The serum gastrin responses after ingestion of hard boiled eggs and Nutrient Broth solution were examined in peptic ulcer patients and normal subjects. The values observed of the serum gastrin response to these test meals were compared and contrasted. A significant enhancement of gastrin release in response to protein was obtained. There were no significant differences between the releases of g...

George R. Terry has aptly defined a principle as a fundamental statement or truth providing a guide to thought and action. Principles are formulated on the basis of past experiences of managers in related situations, through a process of recording mentally or in writing, the effects of decisions taken in the past. Although no two similar situations can be dealt with in exactly the same manner, ...

Bloodfed female Aedes aegypti were exposed to a surface treated with pyriproxyfen at 1.0 g m2 for 30 min and then allowed to lay eggs in cups of water containing 4th-instar larvae. Adult emergence from the immatures was highly inhibited, and transmission of pyriproxyfen from the females to the water was revealed. The transfer of the chemical to the water decreased with time before the blood mea...

OBJECTIVE The present study aimed to assess nutritional status, dietary diversity and lifestyle risk factors associated with undernutrition in an institutionalised Sri Lankan elderly population. DESIGN The study was of cross-sectional design followed by a stratified sampling method. SETTING Twelve homes for the elderly recruited from six provinces in Sri Lanka. SUBJECTS A total of 311 ins...

Many children's food products highlight positive attributes on their front-of-package labels in the form of nutrient claims. This cross-sectional study investigated all retailed packaged foods (n 5620) in a major Brazilian supermarket, in order to identify the availability of products targeted at children, and to compare the nutritional content of products with and without nutrient claims on la...

The keratinase-producing microbes can readily change the feather waste into more bioavailable peptides and amino acids. This study aimed to improve two-stage fermented meal-soybean meal product (TSFP) quality with five selected Bacillus strains Saccharomyces cerevisiae Y10, as well investigate effects of TSFP on growth performance, blood biochemistry, immunity nursery pigs. In trial 1, 100 hybr...

This study aims to assess the effect of replacing anchovy meal with chicken by-product (CBM) in juvenile abalone (Haliotis discus hannai) feed. Five diets were formulated contain 0 (CBM0), 25 (CBM25), 50 (CBM 50), 75 (CBM75), and 100% (CBM100) CBM replacement 24% fish (FM). Dried Saccharina japonica, which is natural food for this species was also prepared. Each diet fed triplicate groups abalo...

The inclusion of PepSoyGen (PSG), a commercially-available fermented soybean meal product, was evaluated with juvenile rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss in an initial 70-day feeding trial, with a supplemental trial involving a subset of the experimental diets continuing for an additional 40 d. Six diets containing 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, or 50% PSG, with the PSG directly replacing fish meal, w...

In situ degradabilities were determined for some commonly used grains and by-product feeds in dairy cattle rations. Ingredients evaluated were barley, shelled corn, soybean meal, brewers dried grains, corn gluten feed, distillers dried grains, soybean hulls, and wheat middlings. In situ studies were conducted in three rumen-fistulated Holstein cows. Cows were fed a total mixed Ž . rations conta...

Limited information is available on digestibility of nutrients in various practical ingredients used in diets for commercially important finfish species, such as hybrid striped bass. This information is especially needed for sunshine bass, Morone chrysops 3 M. saxatilis, to improve least-cost diet formulations and to allow effective substitution of feedstuffs. A study was conducted with large (...
