five common range forage including agropyron intermedium, bromustomentellus, hordeum bulbosum, cousinia bakhtiarica and scariolla orientalis, weresampled during three phenological stages, from controlled rangeland stations over fivelocations in chaharmahal and bakhtiari province, iran. all samples were chemicallyanalyzed for crude protein (cp%), in vitro dry matter digestibility (dmd), organicm...

BACKGROUND & METHODS Within the last decade Virus-Like Particles (VLPs) have increasingly received attention from scientists for their use as a carrier of (peptide) molecules or as scaffold to present epitopes for use in subunit vaccines. To test the feasibility of Cowpea chlorotic mottle virus (CCMV) particles as a scaffold for epitope presentation and identify sites for epitope fusion or inse...

in inflammatory diseases such as peri-implantitis (pi) and chronic periodontitis (cp) both adaptive and innate immunity play a part. natural resistance associated macrophage protein 1 ( nramp1 ) has considerable effects on macrophage function (phagocytosis) and host innate immune response against infections. the present study was to investigate the relationship of nramp1 gene polymorphisms with...

We discuss the evolution of Praxis, a model-driven process framework, building on feedback from educational and professional applications, along the past fifteen years. We follow the evolution from Praxis first version to the current one, discussing what was introduced in each. For past and current versions, we classify model improvements, discussing their nature and rationale, derived from rec...

Abstract Myo-inositol is a breakdown product of phytate produced in the gut through action phytase. Although effect phytase-released phosphorus on growth performance animals has been well characterized, there still little understanding myo-inositol effects. The objectives this study were to determine effects added phytate-rich low-protein diet and apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) growi...

Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) capsid protein (CP) is the only protein necessary for the formation of the virion capsid, and recombinant CP spontaneously forms virus-like particles (VLPs). Located within a single CP subunit is an immunodominant epitope consisting of residues 169 to 180 [CP(169-180)], which is exposed on the surface of the subunit, but, in the structural context of the VLP, th...

Previous research suggested that crude protein (CP) from canola meal (CM) was used more efficiently than CP from solvent soybean meal (SBM) by lactating dairy cows. We tested whether dietary CP content influenced relative effectiveness of equal supplemental CP from either CM or SBM. Fifty lactating Holstein cows were blocked by parity and days in milk into 10 squares (2 squares with ruminal can...

also supported by the FFLG data. Serum IGF-I concentrations are presented in Figure 2. Protein concentration had linear and quadratic effects (P < 0.01) on serum IGF-I concentration during weeks 2 and 4 of the experiment. There were no sex effects detected for serum IGF-I concentration, thus the data for barrows and gilts within dietary crude protein concentration were pooled and presented in F...
