objective about 1 % of infants are of very low birth weight. however, they comprise about 50% of infant mortality. we compare the effects of continuous versus intermittent feeding on physical growth, gastrointestinal tolerance and macronutrient retention in low birth weight infants (methods a prospective randomized trial clinical trial was performed from 2004-2005. very low birth weight neonate...

Sequential feeding programs (Seq) of 2 feeds, 1 protein rich-energy poor and 1 energy rich-protein poor, during the same day or every other day were compared with a control complete diet for male broiler growth and body composition from 15 d to market weight. In experiment 1, BW gain and breast meat yield were significantly lower than those of controls for 24-h-cycle Seq with extreme protein co...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The occipital artery is usually a main feeding artery of an intracranial dural arteriovenous fistula. The aim of this study was to establish the role of the OA in the diagnosis of DAVFs by using duplex sonography. MATERIALS AND METHODS We first compared the clinical features between patients with DAVFs having and not having the OA as one of feeding arteries in 181 conse...

The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that reducing dietary CP by 1.5% and supplementing crystalline AA (CAA) to meet the standardized ileal digestible (SID) AA requirements for growing and finishing pigs decreases air emissions of ammonia (NH), nitrous oxide (NO), and carbon dioxide (CO) compared with an industry standard diet, without reducing growth performance. Seventy-two ...

Oil palm fronds (OPF) are one of the main by-products of the oil palm industry in Malaysia. It contains about 38.5 % crude fibre with ME values of about 5.65 MJ/kg dry matter. OPF has great potential to be utilized as a roughage source or as a component in a complete feed for ruminant animals. This paper briefly reviews the availability of OPF in Malaysia and its importance in the local beef an...
