Changes in modern human diets have resulted a deficiency omega-3 fatty acids. Rectifying this and increasing dietary levels of acids, such as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), can improve overall health. Fish are rich source acids; however, low consumption many parts the world, coupled with declining fish stocks, mean that alternative sources required. The enrichment commonly consumed foods has been suggested strategy could increase consumption. Eggs an obvious target for they worldwide their...

The ban of the meat and bone meal for entering animal diets concern transgenic feeds poses a challenge to nutritionists in Europe. is find homegrown protein-rich feedstuffs, making sure no antinutritional factors are present which could interfere animals' performance. raw Pea (Pisum sativum) (RP), Faba bean (Vicia faba, variety minor) (RFb) Lupin (Lupinus albus, multitalia) (RL) were evaluated as alternative protein sources into broiler diets. Six hundred thirty 1d-old Ross male chicks,...

Summary The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect dietary inclusion 6 g/kg dry matter intake an unextracted Aurantiochytrium limacinum algae (AURA) in mid-lactation Italian Friesian cows under commercial conditions on milk yield, composition and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) content. Cows were allocated two groups ( n = 18; 108.2 ± 66.1 104.4 54.6 days milk, control treated groups, respectively). Feeding AURA for 84 d had no intake, body condition score or weight gain, but did...

The objective of the study was to evaluate nutritive value raw, extruded or expanded peas relative soybean meal in lactating dairy cows feeding. Twenty four Italian Holstein (8 primiparous and 16 pluriparous), 604 ± 109 kg body weight, 34.5 2.5 kg/d milk yield, were randomly assigned dietary treatments a 4x4 Latin square arrangement with periods weeks washout period seven days. Diets fed ad libitum (5% orts). bulk base diet on dry matter basis corn silage (31.2%), alfalfa hay (16.7%), grass...

Omega-3 fatty acids play an important role in various aspects of human health, but many people do not consume them sufficient quantities, resulting deficiencies some populations. The enrichment commonly consumed foods with omega-3 has been proposed to address this deficit. Feeding omega-3–rich ingredients animals can enrich their products, increasing the consumption by population without requiring any major dietary changes. Eggs be enriched a high degree, and currently, omega-3–enriched eggs...

The 42 days trial was carried out using 140 piglets weaned at 28 of age. were allocated according to weight and sex the 5 dietary treatments with 7 replicates for each (4 pens x 4 castrated males 3 females). fed following experimental design: 1) control diet (CTR) soybean meal (SBM) 44% c.p. as protein source; 2) CRT diets 200 g/kg raw pea (Pisum sativum) (RP); 3) CTR extruded (EP); 4) 170 lupin (Lupinus albus var. Multitalia) (RL); 5) (EL). During trial, animals weighed 0 - 21 from start...

Summary The objective of this study was to evaluate the safety a standardized Macleaya cordata Extract Product (MCEP) containing quaternary benzophenanthridine alkaloids, sanguinarine and chelerythrine, when fed dairy cows. Thirty‐six cows were randomized into three groups with twelve cows/treatment in two replica pens for each treatment group: control (C) without MCEP added feed, 1 ( SANG ‐1000) feed at 1,000 mg/animal/day (1.5 mg/kg bw/day) 2 ‐10000) 10,000 (15.5 mg MCEP/kg bw/day).

There are various health benefits associated with people consuming sufficient quantities of omega-3 fatty acids, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), in particular, impacting cardiovascular and mental as well influencing the immune response. Dietary deficiencies common globally, an emerging strategy to compensate is enrichment frequently consumed foods. Chicken meat represents a good target for concentrations edible tissues can be easily altered by including omega-3–rich ingredients their diets....
