Evidence suggests that altered gut microbiota composition may be involved in the development of obesity. Studies using mice made obese with refined high-fat diets have supported this; however, these have commonly used chow as a control diet, introducing confounding factors from differences in dietary composition that have a key role in shaping microbiota composition. We compared the effects of ...

This study investigated the effect of Rumex Sc (commercial product which includes of Saccharomyces cervisiae, saponin and essential oils) on rumen fermentation, blood glucose, urea, milk yield and milk composition. Animals were offered a basal diet containing alfalfa hay (15.5%), corn silage (24%), beet pulp (7%) and concentrate (53.5%). Additionally, Rumex Sc was included in the experimental d...

Despite the fact that model composition paradigm becomes very important and most commonly used, the support for their cooperation has not reached its full strength, especially in managing composition conflicts, because it’s often divided between and confused with other model composition features. This makes handling and dealing with these conflicts a crucial activity in the composition process....

A new method is proposed for controlling the composition (nonstoichiometry) of low-volatility inorganic compounds. It is based on the introduction/elimination of one of the components into/ from the low-volatility compound using reversible selective chemical vapor transport. The conditions for composition control through selective chemical vapor transport are deduced from the principles of none...

This study was investigated the effects of dietary estradiol-17? (E2) on growth, body composition and blood indices in Acipenser stellatus. Fish (40.9 ? 1.1 g average initial weight; n = 60 per group) were fed with three different diets containing 0 (control), 25 and 50 mg kg-1 dietary estradiol contents to apparent satiation for seven months. The results suggested that growth rate were decreas...

an experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of biogen probiotic additives on growth performance of common carp, cyprinus carpio. four practical diets containing 0 (control) , 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 % biogen probiotic were used to feed fish. seventy-two juvenile common carp (65 ? 3.5g) were randomly distributed between 12 fiberglass tanks of 500 l capacity. during 60 days of feeding trial, the...

in this study, the effect of garlic extract on the growth performances ( body weight increase (bwi), specific growth rate (sgr), condition factor (cf), final length (fl) and weight (fw)), feed indices (feed conversion rate (fcr), protein efficiency ratio (per), protein production ratio (ppr)) and body composition (protein, fat, moisture and ash) of mugil cephalus larvae were studied in four tre...

conclusions independent of the training sequence, an 8-week concurrent training program caused positive changes in the body composition and physical fitness of our aged female subjects. however, there was no benefit derived from sequence order training. results the intra-session sequence order did not influence the adaptive response of the waist-to-hip ratio (p = 0.55), body fat percentage (bf ...

Growth performance, food efficiency and body composition of pikeperch (Sander lucioperca) were investigated with 1 or 2 g/kg L-carnitine added to the diet. Control diet did not contain L-carnitine. Two hundred pikeperch fingerlings (1.63 g, mean weight) were stocked in each 1 m3 concrete tank and fed equally 6 meals per day for 6 weeks. Higher increment in body weight (5.92 ± 0.37 g), the ...
