To determine if urea diffuses into reticulo-ruminal water (RRW) during urea dilution estimation of body composition, four 450-kg heifers were infused intravenously with a solution containing 65.05 g urea plus .95 g 15N-urea, after a 20-h removal of feed. Blood, urine and rumen fluid were collected before infusion and at various times for 120 min after infusion. Plasma 15N clearance was describe...

background: coula edulis bail (olacaceae), is an evergreen tree growing to a height of 25-38 m. this study aimed at evaluating the antidermatophytic and toxicological properties of the stem bark of c. edulis extract as well as fractions and compounds isolated from it. methods: the plant extract was prepared by maceration in ch2cl2-meoh (1:1 v/v). the fractionation of this extract was done by si...

Capparis decidua belongs to family Capparidaceae in wastelands of India. The study aim was determine the role C. fruits on free fatty acids (FFA) profile fat-rich diet (FRD) dyslipidemic rats. methanolic extract edible fruit (CD) given orally obese rats at dose 125 mg/kg and 250 for consecutive 28 days. CD treatment FRD significantly restricts body weight gains. Blood lipid altered dependently ...

this study was conducted to investigate direct and maternal effects on some economic traits in north iranian native fowls. traits considered were body weight at 1 day of age (bw1), body weight at 8 weeks of age (bw8), body weight at 12 weeks of age (bw12), egg number (en) during the first 12 weeks of laying period, egg weight at 1st day of laying (ew1), mean egg weight at 28th, 30th and 32nd we...

Graham, J. A., and Scobie, W. G. (1970). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 45, 473. Muscle biopsy measurement of body water and intracellular electrolytes in children. Body water and electrolytes have been measured in normal infants and children using a muscle biopsy technique. Extracellular water, sodium, and chloride contents per kilogram dry weight are high in infancy but fall to adult value...

The antibiotic streptomycin added to the drinking water at a concentration of 125 mg/ l during nymphal development of Nezara viridula (L.) (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae)accelerated the development in ca. 2 days, increased survivorship, and doubled adult longevity; nymph survivorship and adult body weight were not affected when compared to control insects. Streptomycin has potential in rearing N. v...

Physiol. 208(4): 615-620. 1g65.-Daily observations for 3 months on the ad libitum water-to-food-intake relationship were made on young Sherman male and female rats subsisting on a diet of constant composition, with particular attention being given to the influence on this relationship of handling,,...

Mature cows (146) representing Angus, Braunvieh, Charolais, Gelbvieh, Hereford, Limousin, Pinzgauer, Red Poll, and Simmental breeds were slaughtered to contribute to the investigation of the effect of various feed availabilities on body composition. Weights recorded when cows were placed on feed were used to set daily diets at four rates of intake within each breed (55, 76, 96, and 111 g DM/[kg...
