It is well known that dietary protein affects the growth performance and carcass composition of poultry. Over the last several decades, numerous studies have been carried out to investigate to optimize the level of dietary protein since the protein is an important and expensive constituent in poultry feed. It is generally accepted that dietary protein should represent a balance of amino acids s...

Nine multiparous lactating cows averaging 171 days in milk were divided according to days in milk and milk production into three 3×3 Latin squares with three 3-week periods to investigate the effect of rumen degradable protein on milk urea nitrogen. Diets were formulated to provide 3 concentrations of dietary rumen degradable protein (9.8, 10.8, and 11.8% of dry matter), while rumen undegradabl...

Washed staphylococcal cells separated from peptone-broth cultures containing penicillin G did not differ markedly from cells not exposed to penicillin in their rate of oxygen, phosphate, glutamic acid, or amino nitrogen utilization. Washed normal staphyloccal cells, respiring in solutions containing glucose and various mixtures of amino acids, utilized the amino acids with an increase in the ce...

1. Discs cut from tobacco leaf tissue infected with tobacco mosaic virus and cultured in water contain less non-protein nitrogen than comparable uninfected discs during the time at which TMV is formed. This deficiency disappears when virus formation ceases. Discs cultured in nutrient solution form about twice as much TMV as discs cultured in water. The maximum non-protein nitrogen deficiency is...

Three techniques for estimating rumen protein degradability were used together with in vivo apparent nitrogen digestibility estimates from sheep fed dried chopped Pangola grass or Siratro. The techniques used were 1) nitrogen disappearance from nylon bags suspended in the rumen, 2) S labelling of rumen microbial protein with plant nitrogen degradability calculated as the difference between micr...

in order to evaluate plant density and different nitrogen levels on protein percent, yield and nitrate accumulation in potato tuber cv. agria, a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted in ardabil in 2006. factors included nitrogen levels: 0, 80, 160 and 200 kg ha-1 net nitrogen and plant densities: 5.5, 7.5 and 11 plant m-2. results s...
