Methionine Lab Report

366 Words1 Page

Methionine represents the first limiting amino acid in broiler nutrition, thus different sources are available to balance diets based of corn and soybean. Bioavailability is different for each methionine source because of its rate of absorption and metabolic pathways. A broiler experiment was conducted to determine the relative bioavailability of Hydroxyl Methyl Analog Calcium (HMA-Ca) relative to DL-Methionine(DL-Met). The experiment was conducted at at Lavinesp (Unesp, Jaboticabal). It was used 1890 male broiler Cobb 500 of 21 days old, they were weighted and distributed homogeneously in a complete randomized design with 13 treatments and 7 replicates each. All birds fed either a basal diet deficient in sulphur amino acids, digestible methionine and cysteine (dig Met+Cys), or the basal diet with four levels of HMA-Ca (0.063, 0.183, 0.302 and 0.540%) and DL-Met (0.054, 0.156, 0.259 and 0.463%) to achieve increasing levels of dig Met+Cys. For the analysis, 5% of significance was considered and procedures of non-linear model were used by SAS. Exponential regression determinates bioavailability of HMA-Ca relative to DL-Met by calculating the relation of the slope of HMA-Ca relative to DL-Met …show more content…

Furthermore, equations obtained for carcass parameters were CY = 74.914 + 2.592 * (1-e – (8.218 * DL-Met + 3.976 * MHA-Ca)), AF = 2.246 + 0.573 * (1-e – (8.063 * DL-Met + 7.813* MHA-Ca)) and BY = 23.508 + 5.460 * (1-e – (5.546 * DL-Met + 3.131 * MHA-Ca)). Where CY is carcass yield, AF is abdominal fat and BY is breast yield. Thus, bioavailability of HMA-Ca relative to DL-Met were 52.43% for BWG and 57.48% for FC. Biological efficacies for CY, AF and BY were 42.57%, 87.02% and 49.69%, respectively. These results show that bioavailability of HMA-Ca relative to DL-Met are 54.955% for performance and 59.76% for carcass parameters on a product

The slant growth pattern was filiform and there was a turbid growth in the broth. After all the tests were complete and the results were compared the unknown bacterium was defined as Shigella sonnei. The results that narrowed it down the most were the gram stain, the lactose fermentation test, the citrate utilization test and the indole test. The results for each of the tests performed are listed in Table 1.1 below.

    Alcohol, which is the nucleophile, attacks the acid, H2SO4, which is the catalyst, forming oxonium. However, the oxonium leaves due to the positive charge on oxygen, which makes it unstable. A stable secondary carbocation is formed. The electrons from the conjugate base attack the proton, henceforth, forming an alkene. Through this attack, the regeneration of the catalyst is formed with the product, 4-methylcyclohexene, before it oxidizes with KMnO4. In simpler terms, protonation of oxygen and the elimination of H+ with formation of alkene occurs.

    Triphenylmethyl Bromide. A 400 mL beaker was filled with hot water from the tap. Acetic acid (4 mL) and solid triphenylmethanol (0.199 g, 0.764 mmol) were added to a reaction tube, with 33% hydrobromic acid solution (0.6 mL) being added dropwise via syringe. The compound in the tube then took on a light yellow color. The tube was then placed in the beaker and heated for 5 minutes. After the allotted time, the tube was removed from the hot water bath and allowed to cool to room temperature. In the meantime, an ice bath was made utilizing the 600 mL plastic beaker, which the tube was then placed in for 10 minutes. The compound was then vacuum filtered with the crystals rinsed with water and a small amount of hexane. The crude product was then weighed and recrystallized with hexane to form fine white crystals, which was triphenylmethyl bromide (0.105 g, 0.325 mmol, 42.5%). A Beilstein test was conducted, and the crystals produced a green to greenish-blue flame.

  • M-Acetophenone Lab Report

    In the primary reduction of m-acetophenone with tin and hydrochloric acid to yield 3-aminoacetophenone, there had to be some experimental precautions taken in order for the reduction to take place. For instance, granular tin was used instead of a single plate of tin because granular particles have more surface area for the reaction to take place on. More surface area means that there is more space for the reaction to occur so it happens more efficiently. Additionally, hydrochloric acid was added slowly to the reaction mixture. This is because the addition of HCl to the reaction mixture of m-acetophenone and tin causes an exothermic reaction that foams and produces hydrogen gas. Hydrogen gas in the presence of heat will explode, so adding the

    FTM: The fluid thioglycollate medium is a semi solid, in which the thioglycollate is used as a reducing agent to protect anaerobes and determine the organism’s oxygen requirements. Reazurin is used as an indicator for the medium’s aerobic region, as it is only pink when O2 is present or oxidized1. If there is growth throughout the tube it would be positive as a facultative aerobe; however, if there is only growth within the reazurin region, the organism is an aerobe.

    Furthermore, nutritional analysis of recording or reporting food intake data presents a main source of inaccuracy when determining habitual nutrient intake and it does not contain comprehensive information on the interpretation of results from dietary surveys (Macdiarmid, & Blundell, 1997). Therefore, biochemical markers of nutrient intake are now a valuable tool in validating dietary assessment methods (Bingham, 2002). For example, the double labelled water technique and 24-hour urine nitrogen and potassium are routinely used and potentially independent of the errors associated with dietary survey methods (Bingham, 2002).

    Other byproducts of poultry industry are the hatchery. This include egg shells, unhatched eggs, infertile eggs, and discarded chicken, which are utilized in animal feed. The animal feed contain high concentration calcium. It can be purifies and the calcium can be used as value added mineral for other food products. Since it contain such high concentration of calcium, its usage as animal feed is limited to prevent poisoning (K. Jayathilakan, Khudsia. S et al., 2012).

    Feed and nutrition changes throughout the hen’s life and nutrient intake, defined by the nutrient levels in the feed and the amount of feed consumed (Poultry Hub, 2016a) is affected by diet composition and feed intake. The hens feed intake is voluntary and so to ensure all hens achieve the required nutrient intake feed is provided free choice at all stages of life. This is done in small amounts of feed at least 3-4 times a day where no new fed is given until the previous feed is finished (Homestead organics, 2016). A number of factors influence voluntary feed intake including: breed, age, nutrient balance of the diet, ambient temperature, health and welfare status of the birds and accessibility of the feed (Poultry Hub, 2016b). Additionally certain ingredients, poor quality or contamination can also negatively affect voluntary feed intake due to poor palatability or the presence of toxic factors (Poultry Hub, 2016b). Table 1 provides data on the typical feed consumption for brown egg laying hens in relation to target body weight over the growing period, 0-18 weeks.
