An experiment was conducted to compare the effect of corn-soybean meal finisher (29-42d) diets containing flaxseeds (rolled or extruded) on pellet quality, performance, n-3 fatty acids (FA) and oxidative stability of meat in broiler chickens. Seven pelleted diets were provided in a 3×2 factorial arrangement with three flaxseed levels (5, 10, and 15%) and two processing methods (rolled or extrud...

milk and dairy products are in diet almost every day. milk fat contains 70% of saturated fatty acids which can cause an increase in total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and the risk of cardiovascular diseases. therefor, modification of fat composition at dairy products such as yoghurt seems necessary. walnut has high amount of essential fatty acids, anti oxidants and other beneficial ...

As natural plant growth stimulators, amino acids are widely used to improve the yield and quality of crops. Change in enzymes activities of N assimilation (NR, NiR and GS), residual nitrate (NO3-), soluble protein content, and yield of spinach and lettuce plants were investigated under replacing 20% nitrate-N in the nutrient solution by L-glycine and blood meal amino acids. Seeds of the mention...

Background Background: The fatty acid composition of the sperm membrane changes drastically during spermatogenesis and may be key to its function. Previous data has shown that intake of long chain poly-unsaturated fatty acids can change the fatty acid composition of tissues, including testes and sperm. However, whether these changes in composition translate into changes in semen quality or male...

Saponins, a group of glycosidic compounds present in several plant species, have aglycone moieties that are formed using triterpenoid or steroidal skeletons. In spite of their importance as antimicrobial compounds and their possible benefits for human health, knowledge of the genetic control of saponin biosynthesis is still poorly understood. In the Medicago genus, the hemolytic activity of sap...

this study was carried out in order to evaluate the changes of nitrogen, phosphor and potassium uptake by wheat and remaining of them in soil under foliar application of leonardite and foliar application of n and k. the experiment was conducted in gorgan university of agricultural sciences and natural resources during 2013- 2014. the experiment was laid out a using split-plot arrangement based ...

arginine (arg) requirements of male broilers (ross 308) reared at high altitude (2100 mabove sea level) during the 1-to 3-week period was estimated in a graded supplementationmethod, in which six diets (230 g kg-1 cp and 3200 kcal me kg-1) with arg increments of1.25 g kg-1 were applied to four pens of fifteen birds each. dietary arg content of theexperimental groups ranged from 10 g kg-1 (80% o...

background & aim: ocimum basilicum l. is belong to the lamiaceae family which is cultivated as a culinary, industrial and medicinal plants in some countries from thousands years ago. the seed of this plant is rich in poly un-saturated fatty acids (pufa) and produced a large amount of mucilage. experimental: the oil of seed was extracted separately and converted to fatty acids methyl esters...
