Two experiments were designed to determine the N and AA digestibility of various protein sources (potato protein concentrate, soy protein concentrate, soy protein isolate, linseed meal, sunflower meal, cottonseed meal, canola meal, and camelina meal) fed to growing pigs. In each experiment, barrows were surgically fitted with a simple T-cannula at the distal ileum and fed 4 experimental diets a...

1. The responses of blood pressure, heart rate, autonomic function and plasma insulin to a high carbohydrate and a high fat meal of equivalent energy value were studied in nine young volunteers. 2. Neither meal produced a significant change in supine or erect blood pressure. The high carbohydrate meal, however, resulted in an overall rise in both supine (6 beats/min) and erect (6 beats/min; P l...

the objectives of this study were to determine the effects of feeding rapeseed (27%, dm basis) and sunflower biodiesel by-products as protein supplements on fatty acid composition (fa), profile (ratios and indices),enzyme activitiesfrom thecarcassin lambs fed cereal-based diets. simultaneously, itwas examined the relationship between ingested fa and carcass fa. samples were obtaine dfrommal efa...

Abstract This study aimed to determine the effect of using fermented shrimp shell meal in feed on growth Asian sea bass. was designed with a completely randomized design (CRD) 4 treatments and 3 replications thus treatment obtained A (feed without meal); B (Feed 15% C 20% meal) D 25% meal). Parameters observed were daily rate survival. The results showed that percentage substitution fish ration...

BACKGROUND Meal pattern analysis can be complex because of the large variability in meal consumption. The use of aggregated, generic meal data may address some of these issues. OBJECTIVE The objective was to develop a meal coding system and use it to explore meal patterns. DESIGN Dietary data were used from the National Adult Nutrition Survey (2008-2010), which collected 4-d food diary info...

The objective of this paper is to present a parsimonious forecasting model for the fishmeal price. The focus is on the soybean meal market’s impact on the fish meal price through the soybean meal futures price together with the stocks-to-use as an indicator of demand and supply conditions. A salient feature of the fishmeal market is the impact of the ENSO events on fishmeal supply. This possibl...

BACKGROUND The stimulation and intragastric accumulation of gastric secretion has been recognized as an important factor in gastroesophageal reflux disease. However, the interaction of gastric secretion and meal emptying has not been fully understood. Current methods to assess gastric secretion are either invasive or unable to provide information on its volume, distribution and dynamics. The ai...

Evaluation of abundantly available agro-industrial by-products for their bioactive compounds and biological activities is beneficial in particular for the food and pharmaceutical industries. In this study, rapeseed meal, cottonseed meal and soybean meal were investigated for the presence of bioactive compounds and antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, xanthine oxidase and tyrosinase inhibitory activi...

Mice deficient in brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) develop mature-onset obesity, primarily due to overeating. To gain insight into the mechanism of this hyperphagia, we characterized food intake, body weight, meal pattern, and meal microstructure in young and mature mice fed balanced or high-fat diets. Hyperphagia and obesity occurred in mature but not young BDNF mutants fed a balanced ...

background: in recent years, many studies have been conducted on finding a suitable replacement for fish meal to supply the needs of aquaculture feed industry. objectives: the present study was performed to examine the effect of replacing fish meal and fish oil with plant sources on bacterial counts in intestinal contents and mucus and bacterial composition in beluga sturgeon. methods: beluga s...
