Effect of Sodium Taurocholate on Fat Malabsorption Induced by Feeding Unhealed Soybean Proteins.

Abstract

Summary The reduction in ability to absorb fat by chicks receiving diets containing unheated soybean meal can be overcome by supplementing the diet with sodium tauro-cholate or soybean lecithin. Cystine and taurine supplementation of the diet was not beneficial to fat absorption in chicks fed unhealed soybean meal. Composition and secretion of bile collected from the gall bladder was not affected by feeding unheated soybean protein.
