Sulfur In Animal Feedstuff

 

Much of the material related to this subject is presented in separate pop-up windows of various scientific studies. The column headed "Rank" gives the relative importance (highest is most relevant) of this reference to "sulfur as a primary nutrient for hair. The importance of sulfur for fingernails and skin is mentioned some here -- more in other pages.

 p7x Sulfur Solves "Tender Wool" The article suggests that a lack of the amino acid cysteine is a major factor causing the inability of the sheep to produce quality wool.

 p7u Crimp Rate For Wool Affected By Sulfur Diet The higher the sulfur the higher the "Crimp Rate" -- means the finer is the wool

 p7v Fleeceweight-Selected Sheep Have Higher Sulfur Usage Sheep with high quality wool? Ranchers would like to find some sort of genetic explanation. However, it appears that it is sulfur, not genetics, that causes high quality wool.

 p7z High Sulfur Proteins Cause High Quality Wool Work to date suggests that several major HSPs [High Sulfur Protein] may be associated with the fibre curvature trait known as crimp frequency.

 p7h Hoof Strength Relates To Sulfur Content Tensile strength was positively associated with sulphur content.

 p7g Hooves Thrive On Sulfur The strength of the keratin filament bundles is determined by their cross-linking via sulphur-containing amino acids.

 p7k Wool Growth Is Remarkably Affected By Sulfur In Diet Wool growth is markedly influenced by nurition; the requirement for energy-yielding nutrients is low and the major nutrients limiting wool growth are essential AA, sulfur-containing AA being especially important.

 p7aa Drug Approach To Increasing Quality of Wool Fails
Administration of epidermal growth factor (EGF) extracted from mouse submaxillary gland to Merino sheep resulted in either complete discontinuities appeared in the fibers resulting in shedding of the entire fleece, or incomplete, in which case the fleece was retained but bore a zone of weakness.

 p7r African Grain Rich In Sulfur This last figure means that fonio protein contains almost twice as much methionine as egg protein contains. Thus, fonio has important potential not only as survival food, but as a complement for standard diets.

 p7m Effect of sulfur fertilization on utilization of corn by lambs It appears that S fertilization was more effective than S supplementation in improving efficiency of N utilization.

This modification seems to be due entirely to an alteration in the overall composition of the high-sulphur proteins and to an increase in their proportion in the fibre.
