The objective of this study was to estimate the protein degradability parameters of 6 common ruminant feedstuff using the nylon bags (in situ) and the innovative in vitro method-the DaisyII incubator. Significant differences were observed between the in situ and in vitro methods in estimation of the rapidly soluble (a) fraction (Pin vitro method were highly correlated with the estimated values ...

In the next decades, forage legumes are likely to become more important. However, predicted climate change may increase the risk of droughts and thus influence their agricultural performance. Decreases in yield due to water shortage are well documented, while influences on nutritive values are inconsistent. Therefore, we examined the effects of drought on crude protein (CP), neutral deterge...

1. The pepsin hydrolytic products of the pure proteins, crystalline egg albumin, crystalline edestin, and purified fibrin, are utilized by fibroblasts for their proliferation. It appears, therefore, that the growth of fibroblasts in fibrin digests and in the proteose of Witte's peptone is due to the split products of the protein itself and not to accompanying cellular constituents or other impu...

The study focused on the development and marketability of corn banana flour nutri-bun using flour, peel flesh blossom which can be readily found in locality. This product research included four major phases; (1) nutri-bun, (2) Determination nutri-bun’s nutritive value, (3) determination level acceptability (4) nutri-bun. finished products terms appearance/color, aroma, taste texture was determi...

characterized by intra-gonadal nutrient storage and its use for gametogenesis (Walker et al., 2001). Sea urchin gonads contain two main types of cells: germ cells and nutritive phagocytes, somatic cells common in both sexes that store nutrients necessary for gametogenesis (Walker, 1982). Before the initiation of gametogenesis, the gonads increase in size by accumulating nutrients such as protei...

Henry, Kosterlitz & Quenouille (1953) have described a method of determining the nutritive value of a protein by the effect it has on the quantity of protein in the liver of the rat. They found that the liver nitrogen, expressed as mg/Ioo g body-weight, was correlated with the biological value of the dietary protein and with the amount of protein eaten. When the proteins were tabulated accordin...
