Stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes were used to obtain estimates of the contribution of natural and supplemental feeds to the nutrition of Oreochromis niloticus in ponds (free-swimming or caged) receiving different inputs in Sagana, Kenya. Three dietary treatments were employed in the pond study: 1) the test diet; 2) a pig finisher diet; and 3) a rice bran diet. Feeding rates and fertilization...

Using 351 one-day weighted diet records, we selected foods providing vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber according to contribution analysis (CA) and multiple regression analysis (MRA). Vitamin C was supplied by various vegetables and fruits, and carotene was specifically derived from green-yellow vegetables based on MRA as well as CA. Vitamin A was provided by green-yellow vegetables, fruits, ...

This is a cross-sectional study. The data from the Korean Multi-Rural Communities Cohort Study was used. Participants included 765 participants aged 60 years and over. A quantitative food frequen...

BACKGROUND Right ventricular apical (RVA) pacing creates abnormal left ventricular contraction, hypertrophy, and reduced pump function. The adverse effects of ventricular desynchronization may explain the association of RVA pacing with an increased risk of heart failure hospitalization (HFH) in clinical trials. METHODS AND RESULTS Baseline and postimplantation variables were used to predict H...

SIDR had great impact on crop, livestock and fisheries at Pirojpur district in Barisal Division. To perform this study data were collected from the three selected village (south Shailkati, Hothkhali and Lahori) affected people by random sampling after selecting the study topic and area.

Apparent amino acid availability coefficients of several typical and novel feed ingredients were determined in rainbow trout using extruded diets and the faecal stripping technique. The ingredients were tested included five fish meals, three terrestrial animal by-products, five plant protein concentrates, four plant meals, and seven low-protein plant ingredients. Amino acid availability from th...

Rice–fish co-cultures have been practiced for over 2000 years, and they tremendous potential in terms of increasing food security economic benefits. However, little research has conducted into achieving stable yields high lodging resistance with regard to rice while simultaneously promoting the harmonious healthy growth fish rice–fish co-culture paddy fields. We a field study aimed at selecting...
