Studies were conducted using 68 males from the seventh generation of a line of meat-type breeder chickens selected for increased duration of fertility of frozen-thawed semen and 69 males of the randomly selected control line. These chickens were used to determine the presence or absence of differences between the selected and control lines with respect to fertility and spermatozoal motility whe...

this study was carried out to determine the effects of different levels of protein and probiotic (protexin) on performance, and immune response in ross (308) broiler exposed to heat stress. five hundred and forty one-day old broilers were employed in a compeletly randomized design (3×3 factorial arrangement) of 3 replicates for each treatment. the diets were formulated according to nrc (1994) r...

Ten crossbred (Suffolk X Rambouillet) whether lambs were randomly assigned to receive 0 or 10 ppm cimaterol (CIM) in a completely mixed high-concentrate diet for 8 wk. Total weight gain and feed efficiency were improved 29% (P less than .05) and 14%, respectively, in the CIM-fed group. CIM also improved (P less than .01) dressing percent by 4.9 percentage points and improved yield grade by one ...

abstractin order to evaluate the effect of vermicompost and humic acid on quantitative and qualitative traits of sod turf, a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with three replications was established in research farm in shahrekord university. treatments were vermicompost (zero, 5, 10 and 15 v/v percent) and humic acid (zero, 150 and 250 g/m2), respectively. some traits s...

It is unclear which ratios of yeast extract to sucrose result in maximum egg production and survival in many tephritid fruit flies. Objectives here were to determine yeast extract:sucrose ratios that maximize egg loads without compromising survival in western cherry fruit fly, Rhagoletis indifferens Curran, and their effects on mortality caused by spinosad bait (GF-120). Yeast extract:sucrose r...

The objective of the current study was to assess effects utilizing Moringa oleifera at various inclusion levels in fish meal-based diets for common carp fish. In contrast control treatments without oleifera, leaves floated on water MOLW when present this experiment doses 2%, 4%, and 6%. Fish are fed twice daily a 3 percent weight feeding ratio. We weigh every two weeks up until last week (84 da...

to evaluate the effect of arbuscular mycorrhiza (glomus mosseae) under salt stress on physiological and some nutrient absorption in new guinea impatiens (impatiens hawkeri), an experiment established in complete random design with three replications (three pots for each replication) in greenhouse in shahrekord university in 2014. treatments were inoculation of substrate with three levels of arb...

Graded levels of a trace mineral premix containing an organic (Bioplex) source of Cu, Fe, Mn, and Zn was evaluated with additional treatments containing organic Zn or Fe. Grower-finisher pigs were fed from 25 to 115 kg BW. The number of pigs in the experiment, the breeding/genetics of the pigs, the management, and the average age of the pigs were previously reported. The experiment was conducte...
