Most data on the nutrient composition of shell eggs were obtained before 1950. Since then, management systems for egg production and analytical methods for many components have changed. Freeze-dried whole egg, yolk and white samples were prepared from eggs obtained from a single source of 15 month old White Leghorns. The sample were packaged under nitrogen and held at -20 degrees C. until analyzed. Conversion factors are included for expressing the amount of each component on a per egg as well as a per 100 g. edible liquid basis. This re-evaluation of nutrient data included total solids, lipid, protein, cholesterol, ash, calories, amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins and minerals.

Dust levels were determined in the three principal work areas of five high-capacity, saw-type cotton gins processing spindle-picked cotton. Dust levels measured by the vertical elutriator, OSHA personal and stationary personal samplers averaged 0.66, 0.96 and 0.87 mg/m3, respectively. Gross chemical analyses of dust samples collected indicated that the composit0n of the dust was highly variable and different for the principal work areas within each gin -- 15 to 53% ash, 2 to 5% moisture, 8 to 18% protein, 19 to 55% cellulose and 8 to 16% water-extractable constituents. Major elements were silicon, potassium, aluminum, calcium and magnesium.

Up to 500 mg fly ash from a soft-coal based power station were intratracheally administered to 353 broilers in ten test series. No detrimental impact on the animals' performance was recorded measurements of live weight curves, feed consumption, and feed conversion. Dust contamination of the animals' lungs was a pathologico-anatomic finding made in differentiated degrees. Erythrocyte and leucocyte counts as well as staining indices were normal and did not show any statistically significant deviations from the values in animals that had not been treated with fly ash. In most of the experimental animals haemoglobin values were significantly below those recorded from the controls. No compensatory reactions were recordable from staining index 1, for example, no rise of erythrocytes and haemoglobin. The above experiments and their results seem to suggest that fly ash emission is not a factor to rule out close neighbourhood of industralised broiler units to large-scale power stations.

A study was conducted to determine the effect of breed, sex and diet on the carcass composition of chickens. Male and female chicks of the Light Brahma, White Plymouth Rock, Single Comb White Leghorn, Black Jersey Giant and Dark Cornish breeds were fed three diets of widely varying calorie:protein ratios to four weeks of age. The Black Jersey Giant chickens attained the greatest weight at 4 weeks followed by the White Plymouth Rock, Dark Cornish and Single Comb White Leghorn with the Light Brahma growing the slowest of the strains tested. Significant differences in the quantity of moisture, protein, total lipid and ash present in the total carcass was found among certain breeds. The Light Brahma contained the largest amounts of total lipid, 10.4%, followed by the White Plymouth Rock, 10.2%, Black Jersey Giant, 9.5%, Single Comb White Leghorn, 8.8%, and the Dark Cornish, 8.6%. Both sex and diet also caused differences in the total body composition. Significant differences in the amounts of certain fatty acids in the carcasses of the various breeds were found; however, these differences were not great.

Previous studies of respiratory disorders in workers exposed to pulverised fuel ash (PFA) have been confined to radiological effects that were found to be minimal. The present survey included 268 men (88% of the defined population) with a history of more than 10 years exposure to PFA in six power stations in the south east of England. Respiratory questionnaires with full occupational histories were obtained from all of these subjects, of whom 207 were actively employed and 61 had retired; 243 had lung function tests and 208 had chest x ray examinations. The men were grouped, using their occupational histories, into high, medium, and low exposure categories. Dust concentrations were obtained by personal sampling on a representative sample of men from the three exposure categories. Lung function tests showed that a modest effect on forced vital capacity, vital capacity, forced expiratory volume in one second, peak flow, and gas transfer (DCO) was associated with prolonged heavy exposure to PFA. The men with prolonged heavy exposure also showed higher prevalences of respiratory symptoms. No definite relation between exposure and x ray changes was established. The results of this cross sectional survey indicate that exposures to PFA should not exceed the limits recommended by the Health and Safety Executive for low toxicity dusts.

Five different brands of instant dry whole milk that are most commonly used, and freeze dried milk were analyzed for nitrogen, fat, ash and 4 inorganic constituents and compared with human milk. The composition of the milks differed considerably. The protein content varied widely, ranging from 11.6 to 24.5%. Fat content did not differ widely, ranging from 24.9 to 29.5%. Freeze dried milk had the highest fat content (42.6%). Three out of the five brands of dry milk studied were spray dried and the remaining two were roller dried. All milks tested contained considerably more sodium, potassium, calcium and phosphorus solid than human milk, some of them the four fold amount of calcium and phosphorus.

Leaf proteins obtained by coagulation at different pH were examined for their chemical composition and nutritional quality. Green juice was extracted from alfalfa, red clover, Italian ryegrass and oats and leaf protein was coagulated by heating the juice after adjusting the pH to 4 or 8-8.5, or without any adjustment of the pH (about pH 6). The mild alkaline juice from Italian ryegrass and oats did not cause the satisfactory coagulation but it was achieved with the addition of Ca salt to the juice before heating. There were no important differences in the amino acid compositions of the leaf proteins coagulated at different pH. Crude ash, Ca and Mg contents increased with an increase in pH of coagulation and the protein coagulated at pH 8 had remarkably high contents of crude ash, Ca, Mg, Na and P in each crop. The leaf protein coagulated at pH 6, on the contrary, had a high content of true protein and low contents of nitrogen free extracts and nucleic acid as compared with those at pH 4 and 8. The pH of coagulation of leaf protein from alfalfa and red clover had no effect on the nutritional quality of the respective proteins. In Italian ryegrass and oats, however, the leaf protein coagulated at pH 8 was found to be nutritionally inferior to those coagulated at a lower pH. The data presented in this work support that in general, the leaf protein produced by heating the green juice without any adjustment of pH may be suitable for protein resources because of its desirable properties, i.e. high true protein content and good nutritional quality.

Duplicate groups of Strain-Cross White Leghorn chicks, White Rock Cross broiler chicks, and Large White Turkey poults were fed from 0 to 800 ppm fluoride as NaF for 1 day to 6 weeks. Based on growth rate, the dietary fluoride tolerances were at least 400 ppm for Leghorn chicks, 300 ppm for broiler chicks, and 200 ppm for turkey poults. Fluoride ingestion did not affect bone morphology or breaking strength. Increases in fluoride content of bone ash, plasma, and other soft tissues were related to dietary fluoride level but not to type of bird. Bone ash fluoride content was relatively constant at a given fluoride intake level over exposure periods of from 2 to 6 weeks.

The effect of diet and feed restriction on minimum weight for onset of sexual maturity was studied in White Rock broiler breeders. In the restriction experiment, three groups of birds were subjected to moderate, severe, and very severe quantitative food restriction during the rearing period (19 week target weights: 1900, 1300, and 700 g, respectively). From 20 to 24 weeks body weight was equalized at 2200 g, and from 24 weeks birds were allowed to gain about 150 g/week until first egg. In the diet experiment, two groups of birds were raised under severe quantitative food restriction during the rearing period and then allowed to gain about 150 g/week on a low metabolizable energy/protein (ME/P) ratio diet (25.4% protein, ME/P = 116) and on a high ME/P ratio (14.7% protein, ME/P = 219) until first egg. All birds were killed at first egg. Birds of the three restriction groups entered lay at the same lean body weight and ash and protein content, but at different age, carcass weight, shank length, dry matter, and fat content. Birds of the two diet groups entered lay at the same lean body weight, shank length, and ash content but at different carcass weight, dry matter, and fat content. Considering both experiments together, birds of the different treatment groups entered lay at similar lean body weight and ash content but differed in age, carcass weight, shank length, dry matter, and fat content.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Tissues from sixty-nine cartilage tumors in sixty-six individuals were obtained at the time of operation and each lesion was graded as benign (seventeen) or as a low-grade (thirty-three) or high-grade (nineteen) chondrosarcoma according to histological and roentgenographic criteria. The material obtained was analyzed by biochemical techniques for its content of water, ash, DNA, total protein (composed of collagen and so-called excess protein), and carbohydrate. In addition, proteoglycan subunit was isolated and the chain lengths of chrondroitin sulphate and keratan sulphate were determined. Analysis of the data showed that for the most part the tumors differed only quantitatively from articular cartilage controls, with the principal variations noted in water, ash, protein, and collagen content. Sugar concentrations were highly variable, but analysis of the proteoglycan subunit showed a distribution of glycosaminoglycans characteristic of immature articular cartilage. Marked shortening of the keratan sulphate chains was noted without significant alteration in the chain lengths of chondroitin sulphate, The wide variations in pattern suggest that the cartilage tumors are not biochemically homogeneous and therefore probably do not represent a single group of genetic errors.
