An experiment was conducted to evaluate the feeding of four medicinal mushrooms via fungus myceliated grain (FMG) at three levels on production performance, blood parameters and natural coccidiosis oocyst excretion in floor reared broiler chickens. Three hundred day-old female broiler chickens were weighed and randomly assigned to nine different treatment groups. Each group was replicated three...

The highest values of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the genital tract of the rat at different stages of the oestrous cycle were found in the oviduct (3.5-7 micrograms/mg protein) and the lowest in the ovary (50-100 ng/mg protein). The values for uterus and vagina ranged between 80 and 150 ng/mg protein. GABA (10-30 ng/microliter) was also found in fluid in the ovarian bursa. At 11:00 h, on ...

RATIONALE This article presents an unusual case of a large iliopsoas cystic solid mass associated with femoral head necrosis in a patient with heavy alcohol consumption for years.

In vivo effects of graded dietary levels of arginine on the body and lymphoid organs were investigated using Cornell K strain chickens of the B15/B15 haplotype. Two-week-old birds were fed an arginine-deficient basal diet (0.53% arginine) supplemented with additional arginine (up to 1.0% L-arginine to the diet). At four weeks of age, body weight, lymphoid organ weight, and concentrations of ami...
