We initiated a literature search to determine the kinds of functional groups that attract rodents. The object of the search was to try to define the aromatic substituents on ring "A" that have been shown to have attractant properties. This effort met with no success. Much has been published on the types of feed grains and mixtures thereof that are preferred by rodents but little on the types of chemicals.

Thus, feed grains meet part of the requirement for dietary nutrients. Other feed components are needed to balance the diet completely. Combining the grains and other ingredients into a final dietary mixture to meet the bird s nutritional needs requires information about the nutrient content of each feedstuff and its suitability as a feed ingredient.

Soybean proteins are widely used as food additives in European derived societies, primarily in processed foods, and this trend continues to grow annually. This makes soybean proteins a pervasive component of the human diet in industrialized countries. Solvent extracted soybean meal is also widely used as an animal feed additive (ref. 5, for review), because it is an inexpensive source of high quality protein that contains more of essential amino acids lysine and tryptophan than most cereal crops. Combined with corn, the other primary feed grain used in the United States, a ration can be assembled that is adequate in both sulfur amino acid and lysine contents, and provides a high protein diet that is well balanced for poultry and pigs. 

Ammonia is important in agriculture as a fertilizer and an additive to animal feed grains. In industry, it is a raw material for the manufacture of many products such as nylon, as shown in Figure 17.1.
