphere soil, capable of producing C2H4 in the soil from L-methionine (10 mmol l). The plate and soil inocul...

Response of lactating dairy cows to high protein distillers grains or 3 other protein supplements.

This study compared high protein dried distillers grains (HPDDG) with soybean meal (SBM), canola meal (CM), and dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) as protein supplements in dairy diets. A lactation trial used 12 multiparous cows averaging 78 d in milk at the start of the experiment in a 4 x 4 Latin square design with 28-d periods. Weeks 1 and 2 of each period were used for adjustment ...
