Alfalfa use by dairy cattle has decreased in recent years because of excessive nonprotein nitrogen and low fiber digestibility. Ideal attributes for plant modification of alfalfa may include those that increase milk potential per acre and/or per ton, enhance digestible NDF, improve protein content and amino acid balance, improve agronomic traits for insect protection (safer forage supply), herb...

The digestive organs in decapodiform cephalopod species morphologically vary by individual lifestyle. We examined the following six species of adult decapodiformes cephalopods representing different habitats: Todarodes pacificus, Loligo bleekeri, Loligo edulis, Watasenia scintillans (pelagic), Sepia lycidas and Euprymna morsei (benthic). L. bleekeri and L. edulis possess a bursiform cecal sac c...

We examined the following six species of adult decapodiformes 21 cephalopods representing different habitats: Todarodes pacificus, Loligo bleekeri, Loligo 22 edulis, Watasenia scintillans (pelagic), Sepia lycidas, and Euprymna morsei (benthic). L. 23 bleekeri and L. edulis possess a bursi...

Dietary fiber has been defined as the part of material in foods impervious to the degradative enzymes of the human digestive tract. The dietary fiber of plants is comprised of carbohydrate cornpounds including cellulose, hemicellulose, pectin, gums, rnucilages, and a noncarbohydrate substance, lignin. These substances, which form the structure of plants, are present in the cell walls of all par...
