this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of different levels of nettle (urtica dioica) a medicinal plant in starter and grower feeds on performance, carcass traits, blood biochemical and immunity parameters of broilers. a completely randomized design was used with 324 broilers (ross-308) divided in nine treatments and three replicates (with 12 birds in each replicate) 1 to 42 days....

in this project, different nettle plants from north regions of iran including tonekabon, amol and gorgan were collected. the oil was extracted using soxhlet extraction apparatus and was subjected to series of physical and chemical tests and determinations consisting of refractive index, melting point, smoke point, nonsaponifiable matter, iodine value, saponification value, peroxide value, totox...

Urtica dioica was cultivated in soils contaminated with HMs or polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). After four months, up to 33% of the less chlorinated biphenyls and 8% of HMs (Zn, Pb, Cd) had been removed. Bacteria were isolated from the pla...
