Organoarsenical drugs are widely used in the production of broiler chickens in the United States. Feathers from these chickens are processed into a meal product that is used as an animal feed additive and as an organic fertilizer. Research conducted to date suggests that arsenical drugs, specifically roxarsone, used in poultry production result in the accumulation of arsenic in the keratinous m...

Canola production in Australia has increased dramatically leading to an increase in canola meal. Limits have been placed on the intake of canola meal as an animal feed due to its high levels of anti-nutritional components. Sinapine, one such component, is the major phenolic compound found in canola meal. Previous studies have suggested that sinapine concentrations may be lowered through a breed...

Animal data suggest that dietary fat composition may influence endocannabinoid (EC) response and dietary behavior. This study tested the hypothesis that fatty acid composition of a meal can influence the short-term response of ECs and subsequent energy intake in humans. Fifteen volunteers on three occasions were randomly offered a meal containing 30 g of bread and 30 mL of one of three selected...

At present, canola meal is primarily streamlined into the animal feed market where it is a competitive animal feed source owing to its high protein value. Beyond animal feed lies a potential game-changer with regards to the value of canola meal, and its opportunity as a high quality food protein source. An economic and sustainable source of protein with high bioavailability and digestibility is...

Common pleco is a wild fish whose habitat occupies lot of reservoir areas and public waters in Indonesia. The amount abundant not consumed by humans, great potential to be used as source animal protein feed. purpose this study was evaluate the digestibility common meal artificial feed for nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus.) carried out at Aquaculture Laboratory Hatchery, Faculty Fisheries Mar...

Guanidino acetic acid (GAA) is naturally occurring in animal tissues playing a major role in the energy metabolism as a precursor of creatine. The objective of the study was to examine potential effects of GAA (CreAMINOTM) supplementation in purely vegetable diets compared to a positive control. Therefore a total of 780 male ROSS 308 broiler chickens were assigned to one of the following three ...
