The Effect of Raw Soybean Levels in the Diet on the Proteolytic Activity and Pancreatic Hypertrophy in the Growing Chick
Zafrira Nitsan,Eugenia Alumot +1 more
TL;DR: To study how and to what extent the proportion of RSM in rations of constant protein level affects the proteolytic activity in the chick’s small intestine and the pancreatic hypertrophy, and to find out whether these two factors are related to the low growth rate and feed efficiency.

Comparison of ruminal and post-ruminal digestion of a concentrate feed in the young calf
TL;DR: Pre-ruminant calves were pair-fed a concentrate feed in either liquid form (LC) from a nipple bottle or in dry form (DC) and the effects of these two forms of feed on body weight gain, feed utilization, digestibility, digestive enzyme secretion and volatile fatty acids in the rumen liquor were studied.
Availability of Amino Acids from Soybean, Corn, and Milo for Goslings
Zafrira Nitsan,A. Dvorin,I. Nir +2 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the availability of amino acids from soybean meal, corn, and milo was determined in growing goslings, and the mean absorption of the different amino acids was 93.7% for soybean, 87.4% for corn and 77.6% for milo.

Effect of urea on growth, food utilisation and body composition of chicks.
I. Bruckental,Zafrira Nitsan +1 more
TL;DR: Urea-nitrogen was utilised better for growth when the diets were supplemented with methionine rather than unsupplemented, and body fat content was decreased with the increase in protein content of the diet.

Muscle growth and composition in heavy and light breed chickens adapted to intermittent feeding.
TL;DR: The rapid growth of breast muscle in HB chickens was attributed to the higher rate of protein synthesis (estimated by RNA:DNA ratio) compared with LB chickens, which may also explain why the breast muscle of LB chickens was less sensitive to intermittent feeding than that of HB chickens.
