Dietary Electrolyte Balance Deb

Mongin 1980 and many subsequent researchers have defined the place of electrolytes in nutrition.

Dietary electrolyte balance deb. The major effect of this is the development of a complex alienation of the body chemistry following a rise in the deep body temperature. The value of dietary electrolyte balance deb defined as the concentrations of na k cl in meq kg as a practical predictor of growth in poultry is unresolved. All the body systems are affected when dietary electrolyte balance deb is lost. Deb of 250meq has been shown to be required for optimal productive metabolism in chickens mongin 1981.

All the body systems are affected when dietary electrolyte balance deb is lost. Diets with negative deb are more likely to cause metabolic acidosis than diets with positive deb. Calculated as na k cl in meq kg of diet on ileal endogenous amino acid eaa losses in 48 d old broiler chickens. As such the very significant balance between acids and bases in the organism is closely related to the cation anion balance.

The major effect of this is the development of a complex alienation of the body chemistry following a rise in the deep body temperature. Normal heat regulating systems are soon overcome hyperventilation panting occurs in an effort to cool the body by. Loss of electrolyte balance is perhaps the most serious outcome. In its simplest form the deb is the balance between na k and cl in the feed and is calculated as follows.

Why deb is significant. The major effect of this is the development of a complex alienation of the body chemistry following a rise in the deep body temperature. All the body systems are affected when dietary electrolyte balance deb is lost. Deb meq kg 1 000 ã na g kg 23 k g kg 39 cl g kg 35 5 the dietary electrolyte balance is an indication of the metabolisable ions that can generate or consume acid during metabolism.

What made mongin et al s studies pivotal was the fact that as animal nutritionists we finally had a tool with which to calculate dietary electrolyte balance. Dietary electrolyte balance is an indication of the metabolizable ions that can generate or consume acid during metabolism. A constant dietary electrolyte balance deb of 230 meq kg was maintained but a second 156 g kg cp diet had a deb of 120 meq kg and energy densities of the 156 g kg cp diet were reduced in the. Dietary ion content is known to alter the acid base balance in freshwater fish.

The current study investigated the metabolic impact of acid base disturbances produced by differences in dietary electrolyte balance deb in the meagre argyrosomus regius an euryhaline species.
