Twenty seven lambs were used to investigate the effects of the inclusion of 4% hydrogenated palm oil (HPO) or sunflower oil (SFO) in the concentrate on feed intake, animal performance and fatty acid composition. Animals (16.2±0.27 kg initial weight) were fed concentrate (Control, HPO or SFO) and barley straw ad libitum and slaughtered at 25 kg. Vegetable oils did not affect (P>0.05) feed intake...

a study was conducted to evaluate the effects of blood pressure medications on index of liver damage in ascites incidence in broilers. a completely randomized experimental design with a 2×3 factorial arrangement (sex and feed additive), with 3 replicates of 12 birds, with 216 (108 male and 108 female) one-day-old (ross 308) was applied. feed additive includes control (without feed additive) lev...

the aim of this study was to determine the effect of different dietary levels of walnut leaves powder and vitamin e supplementation on blood antioxidant status, production performance and egg quality characteristics in commercial laying hens. a total number of 216 leghorn hy-line w-36 (70 week old) strain laying hens used the completely randomized design were divided into 6 groups with 3 replic...

introduction under commercial conditions broiler are feed restricted during rearing to limit growth rate. this quantitative restriction of feed intake aims at avoiding rapid growth and high body weights, which are associated with pathological conditions, such as ascites, lameness, and mortality. feed restriction (fr) in breeder layer hens was rarely and fr used for poor reproductive results and...

Mice are housed at temperatures (20-26 °C) that increase their basal metabolic rates and impose high energy demands to maintain core temperatures. Therefore, energy must be reallocated from other biological processes to increase heat production to offset heat loss. Supplying laboratory mice with nesting material may provide sufficient insulation to reduce heat loss and improve both feed convers...

In this paper we present the results of the statistical analysis of high-latitude Hi turbulence in the Milky Way. We have observed Hi in the 21 cm line, obtained with the Arecibo L-Band Feed Array (ALFA) receiver at the Arecibo radio telescope. For recovering of velocity statistics we have used the Velocity Coordinate Spectrum (VCS) technique. In our analysis we have used direct fitting of the ...

Diploid and triploid rainbow trout weighing approximately 3g were either fed for five weeks, or feed deprived for one week, followed by refeeding. During feed deprivation gastrointestinal somatic index decreased in diploids, but not triploids, and during refeeding, carcass growth rate recovered more quickly in triploids. Although not affected by ploidy, liver ghr2 and igfbp2b expression increas...

The objectives of the present study were to estimate the microbial-N flow to the small intestine and to predict the digestible organic matter intake (DOMI) in grazing Karayaka sheep based on urinary excretion of purine derivatives (xanthine, hypoxanthine, uric acid, and allantoin) by the use of spot urine sampling under field conditions. In the trial, 10 Karayaka sheep from 2 to 3 years of age ...
