Objectives: The present study examined the amount and relative contribution of calcium from the habitual diet among rural Thais.
Material And Method: Calcium intake was assessed using 3-day food records and interviewer-administered quantitative food-frequency questionnaire, containing 73 food items.
Results: The authors recruited 436 healthy participants (181 men and 255 women), between 20 and 85 years of age. Averaged daily calcium intake among men and women were 378.6 and 265.6 mg, respectively. Sixty-seven percent of men and eighty seven percent of women had less dietary calcium intake than half of the recommended level (< 400 mg/day) whereas only 6 and 3% had an intake more than 800 mg/day. The major food sources of dietary calcium was glutinous rice (32 percent) followed by small animals with edible bones (31 percent) and fresh and fermented fish (20 percent). Dairy products and vegetables constituted only 8 and 5% of dietary calcium, respectively.
Conclusion: The habitual diet among rural Northeast Thais does not meet the recommended calcium intake level. To promote more consumption of dairy products and locally-available calcium-rich foods would be beneficial to prevent osteoporosis among this population.

Intermittent and increasing intravenous lipopolysaccharide's impact on metabolism, inflammation and production in lactating dairy cows.

Experimental objectives were to create a chronic inflammatory model to evaluate the effects of persistent immune activation on metabolism, inflammation, and productivity in lactating dairy cows. Twelve lactating Holstein cows (631 ± 16 kg BW; 124 ± 15 DIM) were enrolled in a study with 2 experimental periods (P); during P1 (5 d), cows were fed ad libitum and baseline data were obtained. At the initiation of P2 (7 d), cows were assigned to 1 of 2 treatments: 1) saline-infused and pair-fed (PF; 5 mL intravenously (IV) sterile saline on d 1, 3, and 5; n = 6) or 2) lipopolysaccharide infused and ad libitum-fed (LPS; 0.

Using direct method to estimate calcium digestibility of barley and soybean meal in quail chicks.

Department of Animal Sciences, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Zabol, Sistan 98661-5538, Iran. Electronic address:
The availability of calcium (Ca) in poultry diets is influenced by various factors, such as the feed ingredients used. This study assessed the apparent ileal digestibility (AID) and standardized ileal digestibility (SID) of Ca in barley and soybean meal (SBM) in young quail chicks using a direct method. Three diets were formulated, including a Ca-free basal diet to evaluate ileal endogenous calcium losses (IECaL), and two diets with barley or SBM as the sole Ca sources.

Purpose: Galactosemia is a rare inborn error of galactose metabolism. There are several forms, the most severe being classic galactosemia (CG), which begins in the first few days of life. Nowadays, it is possible to screen CG at birth, averting acute decompensation or death through diet.

Although long-term high dietary sodium consumption often aggravates hypertension and bone loss, sodium in the intestinal lumen has been known to promote absorption of nutrients and other ions, e.g., glucose and calcium.
