Effects of the use of 200 g of either wheat bran, sugar beet pulp, soya bean hulls or alfalfa meal per kilogram diet on the digestive process of the weaned piglet were studied on 24 Duroc Landrace male piglets, weaned at 28 days of age. Piglets had an initial mean live weight of 7.92( 1.1) kg and were randomly distributed in six successive blocks of four animals. The total tract apparent digest...

Protein is the major component for shrimp feeds and must be nutritionally appropriate and readily digestible. In vitro protein digestibility of feeds and feed ingredients, and their inhibitory effect on the digestive proteases of juvenile Farfantepenaeus paulensis were examined. The analysis included animal (four types of fish meal, meat meal and blood meal) and plant (soybean meal and wheat fl...

Various cultivation parameters were optimized for the production of extra cellular protease by Brevibacterium linens DSM 20158 grown in solid state fermentation conditions using statistical approach. The cultivation variables were screened by the Plackett-Burman design and four significant variables (soybean meal, wheat bran, (NH4)2SO4 and inoculum size were further optimized via central compos...

7 The UK whole-wheat bioethanol and straw and DDGS based combined heat and power 8 (CHP) generation systems were assessed for environmental sustainability using a range of 9 impact categories or characterisations (IC): cumulative primary fossil energy (CPE), land use, 10 life cycle global warming potential over 100 years (GWP100), acidification potential (AP), 11 eutrophication potential (EP) a...

In order to evaluate eight different protein sources in honey bee nutrition, some experiments were conducted as a completely randomized designs with four replicates and three steps incubator, field and overwintering in Isfahan region. Protein sources were lentil flour, soybean flour, soybean meal, bread yeast, wheat gluten, skim milk powder, fish meal and Pollen. Results showed that the longevi...

OBJECTIVE This experiment was to evaluate the effect of different inclusion levels and adaptation periods on digestible energy (DE) and the apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of chemical constituents in diets supplemented with wheat bran. METHODS Thirty-six crossbred barrows with an initial body weight of 85.0±2.1 kg were allotted to 6 diets in a completely randomized block design with...

Five organic supplements namely cotton seed meal (CSM), peanut meal (PM), wheat bran (WB), rice bran (RB) and soybean meal (SBM) were supplemented to the wheat straw @ 10% and 20% (on dry weight basis). Mycelial growth and enzyme activity of Lentinus edodes strain Le-S were recorded at periodic intervals of 10 d upto 30 d. Maximum mycelial extension rate was obtained with 10% rice bran suppleme...

An experiment was conducted in glass aquaria to study the growth performance of common carp fry fed on four different feeds for 120 days. Four different feed ingredients used were fish meal + soybean+ Groundnut cake+ rice bran +wheat flour, fish meal + Groundnut cake + rice bran + wheat flour, soybean + Groundnut cake + rice bran + wheat flour and commercial cattle feed. The feed was supplied @...

This study was conducted with the objective of evaluating the effect of concentrate supplementation, formulated with different ingredients (Mesquite pod meal, sorghum meal or wheat meal and mineral supplementation) on performance, intake and digestibility of nutrients in Santa Inês lambs grazing on urochloa grass during the dry season. Twentyfour uncastrated weaned Santa Inês sheep, with averag...

BACKGROUND The intake of dietary fibre has been shown to reduce the risk of developing diabetes mellitus. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of commercial rye whole-meal bread containing whole kernels and white wheat bread on the rate of gastric emptying and postprandial glucose response in healthy subjects. METHODS Ten healthy subjects took part in a blinded crossover trial. Bl...
