In order to investigate application of nitrogen rates at different growth stages effects on dry matter remobilization and effective traits at dry matter accumulative of grain in spring barley (Hordeum Vulgare L.), an experiment was conducted as factorial based on randomized complete block design with three replications at the research farm, University of Mohaghegh Ardabili during 2012 cropping....

In this paper, the effect of irrigation water salinity levels on seed germination, dry matter weight of seedlings at eight-leave stage, and the salt tolerance of 8 rapeseed cultivars was investigated. Relative yield reduction in saline and non saline conditions, salt sensitivity index and Van Genuchten-Hoffman methods were used to determine the salt tolerance of the cultivars. Results showed th...

The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of L-carnitine supplementation accompanied with two sources of fat supplemented diets (ω3 and ω6) on flushing period of Farahani ewes. 20 Farahani ewes were allocated in four different treatments which were as follow: 1) 2.5% dry matter intake ω3 source without L-carnitine 2) 2.5% dry matter intake ω6 source without L-carnitine 3) 2.5% dry ...

Due to the extensive area and biodiversity, rangelands contribute to meeting the nutritional requirements of grazing livestock; Therefore, a study was conducted to investigate the nutritional value of four range species including Malcolmia africana, Plantago lanceolata, Phlomis cancellata, and Klasea latifolia in the mountainous rangelands of Torbat-e Jam. The sampling of plants was randomly do...

   The NorFor system is a semi-mechanistic, which predicts nutrient supply and requirements for maintenance, milk production, growth and pregnancy in catlle. This research is aimed to evaluate the effects of grinding, pelleting and steam-flaking of corn grain on protein characteristic using NorFor model was tested according to completely randomized design. Degradability of dry matter and protei...
