in this experiment, the effects of fennel and thyme extracts with and without flaxseed were investigated on performance and egg quality of leghorn-type laying hens (hy-line w-36). 200 laying hens from 26 to 38 weeks of age were assigned to five dietary treatments with five replications. the treatment groups were: 1) control (a diet without any additives); 2) control diet plus fennel (40 mg/kg f...

this study aimed to decrease the cholesterol content of egg yolk of laying hens through inclusion of barley malt rootlets in the diets. forty-two, 54-week-old, lohman laying hens were fed for a 12 weeks laying period on 3 iso-caloric and iso-nitrogenous diets contained 0 (control), 25.5 or 51.1g barley malt rootlets/kg. inclusion of barley malt rootlets at 25.5 or 51.1g/kg diet significantly de...

the objective of present study was to determine the effects of β-mannanase-based enzyme (hemicell®) on productive performance and egg quality in diets containing graded levels of whole date waste (wdw) fed to laying hens. a total of 336 hy-line leghorn hens after production peak were randomly divided into 56 cages. eight iso-energetic and iso-nitrogenous experimental diets in a 4 × 2 factorial ...

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) display a delayed onset of antidepressant action of several weeks. Past work demonstrated evidence that the 5-HT4 receptor may be a direct target for treating depression and a new hope for fast acting antidepressant treatment. However, the 5-HT4 hypothesis still needs to be validated in models of anxiety/depression. We decided to investigate wheth...

Structure-based models are coarse-grained representations of the interactions responsible for protein folding process. In their simplest form, they use only native contact map a given to predict main features its process by computer simulation. Given limitations, these frequently complemented with sequence-dependent contributions or additional information. Specifically, analyze effect pressure ...

This study aimed to investigate plumage conditions, injuries in the comb, cloaca, and feet at end of laying period (73 weeks age) native Atak‐S (A‐S) foreign Isa Brown (IB) Novogen White (NW) genotypes reared two different cage densities. A total 480 hens, including 160 each hybrid, were used present study. Each hybrid group was divided into subgroups containing eight (468.75 cm2/hen) 12 animal...

There are two types of network traffic in experimental environments. One is traffic which is derived from target elements and the other one is background traffic which is derived from surrounding elements. There is very little knowledge on the relationships between new elements and existing elements; therefore, surrounding elements that seem to have no apparent relationship with the target elem...

This article reports key findings from the first phase of a research project investigating Net generation age students as they encounter e-learning at five universities in England. We take a critical view of the idea of a distinct generation which has been described using various terms including Net generation and Digital Natives and explore age related differences amongst first year university...

The effects of Different Levels Alhaji Maurorum L. on Egg Production, Traits and Blood Parameters Commercial Laying Hen (Line W63)

A heat exchanger network (HEN) for the process of methanol synthesis has been studied by combination of pinch design method and the application of “Twisted Tube” heat exchanger units as a new technology. The HEN is reconstructed based on the full utilization of maximum allowable pressure drops for the process hot and cold streams. An algorithm is developed to generate design procedure for twist...
