Andrographolide (ADG) is a diterpenoid isolated from Andrographis paniculata with a wide spectrum of biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, anticancer and hepatoprotective effects. However, its poor water solubility and efflux by P-glycoprotein have resulted in lower bioavailability. In this study, ADG nanosuspensions (ADG-NS) were prepared using a wet media milling technique follo...

central composite design (ccd; 5 levels and 3 factors) and response surface regression (rsreg) were used to evaluate the response of broiler chicks [average daily gain (adg), feed conversion ratio (fcr) and feed intake (fi)] to dietary requirements of  lysine (lys), methionine (met) and threonine (thr). a total of 60 battery brooder units of 6 birds each were assigned to 15 diets in 3 replicati...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the feeding of Qizil fattening lambs with different levels of broiler litter (BL) on their weight gain, dry matter intake (DMI), nutrient digestibility, selected blood metabolites and husbandry economics. During an eight-weeks experimental period, 28 male lambs (an average of 42.21 ± 5.63 kg and ages of 7-8 months) were allocated randomly to one of four die...

the aims of this research were to estimate of genetic parameters for pre-weaning traits and lamb survival in iran-black sheep. for this purpose 6344 records for birth weight (bw) and lamb survival (ls) and 5264 records for weaning weight (ww), average daily gain (adg) and kleiber ratio (kr) were available, which collected by abbasabad animal breeding and rearing station, over the period from 19...

Abstract The goal of the present paper is twofold. First, a novel expansion many-body method applicable to superfluid open-shell nuclei, so-called Bogoliubov in-medium similarity renormalization group (BIMSRG) theory, formulated. This generalization standard single-reference IMSRG theory for closed-shell systems parallels recent extensions coupled cluster, self-consistent Green’s function or pe...

Five trials in five locations in the United States involving 512 steers were conducted to evaluate the effect of monensin [200 mg/d in .9 kg of supplement (Ru mensin )] and estradiol-controlled release implants ( Compudose ) administered alone and in combination on average daily gain (ADG) in steers on pasture. The effect of energy supplementation on rate of gain was also evaluated in these sam...

The importance of birth-to-weaning average daily gain as a determinant of weight at a final age and yield of marketable pork was investigated. Treatments were imposed to create variation in birth-to-weaning ADG independent of birth weight. Newborn pigs were cross-fostered to create litters of four through 14 pigs/litter. Creep feed was offered to pigs from 5 d of age or during last 2 d before w...

Most prediction equations of feedlot performance cover average daily gains (ADG) below 1.5 kg/d. The question is whether these equations would be accurate for higher ADG. Medium-to-large-framed weanling and yearling steer calves were fed individually using a transponder-electronic gate system in three feedlot trials and fed in groups in two trials. Average daily gain ranged from .9 to 2.1 kg. S...

Hantaviruses infect humans following aerosolization from rodent feces and urine, producing hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome and hantavirus pulmonary syndrome. Due to the high rates of mortality and lack of therapies, vaccines are urgently needed. Nonreplicating adenovirus (Ad) vectors that express Andes hantavirus (ANDV) nucleocapsid protein (AdN) or glycoproteins (AdG(N) and AdG(C)) were ...
