a seven-week trial was carried out to investigate the possibility of enriching eggs with vitamin e, inorganic and organic selenium added to the laying hen’s diet and lipid stability of enriched eggs during storage. seventy two hy-line w-36 hens were divided into six equal groups. each groups received one of the treatment diets which included control, 0.4 mg/ kg sodium selenite or selenium yeast...

objective: maternal type and amounts of dietary fatty acids affect on reproductive process in the mice. the present study investigated the effects of maternal supplementation with different amounts of omega-6 or omega-9 during pregnancy on the number of offspring, sex-ratio and duration of gestation. materials and methods: eight-week-old female c57bl/6 mice were randomly assigned into four diet...

BACKGROUND Maternal obesity may program the fetus and increase the susceptibility of the offspring to adult diseases. Metformin crosses the placenta and has been associated with decreased inflammation and reversal of fatty liver in obese leptin-deficient mice. We investigated the effects of metformin on maternal and fetal lipid metabolism and hepatic inflammation using a rat model of diet-induc...

the aim followed in the present study was to investigate the effects of different metabolizable protein (mp) levels on holstein cows, milk yield and composition, and as well on concentration of plasma metabolites in the cow,s early lactation. twenty - four holstein cows(bw 580±23, dim 30±7, parity 2.4±0.5) were randomly assigned to each one of the 4 dietary treatments containing 1) 10.60% (diet...

one-hundred-sixty-eight 28-wk-old hy-line layers (w-36) were used to evaluate the effect of different levels of linseed (ls) and safflower seed (ss) on antibody titter, blood and yolk cholesterol, yolk fatty acid content and the ratio of omega-6/ omega-3. hens were randomly assaigned in a compeletly randomised design each 3 replicates of 8 hens. they were fed diets contained 0, 4, 7 and 10% ls ...
