A general method for predicting the weight of water in the empty bodies of pigs

Animal Science, 1995
AbstractAs water is the major component of the pig body its accurate prediction is of importance in pig growth models. It has become conventional to predict the weight of water, WA kg, from the weight of protein, P kg. The purpose of this paper is to find how this can be done across pig genotypes of different mature size.

Gastric Emptying, Body Weight and Symptoms in Primary Anorexia Nervosa

British Journal of Psychiatry, 1993
In a double-blind trial, 12 out-patients with primary anorexia nervosa received, for six weeks, either 10 mg cisapride or placebo, three times a day. Cisapride accelerated gastric emptying of a radiolabelled semisolid meal in all six patients; five gained weight and symptoms of gastric retention ameliorated in four.

EMPTY BODY WEIGHTS, CARCASS WEIGHTS AND OFFAL PROPORTIONS IN BULLS AND STEERS OF DIFFERENT MATURE SIZE

Canadian Journal of Animal Science, 1984
Empty body weights, carcass weights and offal proportions were compared in 33 young beef bulls and 33 beef steers of different mature body size (35 small or mainly British breed crosses, 31 large or Continental crosses). All cattle were fed a high energy diet based on corn silage and high moisture corn from weaning to slaughter.

Using carcass information as a predictor variable of empty body weight, empty body weight gain and retained energy of hair sheep

The Journal of Agricultural Science
Abstract The objective was to develop equations to predict carcass weight (CW), use CW to predict empty body weight (EBW); and carcass gain (CG) to predict empty body weight gain (EBWG) and retained energy (RE) in hair sheep. To generate the prediction models, a data set was composed of individual measurements from 569 sheep encompassing intact ...

The effect of live weight gain and live weight loss on body composition of Merino wethers: chemical composition of the noncarcass organs and the empty body

Journal of Animal Science, 1994
Chemical composition of the noncarcass organs, combined noncarcass organs, and fleece-free empty body (FFEB) was measured during live weight gain (LWG) and live weight loss (LWL) to determine the effect of different periods of normal and retarded growth on chemical composition of noncarcass organs and FFEB.

Liraglutide: short‐lived effect on gastric emptying—long lasting effects on body weight

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, 2012
Aim: Previous studies with the novel once daily glucagon‐like peptide‐1 (GLP‐1) analogue liraglutide and the GLP‐1 receptor agonist exenatide have revealed profound insulinotrophic and antidiabetic effects, but also potent effects on gastric emptying (GE) and long‐term and lasting reductions in body weight.

A computer model to predict empty body weight in cattle from diet and animal characteristics

Journal of Animal Science, 1992
A computer model was developed to predict empty BW in cattle as a function of diet (forage NDF, physical form of forage [hay vs silage and pasture], proportion of dietary concentrates) and animal (full BW) characteristics. The model was empty BW = full BW * (1 - GFILL), where GFILL is gut fill expressed as a fraction of full BW.

The influence of empty body weight and mature weight of the genotype on energy density of empty body gain in growing lambs.

Journal of animal science, 1986
From data reported by authors who had serially determined the chemical composition of the empty body of growing lambs of a wide range of genotypes, the energy density of empty body gains (E/G) at intervals from 20 to 50 kg empty body weight (EBW) were estimated.

Empty Body Component Gain of Rats Grown at Different Rates to a Range of Final Weights

The Journal of Nutrition, 1984
Rate of gain by final weight response surfaces for gain of empty body water, protein, lipid and ash were defined with data from 62 male Sprague-Dawley rats. Rats were fed for 21 days at 100, 88, 76, 64, 52 or 40% of ad libitum intake within each of five initial weight groups ranging from 84 to 286 g.

Variation of Stomach Shapes in Gastric Emptying Scintigraphy: Correlation With Gastric Emptying Results, Body Weight, and Symptoms

Neurogastroenterology & Motility
ABSTRACTBackgroundAlthough different gastric shapes are encountered in gastric emptying scintigraphy (GES), it is not known whether gastric shape is related to gastric emptying (GE) or symptoms.AimTo investigate different stomach shapes observed during GES and examine their associations with GE, body weight, and gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms ...
