scales of diets in use in the jails of the Province of Bengal, with the optional or permissive alterations sanctioned by the Jail Code. These scales of diet have been in force since the year 1881, and are reproduced with slight variations in the revised Jail Code. In all thirty-two variations of diet are here given, and their respective chemical values calculated both in terms of nitrogen and c...

It is obvious that the nutritive value of a protein or mixture of proteins for any biological function or combination of functions is limited by the relative proportions of the essential amino acids contained in it; i.e., those amino acids that cannot be synthesized by the animal at a sufficiently rapid rate from any substances present in the usual diets. But it is not so clear that the amino a...

to evaluate the nutritive value in some lignocellulosic materials, 3 sets of experiments were conducted on aspen, and grape woods. to enhance the digestibility, the woods were treated with 5% naoh. throughout the first trial, chemical composition and digestibility coefficients of dry matter, organic matter and ndf of experimental feeds, ph of rumen, as well as palatability were evaluated while ...

INTRODUCTION The impact of non-nutritive sweeteners (NNS) on energy intake and body weight is not clear although they provide no energy compared to sucrose. OBJECTIVE To establish if there are differences in the consumption of NNS as per the nutritional status and its association with overweight. POPULATION, MATERIAL AND METHODS Cross-sectional study including 571 male and female students a...

Increased interest among consumers in the reduction of dietary sugar intake has led to the wider availability of food products containing non-nutritive sweeteners (NNS). However, the extent to which NNS are currently being used by manufacturers to sweeten processed food and beverage products, and how NNS may be displacing added sugars as a sweetener is unknown. The current study utilized brande...

Compared to simple sugars, complex carbohydrates have been assumed invisible to taste. However, two recent studies proposed that there may be a perceivable taste quality elicited by complex carbohydrates independent of sweet taste. There is precedent with behavioural studies demonstrating that rats are very attracted to complex carbohydrates, and that complex carbohydrates are preferred to simp...

This study was conducted to assess the effects of microbial and chemical combo additives on nutritive values, fermentation indices and aerobic stability of whole crop barley silage. Barley forage (Youngyang) was harvested at about 30% dry matter (DM) by treatments, chopped to 5 cm length and treated with distilled water only (CON), Lactobacillus plantarum (INO), propionic acid (PRO) or an equal...
