the amounts of liver dry matter, liver fat and fat in liver dry matter based on age and sex of animals together with the concentrations of glucose, beta hydroxyl butyrate (bhb), urea, triglycerides (tg), calcium magnesium and phosphorus in order to determination of probable subclinical liver lipidosis were investigated in 114 cows including 41 non-pregnant, 7 pregnant, 18 heifers and 48 bulls. ...

this research was conducted under greenhouse conditions to evaluate the optimum combination of irrigation and fertilizer levels to attain the best yield and quality of tomato crop. the experiment was conducted by using a split-plot design with three replicates. irrigation levels were applied to the main plots and fertilizer levels to the sub-plots. for each experimental unit, the irrigation lev...

Alfalfa was harvested as second-cutting regrowth herbage, ensiled either at low DM (direct-cut) or high DM (wilted), untreated or treated with .82 or .66% anhydrous NH3 (percentage of DM), respectively, and offered to four Holstein heifers. Silages low in DM had more gross energy and more NDF in DM than silages high in DM. Ammonia treatment increased total, soluble, rumen-insoluble, and NH3 N f...

The objective of this study was to estimate genetic and phenotypic correlations of body weight at 6 weeks of age (BW6), as well as final carcass yield, and moisture, protein, fat and ash contents, using data from 3,422 F2 chickens originated from reciprocal cross between a broiler and a layer line. Variance components were estimated by the REML method, using animal models for evaluating random ...

Abstract Bahiagrass ( Paspalum notatum Flüggé) is a rhizomatous, perennial, warm‐season forage widely grown in the southeastern United States "UF Riata" bahiagrass more upright growing with greater herbage production when days are shorter compared most other cultivars. Lesser daylength sensitivity extends grazing season, but combination growth may negatively affect persistence under grazing, es...

Monensin was added at 0 or 23 mg/kg dry matter to low (8.3%) or high (17.5%) crude protein diets (2 X 2 factorial arrangement) that were fed to 28 growing wether goats for 194 to 256 d. Average daily gain increased 24% with monensin and 20% with higher crude protein (P less than .05). Feed conversion was improved by both monensin and higher crude protein (P less than .001). During the experimen...

In this trial effects of feeding pistachio by-product silage with date waste (PBSD) on dry matter intake (DMI), live weight gain and blood parameters of lambs were studied. Ensiling of pistachio by-products (PBP) with date waste increased dry matter (DM) and metabolizable energy (ME), but decreased the percentages of crude protein (CP), total tannins and phenolic compounds (P

background: previous research has shown that cr is needed for growth and protein synthesis. objectives:  this study was carried out to determine the effects of supplementing chromium-methionine (cr-met) on performance, hematologic characteristics and meat quality parameters in kids. methods: thirty-two male kids (average initial bw of 22 ± 2 kg, 4mo) were used in a completely randomized design ...
