Camel calves’ in pastoral production system are constrained by limited milk feeding. Their survival is important for camel herd growth and availability the keepers. A seventy (70) days feeding trial was conducted to determine nutritive value, dry matter intake, weight gain, feed conversion ratio (FCR), apparent digestibility coefficients 15 growing calves with a body of 102.3 ±1.3 Kg (mean ± SE...

characterized by intra-gonadal nutrient storage and its use for gametogenesis (Walker et al., 2001). Sea urchin gonads contain two main types of cells: germ cells and nutritive phagocytes, somatic cells common in both sexes that store nutrients necessary for gametogenesis (Walker, 1982). Before the initiation of gametogenesis, the gonads increase in size by accumulating nutrients such as protei...

Henry, Kosterlitz & Quenouille (1953) have described a method of determining the nutritive value of a protein by the effect it has on the quantity of protein in the liver of the rat. They found that the liver nitrogen, expressed as mg/Ioo g body-weight, was correlated with the biological value of the dietary protein and with the amount of protein eaten. When the proteins were tabulated accordin...

It is the position of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics that consumers can safely enjoy a range of nutritive sweeteners and nonnutritive sweeteners (NNS) when consumed within an eating plan that is guided by current federal nutrition recommendations, such as the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the Dietary Reference Intakes, as well as individual health goals and personal preference. A...

this research was assigned to study the top crop yield potential and nutritive value of jerusalem artichoke (helianthus tuberosus), using a completely randomized designed with three treatments and four replications. the forage was cut at three growing stages where plant high, fresh and dry forage yield and leave/steam ratio were recorded. first and second cut were made when the plant heights we...

In the commercial dehydration of raw Kquid skim milk the immediate practical objective is the production of a dry powder that may be conveniently stored and readily transported. The agency of dehydration is heat. In the merchandising of these powders emphasis is placed upon their high nutritive value, particularly as sources of protein, of calcium, and of vitamin G. It is commonly, if tacitly, ...

The nutritive value of isonitrogenous and isoenergetic levels of these processed beans, raw NB-SOY and NB-SOY extruded at 121, 135 or 157OC was assessed by pig growth assay. The raw NB-SOY diet caused severe scouring and was fed only for two weeks. Growth rate and feed conversion of pigs fed extruded NB-SOY improved as the extrusion temperature increased to 135OC but declined with higher temper...

Trace elements are a major area of nutritional status which influence brain functioning and behavior. Recent studies have found significantly abnormal levels of trace nutritive minerals and trace toxic metals in the head hair of children from disadvantaged backgrounds. Utilizing hair element analysis, this study examined 26 trace elements in two groups of young Appalachian children: an economic...
