The four major Chinese carp (MC), Schizothorax fish species (SF), and Cobitidae (CF) are the most important target in China. swimming behaviour study of three groups is key to fishway designs. 20 min critical speed (U crit-20 ) endurance relation body length, speed, water temperature were estimated using multiple linear regression. results indicated that both length had a significant effect on ...

Feeding practices, ration composition, and body condition scores (BCS) were assessed in an observational case-contrast study of Norwegian dairy herds with low (n = 98) and high (n = 94) mastitis infection rates. Differences between the 2 groups of herds were associated with feeding practices and amount of roughage. More herds in the low-infection group were fed a reduced amount of roughage at d...

The present study was carried out to evaluate the effect of prill fat and rumen protected choline supplementation on daily dry matter intake, body weight changes and economics in lactating Murrah buffaloes (n=18) divided into three equal groups (Control, T1 and T2). Buffaloes in all the three groups were fed similar basal diet as total mixed ration comprising of berseem green fodder, wheat stra...

In a previous report (I) it was demonstrated that chicks receiving purified rations low in nicotinic acid grew poorly and developed a typical chick blacktongue. The occurrence of these symptoms was prevented by the addition of nicotinic acid to the ration. This paper presents further studies on this deficiency and gives data on the activity of several nicotinic acid esters, as well as studies o...

the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of one-month fasting along with yoga training on the body composition of novice female athletes. twenty trained women were randomly assigned to experimental (n=10) and control (n=10) groups. the experimental group participated in yoga training classes for 4 weeks, two 60-min sessions per week; the control group did not participate in any r...

this study was carried out to investigate the effects of salinity levels (0, 2, 4, 7 and 10 ppt) on growth indices, blood biochemical parameters, and body composition in rutilus frisii kutum fingerlings (initial weight 1.330.02 g) during 60 days. results indicated that the highest rates of daily growth, specific growth and weight gain per fish were obtained at the levels of 4 and 2 ppt (p0.05)...

the application of nanotechnology in drug delivery and a variety of supplements is very impressive. in this regard, the use of this knowledge can be effective in the performance of medicinal plants in aquaculture. in the present study aloe vera was extracted and its nanoparticles were produced. three levels of aloe vera nanoparticles in siberian sturgeon (acipenser baerii) were evaluated for th...
