The effect feeding olive-pulp silage (OPS) for 120 days on several blood attributes was studied using 16 rams allotted to two diets consisting of 70% corn silage or 70% OPS. Olive-pulp silage feeding resulted in lower serum total protein, alanine aminotransferase, calcium and phosphorus levels and higher glucose concentration compared to the corn silage diet. Body weight and other blood attribu...

Background: Feeding intolerance is prevalent in very low birth weight (VLBW) neonates and is a barrier for better and faster growth in these neonates. Some studies have supported the administration of oral probiotic to decrease feeding intolerance. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of probiotic on feeding intolerance in VLBW neonates. Methods: This randomized clinical trial st...

the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of frequency of feeding total mixed ration (tmr) on total-tract digestibility, milk production and composition in lactating cows, using meta-analysis and meta-regression approaches. data of fourteen experiments having containing 25 comparisons between treatment (higher feeding frequency) and control (lower feeding frequency) groups, defined...

the present study investigates the effects of water temperature on digestive enzymes activity and food transit time in caspian kutum ( rutilus kutum ) larvae. caspian kutum larvae (532 ± 0.05 and 543 ± 0.02 mg) were divided into two groups with three replicates and reared at different water temperature i.e. 25.6 ± 0.4°c (t 1 ) and 18.4 ± 0.1°c (t 2 ). at the end of the experiment, sampling of i...
