Increasing attention is being paid to use of organic fertilizers such as manure and vermicompost which can increased yield and protect the environment. Replacing chemical fertilizers with manures has the benefit of low production cost and imparts beneficial effects on soil. Then an experiment was conducted during 2013 to measure effects of organic fertilizers on essential oil of dill (Anethum g...

High intake of dietary fiber is claimed to protect against development of colorectal cancer. Barley is a rich source of dietary fiber, and possible immunomodulatory effects of barley polysaccharides might explain a potential protective effect. Dietary fiber was isolated by extraction and enzyme treatment. A mixed-linked -glucan (WSM-TPX, 96.5% -glucan, Mw 886 kDa), an arabinoxylan (WUM-BS-LA, 9...

Objective: Results obtained from literature reviews and human studies have shown the analgesic effects of clove plant in toothache. The present work was undertaken in order to investigate the possible analgesic effect of clove oil in mice. Materials and Methods: Fifty mice were divided into 5 groups: 1) Saline; 2) Essential oil (Ess) 2%, 3) Ess 5%, 4) Ess10% and 5) Ess 20%. The hot plate test ...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of barley green fodder produced by hydroponics system on the performance of feedlot calves. in a completely block randomized experiment, 24 cross bred (holstein×local) male calves were assigned randomly to one of the two treatments (diets) that were either control (grain barley) or hydroponic barley green fodder (bgf) that was included to...

introduction high-producing dairy cows require large amounts of concentrates that are rich in energy and crude protein to meet their nutrient requirements. cereal grains and oil supplements are commonly used for increasing energy density of diets fed to high-producing dairy cows. dietary grain source (barley vs. corn) and oil supplement (soybean- vs. fish oil) resulted in varied dry matter inta...

Background and Aims: Because of the toxicity and side-effects of synthetic drugs, there is a growing interest in biomedical plants. The aim of this study was to evaluate in vitro antileishmanial activity of Carum copticum essential oil against Leishmania (L) major. Materials and Methods: Nineteen experimental groups were designed to determine the effect of Carum copticum essential oil against ...

abstract in order to evaluate the effects of different organic and biological fertilizers on quantity and quality of essential oil of fennel an experiment was conducted in a completely randomized block design with three replications. the experimental treatments were two organic (compost and vermicompost) and two biological (pseudomonas putida and azotobacter chroococcum ) fertilizers, their all...

The effect of essential oils (EO) of medical plant seeds and spices on rumen microbial fermentation of alfalfa hay, sugar beet pulp and barley grain (as substrate) were evaluated under in vitro conditions. In vitro incubations were carried out using the gas production method with glass syringes. Treatments were as follows; a control (no additive), monensin, EO of cinnamon, black pepper seed, cu...
