This study was carried out to evaluate the effects of Satureja khuzistanica essential oils (SKEO) on performance, serum metabolites and differential counts of white blood cells in broiler chickens. A total of 280 one-day-old straight-run Cobb 500 broiler chickens were allocated into seven treatment groups with four replicates of 10 birds each from day 1 to 42 of age. The birds were continuously...

In recent years, investigating halophilic and halotolerant fungi enzymes has confirmed their significant potential in the biodegradation of crude oil. The aim current study was to evaluate oil by fungal Embellisia sp. KJ59 Alternaria KJ66. strains were isolated on Czapek Dox Agar (CDA), potato dextrose agar (PDA), malt extract (MEA) containing 10% NaCl. Seven that could grow salinity, ranging f...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of crude glycerin on performance and carcass characteristics in finishing wether lambs. Thirty black-faced, Suffolk-cross wether lambs (44.1 +/- 5.6 kg initial BW) were stratified and blocked by BW to 1 of 5 individually fed, isocaloric, isonitrogenous dietary treatments containing 0, 5, 10, 15, or 20% crude glycerin (88% pure) on a DM bas...

background: crude oil is a very complex composition with harmful effects in human health such as carcinogenesis and blood effects. using the bioassay method to assess the effect of purification process produces useful results. in this study the effect of ozonation to reduce the toxicity of crude oil in the water is investigated. methods: standard sample of the water soluble fraction were prepar...

This study examined the control of renal hemodynamics and tubular function, as well as systemic hemodynamics, during obesity-induced hypertension in chronically instrumented conscious dogs. Mean arterial pressure, cardiac output, and heart rate were monitored 24 hours a day using computerized methods, water and electrolyte balances were measured daily, and renal hemodynamics were measured each ...

This study was undertaken to develop molecular tools to assess water quality using diatoms as the biological model. Molecular approaches were designed following the development of a rapid and easy RNA extraction method suited to diatoms and the sequencing of genes involved in mitochondrial and photosystem metabolism. Secondly the impact of cadmium was evaluated at the genetic level by q-PCR on ...

Calf diarrhea can commonly lead to dehydration and metabolic acidosis due the loss of fluid electrolytes. The objective this randomized clinical trial was examine differences between treating male dairy calves experiencing with either a basic bicarbonate electrolyte powder (BBP) composed sodium (50.7 mmol/L); mixed buffer (MBP) including (33.8 mmol/L), citrate (8.4 acetate (6.3 potassium (1.9 o...
