Journal Article
Daş, G., Brameld, J. M., Parr, T., Seyedalmoosavi, M. M., Görs, S., & Metges, C. C. (2024). Effects of feeding earthworm or vermicompost on early life performance of broilers under challenging dietary conditions. Poultry Science, 103(12), Article 104341. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.psj.2024.104341

We investigated if feeding earthworms (EW) or vermicompost (VC) to broilers improves performance and aids in coping with dietary challenges from a soluble non-starch polysaccharide (NSP)-enriched diet (negative control diet; CON-). Newly-hatched male... Read More about Effects of feeding earthworm or vermicompost on early life performance of broilers under challenging dietary conditions.

The juvenile hormone analogue, pyriproxifen, alters protein and fat composition of Tenebrio molitor larvae (2024)
Journal Article
Hill, V., Lopez-Viso, C., Brameld, J., Salter, A., & Parr, T. (2024). The juvenile hormone analogue, pyriproxifen, alters protein and fat composition of Tenebrio molitor larvae. Journal of Insects as Food and Feed, https://doi.org/10.1163/23524588-00001043

Maximising the yield of product from livestock is common practice in the agriculture industry and there is potential to extend this practice to the emerging insect industry, to produce high-quality, sustainable protein. Tenebrio molitor larvae, commo... Read More about The juvenile hormone analogue, pyriproxifen, alters protein and fat composition of Tenebrio molitor larvae.

Active vitamin D increases myogenic differentiation in C2C12 cells via a vitamin D response element on the myogenin promoter (2024)
Journal Article
Alliband, K. H., Parr, T., Jethwa, P. H., & Brameld, J. M. (2024). Active vitamin D increases myogenic differentiation in C2C12 cells via a vitamin D response element on the myogenin promoter. Frontiers in Physiology, 14, Article 1322677. https://doi.org/10.3389/fphys.2023.1322677

Background: Skeletal muscle development during embryogenesis depends on proliferation of myoblasts followed by differentiation into myotubes/multinucleated myofibers. Vitamin D (VD) has been shown to affect these processes, but there is conflicting e...
