Data were collected on 130 intact male lambs fed diets based on roughages supplemented with fish meal, soybean meal, or corn gluten-blood meal and slaughtered at 43 kg live weight. A nonsupplemented group served as a control. The lambs represented Romanov (R), Finnsheep (F), a new breed developed in Canada (DLS), Coopworth (C), and Suffolk (S), three first crosses of DLS with R, F, and Booroola...

Corn distillers grains (CDG) and corn gluten feed (CGF) are the major corn coproducts fed to cattle. Both CDG and CGF can be fed wet or dried with animal performance usually similar when fed wet or dried products; however, some research results favored the wet products. Cattle diets can contain CDG or CGF as replacements for portions of both concentrates and forages. Distillers grains is a very...

An experiment was conducted to determine a best fitting dietary fiber (DF) component to estimate the effect of DF concentration on the digestibility of energy, DF, and AA and energy value of 9 corn coproducts: corn bran (37.0% total nonstarch polysaccharides [NSP]); corn bran with solubles (17.1% NSP); cooked corn distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS; 20.4% NSP); reduced oil DDGS (25.0% ...

Background and aims: To elucidate the dynamics of nitric oxide (NO) production induced by rectal gluten challenge and the relation between NO production and mucosal granulocyte activation. Subjects and methods: Release of rectal NO was measured in 13 patients with coeliac disease and in 18 controls before and after rectal wheat gluten challenge. Rectal gas was collected with a rectal balloon us...

Recently, peptides with opioid-like activity have been demonstrated in peptic digests of dietary protein. The present study was designed to determine the effect of digested and undigested gluten on postprandial insulin and glucagon levels in conscious dogs. The intragastric instillation of digested gluten (25 g) elicited a more rapid and a significantly greater rise in postprandial peripheral v...

A three-step in vitro procedure was developed to estimate intestinal digestion of proteins in ruminants. Dacron bags containing feed samples were suspended in the rumen for 16 h. Residue containing 15 mg of N after ruminal exposure was incubated for 1 h in 10 mL of a .1 N HCl solution containing 1 g/L of pepsin. After incubation, pH was neutralized with .5 mL of 1 N NaOH and 13.5 mL of a pH 7.8...

Eight dual-flow continuous-culture fermenters were used in four replicated periods to compare the effects of diet and microbial marker on estimates of N metabolism in continuous culture of ruminal microorganisms. A basal diet was supplemented with urea and tryptone, soybean meal (SBM), lignosulfonate-treated SBM, corn gluten meal, blood meal (BM), hydrolyzed feather meal, fish meal (FM), or mea...
