Protein malnutrition in utero that induces permanent changes metabolism has been investigated intensively various animals recent years, but to the best of our knowledge, not yet mink, a strict carnivore. In present study, minks were fed either low-protein (LP) diet, i.e., with protein:fat:carbohydrate ratio 14:51:35% metabolisable energy (ME), or an adequate-protein diet (AP), i.e. 29:56:15% ME, from when implantation was completed until parturition (17.9 ± 3.6 days). Respiration and balance...

Malnutrition during foetal life can induce modifications in the phenotype of an individual. The present study aimed to observe effects low protein provision on and changes progeny 1-year-old female mink (F(1) generation) offspring mothers fed a low-protein diet. Traits studied included reproductive performance, energy metabolism, key hepatic enzymes associated with glucose homeostasis metabolic hormones. F(0) generation were either (14 % metabolisable (ME) from - FLP1) or adequate-protein...

Inactivated Cyberlindnera jadinii yeast (previously classified as Candida utilis) produced from local lignocellulosic biomass-based sugars is an alternative protein source in diets for young pigs. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects containing C. on nitrogen and energy metabolism apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) major nutrients Twenty-four intact boars with a mean initial body weight 16.7 ± 4.5 kg were assigned four diets: conventional control diet pigs soybean...

Foetal life malnutrition has been studied intensively in a number of animal models. Results show that especially foetal protein can lead to metabolic changes later life. This might be particular importance for strict carnivores, example, cat and mink (Neovison vison) because their higher requirement than other domestic mammals. study aimed investigate the effects low provision during male kits on metabolism early post-weaning period rapid growth whether deficiency affects response adequate...

Protein restriction in utero may give rise to restricted growth as well induce metabolically related diseases. In order determine the suitability of mink an animal model for metabolism studies, effects protein during gestation on dam and kit performance must first be determined. Mink dams were fed adequate (AP; crude protein:fat:carbohydrate ratio 31:55:14% metabolizable energy, ME) or a low diet (LP; 19%:49%: 32% last 21.2 ± 3.3 days gestation, followed by lactation. Respiration balance...

Summary Low protein provision in utero and post‐partum may induce metabolic disorders adulthood. Studies mink have mainly focused on short‐term consequences of low whereas the long‐term responses to ( LP ) metabolically programmed are unknown. We investigated whether affects response adequate AP or after weaning male mink. Eighty‐six were exposed (19% ME from CP ; crude protein) (31% , (~20% (30–42% post‐weaning. Being by did not affect post‐weaning diets. Dietary content feed was below...

The present study evaluated growing mink () as a model for dietary protein quality assessment of meals used in extruded dog foods. Three foods with similar CP content but different were produced using meals. varied respect to digestibility and AA composition included lamb meal (LBM), poultry (PM), fish (FM) low, intermediate, high quality, respectively. Nitrogen balance, BW gain, efficiency ratio (PER), apparent total tract (ATTD) measures bioavailability mink. Standardized ileal (SID) was...

Malnutrition in fetal life and during suckling have some animal studies resulted adaptive changes related to the fat glucose metabolism, which long term might predispose offspring for metabolic disorders such as obesity later life. The objective was study effect of malnutrition male mink on gene expression leptin adiponectin different adipose tissue sites.Thirty-two mink, strict carnivore species, exposed low (FL) or adequate (FA) protein provision last 16.3 ± 1.8 days randomly assigned a...

The nutrient provision to pregnant females has high impact on the growth and metabolism of their offspring. objective was investigate if expression hepatic enzymes regulating fat affected in foetuses adult female mink born by dams fed either a low or an adequate level protein during late gestation. relative abundances acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase (ACC), fatty acid synthase (FAS) carnitine palmitoyl transferase 1 (CPT1) mRNA were determined qualitative polymerase chain reaction livers F0-...

Hepatic lipidosis is a multifactorial disease and may be caused by number of factors such as low protein provision, feed deprivation, rapid accretion or mobilisation body fat all resulting in metabolic imbalances.

Growth performance and metabolism were investigated in mink kits (n = 210) exposed to the same dietary treatment as their dams 30), i.e. high (HP; 61% of metabolisable energy, ME), medium (MP; 48% ME) or low (LP; 30% protein supply, from birth until 10 weeks age. The weighed weekly, measured by means balance experiment indirect calorimetry, eight nine post-partum (p.p.). At weaning (seven p.p.) p.p. one kit per litter was killed blood, liver kidneys collected. Plasma amino acid profiles,...

Protein and amino acid (AA) availability of three protein meals expected different quality were evaluated in young growing adult mink. Lamb meal (LM), poultry (PM) or fishmeal (FM) used as main sources extruded diets investigated by determining apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) nitrogen balance 12 mink males aged 8-11 weeks a Latin square design. In mink, ATTD the was determined. The had lower content than recommended for contributing 23% metabolisable energy (ME), to ensure...
