a study was conducted to evaluate efficacyof wheat based vs. corn based diets on growth performance, carcass traits,blood parameters, jejunum morphological development, immunity, cecal microflora and excreta moisture in broiler chicks fed according to digestible essential amino acid profile. one hundred forty day old ross 308 male broiler chicks randomly distributed into ten separated floor pen...

arginine (arg) requirements of male broilers (ross 308) reared at high altitude (2100 mabove sea level) during the 1-to 3-week period was estimated in a graded supplementationmethod, in which six diets (230 g kg-1 cp and 3200 kcal me kg-1) with arg increments of1.25 g kg-1 were applied to four pens of fifteen birds each. dietary arg content of theexperimental groups ranged from 10 g kg-1 (80% o...

brachystegia eurycoma is predominantly grown in the eastern region of nigeria. its seed is used in food majorly as a soup condiment, flavouring agent and soup thickener. the proximate, mineral and amino acid compositions were determined on raw and processed seeds (boiled, fermented and roasted) using standard analytical techniques. the processing methods showed deviations in nutrients from the ...

in recent years considerable interest has been focused on the plasma amino acid patterns as a possible index of protein malnutrition, in children. thus a change in the ratio of non-essential to essential amino acids is considered to be significant in the development of protein malnutrition. the present paper reports a simplified and rapid chromatographic procedure for the determination of this ...

an experiment was conducted to reevaluate the digestible lysine requirement of arian male broilers by comparing the performance of chicks fed different levels of cottonseed meal (csm) on a total amino acid (aa) versus a digestible aa basis. four hundred and thirty two (432) arian male broiler chicks were allotted to 18 treatments with four repli-cates of six chicks each in a completely randomiz...

objective(s) motility plays a major role in pathogenicity of helicobacter pylori, yet there is  scarce data regarding its chemotactic behaviour. the present study was designed to investigate the chemotactic responses of local isolates of h. pylori towards various sugars, amino acids, as well as some other chemical substances. materials and methods chemotaxis was assayed by a modified adler’s me...

addition of potassium cyanide to a mixture of schiff base and lithium perchlorate afforded a-aminonitriles in high yields. addition of potassium cyanide to a methanolic solution of schiff base and phosphoric acid afforded a-aminonitriles. when the reaction mixture was refluxed it gave a-amino acids in high yields.

caviar is one of the valuable and most popular fish products all over the world that are obtained from sturgeons. nowadays, the wild resources of these fishes are diminished, therefore, to meet the demand for the product, farming sturgeons has been considered. the chemical composition and the amino acids profiles of the wild and farmed roe obtained from beluga (huso huso) were compared and the ...

an experiment was conducted to determine the dietary digestible lysine requirement of male and female broiler chickens (arian) during the period from 6 to 21 days post-hatching. an amino acid-fortified basal diet containing corn and soybean meal as intact protein sources provided 20 % cp, and 3200 kcal amen / kg. in this experiment 150 male and 150 female chicks were allocated on the basis of b...
