This study was conducted to investigate the effect of different feeding regimes on the quality of deer meat (venison) following storage at 4°C for various durations. Twelve 5-year-old elk stags about 350 kg were stratified by weight and randomly assigned to one of four dietary treatments (three elk stags per treatment). The dietary treatments consisted of a feeding concentrate of 1.5% of body w...

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of physically effective neutral detergent fiber (peNDF) content in total mixed ration (TMR) on dry matter intake, digestibility, and chewing activity in fattening Hanwoo (Bos taurus coreanae) heifers. The experiment was designed as a replicated 3×3 Latin square using 12 heifers. Fattening heifers were offered one of three diets [high (T1)...

Aim In the recent past, few studies have been carried out about sea buckthorn (SBT) and giloe in chicken as a part of the quest for suitable alternatives to antibiotics. However, studies in turkeys are lacking. Hence, the present study was conducted to evaluate the effects of SBT and giloe leaf meal by dietary feed supplementation in turkey poults. Materials and Methods A total of 1-day-old t...

The effects of mola (Amblypharyngodon mola) at different densities in polyculture with freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) were investigated at the Fisheries Field Laboratory, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh. The experiment had three treatments, viz. prawn + 1 mola m, prawn + 1.5 mola m and prawn + 2 mola m and were treated as T1, T2, and T3, respectively with three repl...

We evaluated the use of Clariscan 0.75, 2, and 5 mg Fe/kg body weight in six patients to determine optimal dosing for short repetition time cine imaging. Breathhold cine images were acquired in the vertical and horizontal long axes and the short axis. Blood-pool signal-to-noise ratio increased significantly in all planes (p < 0.01) but was least marked in the short axis. Myocardial signal-to-no...

AIM To examine the development of childhood obesity and to determine the earliest age when estimating body mass using only weight and height data is associated with a corresponding estimate at the age of 15. METHODS Subjects included are all children born in 1991 in Östergötland County, Sweden. Weight and height data collected during regular check-ups at well-child centres and school health c...

OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to investigate neural effects of acute whole body vibration (WBV) on lower limb muscles regarding corticospinal and spinal excitability. METHODS In 44 healthy subjects (16 f/ 28 m), motor evoked potentials (MEP) and H-reflexes in m. soleus (SOL) and gastrocnemius medialis (GM) were elicited before (t1), immediately after (t2), 2 (t3), 4 (t4) and 10 m...

An experiment was conducted to study the effects of an emulsifier (glycerol polyethylene glycol ricinoleate: GPGR) and different sources of fat on the performance of Khaki Campbell ducks. Ducks were assigned into five groups with three replicates (10 ducks/ replicate) in each group. Treatments were a control diet (C1: without added oil and emulsifier), control diet added with 2% soybean oil (C2...

BACKGROUND Natalizumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody raised against alpha4 integrins, is approved for treatment of active relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) in adult patients. OBJECTIVE To determine the safety, effectiveness, and tolerability of natalizumab use in pediatric patients with MS. DESIGN Case report. SETTING Center for MS in childhood and adolescents, Göttingen, G...

The conventional assessment of the specific growth rate (SGR) avoiding intermediary data is highly criticized by scholars as to beginning and end production cycle usually considered for measurement. To evaluate SGR, study was conducted in six concrete tanks under an outdoor laboratory shed from 10th May 29th July 2017. Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fry released at 8 fries per tank recommended...
