This is the second in a series of reports on the growth, feed intake and digestibility responses of growing swine (50 to 110 pounds) involved in a 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 factorial test of the effects of wheat bran, pelleting, antibiotics and type of protein in the ration. Discussion in this paper was restricted to those factors affecting the responses to the inclusion of wheat bran.With approximately isocaloric diets the inclusion of 10 per cent bran resulted in a general increase of 6 per cent in feed intake (P = <.01) and 8 per cent in digestibility of protein. The greatest effects were obtained with antibiotic-free, animal protein-free, meal-type rations in which the inclusion of bran resulted in 18 per cent more feed and 28 per cent more digestible energy being consumed.The effect of bran on energy digestibility was small relative to its effect on protein. It is postulated that differences in the rates and site of absorption of starch and protein components may be related to the efficacy of bran in the digestive tract.The similarity observed between the effects of bran and antibiotics is discussed in relation to possible deficiencies of B-vitamins and amino acids.

Availability and access to fresh water will likely constrain future food production in many countries. Thus, it is frequently suggested that the limited amount of water should be used more productively. In this study we report the results of our investigation on effects of feed, age and weight on livestock water productivity (LWP). The main objective is to identify technologies that will help enhance LWP. We combined empirical knowledge and literature values to estimate the amount of water depleted to produce beef, milk, traction power and manure. We estimated the LWP as the ratio of livestock products and services to the depleted water. In the feeding trials, various combinations of maize and oat stover, vetch, lablab and wheat bran were combined in different proportions to make 16 unique rations that were fed to the experimental animals of different age and weight groups. We observed differences of LWP across feed type, age and weight of dairy cows. The value of LWP tended to increase with increasing age and weight: the lowest LWP (0.34 US$/m3) for cows less than five years whereas the highest LWP value was 0.41 US$/m3 for those cows in the age category of 8 years and above. Similarly, there was an increase in LWP as weight of the animal increased, i.e. LWP was lowest (0.32 US$/m3) for lower weight groups (300–350 kg) and increased for larger animals. There were apparent impacts of feed composition on LWP values. For example, the highest LWP value was observed for oat, vetch and wheat bran mixes. Taking livestock services and products into account, the overall livestock water productivity ranged from 0.25 to 0.39 US$/m3 and the value obtained from a cow appeared to be higher than for an ox. In conclusion, some strategies and technological options such as improved feeds, better herd management, appropriate heard structure can be adapted to enhance LWP.

Pelleted Feed

A swine feeding trial, of 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 factorial design, involving 64 pigs (32 gilts and 32 barrows) weighing initially 50 ± 2 pounds and fed to a final weight of 110 ± 2 pounds was carried out. The dietary variables were meal vs. pellets, 0 vs. 10 per cent wheat bran, mixed animal-plant vs. all-plant origin protein supplement and 0 vs. 33 p.p.m. of an antibiotic mixture (penicillin, streptomycin and chlortetracycline). Weight gains and feed intakes were recorded bi-weekly and a Cr2O3-marker digestion trial was imposed on 32 pigs during the feeding test.The results revealed distinct interrelationships among all four experimental variables that prevailed through to the highest order statistical interaction. Consequently discussion in this paper was restricted to those factors affecting the responses to pelleting.On the whole there was no advantage due to pelleting. However, in the absence of bran and antibiotics, and particularly when no animal protein was involved, pigs fed pelleted feed gained faster and had better feed efficiency. Pelleting was found to increase dry matter and energy digestibility when no bran or antibiotics were included in the diet. Conversely, the inclusion of either bran or antibiotics was as effective as pelleting. It is postulated that bran and antibiotics were effective by reason of their effects on the physical nature of the ingesta and on the microbial population of the gastrointestinal tract.

Comprehensive Study

In our initial publication on this subject1) we reported results demonstrating that contrast is the most important factor in producing the high image quality required for reliable image analysis. We also listed the factors which enhance contrast in order of the experimentally determined magnitude of their effect. The two most powerful factors affecting image contrast attainable with sheet film are beam intensity and KV. At that time we had only qualitative evidence for the ranking of enhancing factors. Later we carried out the densitometric measurements which led to the results outlined below.Meaningful evaluations of the cause-effect relationships among the considerable number of variables in preparing EM negatives depend on doing things in a systematic way, varying only one parameter at a time. Unless otherwise noted, we adhered to the following procedure evolved during our comprehensive study:Philips EM-300; 30μ objective aperature; magnification 7000- 12000X, exposure time 1 second, anti-contamination device operating.

Strength And Stiffness

Processing polymers from the liquid crystalline state offers several advantages compared to processing from conventional fluids. These include: better axial strength and stiffness in fibers, better planar orientation in films, lower viscosity during processing, low solidification shrinkage of injection moldings (thermotropic processing), and low thermal expansion coefficients. However, the compressive strength of the solid is disappointing. Previous efforts to improve this property have focussed on synthesizing stiffer molecules. The effect of microstructural scale has been overlooked, even though its relevance to the mechanical and physical properties of more traditional materials is well established. By analogy with the behavior of metals and ceramics, one would expect a fine microstructure (i..e. a high density of orientational defects) to be desirable.Also, because much microstructural detail in liquid crystalline polymers occurs on a scale close to the wavelength of light, light is scattered on passing through these materials.

A statistical review provides analysis of four years of speech therapy services of a suburban school system which can be used for comparison with other school system programs. Included are data on the percentages of the school population enrolled in therapy, the categories of disabilities and the number of children in each category, the sex and grade-level distribution of those in therapy, and shifts in case-load selection. Factors affecting changes in case-load profiles are identified and discussed.

Purpose Previous studies showed early production precedes late perception in Cantonese tone acquisition, contrary to the general principle that perception precedes production in child language. How tone production and perception are linked in 1st language acquisition remains largely unknown. Our study revisited the acquisition of tone in Cantonese-speaking children, exploring the possible link between production and perception in 1st language acquisition. Method One hundred eleven Cantonese-speaking children aged between 2;0 and 6;0 (years;months) and 10 adolescent reference speakers participated in tone production and perception experiments. Production materials with 30 monosyllabic words were transcribed in filtered and unfiltered conditions by 2 native judges. Perception accuracy was based on a 2-alternative forced-choice task with pictures covering all possible tone pair contrasts. Results Children's accuracy of production and perception of all the 6 Cantonese tones was still not adultlike by age 6;0. Both production and perception accuracies matured with age. A weak positive link was found between the 2 accuracies. Mother's native language contributed to children's production accuracy. Conclusions Our findings show that production and perception abilities are associated in tone acquisition. Further study is needed to explore factors affecting production accuracy in children.
