Total urine protein was measured in 132 samples by an automated benzethonium chloride method and the Ponceau-S/trichloroacetic acid (PS/TCA) method. Of these, 27% gave a result 0.1 g/L or more higher by the benzethonium chloride method. Of this 27%, most contained an abnormally high concentration of the acute-phase reactant, alpha 1-acid glycoprotein. By assaying urine containing added alpha 1-...

tuberose (polianthes tuberosa l.) is an important commercial cut flower that has a short vase life. an experiment was carried out by using five different levels of humic acid (ha) (0, 25, 50, 75, and 100 mg l-1) and seven different levels of silver nano-particles (snp) (0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 mg l-1) mixed with 1.5% sucrose on cut tuberosa cv. single flower. the loss of fresh weight on third ...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of processing protein meals by tannin extracted from pistachio by-product on apparent total tract digestibility, ruminal fermentation and performance of dairy cows. for tannin extraction, one kilogram of sun-dried pistachio by-products was immersed in four liters of water for 48 h. then, pistachio by-products were removed from the water and ...

in this study brown algae, sargassum glaucescens and that found plenteously in persian gulf and bushehr coast, were collected and hot water extracts of them were lyophilized. f. indicus (11.32±1.20 g), after two weeks adaptation in shoghab research station dependent to iran shrimp research center, isrc, were immersed in seawater (39 ppt and 25±1 c○) containing hot-water extract of brown algae, ...

in order to study the effects of various levels of protein in diet based on total and digestible amino acids on performance and carcass traits of broilers, an experiment was conducted as a completely randomized design with 288 broiler chicks from cobb 500 strain in 6 treatments, each treatment consist of 3 replicates with 16 chicks per replicate. treatments were the diets as follow: 1) diet for...

I. Weanling pigs were fed under three dietary regimens, control, low protein and total calorie restricted. 2. In the protein-deficient group the amino acid ratio did not start to become elevated until growth was impaired and total serum protein and albumin concentration began to fall. 3. In the protein-deficient group, but not in the control or undernourished animals, the magnitude of the ratio...

  Abstract   Background: Regarding the diagnostic errors of the classic criteria including serum ascites   albumin gradient (SAAG), total protein concentration and the adapted Light et al’s criteria   in distinguishing transudate versus exudates, we evaluated the ascitic fluid to serum   bilirubin ratio as a new criteria in this regard. We also evaluated whether the combination of   bilirubin r...

Cottonseed is potential candidate to act as an important protein source but presence of toxic compound gossypol with concentration more than 0.045% main hurdle in utilization this protein. Optimized lyophilized powder constitutes 5.05% moisture, 93.1% crude protein, 0.03% free gossypol, 0.27% total and bacterial count 1295 cfu/g no pathogenic bacteria. may be utilized ingredient for food indust...
