previous results indicated that performance of chicks fed a high level (10%) of poultry by-product meal(pbm) was lower than performance of chicks fed a corn-soybean meal (sbm) diet. the latter difference was hypothesized to be due to variation in digestible amino acid (aa) levels among the diets. this study evaluated diets containing pbm formulated on equivalent total aa basis vs. an equivalent...

This paper proposes a novel meshless boundary method called the singular boundary method (SBM). This method is mathematically simple, easy-to-program, and truly meshless. Like the method of fundamental solutions (MFS), the SBM employs the singular fundamental solution of the governing equation of interest as the interpolation basis function. However, unlike the MFS, the source and collocation p...

Three studies compared 98 children with spina bifida myelomeningocele (SBM)-a disorder associated with high rates of math disability and spatial deficits-to 94 typically developing children on multidigit subtraction and cognitive addition tasks. Children with SBM were classified into those with reading decoding and math disability, only math disability, and no reading or math disability. Study ...

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of source of dietary CP and level of ruminally protected lysine and methionine (RPLM) on feedlot performance and carcass characteristics of Holstein steers during a growing-finishing trial (266 d). A total of 168 Holstein steers (182.7 +/- 27.5 kg) were used in a completely randomized design experiment (eight treatments; three pens of sev...

The effects of supplementation with grass silage and replacement of some corn in the concentrate with soybean meal (SBM) on milk production, and milk fatty acid (FA) profiles were evaluated in a replicated 4 x 4 Latin square study using 16 dairy cows grazing pasture composed of ryegrass, Kentucky bluegrass, and white clover. Each experimental period lasted for 3 wk. The 4 dietary treatments wer...

An experiment was conducted to measure the effect of adding soybean oil to soybean meal (SBM) and soy protein concentrate (SPC) on apparent (AID) and standardized (SID) ileal digestibility of CP and AA by growing pigs. A second objective was to compare AID and SID of AA in a new high-protein variety of full fat soybeans (FFSB) to values obtained in other soybean products. Commercial sources of ...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the concurrent validity of the Smart Balance Master (SBM) tests in individuals with incomplete spinal cord injury. DESIGN Correlational study. SUBJECTS A total of 32 individuals with an American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale D spinal cord injury able to walk 10 m independently, with or without walking assistive devices. METH...

Maize and solvent extracted soybean meal (SBM) were ground through a 2 or 3 mm screen, resulting in “fine” and “coarse” material. The mean particle sizes of fine and coarse feed were 0.62 vs. 0.96 mm (maize) and 0.63 vs. 1.01 mm (SBM). Maize or SBM of either particle size was included in experimental diets at two different levels at the expense of maize starch. Three week old broilers had free ...

ranking of critical inputs was, for diet 1, SBM kd (r=-0.5), CS A fraction (r=-0.34), and dried corn kd (r=-0.25), for diet 2, SBM kd (r=-0.55), grass hay CP (r=0.32), and dried corn kd (r=-0.31). For the CNCPS, the ranking was, for diet 1, SBM kd of B2 pool (r=-0.5), dried corn kd (r=-0.26), and WB CP (r=0.26), for diet 2, SBM kd (r=-0.52), grass hay CP (r=0.36), and dried corn kd (r=-0.35). O...

An experiment was conducted to determine protein quality in processed protein sources using the content of AA, -methylisourea (OMIU)-reactive Lys, Maillard reaction products (MRP), and cross-link products; the standardized ileal digestibility (SID) of CP and AA; and growth performance in growing pigs as criteria. Differences in protein quality were created by secondary toasting (at 95°C for 30 ...
