Twenty-four lactating Holstein dairy cows were used in a completely randomized design to investigate the effect of soybean meal (SM) and xylose protected soybean meal (XSM) in combination with ground (GB) or steam flaked (FB) barley on dry matter intake, milk production, rumen fermentation and blood responses. The experimental period lasted for 30 days. The diets consisted of the provision of 1...

The article presents the results of studying effect biological preparations created on basis such living microbial strains as Bacillus subtilis (Naturost), Lactobacillus buchneri (Naturost-Active) and megaterium (Naturost-M) productivity nutritional value clover timothy mixture. We conducted a microplot experiment at Vologda Research Center Russian Academy Sciences (Vologda Oblast) in 2019–2021...

Present study was planned to screen locally available tanniferous tree leaves for their chemical composition, presence of condensed tannins (CT), potential source of CT and suitable leaf meal mixture (LMM) was formulated for incorporation in the densified complete feed blocks (DCF). Two types of blocks (with and without CT; CT-DCF and DCF, respectively) were formulated and prepared. Twelve adul...

Fifty-four dogs were exposed to multi-focal ischemia sufficient to maintain suppression of the P1--N1 amplitude of the cortical sensory-evoked response (CSER) for 60 minutes. Subsequently, the P1--N1 amplitude recovery of the CSER was followed for an additional 15, 60, or 120 min while the dogs were treated or left untreated. The combination of PGI2, indomethacin, and heparin promoted a statist...

seeds of most crops including those of range plants follow orthodox behavior. however, these seeds undergo aging even under favorable conditions, so that decreased viability and vigor related parameters are the main characteristics of deteriorated seeds. the effects of hormonal priming with auxin, cytokinin, gibberellin and abscisic acid at 0, 50, 100 and 150 ppm on physiological quality of tal...

in order to study the effect of salinity stress and nitrogen forms on nitrogen remobilization from root to shoot following defoliation and shoot dry matter production, a research in the form of factorial experiment based on randomized block, was designed in three replications. treatments include: 1) nitrogen forms containing a) biological n fixation (n1), b) 6mm nh4no3(n2), c) biological n fixa...

In in vitro true dry matter degradability (IVTDMD), in situ dry matter degradability, and neutral detergent fiber degradability, both in vitro (IVNDFD) and in situ (ISNDFD) techniques were used with crossbred goats to determine dry matter and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) ruminal degradability in eight forages and four industrial byproducts. Total digestible nutrients (TDN) content obtained wit...

In order to identify the effects of different levels of nitrogen fertilizer on seed yield and seed growth indices of some bread and durum wheat genotypes, a field experiment was conducted in 2013-2014 in Khuzestan Agricultural and Natural Resource Research Center. The experiment was designed as a split plot with three replications. Nitrogen application rates (50, 100 and 150 kg N.ha-1) were ass...
