Abstract This study was conducted in the poultry field of Livestock Research Station Mosul Iraqi Ministry Agriculture during period 27/12/2021 to 8/2/2022 for purpose studying effect adding some plants oils and vitamin E on productive traits broiler chickens. where (480) one-day-old Roos-308 chicks were used, they distributed randomly by six experimental treatments each treatment 80 birds, incl...

Maize-soybean meal diets with 0, 100, 200 and 300 g/kg double zero rapeseed meal (‘00’ RSM) with and without an enzyme mixture (xylanase, pectinase, cellulase) at a level of 1.6 g/kg were evaluated with 624 day-old broiler chicks for 5 weeks. The birds were randomly allocated to eight dietary treatments with three replicates of 26 birds each. Average daily gain (ADG) and feed intake (FI) were r...

We examined the novel interaction of hyperthyroidism and hindlimb suspension on the pattern of myosin heavy chain (MHC) expression (mRNA and protein) in skeletal muscles. Female Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned to four groups: 1) normal control (Con); 2) thyroid hormone treated [150 micrograms 3,5,3'-triiodothyronine (T3). kg-1. day-1] (T3); 3) hindlimb suspension (HS); or 4) T3-treated and HS...

BACKGROUND Thyroid hormone treatment in brain-dead organ donors has been extensively studied and applied in the clinical setting. However, its clinical applicability remains controversial due to a varying degree of success and a lack of mechanistic understanding about the therapeutic effects of 3,3',5-Triiodo-L-thyronine (T3). T3 pre-conditioning leads to anti-apoptotic and pro-mitotic effects ...

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of diets containing Lactobacillus plantarum CJLP243 on the growth and cytokine response of weaning pigs (Sus scrofa) challenged with enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC). In a 28-d experiment (14 d before and 14 d after challenge), a total of 108 pigs at 20 ± 1 d of age were allotted to 1 of 6 diets. These were a control diet withou...

The application of inorganic nutrient sources is necessary for proper agricultural growth that can ensure high quality food production. A field experiment was carried out in Hansapur, Dhanusha from March 2021 to July study the effect different fertilizer doses on and yield rice. set up a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with 7 treatments following three replications. were named as T1: Co...

Neonatal changes in plasma free and total iodothyronines, cortisol, glucose and urea levels have been studied in 8 control (birthweight greater than or equal to 2.5 kg) and 16 hypotrophic lambs (birthweight less than 2.5 kg) receiving limited amounts of colostrum during the first 36 h of life and then fed ad libitum. During the period of colostrum feeding, plasma glucose levels were low in both...

The effect of two different doses of thyrotrophic releasing hormone (TRH) upon the plasma levels of growth (GH) and thyroid hormones in both sex-linked dwarf (dw) and normal (Dw) broiler hens was determined. In normal hens, 1.5 and 24 microg TRH/kg increased the GH plasma concentrations after 15 min. Plasma concentrations of T3 increased significantly 1 h after TRH injection, whereas T4 concent...

Background. Nitric oxide (NO) plays an important role in various biological processes. It has been suggested that NO may modulate the functions of the endocrine system. The aim of this study was to examine the role of nitric oxide in total triiodothyronine (T3), free thyroxine (fT4) and TSH secretion in adult female Wistar rats. Material and Methods. The animals were treated with L−NAME (10 mg/...

BACKGROUND Diets with increasing levels of energy were fed for 42 days to 200, 1-day old male broiler chickens to evaluate growth performance, carcass characteristics and chemical composition of meat. The study was performed in the subtropical area of northeastern Mexico. Treatments diets (T) for starter and finisher phases had apparent metabolizable energy (AME; kcal/kg) of: 2960 and 3040 (T1)...
