The nutritional quality of “Turn Brown” weaning diet was assessed in this study. “Turn Brown” diet was prepared from the combination of equal proportions of ground maize, groundnut, soybean and guinea corn. The nutritional quality of “Turn Brown” was evaluated from its total nitrogen and protein contents, compared to the contents in Basal and Reference diets. Also, the diets were fed to rats for 10 days to assess the protein quality of the diets. The results showed that the total nitrogen and protein contents of Turn Brown were significantly higher (P<0.05), compared respectively, to the contents in reference and basal diets. Also, the nitrogen and protein intakes, carcass and faecal nitrogen were comparable with those obtained for rats on reference diet; but significantly higher (P<0.05) than those for rats on basal diet. The net protein utilization and biological value obtained for rats on “Turn Brown” were significantly higher (P<0.05) than those for rats on reference diet; while protein efficiency ratio, net protein retention and true digestibility obtained for rats on “Tom Brown” did not differ significantly (P>0.05) from those obtained for rats on reference diet. The weight change obtained for rats on “Tom Brown” was insignificantly higher (P>0.05) than that obtained for rats on reference diet. The results of this study showed that “Turn Brown” is generally of higher nutritional quality compared to those of other diets.







Important Note if Turn Brown is used for weaning:
“In Ghana, mothers conventionally fed their children complementary foods made with flour from cereals. A common mix made with roasted corn is known as Turn Brown. But the purely corn flour based Turn brown need to be modified to add proteins when used as weaning for infants. The Ghana Health Service and UNICEF began teaching women’s groups how to make a modified weaning food recipe during the 1980s: the new mix combined 4-parts cereal (maize) and 1-part legume (soybeans, cowpeas, and groundnuts). The legumes added protein crucial to infants’ health.”

US and Russia to hold talks toward the beginning of January, says Putin. Polina Ivanova and Max Seddon in Moscow Vladimir Putin said the US and Russia will hold dealings about the Kremlin's complaints against Nato and western apprehensions Moscow will attack Ukraine in Geneva toward the beginning of January. President Putin said Russia had seen a "positive response" from the US in the wake of distributing two arrangements of draft proposition last week that would basically revamp the post-cold conflict security request in Europe by making Nato vow not to concede any future individuals from the previous Soviet Union, primarily Ukraine.

Lucrative Pop Phenomenon

New post Lucrative Pop Phenomenon Ogden Payne  ,     CONTRIBUTOR I write for, and about, the up-and-coming musician.     SACRAMENTO, CA - OCTOBER 11: The Weeknd performs during his 'Starboy World Tour' at Golden 1 Center on October 11, 2017 in Sacramento, California. (Photo by Tim Mosenfelder/Getty Images) The Weeknd silently graced streaming sites with his latest album  My Dear Melancholy. Outside of music, he appears to be a man of few words whose identity seems to be as somber his latest album title. His career, however, is much more colorful. His accolades include a collection of Grammy Awards and a spot on the cover of FORBES, amounting to the perfect balance between art and business. But peeling back the layers to understand how exactly the Toronto native became such a worldwide phenomenon is a thought as alluring as the singer’s persona.

Drinking Water Crisis in Rural Towns

Drinking water is essential for life, but many rural towns in the U.S. are struggling to provide safe and reliable water to their residents. For decades, these towns have neglected their drinking water systems, resulting in aging infrastructure, water quality violations, and financial challenges. In this blog post, we will explore some of the causes and consequences of this crisis, and what can be done to address it. Causes of the Crisis One of the main causes of the crisis is the shrinking population of many rural towns. As people move to urban areas or other states, the tax base and the customer base of the water systems decline. This means less revenue to cover the costs of operation, maintenance, and improvement of the water systems. According to a report by the American Bar Association³, in 2015, 9 percent of all water systems had a documented violation of water quality standards, exposing 21 million people to unhealthy drinking water. These violations were more likely to occur in...
