A study was carried out to investigate the effects of dietary methionine source and level on plasma free amino acids patterns and the expression of genes involved in hepatic methionine metabolism in broiler breeders. A total of 2184 broiler breeders were assigned to 13 dietary treatments, with eight replicates per treatment. The 13 treatments included one control group and 12 additional treatme...

Sulphur is an essential element that all pathogens have to absorb from their surroundings in order to grow inside their infected host. Despite its importance, the relevance of sulphur assimilation in fungal virulence is largely unexplored. Here we report a role of the bZIP transcription factor MetR in sulphur assimilation and virulence of the human pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus. The MetR regul...

The physiological status of poultry can be disturbed by different stressors that may lead to oxidative stress conditions. Oxidative activates defense systems, which mitigates the adverse effects. Several lines system exist, including enzyme systems such as catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and non-enzymatic antioxidants Glutathione (GSH). Methionine—a vit...

Abstract The amino acid l -methionine is an essential and commonly used as a feed supplement in terrestrial animals. It less suitable for marine organisms because it readily excreted. also highly water soluble this results loss of the eutrophication water. To address these problems, dipeptide dl -methionyl- (trade name: AQUAVI Met-Met) has been developed dedicated methionine source aquaculture....

The objective of this research was to determine the effect different starters consisted dried whey and soy proteins with low anti-nutritive factors (ANFs) + amino acids (lysine methionine) on body measurements, biochemical parameters, feed consumption early-weaned female Holstein calves. Based starter, calves were divided into four groups: i) control (control starter), ii) E1 (starter added dry...

In situ, digestion, and growth studies were conducted to evaluate four meat and bone meals and six poultry by-product meals as sources of escape protein and to predict the first-limiting amino acid for growing calves. Escape protein values, determined by 12-h in situ incubation, ranged from 41.7 to 51.0% of CP for meat and bone meals; poultry by-product meals ranged from 32.0 to 39.8%. True pro...
