Besides dry matter (DM), protein, ether extract (EE), calcium (Ca), and potassium (K) were higher in the ewe milk from the C group compared with the G group (P 0.05). At 60 days of age, the lambs were orchidectomized to collect their testes for macroscopy, histological, neutron activation, and X-ray fluorescence analysis. The animals were weighed from birth to 60 days of age, at fortnightly intervals. All lambs were offspring of Santa Inês ewes, fed on ration either with or without cottonseed during mating, gestation, and lactation, thus forming two treatments: control group (C) without cottonseed and treatment group with cottonseed (G). Eighteen lambs were used with an average LW at birth of 4 ± 1.0 kg. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of ewe diet, with and without cottonseed (gossypol), on the testicular development of lambs from birth to weaning through the assessment of lamb live weight (LW), macro and histological morphology of testes, and mass fraction of chemical elements by neutron activation analysis (NAA) and microprobe X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, as well as the multielement distribution map in the testes. In mammals, part of the offspring phenotype is influenced by dam nutrition.
Unfortunately, this attention is mostly cosmetic, for now.The use of cotton co-products in animal feed is restricted by the presence of gossypol, which is a toxic and highly reactive molecule of complex minerals. Anneke: “Vegetables are fun again, and retailers are making an effort for the fresh produce department again. It pleases her that packaging is gradually disappearing again from the vegetable departments. For both good management and presentation of the fresh produce department and for providing guidance on tools to help consumers eat more vegetables.
After mostly cutting fresh produce chefs in recent years, they now face the task of overcoming a lack of knowledge. “In coming years, there will be even more room for fresh in the supermarkets, under the influence of online.” According to food-rebel and trendwatcher Anneke Ammerlaan, retailers are facing a major challenge in that field. “The penchant for authenticity and the search for the special will last a while longer,” he says.
He expects the trend to just continue in 2017. More attention for the vegetable range has been a trend that’s been happening for some time now, according to Professor Gino van Ossel from the Vlerick Business School.
