The efÞcacy and nonrepellency of indoxacarb (150 SC, 150 g [AI]/liter) and Þpronil (Termidor SC, 9.1% [AI]) against Þeld-collected eastern subterranean termite,Reticulitermes flavipes (Kollar), and the Formosan subterranean termite,Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki, were evaluated for mortality and penetration into treated soil in laboratory glass tube bioassays. Both insecticides were tested at Þ...

Expression of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 protein in 4-nitroquinoline-1-oxide (4-NQO)-induced rat tongue lesions and the postinitiation chemopreventive potential of a selective COX-2 inhibitor, nimesulide (NIM), were examined in Fischer 344 male rats. NIM was administered in the diet at doses of 150, 300, and 600 ppm for 14 weeks after treatment with 25-35 ppm 4-NQO in the drinking water for 12 week...

This study was carried out to determine of the effects of monensin on ruminal fermentation parameters in Ghizel sheep. Sixteen male Ghizel sheep were used allocated in completely randomized design. The diet containing of 2.9 ME (Mcal/kg DM) and 150 g/kg DM CP was formulated based on NRC requirement consisting of 400 g kg-1DM alfalfa, 488 g kg-1 DM barley grain, 200 g kg-1 DM soybean meal, 589 g...

Irradiation has been recognized and endorsed as a potential phytosanitary measure that could be an alternative to current quarantine treatments. Dosages of 50, 100, 150, 200, and 250 Gy were used to irradiate three different life stages (eggs, immatures, and adults) of Planococcus minor (Maskell) (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae), focusing on females due to its parthenogenesis ability, with an aim to...

Pollen of Impatiens sultanii Hook F. germinates and forms tubes rapidly at 25 degrees C in a simple medium containing 111.0 ppm CaCl2, 13.6 ppm KH2PO4, and 1000 ppm boric acid. Calcium, potassium, and boron are essential for germination and tube growth, but sucrose is not required. Pollen tubes grow with equal rapidity in liquid medium or on a medium solidified with 1% agar. Tube growth rates a...

At the end of the laying cycle, layer hens can be used for production of mechanically separated meat (MSML) for sausage manufacture. However, mechanically separated meats are susceptible to lipid and pigment oxidation during storage, problems that could be prevented by the use of antioxidants present in curing additives traditionally used in meat processing. The objective of this work was to ev...

A reference radioassay for vitamin B12 in serum, in which human serum is used as binder and DEAEcellulose is used to separate free and bound B12, was compared (194 sera) with a packaged kit (“Phadebas B12 Test”), in which intrinsic factor is used as binder and poiysaccharide for separation. The correlation coefficient was 0.949. With the kit, added B12 was identifiable, proportional dilution ch...

In order to investigate the effect of different levels lavender essential oil and bacitracin methylene disalicylate antibiotics on performance, carcass traits, some blood parameters, small intestinal tissue morphology microbial population in Japanese quails, a study was performed 400 pieces quail per day. The treatments included group consuming basic diet without any additives as (control) anti...

In this study, changes in testicular tissues of rats subjected to xylene and formaldehyde inhalation were evaluated. Three experimental groups were included in the study. Each group of rats was exposed to formaldehyde (6 ppm), technical xylene (300 ppm) or a combination of these two agents (150 ppm+3 ppm) for 8 weeks (8 h/d). Control groups were maintained for a period of eight weeks under the ...
