Carrots are a potentially rich source of antioxidants in addition to their nutritional properties. In this study, the composition and antioxidant properties three varieties carrots, namely Kuroda, Pamela Amazonia cultivated Ghana were determined. The peroxide scavenging method was used determine ethanolic extracts carrot at different concentrations. protein, crude fibre, fat carbohydrate conten...

The chemical composition variations of the Indian mackerel (Rastrelliger kanagurta) from Karachi coast were investigated seasonally over the period of one year (2004-2005).  Moisture, crude protein, fat and ash contents varied from 70.11-74.41%, 16.02- 20.09%, 3.0-12%, and 0.89-1.35% respectively. The seasonal data indicated that the main fatty acids of the total lipid were C16:0, C16:1, C18:0,...

effects of condensed tannins (ct) on crude protein availability in sainfoin hay was investigated according to most popular ruminant feeding systems. different treatments including polyethylene glycol (6000 mw), sodium hydroxide, sodium bicarbonate, potassium permanganate, wood ash, water and urea, were applied for deactivation of ct crude protein fractioning was determined using nylon bag techn...

The effect of ephedrine at 0 (E0C0, n = 10), 8 (E8C0, n = 10) and 10 (E10C0, n = 10) mg per kg metabolic body weight or mixture of ephedrine/caffeine, at doses of 8 mg ephedrine/80 mg caffeine (E8C80, n = 10), or 10 mg ephedrine/100 mg caffeine (E10C100, n = 7), per kg metabolic body weight on body composition of feedlot Mehraban ram lambs (8-month-old) was studied. The lambs were fed for 95 da...

ALTHOUGH MANY TOOTHED WHALES (CETACEA: Odontoceti) lactate for 2-3 years or more, it is not known whether milk composition is affected by lactation stage in any odontocete species. We collected 64 pooled milk samples spanning 1-30 months postpartum from three captive bottlenose dolphins Tursiops truncatus. Milks were assayed for water, fat, crude protein (TN × 6.38) and sugar; gross energy was ...

Sorghum is the world’s fifth most important cereal grain after wheat, maize, rice and barley. Sourdoughs have been successfully used to improve the quality of gluten-free bread. The production of a novel food product with improved health benefit for gluten intolerance individuals necessitated this study. Microbiological and physicochemical qualities of the bread samples were determined. Sorghum...

European hares of both sexes rely on fat reserves, particularly during the reproduc-tive season. Therefore, hares should select dietary plants rich in fat and energy. However, hares also require essential polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) such as linoleic acid (LA) and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) to reproduce and survive. Although hares are able to absorb PUFA selectively in their gastrointesti...

New barley products can be developed by modifying the content of bioactive components in grain through breeding, as well improving its quality at lower fertilizer costs. We aimed to study effects genotype, growth conditions, and top-dressing application nitrogen organo-mineral fertilizers on chemical composition grain.
 The varieties Novichok, Rodnik Prikamya, Pamyaty Rodinoy were grown un...

a 50-day feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of yeast nucleotide in diets on growth performance, serum immune indices and muscle composition of ancherythroculter nigrocauda(mean initial body weight, 23.30±0.59 g). seven isonitrogenous (approximately 42.76% crude protein) and isoenergetic (17.43 kj g−1 gross energy) experimental diets with varying levels of yeast nucleotide (0[co...
