Stable isotope signatures of both human and non-human animal bone samples indicate that Neolithic farmers of the Yellow and Wei River basins in China potentially cultivated millet for two reasons: as a staple for human consumption and as fodder for domesticated animals, specifically pigs, dogs, and perhaps chicken. Bone samples were analyzed from four Neolithic sites: Jiangzhai, Shijia, Xipo, a...

Madre de Agua (Trichantera gigantean Nees) is forage and considered a Multiple Purpose Tree Species used for ruminants poultry animals with good potential source of protein contain amino acid. Few studies were conducted in terms the agronomic characteristics prior to utilization as feeds most mainly feed monogastric animals. The study intends produce data planted produces shaded portion upland ...

Euglycemic, hyperinsulinemic clamp tests have shown that adult ruminants are less insulin-sensitive than monogastric omnivores. The present study was carried out to elucidate possible cellular mechanisms contributing to this impaired insulin sensitivity of ruminants. Western blotting was used to measure glucose transporters 1 and 4 (GLUT1, GLUT4) in oxidative (musculus masseter and diaphragm) a...

I NSULIN is essential for the normal metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins in the monogastric animal (Tepperman, 1968) ; however, its role in the normal metabolism of ruminants is poorly understood. Since alloxan-induced diabetes produced a similar response in ruminant and nonruminant animals (Reid, Hinks and Mills, 1963; Jarret, 1946) and depancreatized sheep behaved similarly to al...

Abstract Probiotics are known to stabilize the microbiome especially in monogastric animals. Limited information is available on potential effect rumen microbiome. Feedlot cattle fed high concentrate diets which may result subclinical and clinical acidosis due dysbiosis. This can negatively affect production lead morbidities death. The alpha diversity of a population ratio Proteobacteria toward...

The challenge to those seeking to discover ways to enhance growth of meat animals is established by the needs of the producer and the demands of consumers. In meat animal production, feed grains represent the single largest cost. Thus, a producer will adopt a production method or purchase a growth improver if it results in improved feed efficiency and therefore profits. But, in the United State...

The Biotronic® Top3 (OCAP: organic acids, cinnamaldehyde, and permeabilising complex) is used for improving microbial community in monogastric animals. This research was aimed to test the five dosages of OCAP (0%: control, 0.05%: OCAP0.05, 0.10%: OCAP0.1, 0.15%: OCAP0.15%, 0.20%: OCAP0.2) barramundi (Lates calcarifer) (8.3 ± 0.3 g) eight weeks. results showed a linear relation between level gro...

Modern feed quality sorghum grain has been bred to reduce anti-nutrients, most conspicuously condensed tannins, but its inclusion in the diets of monogastric animals can still result variable performance that is only partially understood. Sorghum contains several negative intrinsic factors, including non-tannin phenolics and polyphenols, phytate, kafirin protein, which may be responsible for th...

I . Experiments are described in which the food intake and the water intake of sheep at a single meal were measured. The sheep were offered lucerne chaff ad lib. for z h only each day. 2. Following the peritoneal infusion of physiological saline the food intake increased, while the injection of a diuretic before feeding caused the food intake to be decreased. 3. In eight experiments the osmolal...
