Alfalfa sometimes cannot be harvested in time due to the rainy season. To improve fermentation quality, protein quality and digestibility of alfalfa silage late, Lactobacillus plantarum (LP) molasses were applied an actual production process this study. at full bloom stage was ensiled with (1) distilled water (control), (2) 1 × 106 colony-forming units LP/g fresh matter, (3) 15 g molasses/kg ma...

Our objectives were to determine if milk casein as a percentage of true protein (CN%TP) estimated by sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) is equivalent CN%TP Kjeldahl, and the proportion (CN), proteolysis products (CNPP), serum (SP) from (TP) that goes into Kjeldahl noncasein nitrogen (NCN) filtrate stays in NCN precipitate using SDS-PAGE. Raw samples collected 1...

OBJECTIVE To investigate if the availability of nonprotein-bound iron after birth asphyxia is related to the severity of the postasphyxial injury and neurodevelopmental outcome. METHODS Nonprotein-bound iron (bleomycin assay) and thiobarbituric-acid-reactive species, an index of oxidative lipid damage, were measured in plasma of 50 newborn infants (gestational age > 34 weeks) between 0 to 8 h...

Ammonium polyphosphate (APP) was substituted for 0, 50 and 100% of the P supplied by defluorinated rock phosphate (DRP) in corn-soybean meal diets for growing rats and growing-finishing (G-F) pigs. The diets were formulated to contain 10% protein, .75% Ca and .60% P. Two-thirds of the P in the control diet was supplied by DRP. Replacement of 50 or 100% of the DRP with APP increased the dietary ...

Samples of fresh apple pomace were collected from 14 loads of apple pomace as delivered from the processing plant in October 1968 and from stored apple pomace that had been obtained in October 1967 and fed during a feeding trial from mid-November 1967 through April 1968. All samples were analyzed for dicofol (kelthane), tetradifon (tedion), DDT, DDD and DDE. For the pesticide residues in fresh ...

Linderstrplm-Lang and Ottesen have reported the discovery of a bacterial enzyme which brings about the transformation of ovalbumin to a new, easily crystallizable protein, plakalbumin. Unlike other proteolytic processes, this reaction seems to involve the rupture of a limited number of peptide bonds, with the release of only slightly over 1 per cent of the total ovalbumin nitrogen (1, 2). Ville...

Zinc has been shown to be an element essential to the life and growth of rats, but as yet there is no clear indication of what its function may be in metabolism. There are several reports of the occurrence of zinc in pure biological compounds. Scott and Fisher (1) have shown zinc to be necessary for the crystallization of insulin, although other metals were also effective. Keilin and Mann (2) r...
