Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models are powerful tools to predict tissue distribution and depletion of veterinary drugs in food animals. However, most models only simulate the pharmacokinetics of the parent drug without considering their metabolites. In this study, a PBPK model was developed to simultaneously describe the depletion in pigs of the food animal antimicrobial agent ...

Samples of food crops (peanut, peeled pistachio, unpeeled pistachio, rice, and corn) and feed (barley, bran, corn) were autoclave-sterilized, and inoculated with 10(6) of spore suspension of an isolate of Aspergillus flavus fungus known to produce aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) . Following a 10-day period of incubation at 27 C to allow for fungal growth, food and feed samples were irradiated with gamma ra...

proper feeding is necessary to have appropriate growth, health and also to increase resistance to inappropriate condition such as stressors and diseases. therefore mineral and vitamin supplements are added to fish diet to improve its growth and health. food supplements have different roles in diet. these cause better food metabolism, higher hardness and strength of bones, better ionic exchanges...

Fish wastes management has become a global problem from the last years. Dispose of seafood wastes cause environmental pollution. To overcome this issue these unwanted seafood products are used for the formation of animal feed and aquaculture feed. These unwanted products include small fish and those parts of fish which are not used as human food. These unwanted parts include viscera, head, fins...

BACKGROUND There is little information about meal patterns and food consumption of adolescents in Palestine. The objective of this study was to describe the association between sociodemographic factors and food intake, and meal patterns among Palestinian school adolescents (12-15 year) in North Gaza Strip. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2002 comprising 944 subjects in 10 sch...

probiotics have shown beneficial effects on growth parameters of various food animals. in this research, the growth promoting effects of a multi-strain probiotic was investigated on common carp (cyprinus carpio). accordingly, 200 fish (6-7g) were randomly allocated to 4 experimental groups. the first group received placebo and was served as the negative control. the second group received the pr...

Mycotoxins are secondary fungal metabolites associated with adverse human health and animal productivity consequences.[...].

1 Mycotoxin patulin Mycotoxins are low-molecular-weight toxic chemical compounds with low volatility, representing secondary metabolites produced by certain filamentous fungi that colonize crops, in the field or post-harvest, capable of causing disease and death in humans and animals through the ingestion of contaminated food products (Cunha et al., 2014). Contamination of food and agricultural...

FAO has considered insects as food since 2003 [1] and is promoting consumption of insects (entomophagy) in the Western world because of the possibilities for sustainable production it offers. Insects as food are considered to leave smaller ecological footprints than conventional livestock (beef, pigs, and poultry) regarding feed, land and water needs, as well as greenhouse gas and ammonia emiss...
