The purpose of this study was to determine effects of feeding canola and soybean products as protein supplements on fatty acid composition of adipose tissue and muscle of slaughter bulls and steers and on fatty acid composition of kidney and liver total lipids of bulls. Products included canola meal (CM), extruded canola (EC, full-fat), ground canola (GC, full-fat), soybean meal (SBM), and extr...

The effects of dietary lipid and carbohydrate, and their interaction, on growth performance and body composition of juvenileblunt snout bream Megalobrama amblycephala were investigated. Fish were fed one of eight isonitrogenous (32% crude protein) diets containing 4% or 7% lipids and 25%, 30%, 35%, or 40% carbohydrate for nine weeks. Weight gain, feed conversion ratio, protein efficiency ratio,...

the study was conducted to evaluate the effects of feeding varying levels of ficus sycomorus leaf forages as protein supplements to a basal diet of urea treated maize stover. four yankasa goats averaging one year and weighing 11.7±1.8 kg were used to measure the feed intake, digestibility and nitrogen balance. the basal diet (urea treated maize stover) was supplemented with 0 (t1), 50 (t2), 100...

The immune and intestinal epithelial cells are particularly sensitive to the toxic effects of deoxynivalenol (DON). The aim of this experiment was to study the effects of DON and/or a microbial feed additive on the DNA damage of blood lymphocytes and on the level of thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) as an indicator of lipid peroxidation and oxidative stress in broilers. A total of ...

—We examined effects of incubation mate feeding on female incubation behavior and correlates of fitness by providing female Bewick’s Wrens (Thryomanes bewickii) and House Wrens (Troglodytes aedon) with food supplements. Males of these species vary in their rates of feeding; Bewick’s Wrens feed their incubating mates frequently, whereas House Wrens seldom engage in this behavior. Average length ...

Garlic is widely distributed and used in all parts of the world as a spice and herbal remedy for various ailments, including its role in diabetes, blood coagulation, metabolism and immune functions. But there are scanty reports regarding its effect on lipid profile in poultry. The study was conducted on 24 broiler chicks divided randomly into 3 groups, each group consisting of 8 birds. Group I ...

INTRODUCTION The use of nutritional supplements is prevalent among physical exercise practitioners and some adverse effects have been reported, however not sufficiently substantial, because they originate from isolated cases. OBJECTIVES Investigate nutritional supplements consumption prevalence and adverse effects of the use of such products. METHODS An epidemiological, representative and t...

Dietary factors that influence lipid levels include modification of nutritional components, consumption of specific foods, use of food additives and supplements, and major dietary approaches. The most beneficial changes result from reducing intake of saturated and trans fats; increasing intake of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats; fortifying foods with plant stanols or sterols; isocalori...
