Breast meat yield, chemical composition, mineral profile and linear measurement of the resultant breast meat Supracoracoides and Pectoralis thoracicus of one hundred and eighty (28 days old BUT) male turkeys fed diet containing wheat or sorghum as sole cereal source were studied. One  hundred and eighty 28-days old male turkeys (British United Turkeys, BUT) were randomly allotted into 18 pens with 10 poults housed in each pen (of dimension 3.0× 2.0 m). Three experimental diets were formulated for the starter (29-56 days), grower (57-84) and finisher  phase (85-112 days) such that ground maize (control), wheat or sorghum (light brown coat  variety) was used as the only cereal source. The turkeys were randomly allotted to 18 pens (each housing 10 turkeys) with each pen allocated to one of the experimental diets. Growth response, breast meat yield, chemical composition, mineral profile and linear measurement of the resultant breast meat yield were measured at the end of finishing phase. Turkeys fed with wheat and sorghum had similar dressing percentage values. Turkeys fed with sorghum recorded lower (P<0.05) final live weight (10,002.10 g), weight gain (9084.90 g), feed intake (19,942.67 g), dressed weight (8099.94 g), breast meat yield (2691g) and higher relative BMY (269.05 g/kg LWT) than those fed with wheat. However, turkeys fed with wheat had higher (P<0.05) Supracoccoides weight (672.15 g) and length (26.9 g) than those fed with sorghum which recorded higher relative Supracoccoides weight (58.81 g) than those fed with sole wheat (53.76 19 g). Crude protein, ether extract, ash content, gross energy and mineral content of the BMY were not affected by dietary inclusion of wheat or sorghum as sole cereal source. However, the breast meat of turkeys fed with sorghum had lower (P<0.05) moisture (60.12%), cholesterol (19.05 mg/100g) and LDL (2.01 mg/100g) values than other corresponding values obtained for turkeys fed with wheat or control diet

In this paper quality of carcasses/carcass sides and meat from 5 different pig genotypes was comparably evaluated. Quality of carcass sides was evaluated prior to slaughtering in vivo (SONOMARK SM 100 M), early post mortem on slaughter line (FOM), by method of two points (ZP - ZWEIPUNKT) as well as method of partial dissection on cold left carcass sides according to EU recommendations. By analysis of obtained results it can be concluded that fatteners of type E (LW x SL) x P had the highest meat yield in carcass sides (61,90; 62,40; 58,85 and 58,89%) by any other mentioned methods of evaluation compared to average meat yield in carcass sides of other investigated genotypes. Average yield of muscle tissue in carcasses of pigs of E genotype (LW x SL) x P (58,89%) established by method of partial dissection was statistically considerably higher (*p<0,05) than the average (56,06%) meat yield in carcasses of pigs of genotype D, very significantly higher (**p<0,01) than average (57,01%) meat yield in carcasses of pigs of genotype C and very highly significantly higher (***p<0,001) than average (51,30%) meat yield in carcasses of pigs of genotype A. The quality of meat was also investigated comparably by determining its technological quality and chemical composition of MLD in investigated genotypes of pigs. Technological quality and chemical composition of MLD demonstrated significant (*p<0,05) differences in WBC and pigment content between genotypes B and C and B and E. Average values for content of ashes and share of pigment are in accordance with average values which characterize muscles of normal traits. By analysis of obtained results we conclude that fatteners of genotype E (LW x SL) x P had the highest meat yield in carcass sides (61,90; 62,40; 58,85 and 58,89%), but quality was slightly decreased which indicates need for further improvement of meat quality.

Yield Factor

Shellfish is a major component of our global aquatic food supply, which includes the molluscs, crustaceans and echinoderms. The aim of this study was to evaluate the weight yield factor, chemical composition and energy value in three imported shellfish species (Palinurus regius, Sepia officinalis and Farfantepenaeus notialis) in Nigeria. The physical and chemical determinations were in accordance with the official methods. The results showed that all the shellfish species had weight yield factor less than 1, and the weights obtained for the samples showed no statistically significant differences before and after boiling. In raw samples, S. officinalis had significant (p<0.05) higher protein and crude fat values of 20.41±0.63 g/100 g and 2.67±0.68 g/100 g respectively. In boiled samples, high protein levels (15.21-19.22 g/100 g) with no significant difference characterized the overall proximate profile of shellfish species studied herein. In terms of minerals, all investigated elements (calcium, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus and sodium) were generally found at lower levels in boiled samples when compared with the mineral contents of the raw shellfish samples. S. officinalis had the higher total energy value in both raw (344.94 kJ 100/g) and boiled samples (373.96 kJ 100/g). All the species can be considered as food items with  interesting dietetic properties due to high contents of proteins, minerals and useful energy values.     Les mollusques et crustacés sont une composante importante de notre approvisionnement alimentaire aquatique mondial, qui comprend les mollusques, les crustacés et les échinodermes. L'objectif de cette étude était d'évaluer le facteur de rendement pondération, la composition chimique et la valeur énergétique de trois espèces importées de mollusques et crustacés (Palinurus regius, Sepia officinalis et Farfantepenaeus notialis) au Nigéria. Les déterminations physiques et chimiques étaient conformes aux méthodes officielles. Les résultats ont montré que toutes les espèces de mollusques et crustacés avaient un facteur de rendement de poids inférieur à 1, et les poids obtenus pour les échantillons n'ont montré aucune différence statistiquement significative avant et après l'ébullition. Dans les échantillons crus, S. officinalis avait des valeurs significatives (p<0.05) de protéines et de matières grasses brutes de 20.41±0.63 g/100 g et 2.67±0.68 g/100 g respectivement. Dans les échantillons bouillis, des niveaux élevés de protéines (15.21-19.22 g/100 g) sans différence significative ont caractérisé le profil proximate global des espèces de mollusques et crustacés étudiées dans le présente. En ce qui concerne les minéraux, tous les éléments étudiés (calcium, magnésium, potassium, phosphore et sodium) ont généralement été trouvés à des niveaux inférieurs dans les échantillons bouillis par rapport au contenu minéral des échantillons de mollusques et crustacés crus. S. officinalis avait la valeur énergétique totale la plus élevée dans les échantillons bruts (344.94 kJ 100/g) et bouillis (373.96 kJ 100/g). Toutes les espèces peuvent être considérées comme des aliments aux propriétés diététiques intéressantes en raison de la teneur élevée en protéines, minéraux et valeurs énergétiques utiles.

Origin Of The Moon

The difference between average densities of the Moon and Earth was interpreted in the preceding report by Professor H. Urey as indicating a difference in their chemical composition. Therefore, Urey assumes the Moon's formation to have taken place far away from the Earth, under conditions differing substantially from the conditions of Earth's formation. In such a case, the Earth should have captured the Moon. As is admitted by Professor Urey himself, such a capture is a very improbable event. In addition, an assumption that the “lunar” dimensions were representative of protoplanetary bodies in the entire solar system encounters great difficulties.

Spindle Fibres

The mitotic apparatus is a structure of obvious biological and medical interest, but it has proved to be a difficult cellular machine to understand. The chemical composition of the spindle is only slightly elucidated, largely because of the difficulties in preparing useful isolates of the structure. Chemical studies of the mitotic spindle have been reviewed elsewhere (Mcintosh, 1977), and will not be discussed further here. One would think that structural studies on the mitotic apparatus (MA) in situ would be straightforward, but even with this approach there is some disagreement in the results obtained with various methods and by different investigators. In this paper I will review briefly the approaches which have been used in structural studies of the MA, pointing out the strengths and problems of each approach. I will summarize the principal findings of the different methods, and identify what seem to be fruitful avenues for further work.

Summary5,-5'-diphenyl-2-thiohydantoin (DPTH) is an effective inhibitor of thyroxine (T4) stimulation of α-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase in rat liver mitochondria. Because this finding indicated a possible tool for future study of the mode of action of thyroxine, the ultrastructural and biochemical effects of DPTH and/or thyroxine on rat liver mere investigated.Rats were fed either standard or DPTH (0.06%) diet for 30 days before T4 (250 ug/kg/day) was injected. Injection of T4 occurred daily for 10 days prior to sacrifice. After removal of the liver and kidneys, part of the tissue was frozen at -50°C for later biocheailcal analyses, while the rest was prefixed in buffered 3.5X glutaraldehyde (390 mOs) and post-fixed in buffered 1Z OsO4 (376 mOs). Tissues were embedded in Araldlte 502 and the sections examined in a Zeiss EM 9S.Hepatocytes from hyperthyroid rats (Fig. 2) demonstrated enlarged and more numerous mitochondria than those of controls (Fig. 1). Glycogen was almost totally absent from the cytoplasm of the T4-treated rats.

Fluorescent Screen

In this form of electron microscopy, photoelectrons emitted from a metal by ultraviolet radiation are accelerated and imaged onto a fluorescent screen by conventional electron optics. image contrast is determined by spatial variations in the intensity of the photoemission. The dominant source of contrast is due to changes in the photoelectric work function, between surfaces of different crystalline orientation, or different chemical composition. Topographical variations produce a relatively weak contrast due to shadowing and edge effects.Since the photoelectrons originate from the surface layers (e.g. ∼5-10 nm for metals), photoelectron microscopy is surface sensitive. Thus to see the microstructure of a metal the thin layer (∼3 nm) of surface oxide must be removed, either by ion bombardment or by thermal decomposition in the vacuum of the microscope.
