A total of 288 broiler chickens (1 d old) were used in a 42-d growth trial to study the effects of chicory (Cichorium intybus) and nettle (Urtica dioica) with or without multi-enzyme on growth performance, carcass traits, and biochemical parameters. The corn-soybean based control diet and 8 experimental diets were fed to each of 3 pens of chickens (12 chickens/pen). Treatments were as follows: ...

Plant cell wall invertases and fructan exohydrolases (FEHs) are very closely related enzymes at the molecular and structural level (family 32 of glycoside hydrolases), but they are functionally different and are believed to fulfill distinct roles in plants. Invertases preferentially hydrolyze the glucose (Glc)-fructose (Fru) linkage in sucrose (Suc), whereas plant FEHs have no invertase activit...

Chicory (Chicorum intybus L.) is a high moisture, low fibre forage, traits that have been identified to influence protein degradation and urea metabolism. Our recent study revealed sole diets of chicory increased urinations diluted the concentration nitrogen in urine. The purpose this was compare effect feeding lesser proportion diet, impact diurnal changes chemical composition on urinary conce...

Growth and quality attributes were quantified in Cichorium intybus L. endivia response to the nitrate supply. Chicory was grown Italy, a cold greenhouse from 11 of February 2020, pot with commercial soil sand without 12 mM Ca(NO3)2. Seventy-six days after sowing, growth variables, contents leaf root carbohydrates (glucose, fructose sucrose starch fructans), carbon, sulphate phosphate measured. ...

The plant-pathogenic bacterium Dickeya dadantii produces several pectinolytic enzymes that play a major role in the soft-rot disease. Eight characterized endopectate lyases are secreted in the extracellular medium by the type II secretion system, Out. They cleave internal glycosidic bonds of pectin, leading to plant tissue maceration. The D. dadantii pectate lyases belong to different families,...

: Jaundice is a common neonatal disorder that occurs in most term and preterm infants. Chicory or dandelion flower has long been used the treatment of jaundice. This study aimed to investigate effect chicory essence phototherapy on serum bilirubin levels infants admitted intensive care unit (NICU) Valiasr Hospital Birjand, Iran. vitro was conducted with gestational age less than 37 weeks weight...
