Background: Feeding unsaturated fatty acids sources in dairy cows is considered as a strategy to improve animal health during postpartum period and milk fatty acid profile. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to investigate the effects of conjugated linoleic acid supplement and combination of sesame meal and oil on performance and milk fatty acid composition of dairy cows during transition period. MET...

The proximate analyses of the locally available commercial varieties of white and black sesame indicated that they contained 26.94%-27.65% protein, 47.79%-48.21% fat, 8.16%-8.95% carbohydrates and 5.56%-5.59% ash. Minerals like calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and potassium were present in significant quantities. Protein isolates were prepared from the defatted sesame meal using alkaline extracti...

Rainbow trout is the most important species of cold water fishes in Iran and the feeding diets which improve the quality and growth of this fish are of great importance. Rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss (n=360) specimens with approximate weight of 2±0.02g were fed with different concentrations of sesame seed in their diet instead of fish meal for 120 days. Feeding diets were prepared in 3 sesa...
