The effect of dietary carbohydrates (CBH) on glucose and glycogen, digestive enzymes, ammonia excretion and osmotic pressure and osmotic capacity of Litopenaeus stylirostris juveniles was studied. The increase of CBH, ranging between 1 and 33%, stimulates activities of alpha-amylase and alpha-glucosidase in the hepatopancreas. High levels of glucose in hemolymph and of glycogen in the hepatopan...

Exogenous porcine somatotropin (PST) administration stimulates protein deposition and inhibits lipogenesis, resulting in dose-related improvements in growth performance and reduction of carcass fat content. However, the associated impacts of this technology on dietary nutrient requirements and energy partitioning between maintenance, protein, and fat remain unclear. Studies with pigs between 25...

objective: to assess and compare the nutritional status of children aged 5-14 years in arsenic exposed and non- exposed areas. materials and methods: it was a cross sectional study conducted on 600 children of age 5-14 years from arsenic exposed and non-exposed areas in bangladesh. designed questionnaire and check list were used for collection of data. to estimate bmi necessary anthropometric m...

this study was performed to evaluate the effects of crud protein (cp) level on dry matter intake in prepartum period, productive performance and health of fresh cows. twenty multiparous holstein cows were assigned randomly to one of two dietary treatments. dietary treatments were treatment 1, 13% cp of dm (control), and treatment 2, 16% cp of dm. diets were similar in lactation net energy and r...

To determine the effects of dietary protein level on cardiac and hepatic mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, chicks were fed on semi-purified diets of different protein levels (7, 25, 43 and 61% of metabolizable energy content) for 7, 14 and 21 d. All diets were formulated to contain equivalent fat, mineral and vitamin contents on a gross energy basis. Cardiac and hepatic mitochondrial oxi...

The relationship between gut microbiota and obesity is well documented in humans animal models. Dietary factors can change the intestinal composition influence development. However, knowledge of how diet, metabolism, interact modulate energy metabolism development still limited. Epidemiological studies show a link consuming dietary proteins fats from specific sources obesity. Animal confirm tha...

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary energy levels of gestating gilts on physiological parameters and reproductive performance for primiparous sows. A total of 40 F1 gilts (Large White×Landrace) were allocated to 4 treatments using a completely randomized design (CRD). Four different experimental diets contained 3,165, 3,265 3,365 and 3,465 kcal of ME/kg and each ...

the aim of this study was to compare the effects of two levels of crude protein using poultry by-product meals (pbpm) fed during late gestation on the performance, blood metabolites, and colostrum composition of holstein dairy cows. sixteen multiparous cows 26±6 d before expected calving were assigned randomly to two treatments containing 1) 14% and 2) 16% crude protein. the cow’s bcs was 3.56 ...
