After all, zinc oxide has to be phased out in the entire European Union by 2022 they wanted to know if the preventive effect on diarrhoea would be more pronounced if the cake would contain brown macroalgae species First results or the research were published late January at the university’s pig event ‘Up to Date 2018’ Effects of lactic acid producing bacteria are often used as probiotic supplements to promote gut health but results had not always been convincing The researchers tested these ingredients in piglet diets from 10 days prior to weaning until 91 days post-weaning The scientists hoped to find the effects on feed intake and growth rate both by the end of the grower phase and at slaughter Find out all there is to know about pig health using Pig Progress’ unique Pig Health Tool The trials were conducted at a commercial farm in Łosice In total 9 different dietary treatment groups were included The following diets were offered; each treatment group had 50 piglets per pen The ingredients were products used from Danish company Fermentation Experts The prefermented rape seed is commercially available as EP100i and the brown algae product as EP900 The researchers reported that feed supplied by prefermented rape seed when compared to the negative control (without zinc) led to an increased average daily gain (ADG) from 10 days prior to weaning until exit from the weaner unit the researchers reported that villi and enterocytes were had developed with maximum effects at 8 and 10% dry matter the diets improved small and large intestinal barrier function and the small intestine’s surface area and it reduced the number of lost and eliminated piglets without reducing the diarrhoea incidence When comparing the feed supplied by prefermented rape seed with the positive control (with 2,500 ppm zinc) the scientists noted that both average daily gain and feed conversion ratios were better leading to heavier piglets at weaning and exit This prevented mortality and the need for antibiotic treatments to the same extent as in the zinc approach The researchers also stated that adding the brown algae to the feed led to increased piglet weight at weaning It also decreased average daily gain from day 31 to 64 after weaning and therefore decreased the exit weight The brown algae addition blocked the stimulating effect of the prefermented rape seed approach on villi length and enterocyte height but not its effect on the intestinal barrier function Further results are expected after March 2018 when the pigs involved will be sent for slaughter The presentation was given by Prof Mette Olaf Nielsen The research was carried out in cooperation with Fermentation Experts WhatCulture is part of Future plc, an international media group and leading digital publisher.

Today, she’s launching a GoFundMe to raise $25,000 for a larger ice cream maker and a commercial pasteurizer—the final step to wholesaling her amazing flavors to local markets and making her business legit Wilson’s built her fan base by making custom ice cream in small batches—you give her some ideas and she’ll whip up the most transcendent ice cream you’ve tasted (She will also advise you that putting gummy bears in ice cream will lead to an epic dental emergency and is not advised—ahem.) Her menu of flavors is long and includes classics like vanilla bean and mint chip but it’s her ultra-chunky signature flavors—lemon bar Cap’n Crunch Berry—that are truly revelatory and it shows: her flavors are balanced and crave-worthy and innovative It would be easier (and cheaper) on Wilson if she—like many of Seattle’s other ice cream shops, including Molly Moon’s and Full Tilt—relied on a pre-made base to make her ice cream But Wilson’s business model has always revolved around using no stabilizers or preservatives and making everything by hand from her base of cream and egg yolks to the cookies Pouring a jug of premade ice cream is just… taking your soul I don’t want to choose money over my integrity.” Support Wilson and her delicious endeavor by donating here to her campaign too: she’s planning to offer an ice-cream-of-the-month club for Seattle residents and you can sure bet I’m signing up as soon as it’s a reality Tutta Bella ramps up production after deal with Kroger Seattle’s Tutta Bella pizza has signed a deal with Kroger and will now serve its Neopolitan-style pies in 1,200 stores in 40 states Kroger’s first order of 85,000 pizzas generated more than $1 million in sales “We didn’t set out to become a national food manufacturer — it happened organically who grew up California’s Central Valley and traces his family roots to Mexico going back more than a century says it’s a futile exercise to search for “real” Mexican cuisine in Seattle “I don’t bother much with authenticity,” says Garcia Remember when hot honey burst onto the dining scene last year But if the temperature has turned down a bit for you on this trendy condiment let Queen Bee’s Hot Honey — made and served up with Caribbean… Here’s what was served up recently in the Emerald City Seattle is a special place to eat — you know it we know it — so it’s not exactly a surprise when local culinary talent makes the headlines it’s always worth throwing a little more shine to the spotlight — take a peek to find out which star gained some national acclaim this week,… Sign up and get Seattle's best events delivered to your inbox every week Learn how to describe the purpose of the image (opens in a new tab) Leave empty if the image is purely decorative The WWE Women's Revolution has objectively been a great thing for professional wrestling as the presentation of WWE's female talent has evolved from borderline offensive to a more respectful position Women's wrestling is booked with respect these days; we are far removed from the days of bra and panties matches - and the rest professional wrestling is still heavily male-dominated but the women remain something of an addendum to the everyday business of the squared circle and the big stories tend to go to the chaps A number of these titles come with exceptions On a few occasions a female has shocked the world by defeating an incumbent to become the holder of a championship usually reserved for male competitors Almost always this comes with talk of hilarity from the announcers but the achievement must still be respected as it rarely differentiates between men and women in its booking so the specifics of male and female humans are of little importance Here are seven women who won wrestling titles usually reserved for men JoshiMania came to an end today with a matinee show in Manhattan, NY, headlined by Sara Del Rey taking on Ayako Hamada in the main event Diva Dirt reader Jhonmarco Valazquez reporting… * Los Ice Creams beat Dasher Hatfield & Saturyne with a sunset flip in a fun opener Los Ice Creams are great heels & Saturyne shows a lot of potiential * Gami beat Portia Perez with a fisherman’s buster in 11:56 * Brodie Lee beat Ultramantis Black with a powerbomb in 7:49 * Toshie Uematsu, Obaryon, Kodama & Kobold beat Cherry & the Colony with a diving splash in 13:01 * Mayumi Ozaki beat Kaori Yoneyama with an enzugiri in 10:22 * Aja Kong, Tsubasa Kuragaki, & Mio Shirai beat Manami Toyota Sawako Shimono & Hanako Nakamori with a Metal Wing * Sara Del Rey beat Ayako Hamada with a spike piledriver in 15:49
