Vitamin D deficiency among children aged 10-18 years in Sri Lanka.

The Ceylon medical journal
BACKGROUND: Vitamin D deficiency (VDD) and insufficiency (VDI) are public health problems in many countries, and limited data is available on the prevalence of VDD/VDI in Sri Lanka.

Building the Beloved Community: Reflections in Understanding Relationships to Food for Native Hawaiians.

Progress in community health partnerships : research, education, and action
INTRODUCTION: Health disparities within the Native Hawaiian community have been well-documented for many years.

Speech2Health: A Mobile Framework for Monitoring Dietary Composition From Spoken Data.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
Diet and physical activity are known as important lifestyle factors in self-management and prevention of many chronic diseases. Mobile sensors such as accelerometers have been used to measure physical activity or detect eating time. In many intervent...

Genotyping of Giardia duodenalis in vegetables cultivated with organic and chemical fertilizer from street markets and community vegetable gardens in a region of Southern Brazil.

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene
BACKGROUND: In order to investigate the occurrence of Giardia duodenalis and its genotypes in vegetables that are consumed raw, we analyzed samples cultivated with organic or chemical fertilizer, sold in street markets and from community vegetable ga...

Effects of supplementing methionine hydroxy analog on beef cow performance, milk production, reproduction, and preweaning calf performance.

Journal of animal science
Mature Simmental × Angus cows (214 cows; 635 ± 7 kg) were utilized to determine the effects of late gestation and early postpartum supplementation of methionine hydroxy analog (MHA) on cow BW, BCS, milk production, milk composition, reproduction, and...

Effect of postweaning heifer development system on average daily gain, pregnancy rates, and subsequent feed efficiency as a pregnant heifer.

Journal of animal science
A 3-yr study utilized 300 Angus-based, spring-born heifers to evaluate postweaning heifer development systems on gain, reproductive performance, and feed efficiency as a pregnant heifer. Heifers were blocked by BW and randomly assigned to graze corn ...

Effects of supplementing calcium salts of polyunsaturated fatty acids to late-gestating beef cows on performance and physiological responses of the offspring.

Journal of animal science
This experiment compared performance and physiological responses of the offspring from cows supplemented with Ca salts of PUFA or SFA + MUFA during late gestation. Ninety-six multiparous, nonlactating, pregnant Angus × Hereford cows were ranked by BW...

Maternal nutrition and stage of early pregnancy in beef heifers: Impacts on expression of glucose, fructose, and cationic amino acid transporters in utero-placental tissues.

Journal of animal science
We hypothesized that maternal nutrition and day of gestation would impact utero-placental mRNA expression of the nutrient transporters , , , , and in beef heifers. Crossbred Angus heifers (n = 49) were estrous synchronized, bred via AI, assigned to n...

Use of in vitro dry matter digestibility and gas production to predict apparent total tract digestibility of total dietary fiber for growing pigs.

Journal of animal science
In vitro DM disappearance (IVDMD) and gas production methods have been developed and used to measure in vivo nutrient digestibility of feed ingredients, but further validation is needed for ingredients containing high concentrations of insoluble fibe...

Investigation of mechanisms involved in regulation of progesterone catabolism using an overfed versus underfed ewe-lamb model.

Journal of animal science
Alterations in progesterone (P4) catabolism due to high feed intake underlie some effects of nutrition on reproduction. Based on previous research, we hypothesized that high feed intake could potentially increase P4 catabolism, likely due to increase...
