Total protein requirement of the growing pig

Total Material Requirement of Growing China : 1995 – 2008

This article presents the accounts of China’s Total Material Requirement (TMR) during 1995–2008, which were compiled under the guidelines of Eurostat (2009) and with the Hidden Flow (HF) coefficients developed by the Wuppertal Institute. Subsequently, comparisons with previous studies are conducted. Using decomposition, we finally examine the influential factors that have changed the TMR of Chi...

Carvacrol attenuates serum levels of total protein, phospholipase A2 and histamine in asthmatic guinea pig

Objective: Pharmacological effects of carvacrol such as its anti-inflammatory activities have been shows. In this study the effects of carvacrol on serum levels of total protein (TP), phospholipase A2 (PLA2) and histamine in sensitized guinea pigs was evaluated. Materials and Methods: Sensitized guinea pigs were given drinking water alone (group S), drinking water containing three concentration...

Calcium requirement of growing rabbits.

T HE minimum calcium requirement of growing rabbits has not been determined. In practice dietary calcium levels have been based largely on information gained from other animals. Commercial rabbit diets commonly contain 0.8 to 1.0% calcium. Since the domestic rabbit is extensively used as an experimental animal and is increasingly used as a source of edible meat, particularly in the Los Angeles ...

Arginine requirement of the young pig.

Four experiments were conducted with an arginine (Arg)-deficient, semipurified diet to determine the Arg requirement of the weanling pig. The semipurified diet contained .18% bioavailable Arg as determined by a chick bioassay procedure and, when properly supplemented with Arg, allowed rat growth equal to that obtained with a 19.2% protein corn-soybean meal diet. A preliminary experiment with pi...
