Coefficients of ileal apparent digestibility (CIAD) for crude protein (CP) and amino acids in five protein feedstuffs: corn distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS), raw full-fat soybean (RFFSB), extruded full fat soybean (EFFSB), soybean meal (SBM), and rapeseed meal (RSM) were determined using 5-week-old male broiler chickens. Trypsin activity in digesta in the ileum and jejunum were also...

Our objective was to evaluate the effects of substituting feather meal (FM) for soybean meal (SBM) on ruminal fiber fermentation, lamb gain, blood metabolite profiles, and wool growth. A SBM supplement was formulated, and FM replaced either 33% (33FM), 66% (66FM), or 100% (FMS) of the SBM protein. Four ruminally cannulated wethers were used in a 4 x 4 Latin square design to study in situ rumina...

an experiment employing a factorial arrangement of three levels (0, 8 and 16%) of canola meal (cm), two levels (0.15 and 0.25%) of nonphytate phosphorus (npp), and two levels (0 and 450 unit/kg; as fed basis) of microbial phytase was conducted using 216 hy-line w36 laying hens from 39 to 47 weeks of age. the birds receiving cm consumed more (p < 0.05) feed than birds receiving corn-soybean meal...

Spina bifida myelomeningocele (SBM) is a neural tube defect that has been related to deficits in several cognitive domains including attention. Attention function in children with SBM has often been studied using tasks that are confounded by complex motor demands or tasks that do not clearly distinguish perceptual from response-related components of attention. We used a verbal-report paradigm b...

Three experiments were conducted to evaluate the efficacy of replacing corn and dried whey with corn gluten meal (CGM) and lactose, and to evaluate two sources of edible-grade dried whey that elicited different postweaning pig growth performances. In Exp. 1, two corn-soybean meal (C-SBM) diets without or with 20% dried whey (C-SBM-DW) were formulated to contain 1.15% lysine. A third diet replac...

Several studies have shown that children with spina bifida meningomyelocele (SBM) and hydrocephalus have attention problems on parent ratings and difficulties in stimulus orienting associated with a posterior brain attention system. Less is known about response control and inhibition associated with an anterior brain attention system. Using the Gordon Vigilance Task (Gordon, 1983), we studied e...

Spina bifida myelomeningocele (SBM) is a specific type of neural tube defect whereby the open neural tube at the level of the spinal cord alters brain development during early stages of gestation. Some structural anomalies are virtually unique to individuals with SBM, including a complex pattern of cerebellar dysplasia known as the Chiari II malformation. Other structural anomalies are not nece...

This study investigated the nutritional quality of soybean meal (SBM) fermented by Aspergillus (FSBMA) and/or followed by Lactobacillus fermentation (FSBMA+L). Both fermented products significantly improved protein utilization of SBM with higher trichloroacetic acid (TCA) soluble true protein content, in vitro protein digestibility and available lysine content, especially in FSBMA+L. Moreover, ...

Patients with chronic pain often show disturbances in their body perception. Understanding the exact role played by pain is however complex, as confounding factors can contribute to the observed deficits in these clinical populations. To address this question, acute experimental pain was used to test the effect of lateralized pain on body perception in healthy subjects. Subjects were asked to i...

PURPOSE Previous studies have shown atlas-based segmentation using a single best matched (SBM) atlas subject can significantly reduce contouring time. A new multi-atlas approach has been shown to provide greater accuracy than SBM for cancer of the head and neck. The goal of this study was to evaluate the multi-atlas technique for lung cancer treatment planning. METHODS An institution's SBRT l...
