This experiment was conducted to determine the effect of chopping corn residue prior to baling on the nutrient composition of cornstalk bales. One dryland corn field planted with a single variety of corn was used. After harvest, one half of the field was chopped with a stalk chopper. The remaining half was not chopped. Each half of the field was then raked into windrows, baled, and wrapped with...

In total, 120 one-day-old female Ross 308 broilers were used to evaluate the effect of including oat hulls (OH), sugar beet pulp (SBP), and pea hulls (PH) at levels of 2.5, 5.0, and 7.5% in the diet on lipid metabolism of broilers from hatch to 21 d of age. The OH, SBP, and PH contained 0.7, 11.6, and 5.1% soluble fiber and 70.6, 47.4, and 49.6% insoluble fiber, respectively. The control diet c...

We investigated the influence of cryogenic grinding on quality rapeseed cake. Rapeseed cake is a good source valuable proteins (30%) and oil (14%), with balanced fatty acid composition fair amount sterols, which may reduce risk cardiovascular diseases. However, presence antinutritive compounds prevents its use as food source. Grinding under conditions much more efficient than at room temperatur...

Abstract Flowers are ubiquitous in primate environments, yet their nutritional advantages underexamined. Symphonia globulifera is a widely distributed tree exploited by variety of animals Africa and the Americas. We collected S. flower samples consumed red-tailed monkeys ( Cercopithecus ascanius ) compared them nutritionally to from other plant species Kibale National Park, Uganda. were assayed...

Twenty-four sows (12 nulliparous, 12 multiparous) were used to determine soluble fiber (SF) and insoluble fiber (ISF) effects on energy digestibility, N balance, and SF and ISF digestibility. Experimental diets included a corn-soybean meal control (C; 1.20% SF, 9.78% ISF), a 34% oat bran diet high in SF (HS; 3.02% SF, 10.11% ISF), a 12% wheat straw diet high in ISF (HIS; 1.11% SF, 17.86% ISF), ...

In this study, alkali dietary fiber extraction method was evaluated to obtain soluble and insoluble from Trigonella-foenum graecum L. (fenugreek) seeds. The process conditions of ensuring the highest total yield were investigated by response surface methodology. Furthermore, some physicochemical functional properties extracted fenugreek seeds such as water retention capacity, oil adsorption swe...

Diet has been implicated as a major factor impacting clinical disease expression of swine dysentery and Brachyspira hyodysenteriae colonization. However, the impact of diet on novel pathogenic strongly beta-hemolytic Brachyspira spp. including "B. hampsonii" has yet to be investigated. In recent years, distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS), a source of insoluble dietary fiber, has been i...

conclusions this work gained satisfactory results in developing a nutritionally fortified and palatably accepted papads using purslane leaves. background papads are cereal or legume based preserved products rich in proteins. they are consumed after deep fat frying as a side dish in india. in the present work, the traditional savoury was chosen for value addition with green leafy vegetables i.e....

To examine the association of dietary fiber with the risk of colorectal cancer in a population with a high incidence of cancer and a low fiber intake, we analyzed the data from the Japan Collaborative Cohort Study. From 1988 to 1990, 43,115 men and women aged 40 to 79 years completed a questionnaire on dietary and other factors. Intake of dietary fiber was estimated using a food frequency quest...
