While corn contains only limited quantities of crude protein and amino acids, corn by-products often contain crude protein and amino acids in appreciable amounts. The reason for this difference is that corn by-products are often produced after processing that primarily removes the nitrogen-free extracts (i.e., the starch) from the corn kernel. Because starch is approximately 70% of the total co...

Phytate or phytic acid (PA), is a phosphorus (P) containing compound generated by the stepwise phosphorylation of myo-inositol. It forms complexes with some nutrient cations, such as Ca, Fe and Zn, compromising their absorption thus acting an anti-nutrient in digestive tract humans monogastric animals. Conversely, PAs are important form P storage seeds, making up to 90% total seed P. Phytates a...

The human health aspects of dietary fatty acids have been in the focus of nutritional studies. Several experiments have revealed that dietary conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) has anticancer activity, antiartherogenic effects, reduces body fat gain and enhances immune responses (PARIZA et al., 2000). The term CLA refers to a group of positional and geometric isomers of linoleic acid. The cis-9, tr...

BACKGROUND Phytate is an anti-nutritional factor in plants, which catches the most phosphorus contents and some vital minerals. Therefore, Phytase is added mainly as an additive to the monogastric animals' foods to hydrolyze phytate and increase absorption of phosphorus. OBJECTIVES Y. intermedia phytase is a new phytase with special characteristics such as high specific activity, pH stability...

Phytases are enzymes used as an important component in monogastric animals feeds in order to improve phosphorous availability, since it is not readily assimilated by these animals in the form of the phytate presented in plants and grains. As these enzymes are used in industrial activities, they must retain its catalytic activities during a certain storage period. This study presents information...

As the global population rises, agriculture and industry are under increasing pressure to become more sustainable in meeting this growing demand, while minimizing impacts on emissions, land use change, biodiversity. The development of efficient symbiotic local bioeconomies can help respond challenge by using land, resources, side streams ways tailored needs different regions. Green biorefinerie...

The development of sustainable feed ingredients for monogastric livestock is nowadays considering insect meals and oils to replace or supplement conventional feedstuffs. Although the regulation on use products differs among countries resulting in restrictions diets meat producers, global research exploring all strengths weaknesses their inclusion. Therefore, whereas scientific literature has ex...

Demands for higher production and consumer demand healthier food have encouraged intensive research alternative animal growth promoters in recent years. Research trends are focused on the development of new products enriched with feed additives to improve health enhancing production. Many these compounds unstable presence light, air, water, or high temperatures need be protected during processi...

Introduction Some effects of 13adrenoceptor agonists on gastrointestinal motility have been investigated in monogastric species (Burks, 1987). Several side effects of /3-blockers are mediated through the central nervous system which is involved in the control of gastrointestinal motility. This study was undertaken to determine the central and peripheral actions of /3!and P2agonists on forestoma...
