Modelos de curvas de deshidratado de plátano roatan en verde (Musa acuminata).
Provedor de dados: 32
Autores: Pérez Prado, José Adán.
El plátano es el frutal en segundo lugar en importancia económica en México, el 95% se destina al consumo nacional y el 5% restante a la exportación. No obstante, las pérdidas por manejo postcosecha justifican buscar métodos para conservarlo. El plátano presenta cambios en volumen debido al intercambio de calor y masa, por lo que decrece su superficie bajo la contracción de los tejidos por pérdida parcial de agua. En consecuencia, todos los parámetros que dependen de cambios de dimensión interna y externa, requieren del uso de modelos de simulación mediante curvas de secado que nos permitan describir dicho comportamiento en los alimentos. Por lo anterior, el presente trabajo presenta una serie de modelos de regresión (exponencial, lineal, logarítmico y...

Production of an extracellular keratinase from Chryseobacterium sp. growing on raw feathers
Provedor de dados: 69
Autores: Brandelli,Adriano; Riffel,Alessandro.
The strain Chryseobacterium sp. kr6 shown to be useful for biotechnological purposes such as hydrolysis of poultry feathers and de-hairing of bovine pelts. The effect of temperature, initial pH and media composition on protease production by this keratinolytic strain was studied. The enzyme was produced between 25 and 37ºC, with maximum activity and yield at 30ºC. When protease production was tested in media with different initial pH, maximum activity was observed when cultivation was carried out at 30ºC and initial pH ranging from 6.0 to 8.0. Higher activity was observed when feathers or feather meal were used as growth substrates, followed by soybean meal. The addition of carbohydrates or surfactants to feather broth resulted in decrease in keratinolytic...

Carbohydrate metabolism of Xylella fastidiosa: Detection of glycolytic and pentose phosphate pathway enzymes and cloning and expression of the enolase gene
Provedor de dados: 74
Autores: Facincani,Agda Paula; Ferro,Jesus Aparecido; Pizauro Jr.,João Martins; Pereira Jr.,Haroldo Alves; Lemos,Eliana Gertrudes de Macedo; Prado,Alessandro Luis do; Ferro,Maria Inês T.
The objective of this work was to assess the functionality of the glycolytic pathways in the bacterium Xylella fastidiosa. To this effect, the enzymes phosphoglucose isomerase, aldolase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and pyruvate kinase of the glycolytic pathway, and glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase of the Entner-Doudoroff pathway were studied, followed by cloning and expression studies of the enolase gene and determination of its activity. These studies showed that X. fastidiosa does not use the glycolytic pathway to metabolize carbohydrates, which explains the increased duplication time of this phytopatogen. Recombinant enolase was expressed as inclusion bodies and solubilized with urea (most efficient extractor), Triton X-100, and TCA....

Assessment of biochemical methods to detect enzymatic depolymerization of polysaccharides
Provedor de dados: 5
Autores: Rigouin, Coraline; Delbarre Ladrat, Christine; Sinquin, Corinne; Colliec-jouault, Sylvia; Dion, M.
To find biocatalyst allowing depolymerization of new polysaccharides, one needs to get a sensitive and well adapted method to a screening program. This led us to compare biochemical methods of detection of the depolymerization. Currently used methods such as reducing sugars assays, double bond monitoring or molecular weight determination were tested to follow the kinetic of depolymerization with different enzyme / polysaccharide couples. The range of concentrations of assorted enzymes allowed us to identify the most sensitive and appropriate method to detect polysaccharide degradation. Reducing sugars assays are quantitative, sensitive and almost usable with all kind of polysaccharide but some compounds may interfere with them. When polysaccharide is...

Adaptation du métabolisme respiratoire de l'huître creuse Crassostrea gigas
Provedor de dados: 5
Autores: Le Moullac, Gilles.
Summer mortality of the oyster result from the interaction of many factors. A respiratory assumption proposes a link between the supposed causes of the energy state, the cultivation methods and the medium. This work is focused towards the search for specific metabolic markers of environmental stresses. The cDNA of genes coding for PK and PEPCK were cloned and sequenced in order to detect their regulation level. The sediment nearness affects the state of energy reserves, the metabolic pathways of energy production implying a regulation of the PK. Face to the dissolved oxygen decline, oysters were oxyregulator but with a low regulation ability. In hypoxia, glycolysis was slowed down. PK activity was inhibited resulting from an increase in alanine sensitivity...

Comparison of growth, digestive system maturation and skeletal development in sea bass larvae reared in an intensive or a mesocosm system
Provedor de dados: 5
Autores: Zouiten, Dora; Ben Khemis, Ines; Masmoudi, Ahmed Slaheddin; Huelvan, Christine; Cahu, Chantal.
The quality of development in intensive or mesocosm hatchery-reared Dicentrarchus labrax larvae was investigated using physiological indicators assessing ontogeny. Larvae were reared in intensive (120 L tanks) and in mesocosm systems (20 m(3) enclosures) with the same feeding sequence, excluding the wild zooplankton naturally available in mesocosms. Faster growth was recorded since early development [16 day after hatching (DAH)] in the mesocosm. Maturation of the digestive system also occurred earlier as indicated by the higher amylase secretion ratios, the intestinal maturation index (alkaline phosphatase/leucine-alanine peptidase and aminopeptidase-N/leucine-alanine peptidase ratios) and the more developed intestinal epithelium at 23 DAH. Nevertheless,...

Autores: Zykwinska, Agata; Berre, Ludivine Tripon-le; Sinquin, Corinne; Ropartz, David; Rogniaux, Helene; Colliec-jouault, Sylvia; Delbarre-ladrat, Christine.
Polysaccharides have attracted much attention due to their interesting physico-chemical and also biological properties that are explored in food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. GY785 exopolysaccharide (EPS) presenting an unusual structure is secreted by the deep-sea hydrothermal bacterium, Alteromonas infernus. Low-molecular weight (LMW) derivatives obtained by chemical depolymerization of the native high molecular weight (HMW) EPS were previously shown to exhibit biological properties similar to glycosaminoglycans (GAG). In the present study, in order to generate well defined derivatives with a better control of the depolymerization, an enzymatic approach was applied for the first time. Various commercially available enzymes were firstly screened...

Autores: Hauville, Marion; Zambonino, Jose Luiz; Bell, G; Migaud, Herve; Main, Kevan L.
In this study, three microdiets were tested on weaning of Florida pompano larvae: Otohime, Gemma and a reference diet LR803. The experimental system was stocked with 11-day-old larvae, which were co-fed micro-diets and live food from 11 dph to 17 dph then micro-diets only until 28 dph. Survival from 11 dph to 28 dph was similar for all treatments, with an average of 33%. At the end of the trial, the Gemma larvae were significantly longer and heavier than larvae fed the other diets. Significant differences were observed in fatty acid composition of the diets and larvae between treatments. The Gemma larvae incorporated the lowest amount of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid (ARA). However, they had the highest...

Provedor de dados: 5
Autores: Kechaou, Emna; Berge, Jean-pascal; Jaouen, Pascal; Ben Amar, Raja.
Protein hydrolysate was prepared from common cuttlefish Sepia officinalis by Pepsin. Hydrolysis conditions (time, temperature, and enzyme activity) were optimized by response surface methodology (RSM) using a factorial design. The regression coefficient was close to 0.999, observed during both experimental and validation runs, and indicated the validity of prediction model. An enzyme activity to substrate ratio (X1), 0.04 AU/g protein; time (X2), 85 minutes; and temperature (X3), 45 °C were found to be the optimum conditions for a higher degree of hydrolysis (21%) and nitrogen recovery (90%) using Pepsin. According to amino acid analysis results and chemical score, methionine and histidine are the limiting amino acids in the hydrolysates, in that order....

De l'utilisation de protéases industrielles pour la production de sauces de poisson
Provedor de dados: 5
Autores: Le, Minh Chau.
Fish sauces are traditionally used in most Asian countries. Whatever the process, the principle is the same i.e. a fish autolysis in saline media followed by a fermentation step. Not less than 18 months are needed to obtain a brown liquid rich in salt and amino acids. This PhD work aims to determine if an addition of proteases can speed up the process while keeping the nutritional and sensorial properties. The first chapter presents the characteristics of fish sauces and the key parameters of the processes used. In the second chapter, several industrial proteases are compared each other for their capacity to liquefy the fishes in hyper saline conditions. Kinetics of proteolysis and biochemical characteristics of the resulting hydrolysates are established...

Attendrissement enzymatique de chair de mollusques
Provedor de dados: 5
Autores: Kouadio Kouakou, François.
Two types of marine molluscs were studied. The highly individual characteristics of the flesh of these two shellfish, in this case its firmness, led us to analyse the behaviour of the foot muscle, the firmest part, as a function of heat and to the determination of the different temperatures at which the denaturation of the main constituent proteins occurs. This firmness makes the muscles difficult to chew to such an extent that they have acted as a break to consumption.  These shell-fish have very similar proportions of myofibrillar and connective proteins, both of- which are responsible for the texture of meat. This similarity of composition determined the choice of an enzymatic preparation (protease V100) capable of acting simultaneously on both these...

The Bread making qualities of bread dough supplemented with whole wheat flour and treated with enzymes
Provedor de dados: 19
Autores: Matsushita, Koki; Santiago, Dennis Marvin; Noda, Tatsuya; Tsuboi, Kazumasa; Kawakami, Sakura; Yamauchi, Hiroaki.
Whole wheat flour (WWF) contains various kinds of functional ingredients, such as dietary fiber, resistant starch, minerals, etc., and bread containing WWF is in great demand in many countries because of its health benefits. Although dough with WWF often results in lower quality bread, previous studies suggested that this could be improved by the addition of suitable enzymes. This study investigated the effects of WWF substitution and enzyme treatments using alpha-amylase (AM) and hemicellulase (HC) on bread making qualities. Results showed that the addition of WWF produced dough with low gas retention of dough (GRD) and specific loaf volume (SLV). However, AM and HC drastically improved both GRD and SLV of WWF-substituted dough and bread by degrading...

Resistance to ACCase inhibitors in Eleusine indica from Brazil involves a target site mutation
Provedor de dados: 87
Autores: Osuna,M.D.; Goulart,I.C.G.R.; Vidal,R.A.; Kalsing,A.; Ruiz Santaella,J.P.; De Prado,R.
Eleusine indica (goosegrass) is a diploid grass weed which has developed resistance to ACCase inhibitors during the last ten years due to the intensive and frequent use of sethoxydim to control grass weeds in soybean crops in Brazil. Plant dose-response assays confirmed the resistant behaviour of one biotype obtaining high resistance factor values: 143 (fenoxaprop), 126 (haloxyfop), 84 (sethoxydim) to 58 (fluazifop). ACCase in vitro assays indicated a target site resistance as the main cause of reduced susceptibility to ACCase inhibitors. PCR-generated fragments of the ACCase CT domain of the resistant and sensitive reference biotype were sequenced and compared. A point mutation was detected within the triplet of aspartate at the amino acid position 2078...

The Role of ß-Mannanase (Hemicell) in Improving Poultry Productivity, Health and Environment
Provedor de dados: 89
Autores: Saeed,M; Ayaşan,T; Alagawany,M; El-Hack,MEA; Abdel-Latif,MA; Patra,AK.
ABSTRACT The poultry nutritionists constantly attempt to identify and alleviate the factors responsible for adverse effects on nutrient utilization and production performance in avian species, which are necessary for successful productivity of poultry. Enhanced feed utilization can reduce levels of some nutrients in the diet with concomitant mitigation in nutrient excretion into the environment, reduction of eutrophication and acidification potentials of excreta. Commercial enzymes have been used to improve feed efficiency and utilization in poultry. Among many anti-nutritional factors, the existence of ß-mannans in poultry feed ingredients including soybean and other leguminous seeds has been associated with negative effects on nutrient digestibility and...

Chicken serologic response to Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium assessed by Elisa
Provedor de dados: 89
Autores: Oliveira,GH; Berchieri Jr,A; Montassier,HJ.
This study evaluated two enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) in the detection of chicken serologic response against Salmonella enterica sorotype Typhimurium. The assays have used as detecting antigen the soluble bacterial proteins of a non-flagellated strain of Salmonella Typhimurium (AgTM), and antibody conjugated to peroxidase or alkaline phosphatase. According to the results, optimal dilutions of antigen (concentration 5.49 mg/mL) and serum samples in both assays were 1:20,000 and 1:1,000, respectively. In such conditions, the ELISA/AgTM was able to detect serological response to Salmonella Typhimurium. Cross-reactions to Salmonella serotypes Gallinarum and Pullorum were seen, but not with other serotypes such as Enteritidis.

Provedor de dados: 89
Autores: Carlos,TC de F; Barbosa,LCGS; Shiroma,NN; Dari,RL; Baolin,G; Yongcheng,W; Araújo,CS da S; Araújo,LF.
The objective of the study was to evaluate the effects of a heat-resistant bacterial phytase added to pelleted diets on mineral digestibility, live performance, carcass traits, and bone quality of broilers. Three treatments were evaluated: Positive control; negative control, with 0.10 points reduction in calcium level and 0.15 points reduction in available phosphorus level; and negative control + phytase at 500 FTU/kg. Mineral digestibility and bone quality results demonstrated that the evaluated phytase resisted pelleting as it increased the utilization of the minerals present in the diet.

Autores: Afonso,Esther Ramalho; Nacimento,Rafael Araujo; Palhares,Julio Cesar Pascale; Gameiro,Augusto Hauber.
ABSTRACT The objective with this study was to evaluate the impact of different swine nutritional strategies and technologies, as well as the land spread system, on logistical costs of pig manure distribution. For this, pigs were fed a conventional diet (C0) or a diet supplemented with 0.01% phytase (C1); organic minerals (40% substitution; C2); synthetic amino acids at reduced dietary crude protein levels (C3); or a combination of the three strategies (C4). All pig manure was weighed, then its chemical composition was determined. The mineral values and volume of manure produced were extrapolated to corresponding pig farm sizes in Sao Paulo state (300, 650, and 1000 sows) from real pig manure levels to produce simulations.

ABSTRACT We evaluated the effects of a protease supplementation on the growth performance and intestinal health of broilers. Cobb chicks (392; 1-42 d) were divided into four treatments (seven replicates of 14 birds each). There were two feed formulations: a standard diet (SD) and a low crude protein and digestible amino acids diet (Low CP&amp;AA). The two diets were either supplemented (+P) or not (−P) with a protease (Jefo Protease; 1.25 g kg−1). Performance was evaluated by feeding phases (1-7, 8-21, 21-35, and 35-42 d). On day 28, ileum samples were analyzed by a morphometric index for histological alterations (I See Inside Scoring System – ISI). Broilers fed the Low CP&amp;AA had a poor feed conversion ratio (FCR); however, the addition of the protease...

ABSTRACT Silicon (Si) has beneficial effects on many crops, mainly under biotic and abiotic stress. Silicon can affect biochemical, physiological, and photosynthetic processes and, consequently, reduce drought stress. However, the effects of Si on rice (Oryza sativa L.) plants under drought stress are not well known. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of supplemental Si on proline content and peroxidase activity in upland rice plants in the presence and absence of drought stress. The experiment was conducted under greenhouse conditions and was arranged in completely randomized blocks in a 2 x 2 x 2 factorial scheme. Treatments comprised combinations of (1) presence or absence of Si supply (0 or 350 kg ha-1 of Si), (2) presence or...

Twenty-nine Schizaphis graminum (Rondani) populations and sixty clones collected from very contrasting regions of Argentina and Chile were investigated electrophoretically. A high degree of enzymatic polymorphism was found. The enzymatic structure was described for the esterase system, finding nine different loci. Latitudinal stratification was determined and populations were associated into three groups, according to the latitude they were collected from. The 90% of loci resulted polymorphic in the first group and 100% of loci were polymorphic in the rest. Observed heterozygosity was lower than expected. No group had fixed alleles according to Fsr values; group one had a slight heterozygous excess, while the other groups showed slight positive Fsr values,...

Nitrate reductase activity in leaves and stems of tanner grass (Brachiaria radicans Napper)
Provedor de dados: 63
Autores: Cazetta,Jairo Osvaldo; Villela,Luciana Cristine Vasques.
Tanner grass (Brachiaria radicans Napper) is a forage plant that is adapted to well-drained soils or wetlands, and responds well to nitrogen (N) fertilization. The assimilation of N involves the nitrate reductase (NR) enzyme, and its activity seems to be dependent on N supply. Molybdenum (Mo) is also important because it is a cofactor of NR. In this study, the variables of an in vivo assay were optimized for measuring nitrate reductase activity (NRA) in the leaves and stem tissues. This method was used to evaluate NO3- metabolism in plants fertilized with NaNO3, NH4Cl or urea, in association with or without application of H2MoO4, aiming to provide guidelines for N management of this species. The best conditions to determine NRA involved the incubation of...

Provedor de dados: 111
Autores: Dabhi, Mukesh N.; Sangani, V P; Rathod, P J.
GJP1 variety is newly developed variety of pigeon pea. It gives higher seed yield as compared to other varieties. Pigeon pea is mostly consumed in the form of splits hence, it is necessary to verify its hulling efficiency and utmost dhal recovery. Pre milling treatments are generally employed to loosen the seed coat to remove husk without losing any edible portion and better dhal recovery.  Xylanase, pectinase and cellulose enzymes were used to evaluate the milling properties of pigeon pea grains. Efforts were made to evaluate the effect of enzymatic parameters, i.e., enzyme concentration (20-50 mg/100g dry matter), incubation time (4-12 h), incubation temperature (35-55 oC) and tempering water pH (4.0-6.0) on hulling efficiency were optimized using...

Inactivation of yeast inorganic pyrophosphatase by organic solvents
Provedor de dados: 42
Autores: Grazinoli-Garrido,Rodrigo; Sola-Penna,Mauro.
A number of application for enzymes in organic solvents have been developed in chemical processing, food related conversions and analyses. The only unsolved problem related to nonaqueous enzymology is the notion that enzymes in organic solvent are mostly far less active than in water. Therefore, studies concerning the mechanisms by which enzymes are inactivated by organic solvents would reveal a clear understanding of the structure-function relationship of this phenomenon. Here we analyzed the effects of a series of alcohols (methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol and 2-propanol) and acetone on the activity of yeast inorganic pyrophosphatase. We observed that solvents inactivated the enzyme in a dose-dependent manner. This inactivation is also dependent on the...

Autores: HERMANN,KATIA L.; COSTA,ALESSANDRA; HELM,CRISTIANE V.; LIMA,EDSON A. DE; TAVARES,LORENA B.B.
The production of ethanol from lignocellulosic biomass is referred as a second generation biofuel, whose processing is one of the most promising technologies under development. There are few available studies on the use of enzymes produced by fungi as active for the biodegradation of lignocellulosic biomass. However, the manganese peroxidase (MnP) enzyme presents high potential to degrade lignin and the basidiomycetes are the major producers of this oxidase. Thus, this study aimed at evaluating the ability of fungi Lentinula edodes and Lentinula boryana to produce this enzyme when cultivated in submerged fermentation system (SS) and also in solid-state fermentation system (SSF) containing Eucalyptus benthamii sawdust with or without corn cob meal. In the...

Comparisons Between Different Methods in Measuring Enzyme Similarity for Metabolic Network Alignment
Provedor de dados: 52
Autores: Zhou,Wenwei; Liu,Jiangtao; Xing,Hiu; Zhang,Zhengdong; Xie,Xiaoyao; Jing,Fengxuan.
Metabolic network alignments enable comparison of the similarities and differences between pathways in two metabolic networks and help to uncover the conserved sub-blocks therein. Such analysis is important in the understanding of metabolic networks and species evolution. The fundamental parts of metabolic network alignment algorithms all involve comparisons of the similarity between two enzymes as a similarity measure of network nodes. As a result, the study of methods for measuring enzyme similarity becomes highly relevant. Currently, two approaches are mainly used to measure enzyme similarity. One of the methods is based on similarity measures of gene or protein sequences; the other is based on enzyme classification. In this study, multiple metabolic...

Autores: Aguiar,Mario Mamede; Ferreira,Luiz Fernando Romanholo; Monteiro,Regina Teresa Rosim.
In this present work, three strains of Pleurotus and Trichoderma reesei were cultivated in media with pre-treated bagasse and vinasse. Cellulolytic and lignolytic activities and biomass production were analyzed. The treatment of the bagasse with 2% H2O2 + 1.5% NaOH + autoclave resulted in a greater fiber breakage increasing the cellulose level up to 1.2 times and decreasing 8.5 times the hemicellulose content. This treatment also resulted in a high lignolytic activity for all cultures utilized. T. reesei produced laccase, peroxidase and manganese-peroxidase in all the treatments, having its manganese-peroxidase activity raging from 1.9 to 4.8 times higher than the basidiomycetes.

Autores: Gasparotto,Elainy Patrícia Lino; Abrão,Sorrailla Carolina Carrard; Inagaki,Suely Yaeko; Tessmann,Dauri José; Kemmelmeier,Carlos; Tessmann,Ione Parra Barbosa.
A screening aimed to find new galactose oxidase producer isolates and to evaluate the production among Fusarium graminearum strains was conducted. Thirty-five isolates out of 39 analysed produced the enzyme at several levels. The data indicated a wide distribution of galactose oxidase within F. graminearum and also revealed new producer isolates. The enzyme produced by different isolates showed similar thermal activity and stability and were active on same substrates. However, the optimum pH ranged from 7.0 to 7.5. Thus, all evaluated isolates were suitable for the production of galactose oxidase.

Substrate and product concentration data obtained by simulating enzyme-substrate reaction rate equations were used to test two proposed kinetic rate constant estimation techniques in this study. In the first technique, the turnover number, k3, was calculated using early transient time domain data, which are difficult to obtain experimentally. The technique used an iterative approach to calculate k3 with a pair of data and the value of k3 could be retrieved with 35% error. The second technique calculated k3 using stationary domain data and the value of k3 could be retrieved with less than 5% error. This second technique also offered internal consistency in the calculation of k3 by calculating k3 both from the intercept and the slope of the linear plot...

The reduction of the available phosphorus (avP) content in the broiler diet must be followed by the supplementation of adequate phytase. One experiment was conducted with broilers from 15 to 28 days of age to determine the level of necessary phytase when the mashed diet is formulated with 0.213% of avP to enable the results of performance, tibia ash content, and calcium (Ca) utilization similar to those determined for birds fed with diet formulated to meet their nutritional requirements. Thus, 120 broilers were distributed in (4+1) x2 factorial arrangement corresponding to four deficient diets in avP (0.213%) supplemented with phytase (0; 750; 1,500 or 2,250FTU kg-1) plus one positive control diet without phytase (0.426% of avP), supplied to male and...

The aim of this study was to evaluate carcass characteristics and quality of breast meat after the inclusion of phytase in broiler diets with different levels of apparent metabolizable energy (AMEn) corrected for nitrogen and reduced crude protein (CP) supplemented with essential amino acids following the concept of ideal protein. A total of 1,500 Cobb broilers from 22 to 42 days (initial weight of 833 ± 7 g and final weight of 2741 ± 48 g) were distributed in completely randomized design in a factorial 3x3+1 experiment (three levels of AMEn - 2,950; 3,100 and 3,250 kcal/kg - and three levels of CP - 14, 16 and 18% - and an additional treatment - control without phytase, with 3,100 kcal/kg EMAn, 19.2% PB and 0.4% available phosphorus), in six replications...

It was intended with the present work to verify the effect of phytase on the performance, bone mineralization and content of plasma urea of swine. 80 swine (30 ± 3.1 kg/LW), crossbred (LD x LW) males and females, allocated to a randomized block design (RBD) with four treatments and five replicates. The treatments consisted of a growing swine diet on the basis of corn, soybean meal and defatted rice bran (DRB) supplemented with four levels of phytase (0, 400, 800 and 1200 FTU/kg) The diet was formulated to meet the requirements of growing swine except for available calcium and phosphorus, the levels of which were 0.64 and 0.25%, respectively. The enzyme phytase utilized was Natuphos 5000. Over the experimental period every eight days, blood of two animals...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of reduced-crude protein (CP) and available phosphorus (aP) diets, added with phytase and amino acids for broilers in the growing (14 to 21 days old) and retirement (35 to 42 days) phases on nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus balance. Ninety Cobb broilers were distributed in a completely randomized design with three treatments and six replications with five and three birds per experimental unit in the growing and retirement phases, respectively. Diets were elaborated to contain reduced CP and aP levels (19 and 17% CP in the growing phase, with 0.34% aP; and 18 and 16% CP in the retirement phase, with 0.30% aP), supplemented with crystalline amino acids and 500 FTU of phytase/kg diet. These were...
