“…In ruminants, absorbability can be low and K reduces the efficiency of absorption by inhibiting the two active transport systems in the rumen wall that carry magnesium against the electrochemical gradient. However, K does not affect absorption beyond the rumen (MacDonald et al, 2010).…”

“…The UK Agricultural Research Council had recommended that the requirement for rumendegradable S should be calculated by multiplying the rumen-degradable nitrogen requirement by 0.07, i.e., equivalent to an N:S ratio of 14:1 (NRC, 2001). The ratio of N:S in wool protein is narrower, at 5:1, and the supply of S-containing amino acids may be limiting for sheep with a high rate of wool production (MacDonald et al, 2010). Also, S as a macro element is essential in ruminant feeds, having rumen where foregut fermentation and microbial nutrient synthesizing takes place.…”

Four different browses viz Gmelina arborea Roxb, Gliricidia sepium Jacq, Azadirachta indica A. Juss, and Leucaena leucocephala Lam were used to investigate the effect of browse and sampling time on silage major minerals interactions in relation to nutrient requirements of goats. The four browses were ensiled in air-tight rubber drum for 90 days and samplings were done at day 0, 30, 60, and 90 for mineral analysis. Mineral interactions included calcium and phosphorus, calcium and magnesium, calcium and sulfur, phosphorus and magnesium, sodium and potassium, potassium and magnesium, potassium/calcium + magnesium along with nitrogen and sulfur ratios. All the values/ratios were within range of optimum values for goats. Hence, goats fed with these browses will neither experience any clinical and sub-clinical deficiency symptoms nor the attendant low productivity and reproduction associated with sole feeding, thereby reducing the extra cost of procuring custom or commercial salt supplements.

“…Anthropometry is a reasonably accurate bedside tool to detect the protein depleted status of cirrhotic patients when used by a single trained examiner. [ 5 29 ] Measurements such as height, weight and body mass index (BMI), skin-fold thickness (triceps, biceps, subscapular, suprailiac) and MAMC are simple, quick, cheap and noninvasive methods of estimating weight-for-height, subcutaneous fat and somatic protein stores.

Liver transplantation (LT) is a major surgery performed on patients with end stage liver disease. Nutrition is an integral part of patient care, and protein-energy malnutrition is almost universally present in patients suffering from liver disease undergoing LT. Nutrition assessment of preliver transplant phase helps to make a good nutrition care plan for the patients. Nutrition status has been associated with various factors which are related to the success of liver transplant such as morbidity, mortality, and length of hospital stay. To assess the nutritional status of preliver transplant patients, combinations of nutrition assessment methods should be used like subjective global assessment, Anthropometry mid arm-muscle circumference, Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and handgrip strength.
