Animal proteins are commonly used in extruded dog foods. Plant-based proteins have a more consistent nutrient profile than animal sources but may contain antinutritional factors, including trypsin inhibitors and oligosaccharides. Bioprocessed soy protein (SP; HP-300; Hamlet Protein, Inc., Findlay, OH) is a processed soy-based product with low antinutritional factor concentrations and high prote...

previous results indicated that performance of chicks fed a high level (10%) of poultry by-product meal(pbm) was lower than performance of chicks fed a corn-soybean meal (sbm) diet. the latter difference was hypothesized to be due to variation in digestible amino acid (aa) levels among the diets. this study evaluated diets containing pbm formulated on equivalent total aa basis vs. an equivalent...

Many organizations use business policies to govern their business processes. For complex business processes, this results in huge amount of policy documents. Given the large volume of policies, manually analyzing policy documents to discover process information imposes excessive cognitive load. In order to provide a solution to this problem, we have proposed previously a novel approach named Po...

Two experiments were conducted to determine: first, the best time of excreta collection after force feeding of broilers to yield the maximal amount of excreta, and second, nitrogen-corrected true metabolizable energy contents of some poultry feedstuffs including yellow corn, soybean meal, corn gluten meal, canola meal and poultry by-product meal by a new precision-fed chick assay using 3-week-o...

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of treated protein supplements with tannin extracted from pistachio by-product (P-PB) on in vitro gas production using fistulated sheep. One portion of P-PB was mixed with four portions of water for 48 h. The extracted product was sprayed on soybean meal (SBM) or canola meal (CM) with an equal ratio (1:1 v/w) and dried in the shade. The expe...

IMPORTANCE The Pioneer Accountable Care Organization (ACO) Model aims to drive health care organizations to reduce expenditures while improving quality for fee-for-service (FFS) Medicare beneficiaries. OBJECTIVE To determine whether FFS beneficiaries aligned with Pioneer ACOs had smaller increases in spending and utilization than other FFS beneficiaries while retaining similar levels of care ...

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of processing protein meals by tannin extracted from pistachio by-product on apparent total tract digestibility, ruminal fermentation and performance of dairy cows. For tannin extraction, one kilogram of sun-dried pistachio by-products was immersed in four liters of water for 48 h. Then, pistachio by-products were removed from the water and ...

Predictive business process monitoring (PBPM) aims to predict future behavior during ongoing executions based on event log data. Especially, techniques for the next activity and timestamp prediction can help improve performance of operational processes. Recently, many PBPM solutions deep learning were proposed by researchers. Due sequential nature data, a common choice is apply recurrent neural...
