The animals used in the research were standard albino rats and a strain of hooded rats which had been inbred for a number of years. The stock members of the colony were maintained on Steenbock’s ration (2) except that bone ash was substituted for calcium carbonate in accordance with later recommendations of the author. Fresh, whole milk was given ad Zibitum. Litters were reduced to six animals....

Animals generally adjust their behavior in response to bodily state (e.g. size and energy reserves) to optimize energy intake in relation to mortality risk, weighing predation probability against starvation. Here we investigated whether brown trout adjust their behavior in relation to feeding history (energetic status) and body size during a major early-life selection bottleneck, when fast grow...

Ration shops are one of the main food product supply centers Government. has an insignificant amount goods, theft material, large waiting time in ration store and they keep all records big paper file. This project is execute to overcome obstacle that exist current distribution system. cards replaced with smart card which required information (name, contact number, aadhar number) saved. Once mat...

Background: This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of supplementing ruminant ration with propionibacterium P169 by using 3X3 Latin square Rahmani rams on feed intake, nutrients digestibility, rumen fermentation, blood plasma metabolites. Methods: Rams were divided into three groups with three successive experimental periods. Each period consisted of 21 days. Animals were fed on: rati...

I. A study was made of the changes in electrolyte concentrations and ruminal function which resulted from the provision of 1.3 7; sodium chloride solutions instead of fresh water to sheep consuming roughage rations in chaffed and in ground pelleted forms. 2. Significantly higher osmotic pressures were observed in the rumen fluid of the sheep drinking saline water, the change being especially ma...

Functionally, the innate immune system of immature chickens is inefficient during the first week posthatch. This immunological inefficiency enables pathogens such as Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis (SE) to invade and colonize the visceral organs of immature chickens. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of purified beta-glucan as an immunomodulator of the innate immune...

Few studies have demonstrated plasticity of egg size within the confines of an egg size-number trade-off in response to trophic conditions in fishes. Moreover, the physiological mechanisms that govern this plasticity are not known. Growth differentiation factor 9 (Gdf9) and bone morphogenetic factor 15 (Bmp15) are oocyte-specific factors implicated in follicular growth and ovulation in mammals....
