Efficacy of dried whey and its lactalbumin and lactose components at two dietary lysine levels on postweaning pig performance and nitrogen balance
Article Abstract:
The efficacy of the effects of lactalbumin and lactose components of dried whey on weanling pig performance and retention of nitrogen were investigated. The results showed that supplementation of starter diets with dried whey enhanced gain and feed efficiency. This was attributed mainly to the lactose component of dried whey which could be a replacement for some milk products incorporated into the starter diets of weanling pigs. This would justify the cost of dried whey in the diets of weanling pigs.

Cattle blood plasma and red blood cell alpha-tocopherol levels in response to different chemical forms and routes of adminsitration of vitamin E
Article Abstract:
Plasma and red blood cell (RBC) concentrations after enteral administration of four preparations of vitamin E were evaluated in cattle. RBC concentration was postulated as being a better index of vitamin E absorption. All calves receiving vitamin E had higher serum and RBC concentrations than the controls. Those receiving an experimental blend and d-alpha-tocopheryl acetate had the highest levels. Ruminal supplementation resulted in higher vitamin E levels than duodenal supplementation.
