Abstract A study on the initial characterization of bifidus milk quality with a different level Bifidobacterium longum was conducted to find out best starter that is able produce meets characteristics healthy drink. The design use in this consisting 4 treatments (starter level) are 1% (L 1 ), 3% 2 5% 3 and 7% ) four replications for each treatment, thus 16 experimental units were obtained. Furt...

An alternative protein ingredient based on spray-dried, hydrolyzed red blood cells was evaluated in calf milk replacers. Two experiments were conducted to determine the value of the ingredient on intake, growth, and feed efficiency in dairy calves. In experiment 1, Holstein bull calves (n = 120) were fed calf milk replacer containing 0, 11, 22, or 43% of crude protein as spray dried hydrolyzed ...

AIMS The aim of this study was to determine the proteolytic activities of Staphylococcus xylosus strains on sarcoplasmic and myofibrillar proteins in order to evaluate the suitability of selected strains as starter cultures in the processing of a dry fermented pork sausage. METHODS AND RESULTS The proteolytic activity of 27 strains of Staphylococcus xylosus on sarcoplasmic and myofibrillar pr...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of different levels of crude protein and threonine on performance, carcass characteristics and immune system of broiler chickens during starter (7-24) and grower (25-42) periods. a total of 288 male broiler chicks of ross 308 strain were used in a completely randomized design with factorial arrangement (2×4) with three replicates in each trea...

Holstein calves were fed pelleted starter diets with crude protein (CP) concentrations of 18%, 22% and 24% per dry matter (DM) containing soybean meal (SBM) (SBM18, SBM20 and SBM24), respectively, for 10 weeks from 14 days of age. Another diet with a CP concentration of 18% per DM was tested using commercial xylose-soybean meal (XSB; Yasminomax) instead of SBM. Each diet was fed to 24 calves an...

To evaluate the effects of feeding four different levels of starter in male Holstein dairy calves, a completely randomized study was conducted, using 28 calves with initial body weight of 40.5±2.4 kg. The animals were fed iso-nitrogenous starter and were weaned when they consumed 350, 500, 650 and 800 g/d of starter for 3 d consecutively. Starter and water were available ad-libitum throughout t...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of replacing corn grain for sugar cane molasses (MO) or glucose syrup (GS) in the starter concentrate on performance and metabolism of dairy calves. Thirty-six individually housed Holstein male calves were blocked according to weight and date of birth and assigned to one of the starter feed treatments, during an 8 week study: i) starter containin...

Thirty neonatal male Holstein calves fed by starter diets containing ground wheat (GW) or dry-rolled wheat (DRW) to 12 weeks of age. Skeletal growth measures, starter digestibility, starter intake, blood metabolites and rumen metabolites of nursing calves were assessed in weeks 4, 8 and 12 to assess rumen development and find the optimum method of wheat processing for calves. Calves were weaned...

The starter unit used in the biosynthesis of daunorubicin is propionyl coenzyme A (CoA) rather than acetyl-CoA, which is used in the production of most of the bacterial aromatic polyketides studied to date. In the daunorubicin biosynthesis gene cluster of Streptomyces peucetius, directly downstream of the genes encoding the beta-ketoacyl:acyl carrier protein synthase subunits, are two genes, dp...

Three experiments were conducted to determine the digestible lysine requirement of starter (6 kg BW initially) and of grower (21 kg BW initially) pigs. Experiment 1 used 294 starter pigs and lasted 28 d; Exp. 2 used 182 grower pigs and lasted 35 d. Protein and total lysine contents of the basal corn-peanut meal diets were 20 and .8% for Exp. 1 and 16 and .54% for Exp. 2. Basal diets were fortif...
