abstract             this study was conducted to investigate the effects of different levels of yeast and molasses on chemical composition and nutritional value of artiplex lentiformis silage. the levels of yeast include: zero (control), 2.5 and 5 g/kg dry matter and levels of molasses include: zero (control), 10 and 15 percent that were added to atriplex and then ensiled. the experiment arrang...

The newly described uncoupling proteins, UCP2 and UCP3, may play a role in regulating energy expenditure (EE) in humans. GH deficiency (GHD) is associated with decreased lean body mass, increased adiposity, and reduced EE, which are reversed by GH treatment. In the present study we investigated whether GH treatment for 4 months influenced the expression of UCPs in skeletal muscle and adipose ti...

Corn (Zea mays L.) is one of the key grain crops in China. In fields, two soybean (Glycine max and peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.), which have nitrogen-fixing capacity (NFC), are generally used to intercrop with corn improve plant physiology production ability even under fertilizer reduction. To explore a more scientific reasonable way corn, simultaneously reduce use chemical fertilizers pesticide...

Many chemicals released into the environment are capable of disrupting normal sex steroid balance, including the oral contraceptive ethinyl estradiol (EE) and the plastic monomer bisphenol A (BPA). EE and BPA are reported to impair reproductive organ development in laboratory animals; however, effects of lower doses of these chemicals have been debated. The goal of the current study was to dete...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect on intake, apparent digestibility, and ruminal constituents of sheep in response to the addition of increasing levels of babassu mesocarp flour (BMF) to the diet. Twenty crossbred sheep (29.17 ± 2.23 kg) were used in a randomized complete block design. Lambs were confined for 21 days, with 16 days for diet adaptation and 5 days for data collectio...

Abstract Objective This study aimed to examine the effect of personality traits on a simple problem-solving test intelligence. Method The sample consisted 82 undergraduates. Participants completed an online battery that included open source Five Factor Model measure (IPIP FFM), Grit scale, Need for Cognition (NFC) and Cognitive Reflection Test (CRT). CRT is 3 question An interaction variable po...

The objective of this experiment was to quantify intakes, duodenal flows, and ruminal apparent synthesis (AS) of B-vitamins in lactating dairy cows fed diets varying in forage and nonfiber carbohydrate (NFC) contents. Eight (4 primiparous and 4 multiparous) ruminally and duodenally cannulated Holstein cows were assigned to 4 dietary treatments in a replicated 21-d period, 4 x 4 Latin square des...
