The purpose of the present study was to determine if the inclusion of whole-grain wheat or wheat bran in the diet or the addition of Zn to the diet affects the absorption and accumulation of Cd. Five groups of six rats each were fed deionized water and one of five diets composed of one part basic diet and one part wheat crispbread for 6 weeks. The accumulation of Cd in the liver and kidneys was...

rumen cannula were fed 2 equal meals per day: wheat straw (475 and 95 g, respectively) and a mixture containing 59% olive hard crust, 40% wheat bran and 1 % NaCl (4.2 and 1.5 kg). In vitro degradation (table I) of the less digestible substrates was higher in camels than in sheep. In sacco degradation, corrected for microbial contamination, confirmed this result. In sacco degradation of soya bea...

Crude fibers (CF) take a special place in the growing rabbit`s nutrition. In depend on their origin and composition, CF have digestibility 1725% in the roughages and up to 40-50% in the green and concentrate feeds. They are very important in the regulation of the processes of both digestibility and bacterial synthesis. The optimal CF quantity for growing rabbits is 12-15%. Alfalfa hay is prefer...

The DE values and digestible nutrients content of 6 diets were measured in 60-kg male growing pigs fed restricted amount of feed. Diets were prepared from 5 ingredients [wheat (Triticum aestivum), corn (Zea mays), barley (Hordeum vulgare), wheat bran, and soybean (Glycine max) meal; inclusion levels of ingredients were not correlated] with or without carbohydrose enzyme (Rovabio Excel AP; 3300 ...

BACKGROUND Rye bread benefits glucose metabolism. It is unknown whether the same effect is achieved by rye bran-enriched wheat bread. We tested whether white wheat bread enriched with bioprocessed rye bran (BRB + WW) and sourdough wholegrain rye bread (WGR) have similar effects on glucose metabolism and plasma level of short chain fatty acids (SCFAs). METHODS Twenty-one (12 women) of 23 recru...

Results A 28 year-old female with a history of persistent allergic rhinitis and Arterial Tortuosity Syndrome had two episodes of anaphylaxis following a meal. In each instance she had ingested food cooked in batter. Skin prick tests to all foods ingested during the meals, including commercial wheat extract, were negative. Skin prick testing to wheat flour, white flour, the uncooked batter in qu...

Symptom scores, stool data, and the transit of a standard, solid meal were measured in 25 patients with irritable bowel syndrome during baseline conditions and after four weeks treatment with placebo and domperidone in the form of a double-blind cross-over trial. All patients had previously undergone a comprehensive series of diagnostic investigations and had failed to respond to dietary supple...

Bacterial cultures of bacillus species capable of producing bacitracin were isolated from local habitats (garden soil, timber yard soil and sea water) and screened for the production of bacitracin on nutrient media against test organisms viz: Micrococcus luteus,(ATCC 9341) & Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 13565).Optimization of culture conditions and media composition for bacitracin production was...

background: in recent years, many studies have been conducted on finding a suitable replacement for fish meal to supply the needs of aquaculture feed industry. objectives: the present study was performed to examine the effect of replacing fish meal and fish oil with plant sources on bacterial counts in intestinal contents and mucus and bacterial composition in beluga sturgeon. methods: beluga s...
