Abstract Bacteria produce diverse d-amino acids, which are essential components of cell wall peptidoglycan. Incorporation these acids into peptidoglycan contributes to bacterial adaptation environmental changes and threats. d-Amino have been associated with growth, biofilm formation dispersal regulation metabolism. The diversity in bacteria is primarily due the activities amino acid racemases t...

a total of 1440 arian chicks were used in this study to determine the effects of diet formulation methods on performance and blood parameters of arian chicks. eight diets were arranged in a 2×2×2 factorial design with 2 methods of energy expression (apparent (amen) and true (tmen) metabolizable energy corrected to n equilibrium), 2 methods of amino acids content of feeds (total (taaf) and diges...

Heavy metals pollution is one of the key environmental problems. In this research, the effect of seed priming with salicylic acid and sodium hydrosulfide was investigated on methionine and arginine amino acids contents and some compounds derived from their metabolism as well as ZmACS6 and ZmSAMD transcripts levels in maize plants under lead stress. For this purpose, maize seeds were soaked in s...

In the United States, guinea fowl (GF) production has continued to increase due to increased demand and consumption of specialty meats . However, there is lack of information on optimum nutrients, such as amino acids, that would support optimum growth performance and minimize production cost of the GF . The amino acid methionine is most limiting in poultry feeding while methionine and cysteine ...

Feed accounts for 60 to 70% of broiler production costs . Thus, improvement in feed efficiency is needed. Ileal digestibility (ID) and total-tract amino acid (AA) utilization are the parameter used to evaluate feed ingredients . However, ID of AA can be affected, for example, by gut inflammation as a result of a coccidial vaccine challenge. Adedokun et al. (2014) showed significantly high ileal...
