Effects Of Source And Concentrations Of Nitrogen And Carbohydrate On Ruminal Microbial Protein Synthesis, M. Aki̇f Karsli, James R. Russell
Effects Of Source And Concentrations Of Nitrogen And Carbohydrate On Ruminal Microbial Protein Synthesis, M. Aki̇f Karsli, James R. Russell
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
The objective of this review was to discuss microbial protein synthesis and the effects of sources and concentrations of nitrogen and carbohydrate on microbial protein synthesis. Even though ammonia-N is a satisfactory source of nitrogen for the growth of the majority of rumen microbes, substitution of intact protein for urea usually stimulates ruminal microbial protein synthesis. While protein sources high in degradable intake protein (DIP), such as soybean meal, appear to have properties that optimize microbial protein synthesis, protein sources low in DIP, such as fish meal, appear to limit microbial protein synthesis apparantly because of the low ruminal digestibility …

The Application Of Hypoxanthine Activity As A Quality Indicator Of Cold Stored Fish Burgers, Sühendan Mol, Nuray Erkan, Candan Varlik
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
Seafoods are very perishable, and many different methods are used for the determination of their quality. Sensory and hypoxanthine values of cold stored trout burgers, which we prepared, were determined during a 28-day period. Burgers spoiled after the 21st day of storage. The TVB-N values were still very low when the burgers spoiled and the pH values decreased during their storage. Therefore total volatile bases nitrogen and pH analyses were not useful for the determination of the quality of trout burgers. There was a negative correlation between the sensory and the hypoxanthine values during the storage period. Thus, hypoxanthine analysis …
