The aim of this study was to evaluate the nutrient digestibility, ruminal fermentation and microbial protein synthesis of mid-lactating cows fed high dietary levels of monensin. Twelve Holstein cows were distributed into four 3 × 3 latin squares and assigned to the following treatments: control (CON), monensin 24 (M24, addition of 24 mg monensin/kg diet DM) and monensin 48 (M48, addition of 48 ...

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of dietary putrescine (PUT) on broiler’s response fed low crude protein (CP) diets. A total of 192 male day old chicks were fed with four dietary treatments including two levels of PUT (0 and 0.03%) and two levels of CP (normal and low) with factorial combinations. Weekly growth performance, nutrient digestibility and intestinal morphology (...

background: the poor permeability of the plasma and nuclear membranes to dna plasmids are two major barriers for the development of these therapeutic molecules. therefore, success in gene therapy approaches depends on the development of efficient and safe non-viral delivery systems. objectives: the aim of this study was to investigate the in vitro delivery of plasmid dna encoding hpv16 e7 gene ...

This experiment aimed to investigate the effects of liquid metabolite (LM) produced by Lactobacillus plantarum and dietary putrescine (PUT) on growth, blood lipids, villus height (VH), crypt depth (CD) and polyamines (PAs) content of intestinal tissue and ileal digesta in chickens. Six treatments, replicated six time each, were factorial arrangements of two levels of LM (0 and 0.3%) and three l...

shoot:root ratio, dry matter partitioning, growth analysis, and water use efficiency of oat (avena sativa l., cv. walker) was investigated under excessive nitrogen (n) as 200 mg n kg-1 (n1p0), excessive phosphorus as 200 mg p kg-1 (n0p1), and combined 100 mg n+100 mg p kg-1 (n2p2), and the control (n0p0) as check in a pot experiment at dryland agriculture institute, west texas a and m universit...

This study examines the effect of regulatory policy on efficiency under prudential framework among banks listed in the Iranian Securities and Exchange Organization over the period 2003 to 2015. Arellano-Bond estimation method has been patronized to investigate the effect of regulatory policies on efficiency. Results indicate that regulatory policy indicator indexing reserve requirement on inves...

This study investigates the effects of dietary supplementation with various carbohydrate sources on growth and nutrient utilization efficiency a 0.72-g dog conch, Laevistrombus canarium. Five treatment diets had alpha-starch (Sta), dextrin (Dex), pullulan gum (Pg), xanthan (Xg), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC). At end feeding trial, best performance (weight gain, 442.23%) diet (protein ratio, 1.2...
