1. Groups of chicks were given a low-residue diet with or without supplements of dietary fibre in the form of wheat bran, wheat straw or bagasse. Growth and food conversion efficiency (g weight gained/g food eaten; FCE) during the first 4 weeks of life were measured. 2. In every one of seven experiments supplementation of the diet with 100 g wheat bran/kg resulted in improved growth, and in thr...

the current study was conducted to survey the influences of addition of alfalfa meal (am), rice bran (rb) and wood shaving (ws) in wheat-based diets [contain soluble non starch polysaccharides (nsp)] on performance carcass characteristic and serum lipids of broilers from 11 to 42 d of age. seven hundreds 10-d-old male ross 308 chicks were placed into 35 pens and allocated to seven wheat-soybean...

ABSTRACT: Mayonnaise is probably one of the most widely used sauces worldwide. The oil content of traditionally mayonnaise is more than 65%. Fat has a role in creating viscosity, color and texture but might cause many diseases and disorders in human. In this study the influence of modified wheat bran as a fat replacer on the rheological properties of low fat mayonnaise was studied and compared ...

This experiment aimed to evaluate the ruminal degradability in situ of the dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP), neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and acid detergent fiber (ADF) of Guinea grass silages. The experimental design was completely randomized with six treatments and six repetitions: Guinea grass silage, Guinea grass silage inoculated with 10% wheat bran, Guinea grass silage inoculated with...

BACKGROUND Epidemiological studies show inverse relationship between intake of wholegrain cereals and several chronic diseases. Components and mechanisms behind possible protective effects of wholegrain cereals are poorly understood. OBJECTIVE To characterise commercial rye bran preparations, compared to wheat bran, regarding structure and content of nutrients as well as a number of presumabl...

1. The present work with growing rats was undertaken to study the effect of protein quality, gastrointestinal microbial activity and the level of nitrogen intake on protein utilization and energy digestibility. The experiment involved a total of thirty-six dietary treatments in a 9 x 4 factorial design, with five rats per treatment. The thirty-six diets resulted from nine protein sources. Each ...

Wheat, rice, and corn are the most widely eaten whole grains, followed by oats, rye, and barley. A wheat kernel consists of 80–85% endosperm, 10–14% bran, and 2.5–3% germ (Figure 1). Whole grains contain a high amount of bioactive substances such as fiber, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other phytochemicals such as betaine, choline, sulfur amino acids, and melatonin, which account for at...

We have shown that PBHs can be formed in the matter-dominated era if gravity is described by Brans-Dicke theory. Considering an early matterdominated era in between inflation and reheating, we found that the PBHs which are formed during this era lives longer than the standard case where PBHs are formed in early radiation-dominated era. Thus in comparison with stanard scenario more number of PBH...

The objectives of the present study were isolation, identification and characterization of xylanase producing fungi, optimization of medium composition and cultural conditions for xylanase enzyme production using cheaper sources. The fungal strains were isolated from garden soil by serial dilution technique and Aspergillus niger was identified and isolated in pure form. In conformation screenin...
