Black soldier fly larvae are converters of organic waste into edible biomass, which the composition may depend on substrate. In this study, were grown four substrates: chicken feed, vegetable waste, biogas digestate, and restaurant waste. Samples prepupae substrates freeze-dried proximate, amino acid, fatty acid mineral analyses performed.Protein content varied between 399 431 g kg-1 dry matter (DM) among treatments. Differences in profile small. On other hand, ether extract (EE) ash...
In order to expand with validated scientific data the limited knowledge regarding potential application of insects as innovative feed ingredients for poultry, present study tested a partial substitution soya bean meal and oil defatted black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae (H) in diet growing broiler quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica) on growth performance, mortality, nutrients apparent digestibility, microbiological composition excreta, choice, carcass meat traits. With this purpose,...
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) hold significant potential for various applications in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. Initially considered as a single cell type with defined characteristics, MSCs are now known heterogeneous population remarkable differences their properties. No consensus exists on how donor age affects MSC like proliferation. Additionally, differentiation capacities immunophenotype could arise when isolated from different animals breeds, which is relevant...
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...
Abstract BACKGROUND: The essential oils (EO) carvacrol, thymol, eugenol and trans ‐cinnamaldehyde have well‐documented antimicrobial properties offer therefore an alternative for the growth promoters in pig feeds. aim of this work was to determine degradation kinetics these EO along gastrointestinal tract (GIT) piglets, which is necessary information correct application RESULTS: None compounds significantly degraded vitro simulations gastric fermentation. Carvacrol thymol were not jejunal...
This paper is based on a workshop held in Oslo, Norway November 2013, which experts discussed how to reach consensus the healthiness of red and processed meat. Recent nutritional recommendations include reducing intake meat reduce cancer risk, particular colorectal (CRC). Epidemiological mechanistic data associations between CRC are inconsistent underlying mechanisms unclear. There need for further studies differences white meat, whole different types meats, as potential health risks may not...
Creatine, (CREA) a central constituent in energy metabolism, is obtained from dietary animal protein or de novo synthesis guanidinoacetic acid (GAA). Especially all-vegetable diets, supplemental CREA GAA may restore the availability tissues, and hence, improve performance. In this study, 768 one-d-old male Ross 308 broilers were assigned to 1 of 4 diets: negative control, corn-soybean-based; control supplemented with either 0.6 1.2 g per kilogram feed; positive (60, 30, 30 g/kg fish meal...
Natural tocopherols (TC), rosemary (RO), green tea (GT), grape seed, and tomato extracts were supplemented in single combinations at total concentrations of 100 200 mg·kg−1 feed a 4% linseed oil-containing diet to investigate the oxidative stability broiler breast muscle. Supplementation with 300 mg·kg− 1 synthetic antioxidants alone α-tocopheryl acetate concentration (100 IU) was used as control. Fresh patties prepared stored under light 4°C. After freezing for 8 mo overnight thawing, 3...
Abstract The last decade has seen epidemiological evidence of a positive association between high consumption red meat and processed the risk developing range chronic diseases, such as colorectal cancer, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes. Oxidative stress is potentially involved in this association; however, oxidative likely limited if are consumed moderation, combined with intake fruits vegetables low refined sugars. In addition, it appears that some subgroups population more prone to...
Zinc is an essential nutritional trace element for all forms of life as it plays important role in numerous biological processes. In poultry, zinc provided by in-feed supplementation, mainly oxide or sulfate. Alternatively can be supplemented organic sources, which are characterized using ligand that may amino acid, peptide, protein to bind and have a higher bioavailability than inorganic sources. There limited number studies directly comparing the effects vs. sources on performance...
Cultured meat has been presented as an environmentally friendlier option to conventional meat, but due the limited data, studies related its performance are scarce and based on hypothetical production processes. This work provides a short literature review of published environmental assessments cultured meat. The main findings this critical analysis showed that lack real data decreased level accuracy each study. missing profile process itself, including proliferation differentiation phases...
