Essential Fatty Acids in Maternal Diets

Low birth weight: Low birth weight is multifactorial in its causation. Short maternal stature, maternal anaemia, low energy intake and low weight gain in pregnancy, infections and smoking have all been identified as possible factors. The gestational age of liveborn infants in poor Indian communities appears to be significantly shorter than that reported for the developed countries. As an exampl...

Essential fatty acids in ruminant diets

The essentiality of the unsaturated fatty acids, linoleic and linolenic, was described by Burr and Burr in a series of papers from the late 1920’s to the early 1930’s (Burr et al., 1932). They are incorporated into membranes as such, and are precursors for other unsaturated fatty acids that are key for metabolic regulation and cell membrane function and are essential to life for all mammals. Pr...

Effects of Supplementing Broiler Diets Low in Crude Protein with Essential and Nonessential Amino Acids

A study was conducted to evaluate the effects of adding all essential amino acids (EAA) equal to that of higher CP diets or a mixture of nonessential amino acids (NEAA) to low CP diets on the live performance of broilers during the period of 0 to 21 d. A series of experimental diets comprised primarily of corn and soybean meal were formulated to contain 3,200 ME kcal/kg. Five primary diets were...
