abstract in this study, fresh pistachio of 'ohadi' and 'akbari' cultivars expose to the uv-c radiation with a wavelength of 0, 3, 6 and 12 kj/m2, then located at temperature of 1 ± 3 degrees celsius for 45 days. properties or attributes, including weight loss, stiffness and sensory evaluation of fresh pistachio after 20 and 45 days storage were measured. results showed that pistachio nut weight...

an experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of fennel essence on performance, egg quality and ovarian morphology of commercial laying eggs for ten weeks. in this experiment, one hundred and forty 30-wk-old commercial egg laying type hy-line (w36) were randomly assigned into 4 treatments with 5 replicates and 8 birds per each. treatments were a control (0.0% essence) and diets containing ...

in order to investigate the effect of different levels of zinc on some productive parameters of broiler breeder, an experiment was conducted with 300 hens and 40 roosters of ross 308 strain (40 wk old) in 12 week period in completely randomized design with 4 treatments, 5 replicates and 15 hens and 2 roosters in each replicate. treatments consisted of 4 different levels of zinc (80, 110, 140 an...

This study experimentally investigates the effect of green polymeric nanoparticles on interfacial tension (IFT) and wettability carbonate reservoirs to effectively change enhanced oil recovery (EOR) parameters. experimental compares performance xanthan/magnetite/SiO2 nanocomposites (NC) several materials, i.e., eucalyptus plant (ENC) walnut shell ones (WNC) with performing series spontaneous im...

Length weight relationship and other allometric relationships were studied for shortneck clam Paphia malabarica. Lengthweight and total weight-flesh weight relationship in males and females were significantly different (p <0.01). The rate of growth in all other relationship studied were not significantly different between sexes. In lengthweight relationship it showed isometric growth and in len...

SW-163A and B, novel immunosuppressants, were isolated from the culture broth of Streptomyces sp. SNA15896. The molecular formulas of SW-163A and B were determined as C34H42N2O12 and C33H40N2O12 based on the HRFAB-MS analysis, respectively. Both compounds were elucidated to be a large ring ester structure through spectroscopic analyses including various NMR measurements. SW-163A and B showed im...

this experiment carried out to evaluate replacing effects of oyster shell (os) with filter cake (fc) of sugar beet industry on performance and quantity and quality of egg in  laying hens .in this trial the filter cake in two physical forms of powder and pellet in  five levels of 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100% replaced for oyster shell. each treatment had 3 replications. the experiment lasted 3 periods...

A study was undertaken to compare the longevity and lifetime lamb output of purebred Scottish Blackface (BF) ewes with a range of crossbred genotypes from Scottish BF dams. For up to five successive breeding seasons, 1143 Scottish BF, Swaledale × BF (SW × BF), North Country Cheviot × BF (CH × BF), Lleyn × BF (LL × BF) and Texel × BF (T × BF) ewes were mated to a range of sire breeds on six hill...

Mycoplasma synoviae (M. synoviae) can cause respiratory disease, synovitis, peritonitis, egg apical abnormalities or a subclinical infection. The importance of M. synoviae is well established in broilers but only a few studies have been conducted in layers. In the present study, the prevalence of M. synoviae in commercial layer flocks was determined by ELISA using egg yolk antibodies. Subsequen...
