Therefore, strategies to reduce human-edible inputs in dairy cow feeding are needed to improve food efficiency.
Secondary outcome variables included food efficiency (defined as weight gain divided by caloric intake), weight gain at 4 weeks of age, time to regain birth weight and length of stay.
This study sought answering the two following questions: (i) which combinations of factors allow improving growth, food efficiency, and technological, sensorial and nutritional qualities?
PM1 significantly (P < 0.05) reduced body weight, food efficiency ratio, plasma glucose, triglycerides and inhibited plasma DPP-IV, while increasing insulin levels in C57BL/KsJ-db/db mice.
ZnLO animals had decreased food efficiency ratios compared to both phytase-supplemented (ZnLO+P) and Zn-adequate (ZnAD) animals (P<.01 compared to ZnLO).
Long-term consumption of Con A reduced food efficiency suggesting the alteration of the digestion/absorption function of the intestine in the presence of lectin.
He also claims that the technology has a definite green potential in that it can increase the food efficiency of the herd, by bringing to the fore animals who require less feeding and produce less waste, thus reducing their environmental footprint.
Catch-up growth in adult resulted in an increase in intramuscular and intrahepatic lipid content, visceral fat deposition, and insulin resistance, which is consistent with a transient rise in food efficiency during the early stage of refeeding.
for 21 days and were evaluated for parameters such as food efficiency ratio, oral glucose tolerance test, inhibition of plasma dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV), metabolic markers, pancreas histology and hematological profile.
