Meyer, Allison M. "147 Nutritional advances in fetal and neonatal development: Mineral nutrition." Journal of Animal Science 98, Supplement_3 (2020): 121. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/jas/skaa054.206.
Full textAbstract:
Abstract Mineral nutrition during pregnancy has long been known to impact fetal growth and development. This is evidenced by a multitude of mineral deficiency-related causes for embryonic loss, abortion, stillbirth, or neonatal death, including poor or inappropriate fetal development that can be either reversible or irreversible postnatally. Both macro and trace mineral needs of the dam are known to increase with the fetal growth of advancing gestation due to greater metabolic stress and demand, as well as tissue development and deposition in the fetus. Fetal deposition of many trace minerals is especially important for neonatal use while consuming milk with low mineral concentrations and facing a multitude of immune challenges. In the last 2 decades, many laboratories have focused on “developmental programming,” or the effects of maternal nutrition on fetal and neonatal development and ultimately long-term health and productivity of livestock. Despite this, the role of macro and trace minerals in short-and long-term consequences of developmental programming is still unclear for many minerals and species. Taken together, research in ruminants and swine demonstrate that mineral intake and source during pregnancy can have a large effect on fetal growth and development that lasts into the neonatal and pre-weaning periods. Some studies suggest that supra-nutritional mineral intake may have a positive benefit during gestation or neonatal periods. Moreover, some data suggest that mineral requirements may be greater than currently thought to accommodate the rapid fetal growth and preparation for lactation that occurs during late gestation. Continued research is necessary to determine mineral requirements of livestock during pregnancy, especially when considering their long-reaching subsequent effects on offspring. Additionally, increased understanding of perinatal transfer of trace minerals can aid in our management of pregnant dams and their offspring.

Full textAbstract:
The trace mineral requirements of grazing beef cattle are often complicated by different environmental factors, such as the lack of specific trace minerals or the presence of trace mineral antagonists in forage. Nearly every region of the world has specific implications related to trace mineral nutrition of grazing cattle. Since forage is the most significant contributor to trace mineral nutrition, it is important to consider the concentrations of trace minerals and antagonists and how they may impact the performance of cattle consuming them. This review attempts to provide an update on the trace minerals commonly found to be inadequate in forage, supplementation strategies to address deficiency including a discussion on supplemental trace mineral source, and the complications presented by mineral antagonists. Although the review focuses on beef cattle grazing systems of the United States, the information herein is derived from both extensive native range and intensive planted pasture.

Full textAbstract:
The amount of silk produced by silkworms is influenced by several factors. The silkworm's nutrition is the most important element for good quality cocoon and silk production as it is dependent on the healthiness of the silkworm. Health, growth and resistance to biotic factors are directly dependent on the nutrition of the silkworm which is derived from the food. Consuming a well-balanced nutritious food is particularly important for silkworms, since they only consume throughout their larval period. Among the different nutritional requirements by the silkworm, minerals plays an important role. Minerals are not synthesized within insects, although they are essential elements and affect various metabolic processes. Minerals affect the growth and development of larva, economic cocoon characters and silk yield. Many functions of the neuromuscular, reproductive and hormonal systems among others can be efficiently controlled by adding micronutrients and trace elements such as minerals to the diet.

Full textAbstract:
Aquatic animals have unique physiological mechanisms to absorb and retain minerals from their diets and water. Research and development in the area of mineral nutrition of farmed fish and crustaceans have been relatively slow and major gaps exist in the knowledge of trace element requirements, physiological functions and bioavailability from feed ingredients. Quantitative dietary requirements have been reported for three macroelements (calcium, phosphorus and magnesium) and six trace minerals (zinc, iron, copper, manganese, iodine and selenium) for selected fish species. Mineral deficiency signs in fish include reduced bone mineralization, anorexia, lens cataracts (zinc), skeletal deformities (phosphorus, magnesium, zinc), fin erosion (copper, zinc), nephrocalcinosis (magnesium deficiency, selenium toxicity), thyroid hyperplasia (iodine), muscular dystrophy (selenium) and hypochromic microcytic anemia (iron). An excessive intake of minerals from either diet or gill uptake causes toxicity and therefore a fine balance between mineral deficiency and toxicity is vital for aquatic organisms to maintain their homeostasis, either through increased absorption or excretion. Release of minerals from uneaten or undigested feed and from urinary excretion can cause eutrophication of natural waters, which requires additional consideration in feed formulation. The current knowledge in mineral nutrition of fish is briefly reviewed.

Abstract The science associated with mineral nutrition is evolving at an accelerated pace. Some topics of investigation have persisted for decades; typical examples include clarification of mineral requirements, evaluation of mineral sources, definition of mineral bioavailability and physiological and metabolic interactions among minerals, to name a few. The fact that these topics have endured for so long serves to illustrate their importance to our craft, as well as the increasing sophistication of the science available to delve more deeply into our understanding of mineral nutrition. Newer topics that involve minerals directly and/or indirectly are attracting increasing attention – and for good reason. As one example, there is a growing body of data pointing to oxidative stress as a relevant issue in modern pork production. As another, the interaction of minerals with fiber has received considerable interest in the past, but recently, the topic has been further elevated by health and environmental concerns. While the above might be considered typical classical nutrition topics, mineral nutrition can also be viewed in a more holistic manner. To what extent is mineral nutrition involved in the observed increase in sow mortality in the past decade? How can and should mineral nutrition be included in precision feeding programs? What further roles of mineral nutrition might be involved in environmental sustainability? Where do we stand on the involvement of mineral nutrition in acid-base balance and does it have greater value in production today than previously considered? This presentation will consider current examples of how mineral nutrition impacts applied swine nutrition as well as overall pork production.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – Seeds and nuts include many dietary minerals as well as trace metals. It is very important to determine the nutritional mineral values in seeds and nuts. Many minerals can be analyzed simultaneously in low concentrations by using inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy. This paper aims to evaluate nutritional values of dietary and trace minerals in selected seeds and nuts. Design/methodology/approach – Dietary minerals in the sunflower seed (Helianthus annuus), pumpkin seed (Cucurbita pepo L.), peanut (Arachis hypogaea) and corn (Zea mays L.) samples collected from the markets in Sakarya city of Turkey have been analyzed. Two digestion procedures were applied by using hydrochloric acid solution and the mixture of nitric acid and hydrogen peroxide solution. Findings – In the evaluation of the mineral contributions of the nuts, the micro-mineral contributions (Cu, Fe, Zn, Mn and Se) were found at higher values than the macro-minerals (Ca, Mg, K and Na). Potassium was determined as the most abundant mineral, and sodium was found at lower levels. The results showed that nuts are trace mineral suppliers and possible Na-K regulator foods in human nutrition. Social/implications – The obtained results for the mineral profile and daily intake values provide useful information that could sensitize the people on the consumption of seeds and nuts. Originality/value – Findings from the digestion procedures and the assessments based on the recommended daily intakes have got valuable impact.

Full textAbstract:
Athletes’ nutrition optimization is very important for the nutritional support in all sport specializations. Macronutrients, as well as minerals and vitamins, are functionally active components that play an important role in nutrition of athletes especially in endurance sport. Optimal use of diets, including specialized sport nutrition, normalizes biochemical, immune, endocrine functions and restores athletes’ energy balance at different stages of sport exercises. Non-optimal athletes’ nutrition of different age groups, inadequate to their physiological needs, and no personalized approach to athletes’ diets, violate their right to adequate safe nutrition, according to international standards and criteria. Nutritional factors are one of the most important key factors in the risk prevention measures for a large number of diet-dependent diseases (e.g. digestive, liver, pancreas, cardiovascular system, endocrine system, and kidney diseases). The review presents the information on energy requirements, balance and availability, types and content of functional products for athletes. It also gives an overview of the specialized food market in Russia.

Full textAbstract:
This review explores the potential of microalgae as a sustainable and nutritionally rich alternative for mineral supplementation in poultry diets, addressing both the opportunities and challenges in this emerging field. Poultry nutrition, pivotal to the health and productivity of birds, traditionally relies on inorganic and organic mineral sources which, while effective, raise environmental and economic concerns. Microalgae offer a promising solution with their high contents of essential minerals, proteins, vitamins, and bioactive compounds. This review delves into the nutritional profiles of various microalgae, highlighting their rich contents of minerals which are crucial for physiological processes in poultry. It examines the bioavailability of these minerals and their impact on poultry health and productivity. Furthermore, it evaluates the environmental sustainability of microalgae cultivation and acknowledges the challenges in using microalgae in poultry diets, particularly in terms of the economic viability of large-scale production and the consistency of nutrient composition. It discusses the importance of rigorous safety assessments and regulatory compliance, given the potential risks of toxins and heavy metals. Overall, this analysis aims to provide a clear understanding of the role microalgae could play in poultry nutrition and address sustainability challenges in animal agriculture while also considering future perspectives and advancements needed in this field.

Full textAbstract:
The efficiency of chelated forms of trace minerals in poultry nutrition and the trace minerals requirements of poultry were discussed in this review. Trace minerals are essential for all farm animals, and these minerals, individually or together with other mineral, take part in many events such as metabolic activities, development and repair of different tissues, growth, immune and reproductive systems. In the last years, lots of studies related to different organic forms of trace minerals on the effects of broiler and laying hens were carried out. The results of these studies have showed that organic trace minerals added to poultry diets at lower levels than inorganic trace minerals are more efficient than inorganic trace minerals and they provide some advantages in poultry nutrition. One of the most important advantages is the reduction of mineral amount excreted in faces. In addition, the results of researches conducted especially in the last few years have shown that the chelated forms of trace minerals strengthen the poultry immune system, and increase the use of other nutrients. However, there are inconsistent between the effects of different forms of trace minerals used in poultry diets on the performance.

Full textAbstract:
The importance of dietary supplementation of animal feeds with trace minerals is irrefutable, with various forms of both organic and inorganic products commercially available. With advances in research techniques, and data obtained from both in-vitro and in-vivo studies in recent years, differences between inorganic and organic trace minerals have become more apparent. Furthermore, differences between specific organic mineral types can now be identified. Adhering to PRISMA guidelines for systematic reviews, we carried out an extensive literature search on previously published studies detailing performance responses to trace minerals, in addition to their corresponding relative bioavailability values. This review covers four of the main trace minerals included in feed: copper, iron, manganese and zinc, and encompasses the different types of organic and inorganic products commercially available. Their impact from environmental, economic, and nutritional perspectives are discussed, along with the biological availability of various mineral forms in production animals. Species-specific sections cover ruminants, poultry, and swine. Extensive relative bioavailability tables cover values for all trace mineral products commercially available, including those not previously reviewed in earlier studies, thereby providing a comprehensive industry reference guide. Additionally, we examine reasons for variance in reported relative bioavailability values, with an emphasis on accounting for data misinterpretation.

Although human breast milk contains significant biomolecules with major impact on growth and development of preterm babies, a diet based exclusively on this milk over a longer period of time can be associated with the development of micronutrient deficiency in this sensitive group of infants. The aim of this study was to determine the content of micronutrients in human breast milk from the mothers of preterm infants and in infant formula, and the influence of mineral content on the osmolality and potential renal solute load. Human breast milk taken during the lactation period was examined, before and after frozen storage, pasteurization and supplementation with a fortifier, with mineral content being determined by inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry. Osmolality of preterm milk and infant formula was measured using an osmometer. During the lactation period of mothers of preterm born babies, the mineral content of the breast milk changed. The concentrations of all examined minerals differed in colostrum and in mature milk. However, there were no significant differences in mineral content in mature milk before and after pasteurization and storage. Supplementation of mature milk with a fortifier increased the concentration of minerals, the final osmolality and the potential renal solute load. The mineral content of mature milk was lower than necessary for the optimal growth of preterm infants, so adequate supplementation with a fortifier is needed to provide biologically important minerals. However, the osmolarity of supplemented milk should be monitored due to the potentially increased pressure on the kidneys of preterm infants.

Mineral deficiencies, such as a lack of iron and zinc, are a global concern and especially in the developing world. Health issues associated with sub-optimal levels of these and other minerals can manifest as mild anemia, or impaired wound healing and immunity, but can also become serious conditions leading to death, abnormal development, and impaired cognition. These health effects become chronic and then begin to translate into widespread societal and economic problems. All minerals, whether ingested directly from crops or as meat via livestock, are derived from agricultural products. Therefore, while we have succeeded in feeding the world, ensuring that the agricultural products being provided is of high nutritional value is the next challenge. Dr Hiroshi Masuda, a plant nutritionist currently based at Akita Prefectural University in Japan, is working alongside Dr May Sann Aung, also a plant nutritionist, to address the iron and zinc biofortification in rice.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Nutrition for replacement gilts aims to support the development of prepubertal gilts towards their physiological maturity in terms of body weight, body tissue composition, structural soundness, and reproductive development. A key concept of gilt nutrition for lifetime productivity is to maintain a positive prepubertal growth rate and reach a target body weight of 115 to 140 kg at puberty. The application of this concept commonly presents a challenge with fast-growing and highly efficient contemporary gilt lines, particularly considering the proportion of gilts exceeding the target body weight at puberty and the negative impacts of overweight gilts on lactational performance, structural soundness, and longevity. Thus, nutritional decisions regarding dietary levels of energy, amino acids, and minerals in the pre- and peripubertal stage can be conflicting. Typically, gilts are fed ad libitum with moderate levels of energy and amino acids because restrictions below the requirements can have a negative effect on puberty onset. In addition, a high plane of nutrition is offered after the pubertal estrus to set ovulation rate for breeding at the next estrus. Moreover, gilts are fed levels of dietary calcium, phosphorus, and trace minerals above the requirements to improve bone mineral density in preparation for fetal development and lactation mobilization. Although these nutritional practices improve gilt performance, they also typically increase weight gain. Thus, there is a need to review nutritional strategies to manage body weight of replacement gilts while attaining optimum reproductive success and lifetime productivity.

Full textAbstract:
The main cause of stunting is due to inadequate food intake according to the needs for growth and development of children, or insufficient nutrition of pregnant women. The low nutritional intake of pregnant and lactating mothers as well as children under five years old who are still growing and developing is generally caused by the wrong diet. One of the efforts to prevent stunting from an early age is to search for several sources of animal source food containing protein, fat and macro essential minerals according to nutritional standards. The purpose of this study was to determine the proximate content including protein and fat nutrition, water content and ash content, as well as mineral content including calcium, iron and phosphorus, from Tembakul (mudskipper) fish flour as the main needs in the growth of children, during pregnancy and lactation. Protein analysis was carried out using the Kjeldahl method, and fat analysis by extraction using a non-polar solvent, while the determination of essential macro minerals calcium and iron was carried out using an Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer, and phosphorus analysis using ultraviolet spectrophotometry. The proximate content of Tembakul (mudskipper) fish flour from the Mempawah mangrove ecosystem is fat content (1.80%), protein content (50.67%), water content (24.58%), and ash content (20.20%). Mudskipper fish flour contains 3 essential minerals, namely Calcium (2.15%), Phosphorus (2.50%) and Iron (270.26 ppm).

The new approaches of the animal production systems make managing the mineral nutrition a challenge. Versus the excessive, trace mineral supply in intensively managed livestock, well above the physiological requirements, is the no trace mineral supplementation of organic systems, which become highly dependent on trace minerals in the soil. Nowadays, in addition to the animal health perspective, trace mineral nutrition must be environment friendly and allow getting mineral-enriched animal products. We are in a new scenario, where a balance between animal trace mineral needs and limits is needed. This papers focuses on different aspects that will help us to enter a critical dialogue in relation to animal-human-environment.

Different varieties of cereal grains differ in their nutritional composition and product making characteristics. Barley is an underutilized and neglected food crop in Pakistan. Mainly barley is used as source of carbohydrates but is also an imperative source of minerals specially potassium, calcium and phosphorus. Although, the importance of these minor constituents as minerals is of significant importance for human nutrition, the micronutrients of different Pakistani barley varieties have not been studied up till now. The aim of this study was to characterize the mineral profile of Pakistani grown barley varieties from different geographical regions. Ash content in different barley varieties ranged between 1.32-2.00%. Potassium (409-585 mg/100g) and phosphorus (307-446 mg/100g) were found to be highest minerals in all varieties while selenium (0.04-0.30 mg/kg) and cobalt (3.1-24.2 µg/kg) were found in trace amount. Overall, the varieties grown in Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa (KPK) province were found to be potentially good source of minerals especially iron and calcium. However, the varieties grown in Sindh province were found to be poor sources of minerals excluding sodium. Three statistically significant clusters were identified using chemometric tools. Barley variety Rakhshan-10 showed highest ash content and overall presented better mineral profile. Significant differences in mineral content were found in all barley varieties grown in different locations. Overall, findings of this study will help the food industries in selection of barley variety/ies with high mineral profile to be incorporated in barley-based food products.

The search for new antioxidant compounds and minerals to combat the nutritional needs of the populace of Nigeria is on the increase. This study investigates the phytochemical composition, antioxidant, proximate, and mineral status of Egyptian Citrus paradise: A popular citrus fruit consumed in Wamakko Local Government Area of Sokoto State using standard procedures. The result revealed that the presence of important phytoconstituents, namely, flavonoids, terpenoids, saponins, phenolics, cardiac glycosides, and reducing sugars with alkaloid was reported to be absent. The juice concentrates exhibit an appreciable but significantly lower (P < 0.05) 1, 1-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazylradical free screening activity compared to the reference antioxidant. The result of the vitamin, proximate, and mineral analysis confirms the concentrate to be a rich source of Vitamin C, minerals such as sodium, magnesium, potassium, calcium, as well as a moderately to poor source of carbohydrate, lipid, protein, fiber, and potassium. These findings will greatly help nutritionist in properly making nutrition recommendations to meet the nutritional priorities of the populace.

Integrating mushrooms into diets supports sustainable development goals by increasing nutritional variety, lowering environmental impact compared to livestock cultivation, strengthening local economies, and improving food security. The present study aimed to assess the nutritional value and mineral content of five edible wild mushrooms belonging to the family Russulaceae. In Manipur, wild mushrooms are primarily gathered and highly valued as a traditional nutritious food among the rural poor. Despite this, their nutritional characteristics have not been adequately studied and documented. Lactifluus dwaliensis, Lactifluus volemus, Russula rosea, Russula nigricans, and Russula virescens collected from Churachandpur, Manipur were initially identified based on morphological and molecular analysis. The nutrient analysis of the wild edible mushrooms collected revealed that they are an excellent source of protein and carbohydrates, while containing low amounts of fat. These mushrooms also showed high levels of essential minerals that are essential for human nutrition and overall health.

Full textAbstract:
Dietary trace minerals are pivotal and hold a key role in numerous metabolic processes. Trace mineral deficiencies (except for iodine, iron, and zinc) do not often develop spontaneously in adults on ordinary diets; infants are more vulnerable because their growth is rapid and intake varies. Trace mineral imbalances can result from hereditary disorders (e.g., hemochromatosis, Wilson disease), kidney dialysis, parenteral nutrition, restrictive diets prescribed for people with inborn errors of metabolism, or various popular diet plans. The Special Issue “Dietary Trace Minerals” comprised 13 peer-reviewed papers on the most recent evidence regarding the dietary intake of trace minerals, as well as their effect toward the prevention and treatment of non-communicable diseases. Original contributions and literature reviews further demonstrated the crucial and central part that dietary trace minerals play in human health and development. This editorial provides a brief and concise overview that addresses and summarizes the content of the Dietary Trace Minerals Special Issue.

Full textAbstract:
This review critically examines the literature on the current status of trace mineral nutrition and the effect of organically complexed trace minerals, focusing on copper (Cu), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn) and zinc (Zn), on broiler chicken production. The requirements of Cu, Fe, Mn and Zn by broiler chickens need to be redefined due to today’s fast growing birds and the availability of organic trace minerals. Zn is one of the key trace minerals for chickens and although it maintains a relatively stable tissue concentration, dietary deficiency of Zn strongly depresses the feed intake, and hence the growth, of broiler chickens. Based on studies using a semiconventional diet, it is reasonable to conclude that the total Zn requirement for broiler chickens is around 60 mg/kg up until day 14 and 70 mg/kg from 14 day onwards, including the Zn content in the basal diet. However, it is difficult to determine the requirements of other organic trace minerals such as Cu, Fe and Mn because under a Zn adequate condition, it is impossible to produce deficient symptoms of these minerals on the basis of growth response. It also identifies gaps in knowledge of inorganic and organic trace mineral nutrition for the modern broiler chicken.

Full textAbstract:
The effects of spraying mineral water onto agricultural crops on their yields and mineral contents were examined. We sprayed a solution containing a large quantity of essential minerals onto the leaves of various agricultural crops every other week for a few months. The mineral concentrations in the agricultural crops and of the sprayed solution were measured by particle induced X-ray emission (PIXE). It was found that the effect of spraying mineral water on the crops was remarkable, especially for rice and soybeans, for which the yields became nearly three times higher and the concentrations of many essential minerals increased in their stems and leaves. However, no clear increase in the mineral contents was observed for polished rice. In addition, not all of the farm products showed positive effects. This indicates that an effective method and timing of spraying mineral water should be examined depending on the conditions of each individual agricultural crop.

Residues from King palm (Archontophoenix alexandrae) processing were used for the production of flours, which were then chemically characterized. The protein content in these flours ranged from 3.62 to 9.75 g/100g and was higher in sifted leaf flour (SLF). The dietary fiber contents varied from 64 to 72 g/100g. These values were high when compared to those of flours used in human nutrition. Analysis of anti-nutritional factors showed phytate contents to be below the levels that affected the bioavailability of minerals in human diet. Tannin contents were compatible with those found in legumes, between 0 and 2000 mg/100g. These flours showed high mineral content, which suggested a possibility for them to be used as food supplement. However, the bioavailability of these minerals could be affected by high total dietary fibre concentrations and anti-nutritional components contained in the samples.

The supply of minerals in the medium is an essential part of plant tissue culture systems. Currently used media are largely based on empirical modifications to a few basic formulations. Optimum requirements vary widely between plant genotypes and culture systems and, as yet, it is not possible to predict the mineral requirements of untried species. A more mechanistic approach is presented which may improve this situation. Published literature and some current research aimed at a better understanding of the process of mineral nutrition in vitro are reviewed.

The community service program aims to improve the productivity of cattle farming in the Cendana farmer group in Pesisir Selatan Regency, West Sumatra. The program focuses on raising awareness about the importance of providing minerals as a crucial component of animal feed. Minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium play a significant role in the growth and health of cattle. The program results reflect an improvement in farmers' understanding of the role of minerals in animal nutrition. It is expected that they will be able to enhance cattle productivity by ensuring the fulfillment of mineral requirements in their feed. This program has the potential to support sustainable farming efforts by preventing mineral deficiencies in cattle. The training imparted theoretical knowledge and taught proper mineral selection, correct dosages, and cattle's health and productivity benefits. This program encourages livestock owners to apply their newfound knowledge in their day-to-day farming practices. This community service program has the potential to significantly improve the quality and well-being of farmers in the region and support the overall growth of the livestock sector.

One of the most industrialized animal production branches of ruminant production successfully requires a blending of theoretical knowledge of nutritional principles with practical stockmanship, maintaining health and dealing with numbers. It is well known that high yielding, dairy cows, require balanced diet with adequate nutrients for yielding. This is not provided with only a few feedstuffs. Milk production in dairy cows is related to the improvements in genetic merit of farm animals and also developments in feed science, feed technology and animal nutrition. In particular, feeds and feed technology studies associated with sustainability, economical perspectives and product quality in the last decade have been in advance. In the present work, recent advances in feed sources and feed technology, minerals (macro and trace minerals ), vitamins and amino acids, feed additives (antibiotics alternative growth stimulants, rumen modulator, organic acids, antioxidants, enzymes, plant extracts), nutrition-products (meat-milk-progeny) quality and functional food production (milk, meat) nutrition-reproduction, nutrition-animal health, nutrition-environmental temperature, nutrition-global warming were evaluated.

Abstract Fetal adaptations to nutrition in utero lead to long-term effects on fetal growth and postnatal performance. Although required in minute amounts, minerals play an essential role in fetal programming, likely through epigenetic mechanisms. Thus, changes in the embryonic and fetal epigenome modulate gene transcription and, consequently, the differentiation, growth, and development of cells and tissues. Despite the growing knowledge in nutritional epigenetics and gene expression, literature on the implications of minerals on the (epi)genome and fetal development is still scarce. Our research investigates fetal and postnatal offspring outcomes in response to maternal nutrition throughout the periconceptual period of pregnancy using a beef cattle model. We have reported placental adaptations through changes in gene expression in beef heifers supplemented with vitamins and minerals (113 g•heifer-1•d-1) during the first 83 days of pregnancy. We found coordinated crosstalk between fetal-maternal tissues and a fine-tuned regulation of placental genes involved with nutrient transport, tissue function and differentiation. Interestingly, the concentrations of minerals and amino acids in the allantoic and amniotic fluids and maternal serum were also affected. Furthermore, genes were differentially expressed in the fetal brain, liver, and muscle in response to the maternal diet. The nutrient-sensing PI3K-Akt signaling pathway was over-represented in muscle and cerebrum, whereas mineral and lipid metabolism were identified in the liver. A second study showed that providing supranutritional maternal selenium supplementation (105 mg of Se/wk as Se yeast) during different trimesters of gestation increased Se concentration in the whole blood and muscle of newborn calves. Likewise, calves born to dams supplemented in the last trimester had increased expression of myogenic genes. Altogether, these findings reinforce the implications of maternal nutrition during pregnancy on fetal programming. However, further studies are still required to understand the regulatory mechanisms and postnatal effects.

Sea foods have been a very good source of nutrients to man. In this research, the nutritional value of three sea foods namely shrimps, oysters and periwinkles obtained from Brass Local Government Area, Bayelsa State were investigated. Vitamins were analyzed with HPLC, while the minerals were determined using AAS. From the findings, phosphorus is the most concentrated mineral in the three seafood studied, with significantly (p≥0.05) higher concentrations of 3112.860ppm±15.204, 2117.863ppm±22.625 and 2906.524ppm±31.850 in shrimp, oyster and periwinkle respectively. The least concentrated minerals were iron and zinc with values of 0.031ppm±0.000 and 0.043ppm±0.001 for Shrimp, 0.056ppm±0.002 and 0.112ppm±0.021 for oyster and 0.056ppm±0.005 and 0.026ppm±0.000 for periwinkle respectively. Despite the fact that oil exploitation activities in Bayelsa state results in pollution, Shrimps, oysters and periwinkles from the study still can still serve as sources of vitamins and minerals, hence, the findings of this study can be applied to future research on human nutrition.

Eastern Cape, followed by Limpopo, have the highest numbers of citizens experiencing food insecurity. The Limpopo and Free State provinces share the highest prevalence rate of children affected by iron deficiency anaemia leading to severe stunting and underweight. Cowpea is an important grain legume that is rich in proteins (20-24%), minerals and vitamins for human and animal nutrition. Cowpea stands to enhance food security and nutrition in rural South African communities. Introduction of cowpea varieties that are rich in proteins, minerals and vitamins will improve the quality of the dietary intakes and nutritional status of the poor. To fast-track the development of improved cowpea varieties that meet the nutritional needs of consumers and farmers, thirty cowpea improved varieties were introduced and evaluated to determine their qualities and the nutrients they contain. This will assist breeders in ascertaining their usefulness and how to deploy the traits in breeding programmes. The seeds were harvested from seed multiplication plots during 2017 growing season, and were analysed in three replications to determine their nutrient and mineral contents (crude protein or CP, Ca, Na, Mg, Fe, Cu, Zn, P, K and moisture). The mineral contents were determined using an atomic absorption spectrophotometer while CP content was determined by the Kjeldahl method using Kjeltec™ Model 2300, as described in Foss Analytical AB manual. Results showed that the varieties exhibited significant (P<0.05) variations for the nutrients and minerals determined except for P and moisture. Eight varieties out-performed the two local control varieties (Glenda and Bechuana White with 24% and 20% respectively) in CP with a range of 25-31%. Many varieties also significantly out-performed the local checks in respect of minerals tested: 4, 12, 6, 5, 14, and 15 varieties exhibited higher concentrations of Ca, Mg, Na, Zn, Cu and Fe, respectively. Results also show that the quality of grains varied in terms of seed colour, texture, and eye colour. The results not only demonstrate that many of the improved varieties were better than the control varieties, but have also provided a database for utilising the promising varieties in breeding programme for the development of new cowpea germplasm with better quality traits and nutrient contents. Variation in seed qualities offers opportunities for farmers and consumers to make choice as these quality traits influence acceptability and marketability of cowpea in South Africa. Key words: Bechuana White, bio-fortification, dietary intake, food security, marketability nutrition, protein content, Vigna unguiculata

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The greatest effects of nutrition on bull fertility occur by providing a relatively high plane of nutrition during calfhood when the seminiferous epithelium of the testes is developing. A high plane of nutrition from 5 to 25 weeks of age results in greater circulating gonadotropin concentrations, greater testicular volume, and greater sperm production at maturity. At this age, diet can be manipulated by creep feeding bull calves with both protein and energy supplements which could accelerate puberty and increase sperm production. Increased rate of gain in bull calves post-weaning can accelerate puberty a few weeks, but excess post-weaning gain and fat buildup in the neck of the scrotum can have detrimental effects on fertility. Considerable emphasis has been placed on specific micronutrient (especially minerals) effects on peripubertal bull fertility. Trace mineral supplementation is believed to be critical for optimal fertility and both copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) supplementation have influenced male fertility in other species. However, there are no guidelines for recommended levels of these minerals to ensure fertility. Providing organic or complexed compared to inorganic mineral to peripubertal bulls have increased liver concentrations of mineral and in some cases, have accelerated puberty, but enhanced fertility-associated measures have not been realized. Because both Cu and Zn are present in the ejaculate, mineral needs during the breeding season may differ from the off-season. During the breeding season, bulls can lose 10 to 20% of their weight and need to re-gain this weight before the next breeding season. Divergent planes of nutrition provided to mature bulls during the off-season revealed enhanced sperm energy and stress-fighting potential with decreasing plane of nutrition. Specific mineral supplementation during the off-season in mature bulls provides no beneficial effect on fertility-associated measures. In summary, significant effects of nutrition post-weaning on bull fertility-associated measures have not been realized.

Full textAbstract:
Minerals fulfil a wide variety of functions in the optimal functioning of the immune system. This review reports on the minerals that are essential for the immune system’s function and inflammation regulation. We also discuss nutritional aspects of optimized mineral supply. The supply of minerals is important for the optimal function of the innate immune system as well as for components of adaptive immune defense; this involves defense mechanisms against pathogens in addition to the long-term balance of pro- and anti-inflammatory regulation. Generally, a balanced diet is sufficient to supply the required balance of minerals to help support the immune system. Although a mineral deficiency is rare, there are nevertheless at-risk groups who should pay attention to ensure they are receiving a sufficient supply of minerals such as magnesium, zinc, copper, iron, and selenium. A deficiency in any of these minerals could temporarily reduce immune competence, or even disrupt systemic inflammation regulation in the long term. Therefore, knowledge of the mechanisms and supply of these minerals is important. In exceptional cases, a deficiency should be compensated by supplementation; however, supplement over-consumption may be negative to the immune system, and should be avoided. Accordingly, any supplementation should be medically clarified and should only be administered in prescribed concentrations.

Full textAbstract:
This study investigated the nutritional ecology of forest elephants in Kibale National Park, Uganda relative to crop-raiding behaviour, and examined nutritional differences between crops and food consumed by wild elephants. An index of dietary nutrient concentration was determined by quantifying the species and parts of plants consumed along feeding trails, collecting food items, and analysing foods for energy, fibre, protein, minerals and secondary compounds. Frequency of crop raiding was quantified over 13 mo. Energy and protein concentration was within suggested levels, but concentrations of several minerals, particularly sodium, were low relative to requirements based on captive elephants and values reported for other wild populations. The very low sodium concentrations of Kibale elephant diets and low availability of alternative sodium sources, such as soil or water, suggest that sodium drive is very likely in this population. Crops consumed by Kibale elephants had higher Na concentrations and lower concentrations of fibre and secondary compounds than wild diets. The known attraction of elephants to mineral sources throughout their range and the low mineral concentration of leaves, fruits, bark, and stems consumed by forest elephant in this study suggest that mineral nutrition is likely to be an important factor driving elephant behaviour and patterns of habitat use.

Malnutrition is both over nutrition and under nutrition. As in Bangladesh the rapidity of under nutrition is too elevated, although slow, the rate of overweight and obesity in children and women is also rising. Under-nutrition results from micronutrient including essential vitamins and minerals deficiencies and both macro (protein energy deficiency). Malnutrition is anticipated to be causes of about 60% of maternal childhood and deaths in Bangladesh. Development in overall nutritional condition has been sluggish over the years. Rate of feasting and underweight both remain inappropriately very high in the country still.

Minerals and trace elements in cow's milk occur as inorganic ions and salts or form complexes with proteins and peptides, carbohydrates, fats and small molecules. The main mineral binder or chelators of calcium are the caseins, αs1-casein, αs2-casein, β-casein and κ-casein, but also whey proteins and lactoferrin bind specific minerals like calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron, sodium and potassium. Less documented is the binding of trace elements. Peptides obtained byin vitroorin vivohydrolysis act as mineral trappers through specific and non-specific binding sites. They may then function as carriers, chelators, of various minerals and thus enhance or inhibit bioavailability. Peptides from milk proteins have found interesting new applications in the food industry as products with improved functionality or as ingredients of dietary products, or used in pharmaceutical industry. Fortification of foods with minerals in a low concentration has for a long time been used in some countries to overcome mineral deficiency, which is an increasing problem in humans. These types of foods are being used to create a new generation of super foods in the industry today.

Most of the health components based foods are boosted by the application of mineral nutrients. Since post green revolution, farmers fertilize the crop for optimum to higher yields which are often overlooked. In addition to higher yield, plant nutrition also affects other human nutritional needs like proteins, oils, vitamins and minerals. Trace elements necessary to human nutrition can be optimized by applying to food crops. Due to various factors like temperature, climate, time of applications, crop adaptability, etc., some nutrients have their own restrictions, and few micronutrients are beneficial and play a significant role in food nutrition making easier access in the plant edible parts by its applications. It is important to note that the foliar application of Zn and Fe at the later crop stage (mid booting stage or early milking stage) is found to be effective than early applications. When compared to related interventions like supplementation and fortification, biofortification was found to be significantly cost-effective in applications to crop and create values for human nutrition.

This study aims to explore the role of nutrition in disease prevention and identify the factors influencing the nutritional status of the population in Indonesia. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, this research analyzes scientific literature and secondary data from official sources such as the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) and the Indonesian Ministry of Health. The analysis results indicate that macro and micronutrients, such as complex carbohydrates, plant-based proteins, healthy fats, and vitamins and minerals, play a significant role in reducing the risk of chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. The Mediterranean diet and plant-based eating patterns have proven effective in improving health and preventing disease. However, Indonesia faces complex nutritional challenges, including a high prevalence of stunting in children and rising obesity rates in adults. Stunting is primarily caused by limited access to nutritious food and lack of nutritional knowledge, while obesity is associated with high-calorie diets and low physical activity. This study suggests increasing nutrition education, access to nutritious food, and promoting healthy lifestyles as essential steps to address nutritional problems in Indonesia and improve the overall quality of life.
