The results of the comparative study of yak blood parameters by amino-acid composition depending on the season of the year are presented. The research was conducted in the Republic of Tuva. The object of research were adult female yaks after the fi rst or more calving. The studied animals were at the pasture in the highlands all year round. The material of the research was whole blood stabilized by heparin and yak serum. Blood was taken in spring and autumn from the jugular vein. The determination of blood biochemical parameters and the biometric processing of the results were carried out by generally accepted methods. 14 amino acids were revealed. Of these, seven are non-essential amino acids (asparagine, serine, glutamine, glycine, alanine, histidine, arginine) and seven are essential (threonine, valine, methionine, isoleucine, leucine, phenylalanine, lysine). The amino-acid content in the blood of yaks living in highlands under low partial pressure did not vary signifi cantly during the study period. The content of non-essential and essential amino acids was recorded in the ratio of 50 : 50, regardless of the season of the year. In autumn, compared to spring, serine content increased 2.43 times, asparagine –1.05 times, valine – 1.07, leucine – 1.07 times. An increase in phenylalanine in the autumn period may indicate its suffi cient content in grass eaten by yaks. Features of the interior indicators of yaks, common in the Republic of Tuva, are the result of their long year-round pasture maintenance in extreme climatic conditions of the highlands.

<p><span lang="EN-US">The aim of the research is to assess the amino acid composition of veal from different genotype bull-calves concerning the usage in baby food production. A comparative analysis of the essential amino acids content in meat of calves of <span>black-and-white motley breed,</span> Aberdeen Angus breed and black and white crossbreeds grown according to the traditional technology of dairy cattle breeding hasn’t showed any significant differences. However, some differences were observed for each separate amino acid. Although the difference in amino acids was 2. 9% in favor of <span>black-and-white motley breed</span>. According to the amino acid composition, the calves meat of Charolais breed is biologically more complete than the Aberdeen Angus calves meat of the first generation in the valine content by 7.4%, isoleucine by 45.3% (P &lt;0.001), leucine by 15.2% (P &lt;0.001), lysine by 7.8%, threonine and phenylalanine + tyrosine by 6.5% (P &lt;0.05) and 7.5% (P &lt;0.01), respectively. Amino acid content was limited by the sum of amino acids phenylalanine + tyrosine (80.2%) in purebreds and methionine + cystine (83.4%) in <span>crossbreeds</span>. The other amino acids content was more than 100%; it indicates a high biological and nutritional value of veal. In the first experiment, the degree of compliance with the norms of a balanced diet is 37.4-38.2%. The human body's need for such essential amino acids as valine, isoleucine, phenylalanine + tyrosine is satisfied for more than 20%; the human body's need for leucine, lysine, and threoni9ne is satisfied for more than 30%. Veal of the Charolaise young is distinguished by higher indicators. The degree of its compliance with the norms of a balanced diet is 43.8% against 37.6% in hybrid calves. It is proved that veal obtained from young animals of different breeds in ecologically clean zones has a high biological and nutritional value, it corresponds to the indices for meat raw materials for baby food in accordance with Sanitary Norms 11-63 RB98.</span></p>

Dried stevia leaves (Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni) were used as objects of research. We studied the leaves of stevia varieties Ramon sweetener grown in the Penza region, the leaves of stevia varieties Ramon sweetener grown in the Tver region, Krasnodar region, the Republic of Crimea, as well as imported raw stevia from India and Paraguay. The purpose of this work is a comparative study of the amino acid composition of raw stevia grown in different conditions. The amino acid composition of stevia leaves (Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni) was revealed by capillary electrophoresis.13 amino acids were identified, of which eight are "essential" (lysine, phenylalanine, histidine, leucine, isoleucine, methionine, valine, threonine). The proportion of essential amino acids in stevia raw materials ranged from 2.99 to 4.64%. The content of interchangeable acids was: tyrosine from 0.24% to 0.36%, Proline from 0.44 to 0.68%, serine from 0.77 to 1.03%, alanine from 0.48 to 0.83%, glycine from 0.40 to 0.68%. The total amount of amino acids detected is higher in the Ramon sweetener variety grown in the Penza region (9.52%) compared to other samples, the lowest amount is found in stevia grown in Paraguay (6.46%). The results obtained indicate the prospects for further studies of the amino acid composition of Stevia rebaudiana and can characterize this species as a source of valuable medicinal substances with a wide range of pharmacological activity.

The object of the study was partially skimmed fruits (meal) of milk Thistle [Silybum marianum (L.) Gaertn.], growing on the territory of the Republic of Dagestan. The aim of the study was to determine the protein content in the meal of milk Thistle fruits and its amino acid composition; assessment of the biological value of the studied protein. It was found that partially skimmed fruits of milk Thistle contain 21.72% protein, which is about 2 times more than the seeds of grain crops. The composition of milk Thistle protein by ion exchange and liquid chromatography identified and quantified 18 amino acids, including all essential amino acids, which account for 30.11% of the protein. In the composition of the protein in greater quantities than in the protein standard found essential amino acids: phenylalanine+tyrosine, threonine, isoleucine and valine. Arginine, glutamic acid, aspartic acid, glycine, and serine have been found to be the most abundant of the amino acids in milk Thistle protein. It is established that the protein of milk Thistle fruits is comparable to the protein of winter wheat and rye varieties by formal indicators of biological value, and significantly exceeds the protein of sunflower meal.

The objective of this paper was to study the amino acid composition of donkey milk inhabiting the Kegety gorge of the Chui region. As well as human milk, donkey and mare’s milk is albumin; the amount of casein is 35-45%, while cow’s milk is casein milk with casein content over 75%. The peculiarity of albumin milk is a higher biological and nutritional value, due to better amino acid balance, high sugar content and the ability to form small, delicate flakes when souring. In terms of its properties, albumin milk is closest to human milk and is the best substitute for it. The obtained results showed that the quantitative content of 7 essential amino acids out of 8, such as lysine, phenylalanine, leucine, isoleucine, methionine, valine, threonine is relatively high compared to other amino acids. Despite the absence of tryptophan in donkey milk, the percentage of 8 essential amino acids in donkey milk protein exceeds that in mare and cow’s milk.

The objective of this study was to find out the amino acid composition of pig meat in relation to live weight and sex. In total 80 (40 barrows/40 gilts) finishing pigs of the final hybrid kept in the Czech Republic [(CL &times; CLW) &times; (D &times; PN)] = [(Czech Landrace &times; Czech Large White) &times; (Duroc &times; Pietrain)] were used in this experiment. The pigs were slaughtered at the average age of 168&ndash;171 days after birth, at the average live weight of 112.2 kg. The samples of meat were taken from the musculus longissimus lumborum et thoracis (MLLT) 24 hours post mortem and subsequently subjected to the chemical analysis. As for the essential and semi-essential amino acids (EAA/SEAA), the highest content was found out in lysine, leucine and arginine. Among the nonessential amino acids (NEAA) glutamic and aspartic acid were present. The highest values of threonine (6.81%), isoleucine (6.13%), leucine (9.21%), lysine (10.54%), arginine (7.88%), serine (6.13%), glutamic acid (15.65%), glycine (6.04%) and alanine (6.25%) were found out in gilts, of valine (6.36%) and proline (5.56%) in the group of barrows with the highest live weight, i.e. 115.1 kg and more. The highest value of phenylalanine (1.34%) was measured in the group with the lowest live weight. The indirect dependence between the content of amino acids and live weight was determined only for valine in gilts. The influence of live weight was found in proline and the influence of sex as statistically significant on the probability level P  0.05 was found in lysine. The highest/lowest values of water content in barrows as well as in gilts were measured in the group of 115.1 kg and more/105.1&ndash;115 kg live weight. A decreasing tendency of the content of intramuscular fat (IMF) was recorded with the increasing live weight. The values of water content, IMF and ash content were found to be significant on the probability level P  0.05 and P  0.01. In barrows with the growth of live weight the content of crude proteins also increased. In gilts the content of crude proteins reached the point of inflexion already in the group of 105.1&ndash;115 kg live weight. In the values of crude protein content the influence of live weight was not significant. With the growth of live weight the content of ash also slightly increased. &nbsp;

The addition of essential amino acids to all-vegetable diets, so as to raise the biological value of their proteins to the level of animal-protein concentrates, has often been advocated in the past by animal nutritionists. This aim was frustrated in practice since it was impossible, until recently, to secure the necessary supplies at prices that would make such additions economical. Feeding stuffs with added amino acids are now being sold commercially. This is possible following the manufacture of synthetic DL-methionine and crude L-lysine monochloride.It seemed desirable, therefore, to carry out investigations into the potential value of these amino acids to the pig feeder. This paper deals with the effect on growth, food utilization and retention of nitrogen of adding small amounts of lysine and methionine to the diet. An attempt is made to correlate the amino acid composition of the pig's diet with its rate of growth, the energy supply being adequate.

SummaryField experiments were conducted for 2 years in Peshawar, North West Frontier Province of Pakistan, to study the effect of three levels of boron (1, 2 and 3 kg/ha) on the amino acid composition of wheat protein. The soil was clay loam, alluvial in nature, with a pH value of 7·8, and hot-water-soluble boron content of 0·58 mg/kg.Positive linear and negative quadratic effects of boron were observed on the protein and ash contents of wheat grain. Most of the essential amino acids were linearly increased with increasing supply of boron. There was a negative linear relationship of boron with all non-essential amino acids, except histidine and tyrosine.Lysine was the most deficient amino acid in wheat protein. Chemical score based on this amino acid was positively affected by boron. There was also an improvement in the amino acid profile due to boron.
