this study was carried out to assess the effects of alfalfa hay level and replacing corn grain by other grains in starter on daily feed intake, average daily gain (adg) and feed efficiency (fe) of pre and post-weaning dairy calves during the pre and post-weaning periods. for this purpose, a database meta-analysis used in the present study. statistical analyses were performed using proc mixed in...

A study was conducted to evaluate effects of age at weaning on various growth characteristics and stress measures of Zandi lambs. The lambs were weaned at 45 and 90 days of age. The body weights and average daily gain (ADG) were monitored during the experimental period and 5 months of age. Cortisol, glucose, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and lamb behavior (agitation, vocalization) were recorded bef...

Introduction  Mechanical ventilation may be lifesaving intervention,It can be associated with complications,Thus,successful weaning is constitutive.One of the factors which is  important in successful weaning is  method of weaning. It is shown that  weaning is conducted successfully by using Spontaneous Breathing Trial (SBT) through T-piece and pressure support (PS) ventilation.But few studies ...

We determined the impact of creep feed provision and type on pre- post-weaning growth performance piglets. At 2 wk post farrow, litters (n = 50) were given no or provided a simple feed, complex both until weaning at ∼28 d. Creep regardless type, resulted in increased (P < 0.05) piglets final week pre-weaning immediate post-weaning, which was not maintained end nursery period. Piglets showed ...

a 21-year old man with cervical spinal cord damage due to diving was admitted in the icu. tracheostomy was performed due to prolonged mechanical ventilation. left lung atelectasis happened frequently. because of the difficulty of bronchoscopy and failing of recruitment, using a double lumen, two tracheal tubes were guided into the left and right lungs through the tracheostomy stoma site. after ...

The impact of weaning age and/or supplemental liquid feed in the farrowing pen on pre- and post-weaning intake was investigated. systems consisted a milk replacer from day 2, changed to cereal-based 12 days after birth. By continuing with same post-weaning, but dry form, we hypothesised that change would be less abrupt increase post-weaning. study 24 sows their litters 2 × factorial design. des...

BACKGROUND: Many additives have been recommended to calf feed but the effects of each supplement have been under investigation especially during weaning stress. OBJECTIVES: The effects of dietary supplementation of probiotic (Protexin) and chromium-methionine che- late (Cr-Met) on triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4), total protein, albumin, zinc, and gr...

Background & objectives: Weaning of children depends on several factors, recognizing each of these factors will be effective in adopting strategies to prevent abrupt cessation of breastfeeding. The aim of this study was to investigate the method of complete weaning of children and the factors affecting it in mothers with children aged 30-36 months in Kerman. Methods: In this cross-sectional st...
