1. L-histidine (20 g/kg) added to vitamin B12-deficient and cyanocobalamin-supplemented diets based on soya-bean flour reduced the growth of rats given the vitamin B12-deficient diet but stimulated growth of rats given the cyanocobalamin-supplemented diet. Liver weight (g/kg body-weight)increased, but the protein content of the livers decreased, in rats given histidine supplements. The histidin...

Ayam Kampung Unggul Balitnak (KUB) is the result of selecting native Indonesian kampong chicken strains for six generations that have advantages in terms maintenance due to level feed consumption less. The aim this research was effect soybean flour on performances Superior Kampong Chicken (KUB). This study used a completely Randomised Design consisting 5 treatments and 4 replicates. consisted T...

Screening of different adjuvants, namely, suspending agents, phagostimulants, stickers, antimicrobial agents, and UV screens to develop aqueous biopesticidal suspensions of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) variety kurstaki HD-1 fermented broths, specifically, nonhydrolyzed sludge, hydrolyzed sludge, starch industry wastewater, and soya (commercial medium), were investigated. The selected suspending ...

We have previously shown that rats fed raw soya flour (RSF) for more than four months develop hyperplastic foci of pancreatic acinar cells, which undergo malignant change if feeding RSF is continued throughout the life of the animals. The tendency to undergo malignant change is augmented by the additional use of a genotoxic carcinogen such as azaserine. The present study has sought to examine t...

The absorption of iron from soya-bean (Glycine hispida)-based and milk-based infant formulas was assessed in 138 multiparous Indian women, using the erythrocyte utilization of radioactive Fe method. Fe absorption was significantly greater from the basal milk formula (1.5 g protein) than it was from the basal soya-bean formula (2.3 g protein), with geometric mean values of 0.083 and 0.044 respec...

Production of indigenous isolate Bacillus thuringiensis sv2 (Bt sv2) was checked on conventional and nonconventional carbon and nitrogen sources in shake flasks. The effects on the production of biomass, toxin production, and spore formation capability of mosquito toxic strain were determined. Toxicity differs within the same strain depending on the growth medium. Bt sv2 produced with pigeon pe...

Using the substrate N-acetyl-L-tyrosyl-p-aminobenzoic acid, we determined chymotrypsin activity in the small intestine of calf, pig, and poultry. Orally administered N-acetyl-L-tyrosyl-p-aminobenzoic acid is enzymatically cleaved in vivo, and the released p-aminobenzoic acid is determined by HPLC. We found that the p-aminobenzoic acid concentration in plasma and urine was significantly influenc...

Raw soya flour (RSF) is thought to cause pancreatic hypertrophy in rats because trypsin inhibitor in the flour binds trypsin in the gut lumen and this lowering of free trypsin concentrations leads to the release of cholecystokinin (CCK). Intestinal enzyme concentrations were therefore studied in rats fed RSF for from one hour to 400 days to determine whether free trypsin concentrations were dep...
