Tb38: Utilization Of Amino Acids From Protein By The Growing Rat: Efficiency Of Carcass Protein Formation, Frederick H. Radke, Herman Dehaas, Richard A. Cook

Technical Bulletins

Ten experiment stations in the Northeast have cooperated in investigating three sources of amino acids (pure amino acids, milk protein and wheat gluten) at two levels (1.2% and 1.6% dietary nitrogen) with different subjects (humans, rats, pigs and protozoa) under different conditions (growth, maintenance and stress) in order to study availability of amino acids in protein. The publication describes the effect of the three nitrogen sources containing equal amounts of essential amino acids and nitrogen on the growth of rats over two and four weeks.

Tb40: Effect Of Dietary Changes On The Tissue Composition Of Rats, Frederick H. Radke, Herman Dehaas, Eileen K. Gabrielson

Technical Bulletins

The following experiments were done to study the effects of both long-term and day-by-day dietary changes of fat and protein on tissue fat and serum cholesterol levels.

The Pig's Need For Minerals, N W. Godfrey

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

Only 16 of the one hundred odd chemical elements known are considered to be essential mineral elements for pigs.

As some of these are required in much smaller quantities than others, they are referred to as trace or minor elements, while the remainder are called major elements.
