Cinta Senese is characterized by slow growth rates, which implies different nutritional requirements compared to major pig breeds. Four different crude protein levels (120, 140, 160 and 180 g/kg on as-fed basis, denoted as CP12, CP14, CP16 and CP18) were tested to assess the optimal protein requirements of Cinta Senese pigs during the growing phase. The in vivo performance, slaughtering traits and nitrogen balance were evaluated using individual pens and metabolic crates. Increasing the protein level in feed lowered the average daily gain (from 0.76 to 0.71 kg/d), final weight (63.0 kg for CP12 versus 60.7 kg for CP16) and reduced the protein conversion efficiency (from 0.37 to 0.58). Also, protein conversion in lean protein linearly increased from CP12 (4.82) to CP18 (7.43), which implies a worsening in the protein utilization efficiency. The nitrogen balance showed higher loss of N through urine (from 0.68 g/d/kg metabolic weight for CP12 to 1.14 g/d/kg metabolic weight for CP18) as the dietary CP levels increased, and a decrease in the biological value (51.78 for CP12 versus 36.54 for CP16). The results indicated that the CP12 diet was adequate for fulfilling the Cinta Senese protein requirements during the growing phase.

✓ Caloric expenditure and nitrogen balance were measured in 14 steroid-treated comatose head-injured patients acutely and up to 28 days after injury. During this period patients were fed with a continuous enteral infusion of a formula containing 2 Kcal/cc and 10 gm nitrogen/liter. Indirect calorimetry was carried out for 102 patient-days. The mean resting metabolic expenditure (RME) for nonsedated nonparalyzed patients was 138% ± 37% of that expected for an uninjured resting person of equivalent age, sex, and body surface area. Nitrogen excretion was measured for 135 patient-days. The mean excretion was 20.2 ± 6.4 gm/day. The mean protein caloric contribution was 23.9% ± 6.7% and was greater than 25% for six patients, compared to normal values of 10% to 15%. Despite hyperalimentation, positive nitrogen balance for any 3-day period was achieved in only seven patients, and required replacement of 161% to 240% of RME with enterally administered formula. Head-injured patients had a metabolic response similar to that reported for patients with burns of 20% to 40% of the body surface.

Research was aimed to determine nitrogen balance, microbial protein synthesis, and blood metabolites of male Bali cattle fattening fed ration with different protein level in smallholder farms North Central Timor, Province of East Timor Tenggara, Indonesia. The cattle used were 18 heads aged 2 to 2.5 years with initial body weight of 229.86±12.46 kg. The cattle were randomly divided into three treatment groups. The T0 group was given feed the same as traditional fattening cattle practices by farmers,T1 group fed ration containing 12% crude protein (CP) and 72% total digestible nutrients (TDN), andT2 group fedration containing 15% CP and 72%TDN. Cattle were fed individually for 90 days and drinkingwater ad libitum. The data were analyzedby analysis of variance.Results of research indicated the nitrogen balance, and blood urea nitrogen between T1 and T2 were relatively similar, but those were higher (P<0.05) than T0 . In contrast, microbial proteins synthesis, and blood glucose at 0, 4, and 6 hours before and after feeding were relatively similar between the groups. Blood glucose of T2 at 2 hours after intake were higher (P <0.05) than T0, but was not different with T1 . It can be concluded, that the fattening maleBali cattle fed ration containing 12% CP and 72% TDNimprovedthe nitrogen balance and blood metabolites, butit was no positive effect on the microbial proteins and N synthesis.

Group 1

Twenty severely brain-injured patients with Glasgow Coma Scale scores of 4–9 were prospectively randomized to receive one of two standard amino acid formulas, starting with the first day of hospital admission up to day 14 postinjury. Formula 2 (patient group 2) had 54 percent more leucine, 53 percent more isoleucine, 74 percent more valine, 28 percent less phenylalanine, 31 percent less methionine, 111 percent more proline, 38 percent less alanine, and 38 percent less glycine than formula 1 (patient group 1). Groups 1 and 2 received statistically equal overall mean parenteral nutrition calories and protein (2173 ± 147 vs. 2059 ± 143 kcal, and 77 ± 12 vs. 83.1 ± 6 g, respectively). There was a significant difference in overall mean urinary urea nitrogen excretion (group 1 = 24.6 ± 1.3 vs. group 2= 18.3 ± 1.1, p = 0.02) and nitrogen balance (group 1 = −8.0 ± 2.1 vs. group 2 = + 1.8 ± 1.2, p = 0.01). Mean overall isoleucine values were significantly higher in group 2 (overall mean 77 μmol/L vs. 62 μmol/L, p = 0.04). Phenylalanine levels were significantly higher in group 1 (107 μmol/L) versus group 2 (82 μmol/L) patients (p = 0.01). Arginine levels were significantly higher in group 1 (78 μmol/L) versus group 2 (49 μmol/L) patients (p = 0.0002). This observation suggests that some standard intravenous amino acid formulas may be more apt to promote positive nitrogen balance than others.
