The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of crude glycerin inclusion levels on BRS Capiaçu grass (Pennisetum purpureum) silage on the parameters of fermentation and chemical-bromatological composition. Experimental treatments consisted of BRS Capiaçu grass silage with five levels of inclusion of crude glycerin (0, 1, 5, 10 and 15% inclusion in the natural matter) during e...

Screening of different yeast species showed that they are able to synthesize hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA (HMGCoA) reductase inhibitors. Crude methanol extracts and the purified inhibitors from Pichia labacensis and Candida cariosilignicola were tested for their biological activity on the solubilized microsomal HMGCoA reductase from Chinese hamster ovary cells. Identification of the inhibitors was...

Supplementation increased the total dry matter intake by 18.2-36.8 %. Supplements given alone or in combination had no effect on dry matter and organic matter digestibility of the diet. Crude protein digestibility was decreased with molasses supplementation. Crude fiber digestibility was not affected by baker’s yeast supplementation but decreased with other supplements. The digestibility of nit...

On the Balkan Peninsula, sheep lamb during the winter months, which necessitate to house and feed the lambs in indoor production systems. The proper nutrition of growing lambs is essential for their growth and development during the winter month, and the aim is attaining the desired live weight over a short time period with low feed expenditure. During that period, the major part of the ration ...

background: cystic echinococcosis (ce), also known as echinococcosis/hydatidosis, is one of the most important parasitic diseases in the world. it enhances both humoral and cellular (th1 and th2) responses in infected host. different antigens of the worm may favor the th1 or th2 immune responses in ce patients. objective: to evaluate the humoral and cellular immune responses of balb/c mice agai...

a numerical model is developed to simulate the transport phenomena in the flow channel between parallel plates with porous and non-porous (or impermeable) walls. the continuity and momentum equations were solved first, assuming the wall reynolds number in the range of with the suction or injection of air at a speed equal to the uniform inlet velocity. the results show that at constant inlet and...
