it can be argued that fuel and energy sector plays a crucial part in the countries' development and improvement of people's living standards, constituting a pillar of economic development for nations. electricity is considered as an infrastructure for economic, social and cultural development in a way that the growth in electric power is evaluated as an indicator for measuring the gro...

The gastrointestinal tract (GIT) in chickens, turkeys and ducks is a dynamic organ system. During early posthatch growth, there is a tremendous energetic allocation to GIT growth. While most research has focused on ontogenic changes to nutrient transporter and/or enzyme production, the structural aspects of intestinal maturation often is not studied in tandem, which may be more limiting to grow...

The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is a critical organ system mediating nutrient uptake and use by the animal. Understanding factors that influence GI development, growth, and function is critical to improving management and therapeutic approaches to maximize health and production efficiency of livestock. These factors are diverse and include animal nutrition and nutrient interactions with the GI ...

The conditions of dwarfism and infantilism can be considered together, for although dwarfism is not infrequently found without infantilism the two are more frequently combined. Both represent disturbances in the growth sphere, but whilst in dwarfism the defect is skeletal and limited to the skeleton, in infantilism the retardation of development is general. The term dwarfism implies a defect in...

A strategy that improves growth efficiency is to reduce basal metabolic rate, providing additional energy for growth. Thyroid hormones enhance metabolism and lipolysis. Previous studies have shown that increase of feeding frequency could change blood hormonal profile affecting metabolism and growth in some animals. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of increased feeding f...
