Use of population-weighted Estimated Average Requirements as a basis for Daily Values on food labels [PDF]
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2006 In both Canada and the United States, nutrition labeling is now mandatory for most packaged foods. The labeling is intended to help consumers select foods that can contribute to a healthful diet, but current label values are based on outdated notions of nutrient requirements.

Reduction of predictive uncertainty in estimating irrigation water requirement through multi-model ensembles and ensemble averaging [PDF]
Geoscientific Model Development, 2014 Abstract. Irrigation agriculture plays an increasingly important role in food supply. Many evapotranspiration models are used today to estimate the water demand for irrigation. They consider different stages of crop growth by empirical crop coefficients to adapt evapotranspiration throughout the vegetation period.

The Potential Contribution of Fortified Maize Flour, Oil, Rice, Salt, and Wheat Flour to Estimated Average Requirements and Tolerable Upper Intake Levels for 15 Nutrients in 153 Countries [PDF]
Nutrients, 2021 Food fortification is designed to improve the nutritional profile of diets. The purpose of this research was to estimate the potential nutrient contribution of fortified maize flour, oil, rice, salt, and wheat flour in 153 countries, using the national intake (or availability) of the food and the nutrient levels required for fortification.

Estimation of the tryptophan requirement in piglets by meta-analysis
Animal, 2012 There is no consensus concerning the Trp requirement for piglets expressed relative to Lys on a standardized ileal digestible basis (SID Trp : Lys). A meta-analysis was performed to estimate the SID Trp : Lys ratio that maximizes performance of weaned ...

Calculating Estimated Average Requirements (EARs) for zinc (Zn) According to Dietary Phytate
The FASEB Journal, 2008 Background: Estimation of the DRIs (dietary reference intakes) for Zn by the Institute of Medicine (IOM, 2001) specifically included calculations only for phytate‐free diets. The objective of this investigation was to apply a mathematical model (J Nutr, 2007) of daily total absorption of Zn (TAZ) as a function of daily total dietary ...

Sampling effort required to obtain repeatable average size estimates of juvenile fish [PDF]
Aquatic Biology, 2011 Larval and juvenile fish cohorts often have skewed size distributions due to inter-individual variation in growth rates. A resampling analysis was used to investigate how much sampling effort is required to achieve repeatable average size estimates in populations of juvenile yellowtail kingfish Seriola lalandi Valenciennes.

Does the Naked Neck Meat Type Chicken Yield Lower Methionine Requirement Data?
Animals, 2015 Methionine (Met) requirement studies with homozygous (Na/Na) and heterozygous (Na/na) naked neck meat type chicken utilized 144 birds of average weight (50% each genotype and sex) within two N balance experiments involving both the starter (d10–20) and ...

Response of Crop Water Requirement and Yield of Irrigated Rice to Elevated Temperature in Bangladesh
International Journal of Agronomy, 2021 In the changing climatic condition, temperature is the most vulnerable parameter and is projecting a trend of increase in the future. Crop growth and development process depend largely on air temperature.
