A floor pen study was conducted to determine the efficacy of vitamin D source and level on performance and bone mineralization of broilers fed dietary treatments for six weeks. Dietary treatments included: 1) Basal diet supplemented with NRC recommended levels of vitamin D3 (200,000 ICU/ton); 2) Basal plus 2.5 million ICU (MICU) D3 /ton; 3) basal plus 2.5 MICU D3/ton plus 62.5 mg Hy-D/ton; 4) b...

This study was carried out at El Takamoly Poultry Project, Fayoum, Egypt,. A total number of 498 (450 breeder hens and 48 cocks) birds of Golden Montazah (GM) and Fayoumi (F) strains at 42 wks of age were used to evaluate the effects of two dietary levels of Se as Sel-Plex (0.1 or 0.2 mg/Kg diet) on breeder hens performance.

This paper deals with variations in biomass and in the production of Eichhornia crassipes (water hyacinth) in a eutrophic tropical reservoir. Net production was assessed by both a traditional method and a demographic approach. The initial biomass ranges from 96 g DW.m-2 to a maximum of 2027 g DW.m-2. Net production estimates varied greatly according to which method was used to calculate them (t...

y Available control technologies and strategies include direct PM2.5 reduction technologies such as fabric filters (baghouses), electrostatic precipitators (ESPs), and diesel particulate filters (DPFs). Once installed, these strategies range in cost-effectiveness from as little as $48/ton PM2.5 to $685/ton PM2.5 (2010$) or more, depending on the source category. However, they also may involve t...
