This system of analysis divides the food into six fractions: moisture, ash, crude protein, ether extract, crude fibre and nitrogen-free extractives. The moisture content is
1.1 Water 1.2 Dry matter and its components 1.3 Analysis and characterisation of foods Food is material that, after ingestion by animals, is capable of
The poultry industry is continuously evolving with new feeding concepts designed to improve poultry health, productivity, and sustainability. Here are some of the latest concepts
Numerous factors have been identifi ed that infl uence the effi cacy of exogenous phytases, which is partially refl ected in the inconsistent responses to
Notionally, phytases have the capacity to degrade IP6 phytate completely to inositol and to liberate six P moieties. However, because the P moiety axially located
Nutritional importance of phytate Phosphorus is an imperative nutrient for numerous biochemical pathways, physiological processes and skeletal integrity, but due to the partial availability of
Cell factories Introduction Feed enzymes, like other industrial enzymes, are currently produced on a large scale mostly in submerged or deep-tank bioreactors. The production hosts
All animals use enzymes to digest feed. These are either produced by the animal itself, or by the microbes naturally present in the gut. However,
The salivary glands of insects like the cockroach, red cotton bug, and honeybee play vital roles in feeding, digestion, and, in some cases, communication or
The sympathetic nervous system in cockroaches and Gryllus (crickets) belongs to their overall nervous system and is part of the visceral nervous system, responsible for
The red cotton bug (Dysdercus cingulatus), commonly found in cotton-growing regions, has specialized digestive and reproductive systems adapted to its diet of plant sap, primarily
The butterfly has specialized digestive and reproductive systems adapted to its nectar-feeding diet and reproductive cycle. Here’s an overview of each system: 1. Digestive System
The grasshopper (Orthoptera order) has well-adapted digestive and reproductive systems that support its herbivorous diet and high reproductive rate. Here’s an overview of both systems:
The field cricket (Gryllus spp.) has a digestive and reproductive system adapted to its omnivorous diet and reproductive strategy. Here’s a breakdown of both systems:
