Regenerative, pasture-raised layer hen systems create synergistic relationships between the hens, forage, soil, and weather, fostering a sustainable system. However, influence of these factors on egg nutrient profile quality may vary by region. This study took place over two years; samples were collected from farm in Ohio during first year Indiana second year. Egg (n = 12) forage 3) monthly September to December. Fatty acids quantified using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry,...
There is increasing interest in using grass-fed beef (GFB) by-products to augment the nutrient profile of eggs among local pasture-raising systems US. The objective this study was characterize egg yolk fatty acid and antioxidant profiles from pasture-raised hens fed a corn- soy-free diet supplemented with GFB suet liver compared corn soy layer hen feed commercially obtained cage-free eggs. vitamin mineral also assessed by commercial laboratory. Both groups had twice as much carotenoid...
Obesity exacerbates inflammation upon lung injury; however, the mechanisms by which obesity primes pulmonary dysregulation prior to external injury are not well studied. Herein, we tested hypothesis that dysregulates PUFA metabolism is central initiation and resolution. We first show a high-fat diet (HFD) administered C57BL/6J mice increased relative abundance of PUFA-containing triglycerides concentration PUFA-derived oxylipins (particularly prostaglandins hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids),...
As the demand for grass-fed ruminant products keeps increasing, more data are needed to assess nutritional value of feedstuffs, especially pastures. In addition, global climate change adds another challenge management grasslands with projections changing temperature and precipitation patterns. Consequently, variations in bioactive compounds such as fatty acids antioxidants feeds will be harder predict. Therefore, it is critical report region time-specific results intended nutrition. The...
Cattle diet and breed modify the nutritional profile of beef. The objective this study was to compare fatty acid (FA) micronutrient profiles Red Angus (RA) RA x Akaushi (AK) crossbreed steers fed either a grass or grain diet. This two-year randomly assigned diets using 2 × factorial experiment. FAs micronutrients were analyzed. Diet effect strongest with grass-finished beef being higher in n-3 polyunsaturated (p < 0.001), conjugated linoleic 0.05), vaccenic iron vitamin E 0.001) compared...
The objective of this study was to compare the antioxidant and fatty acid composition conventionally raised commercial, free-range pasture-raised local eggs. Egg characteristics antioxidants were assessed, determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Pasture-raised egg yolk contained more retinol significantly higher levels carotenoids α-tocopherol (p < 0.05) with no significant differences in total phenolic content. percents ω-3 acids ω-6:ω-3 ratios lower eggs 0.05). Branched chain...
As the global population increases, so does meat consumption. This trend is accompanied by concerns regarding industry, and consumers are demanding transparency on environmental health effects of products they purchasing. Many leading organizations recommend reducing red Nevertheless, no differentiation made among meats beef. The beef production system generally ignored despite nutritional differences between grain- grass-fed Compared to grain-fed beef, contains a healthier fatty acid...
Grass-finished beef (GFB) has demonstrated wide nutritional variations with some GFB having a considerably higher n-6:n-3 ratio compared to grain-finished beef. To better understand these variations, the current study investigated effects of commonly used supplemental feeds on profile GFB. This two-year involved 117 steers randomly allocated one four diets: (1) grass+hay (G-HAY), (2) grass+baleage (G-BLG), (3) grass+soybean hulls (G-SH), and (4) baleage+soybean in feedlot (BLG-SH). Feed...
Stressful events can significantly impact health behaviors of tertiary students in various ways. Many studies reported adverse alterations during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, there is limited knowledge about from sub-Saharan African countries. Therefore, this study aimed to assess effects pandemic on Ghanaian students, with an emphasis association between sleep and other behaviors. A cross-sectional eligible Kwame Nkrumah University Science Technology Ghana (n = 129) was conducted. An...
Abstract Finishing systems and genetics can affect nutritional profiles. The objectives of this study were to quantify fatty acids (FA), vitamins, minerals from two different breeds cattle finished either on grain or grass. Red Angus (RA, n = 30) RA x Akaushi (AK, equally assigned one the finishing systems: a mixed-species pasture forage (GRASS) total mixed feedlot ration (GRAIN) in three replications. Animals slaughtered between 18 26 months age, meat samples collected 11th 13th rib. FA...
The nutrient composition of chicken eggs can be manipulated by altering the layer hen feeds and adding supplements to diets. Current nutrition guidelines recommend consuming diets with less saturated fatty acids (SFAs) a lower omega-6: omega-3 (n-6: n-3) ratio mitigate risk cardiovascular disease. There has been interest in utilizing byproducts grass-fed systems reduce SFA content n-6: n-3 sustainable manner. objective this study was quantify compare FA profile pasture-raised supplemented...
