Download or read book Amino Acids in Nutrition and Health written by Guoyao Wu and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-03-26 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amino acids (AAs) are not only building blocks of protein, but are also signalling molecules as well as regulators of gene expression and the protein phosphorylation cascade. Additionally, AAs are key precursors for syntheses of hormones and low-molecular weight nitrogenous substances with each having enormous biological importance. For example, physiological concentrations of AA metabolites (e.g., nitric oxide, polyamines, glutathione, taurine, thyroid hormones, and serotonin) are required for cell functions. Growing evidence shows that humans and animals have dietary requirements for all proteinogenic AAs. Mammals, birds and fish also have species- and age-dependent needs for some AA-related substances. However, elevated levels of other products (e.g., ammonia, homocysteine, H2S, and asymmetric dimethylarginine) are pathogenic factors for neurological disorders, oxidative stress, and cardiovascular disease. Thus, optimal amounts of AAs and their ratios in diets and circulation are crucial for whole body homeostasis and health. Adequate provision of one or a mixture of functional AAs or metabolites may be beneficial for ameliorating health problems at various stages of the life cycle (e.g., fetal growth restriction, neonatal morbidity and mortality, weaning-associated intestinal dysfunction and wasting syndrome, obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, the metabolic syndrome, and infertility). Dietary supplementation of these nutrients can also optimize the efficiency of metabolic transformations to enhance muscle growth, milk production, and athletic performance, while preventing excess fat deposition and reducing adiposity. Therefore, functional AAs hold great promise in improving the growth, health and well-being of individuals.

Download or read book The Food Value and Uses of Poultry Classic Reprint written by Helen Woodard Atwater and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Food Value and Uses of Poultry Some idea of the extent of the poultry industry in the United States can be obtained from the figures of the last census. Of all the farms giving returns in 1909, per cent reported poultry of some kind. The total number of chickens reported was turkeys, guinea fowls, pigeons, ducks, and geese, Although many chickens are kept for their eggs rather than their flesh, nearly all of them are finally eaten, and almost all of the other kinds are bred primarily for the table. Allowing for increased production since the figures quoted [were gathered, it is safe to say that chickens and other poultry, or about three birds to a person, are now consumed in this country every year.

Download or read book Advances in Poultry Nutrition Research written by Amlan Kumar Patra and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2021-07-07 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to the wide acceptance of poultry meat and eggs, poultry farming is the fastest growing global livestock industry. Nutrition plays a vital role in economic production and the maintenance of proper poultry health. Therefore, there is a great need to update balanced nutrient requirements for new breeds, utilize alternative feed resources, evaluate newer feed additives to optimize production while excluding antimicrobial feed additives and maintain overall health. The first section of this book contains six chapters that discuss the utilization of unconventional feeds, nanominerals to reduce mineral proportions in diets, and water intake affected by environmental temperature. The second section contains six chapters that describe proper nutritional management to improve gut health and immunity, the prevention of common diseases, and the amelioration of heat stress in poultry.

Download or read book Spirulina Platensis in Poultry Nutrition written by Hosna Hajati and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-01-06 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, due to the high population of human beings, scientists are increasingly concerned with food shortages and searching for alternative sources of dietary protein, such as algae, insects, and worms. Spirulina represents a superior alternative source, as it has a high nutrient content without toxicity, and can be reared in many countries worldwide. Given the limited amount of studies on the advantages and disadvantages of using Spirulina in birds’ diets, this book fills an important research gap. It highlights the nutritional aspects of using Spirulina in poultry diets, and will appeal to animal husbandry and veterinary students, professors, feed formulators, poultry production consultants and farmers.
