The effect of Monensin (Rumensin, Eli Lilly & Co.) in incubations with mixed rumen microorganisms metabolizing carbohydrate or protein substrates was investigated. partly inhibited methanogenesis and increased propionate production, although the not always statistically significant. Incubations specific for methane bacteria suggest that inhibition by due to a toxic action on methanogenic flora, but rather an hydrogen production from formate. Total net microbial growth were considerably...
Abstract The effect of double-muscling (DM) genotype (double-muscling, mh/mh; heterozygous, mh/+; normal, +/+) Belgian Blue (BB) young bulls on the intramuscular fatty acid composition, in particular conjugated linoleic (CLA) and polyunsaturated acids (PUFA) was examined five different muscles. relative composition showed only minor differences between muscles within genotypes. However, DM had a large both total content composition. Across muscles, mh/mh animals lower compared with...
1. Rumen contents of a fasted fistulated wether, obtained in faunated, defaunated and refaunated period were incubated vitro with mixture cellobiose maltose, the presence ammonium bicarbonate 32PO43-. Total synthesis microbial N (Nt) was calculated from 32P incorporation N:P determined matter. The value not affected by defaunation. Net (Nn) ammonia-N incorporation. An estimate degradation as Nt-Nn. Energetic efficiency volatile fatty acids produced during incubation, g incorporated per kg...
The amounts of total and individual fatty acids present in tri‐glycerides (TG), free (FFA), diglycerides (DG), monoglycerides (MG) polar lipids (PL) were determined at various stages dry sausage ripening using a combination thin layer gas chromatography. Total FFA increased from 1 to 5% DG 0.5 4%, whereas TG showed corresponding decrease. rate liberation was the order 18:2 > 18:1 18:0 16:0 while MG enriched 16:0. These results suggest specificity lipolysis.
1. The extracellular phosphate pool in incubations of rumen fluid or washed cell suspensions mixed bacteria (WCS) was labelled with 32P. From the constant specific activity and amount radioactivity incorporated during incubation, P microbial fraction calculated. value for nitrogen: determined matter, N calculated as a measure growth. 2. Incorporation soluble non-protein-N devoid substrate protein 50 80% values obtained using isotope method WCS respectively. It is suggested that results...
