Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDigestibility of Energy and Crude Protein in Korean Rice Wine Residues Fed to PigsMariette Bessem Akonjuen, Bokyung Hong, Hyunjun Choi, Beob Gyun KimTwo experiments were conducted to determine the digestibility of energy and Crude Protein (CP) in Korean Rice Wine Residues (RWR) using in vitro and in vivo approaches. In the in vitro experiment, 2-step and 3-step in vitro disappearance procedures were employed to determine in vitro Ileal Disappearance (IVID) and in vitro Total Tract Disappearance (IVTTD) of nutrients, respectively, in corn, … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 3 · 2 Sep 2019 · 7,999 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Effect of Various Inclusion Levels of β-Mannanase on Nutrient Digestibility in Diets Consisting of Corn, Soybean Meal and Palm Kernel Expellers Fed to Growing PigsW. B. Kwon, S. K. Park, C. Kong, B.G. KimAn experiment was conducted to determine the effects of various inclusion levels of β-mannanase on the energy and mannan digestibility in diets containing corn, Soybean Meal (SBM) and Palm Kernel Expellers (PKE) fed to growing pigs. The PKE contained 92.6% dry matter, 4,417 kcal gross energy kg-1, 4.02% ash and 31.3% mannan on an as-fed basis. Six barrows with an … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 20 Dec 2014 · 7,128 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEFFECT OF REPLACING CORN AND SOYBEAN MEAL WITH BREWERS RICE AND DRIED DISTILLERS BREWERS YEAST ON PERFORMANCE OF GROWING-FINISHING PIGSOndieki Gekara, Talesha Dokes, Renita MarshallThe objective of this study was to determine the effect of replacing corn and Soybean Meal (SBM) with Brewers Rice (BR) and Dried Distillers Brewers Yeast (DDBY), respectively, on ADG, G:F, Apparent Total Tract Digestibility (ATTD), fecal DM output and fecal loss of N and P of growing-finishing pigs. Sixty four Yorkshire x Duroc x Hampshire crosses (BW = 73±5.7 … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 24 Apr 2014 · 7,193 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEFFECTS OF MELANOCORTIN-4 RECEPTOR GENE ON GROWTH AND MEAT TRAITS IN PIGS RAISED IN RUSSIAA. Klimenko, A. Usatov, Lyubov Getmantseva et al.The Melanocortin-4 Receptor (MC4R), a G-protein coupled receptor, is implicated in mediating the effect of leptin on food intake and energy balance. A previous candidate gene study reported an association between an MC4R polymorphism (Asp298Asn) and growth and meat productive traits of pigs. The aim of this work was to determine frequencies of the MC4R/Taq I genotypes and alleles in … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 11 Feb 2014 · 7,608 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDiet Modification to Reduce Fecal Excretion of Nitrogen and Phosphorus in Growing-Finishing PigsOndieki Gekara, Talesha Dokes, Renita MarshallAn experiment was conducted to determine whether brewers rice can replace all corn in diets for swine and reduce fecal excretion of Nitrogen (N) and Phosphorus (P) without compromising performance and carcass quality of growing-finishing pigs. Sixteen Yorkshire x Duroc x Hampshire crosses (BW = 77±2.5 kg) were randomly assigned to either corn/soybean meal (CSM; control) or brewers rice/soybean meal … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 3 Oct 2013 · 7,452 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffects of Two Different Dose Levels of Irradiation on Thioredoxin Reductase in the Kidney of Guinea PigsNedret Kılıc, Yildiz Guney, Ayse Hıcsonmez et al.It is aimed to examine the state of the oxidant-antioxidant system in the liver of guinea pig caused by ionizing radiation at two different dose levels in the early period. The research was carried out on guinea pigs irradiated with the doses of 8 Gy (group 2) or 15 Gy (group 3) (single dose/whole body) in comparison with control group … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,786 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffects of Whole-body Magnetic Field on Changes of Glucose and Cortisol Hormone in Guinea PigsS. Zare, H. Hayatgeibi, S. Alivandi, A. G. EbadiThe main goal of this study was to evaluate the possible effect of whole-body Magnetic Field (MF) exposure on the variations of glucose and corlisol hormone levels on 36 adult male Guinea pigs in four separate experiments, male Guinea pigs, were exposed to sinusoidal 5Hz, 0.013 μT and 50 Hz-0.207 μT MF. Duration of exposure was 2 and 4 h/day … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,270 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffects of 50 HZ Magnetic Field on Some Factors of Immune System in the Male Guinea PigsH. Sedghi, S. Zare, H. Hayatgeibi et al.This study investigated the bio-effects of 50 Hz MF exposure on some Immunological factors (ACTH, cortisol and glucose levels) in male Guinea pigs. The capacity of 50 Hz Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) to interfere in the weakness of endocrine system has been a relevant fact into the scientific community, since we are more susceptible for this kind of exposure, in modern … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,997 accessesView PDF Cite
