The objective of this research was to evaluate yield parameters (gained weight, weight percentage, survival, feed conversion factor (FCR), feed conversion efficiency (FCE), condition factor (K), specific growth rate (SGR) and hepatosomatic index (HSI) of trouts fed with experimental diets elaborated with bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) flour instead of fishmeal with 15, 30 and 45% (BF15, BF30 and ...

This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of two probiotic Bacillus spp. (RM10 and BFAR9) on growth, length-weight relationship (LWR), condition factor (k) Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). For this, one hundred thirty-five fingerlings (1.12±0.08 g weight 1.26±0.15 cm length) were divided into three groups (Control, RM10, distributed nine circular concrete tanks. The fish fed with c...

The aim of this study was to model the growth of nalidixic acid-resistant E. coli O157:H7 (E. coli O157:H7NR) in blanched spinach and to evaluate model performance with an independent set of data for interpolation (8.5, 13, 15 and 27 °C) and for extrapolation (broth and fresh-cut iceberg lettuce) using the ratio method and the acceptable prediction zone method. The lag time (LT), specific growt...

7814.pdf. For example, a hospital system with member hospitals in several markets can negotiate from strength as a system without having excessive concentration in any individual market. A number of different plan levels would be offered within the exchange. While all would cover the same services, they would vary in the cost-sharing required of enrollees. Lower-income individuals and families ...

The effect of adding protein xanthophyll from lucerne (PX) on growth parameters and the redox profile of carp muscle Cyprinus carpio (L.) was studied. During a 10-week experiment, carp were kept in two types of tanks: Control, where fish were fed a commercial fish feed, and in experimental tanks (PX+), where the fish were fed the same fish feed with a 5% addition protein xanthophyll from lucern...

The effects of temperature and salinity stress on hemato-immunological factors in juvenile Labeo rohita fed normal or elevated levels of tryptophan were studied. Fish were fed diets with 0.35% (control), 0.7%, or 1.4% tryptophan for 60 days, then exposed to temperature and/or salinity stress for the next 30 days with the same feeding regime. The specific growth rate (SGR) was significantly redu...

The effects of substituting dietary protein sources with different levels of Sargassum ilicifolium on growth, survival and body composition of rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss were investigated over the course of a 60 day experiment. A total of 360 juveniles (75±2.8 g) were randomly allotted to four treatment groups including (control: with 100% basal diet (BD); T1: 5% sargassum meal (SM)+95% ...

Several studies suggest that delay in the surgical treatment of breast cancer is significantly associated with lower survival. This study evaluated the tumor growth rate (TGR) of invasive breast cancers during wait times for surgery quantitatively using ultrasonography (US) and identified clinicopathologic factors associated with TGR.This retrospective study was approved by our institutional re...
