Twenty-four multiparous Holstein cows were used in six 4×4 Latin squares with 28day periods to determine inclusion rates for wet corn gluten feed (WCGF) in diets for lactating dairy cows. Cows were housed in a tie-stall barn and fed diets to meet or exceed NRC (1989) nutrient requirements. Experimental treatments were 1) control, 2) WCGF constituting 20%, 3) WCGF constituting 27.5%, and 4) WCGF...

Sixteen steers (650 Ib) were used to determine the effects of corn moisture, protein concentration and monensin (Rumensin) on ration digestibility and nitrogen retention. The steers were placed in metabolism stalls and fed rations of high moisture corn (HMC) or dry rolled corn at two protein levels (9.3 and 12.3 percent) with two monensin levels (0 and 30 g per ton of feed). Monensin addition d...

in order to study the response of new sugar beet hybrids and cultivars to curly top disease in the field conditions, an experiment was carried out in a randomized complete block design with four replications and sixteen treatments in 2007 in fasa. each plot included a hybrid or cultivar planted in three rows with eight meter length and 50cm between- row spacing. after weeding and first thinning...

BACKGROUND Prolonged wound-discharge following total hip arthroplasty (THA) is associated with an increased risk of infection. However, the potential role of hypertension in prolonging the duration of wound healing in this population has not yet been investigated. The aim of the present study was to compare healing in this population that has not yet been investigated. The aim of the present st...

the effect of different salinity levels (1.7, 5, 10, 15 and 20 ds.m-1) on yield and forage quality of two millet cultivars (nutrifeed and bastan) was investigated in this experiment. a factorial test based on randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted during 2010-11 growing season. the results showed that with increase in salinity, dry matter yield decreased. the hig...

Strong benefits of species diversity have been demonstrated in mixed cropping on rangelands. In order to determine the best composition of mixed cropping of alfalfa (Medicago sativa) with three cool season grass species (Agropyron elongatum, Agropyron desertorum and Festuca arundinacea), on yield and quality traits, an experiment was conducted during two years (2009 and 2010) in Bojnourd, Iran....

salinity of soil and irrigation water creates major problems for forage production. this study was aimed to evaluate the quality and quantity of forage production in intercropping of kochia (kochia scoparia l.) with blue panic grass (panicum antidotale retz.) under irrigation with saline water (4.9 ds.m-1). the study was performed based on randomized complete block design with three replication...
