The development of a reliable in vitro feeding system has enabled the rapid testing of presumptive anti-mite factors, a mixture of protease inhibitors (PI), by incorporating these into the blood feed. Mites were collected from a caged-hen facility an

The effects of supplementing broiler breeder diets with polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and organo-Se compounds on the levels of Se and PUFA in chick tissues and on chick performance were assessed. Prepeak (23 wk) and peak (27 wk) production broil

Necrotic enteritis is a disease in poultry that can have a high economic and animal welfare cost, and has become increasingly prevalent in the European Union due to factors such as the removal of antibiotic growth promoters and the requirement to exc

The aim of this study was to assess the bioequivalence of H13CO-3 and H14CO-3, by administering both labels simultaneously by single infusion and comparing their recovery in breath CO2 and urinary urea. Six healthy male subjects (age range 24–41 ye

1. Growth rates and carcase characteristics were measured in male broiler chickens fed on a control diet deficient in methionine (c. 2.8 g/kg methionine) or a series of diets containing graded levels of betaine or DL-methionine or both additives. 2.

Evolutionary hypotheses suggest that higher rates of postembryonic development in birds should either lower the resting metabolic rate (RMR) in a trade-off between the costs of growth and maintenance or increase RMR because of a buildup of metabolic

Previous studies suggest that many species of insectivorous bats are nocturnal, despite the relatively low availability of their insect prey at night, because of the risk of predation by diurnal predatory birds. We hypothesised that if this was the c

We exposed short-tailed field voles, Microtus agrestis, to transient decreases in ambient temperature to evaluate the limits of their sustainable metabolic rates. We predicted that voles exposed to transient low temperatures would elevate their food

We investigated the extent to which the changes in basal metabolic rate (BMR), gut morphology, andfood intake (FI) that typically occur during cold acclima tion in small mammals can be explained by the concept ofalimentary-mediated limits to sustai
