this study was carried out to investigate the effects of treated protein supplements with tannin extracted from pistachio by-product (p-pb) on in vitro gas production using fistulated sheep. one portion of p-pb was mixed with four portions of water for 48 h. the extracted product was sprayed on soybean meal (sbm) or canola meal (cm) with an equal ratio (1:1 v/w) and dried in the shade. the expe...

the performance of new forage brassica plants were studied in ilam, iran, during 2012-2014 in a field experiment using a randomized complete block design with four replications. the treatments included, different forage crops perko, buko, oilseed radish, berseem clover, and the combination of three plants ramtil, phaselia, and clover. the studied traits consisted of plant height, forage yield, ...

a bivoltine silkworm hybrid, ka x nb4d2 was treated with the juvenoid r394 (ethyl-9 cyclohexyl-3,7-dimethyl-2,4-nonadienoate) at a dose of 0.039 nl/larva at 24, 48, 72 and 96 h of 5th instar for silk yield improvement. treatment specific significant increase was observed in the cocoon and shell weight with no such marked variation in the shell percentage. notable changes were also seen in trait...

according to the drought as the most important environmental factor that limiting agricultural products and using nitrogen as the most consumed nutrition element in farming system, in this study investigates examined the effect of nitrogen on drought tolerance characteristics, including changes in total chlorophyll content, total protein content, leaf area, phosphorus and peroxidase enzyme acti...

Background: To evaluate the radioprotective potential of Punica granatum fruit rind extract (PGRE) in mouse testes. Materials and Methods: Adult male mice were divided into four groups. Group I was kept without any treatment. Group II was irradiated with 8Gy Co60 gamma irradiation and Group III was given PGRE one hour before irradiation. Group IV was fed with PGRE at the rate of 10 mg/kg body w...

The proximate composition, amino acids and fatty acids composition in the muscle of wild, inshore and offshore cage-cultured large yellow croaker, Pseudosciaena crocea (Richardson, 1846), were determined to identify nutritional differences. Wild fish groups showed highest content of moisture and crude protein, but the lowest lipid content. Offshore cage-cultured fish showed significantly higher...

agronomic and physiological traits and protein expression were compared between non-bt glandless upland cotton variety-zhong5629 and its bt-transgenic near-isogenic lines differing in cryiac gene. results showed that the bt isogenic line had higher plant height and rate of effective bolls, more internal bolls but lower yield, than the non-bt line. the bt isogenic line had lower chlorophyll cont...

effects of condensed tannins (ct) on crude protein availability in sainfoin hay was investigated according to most popular ruminant feeding systems. different treatments including polyethylene glycol (6000 mw), sodium hydroxide, sodium bicarbonate, potassium permanganate, wood ash, water and urea, were applied for deactivation of ct crude protein fractioning was determined using nylon bag techn...

this experiment was conducted to consider the effects of maturity and cutting time on chemical composition and available protein content of alfalfa hay for dairy cows.. alfalfa hay harvested at two maturity stages (pre-bloom and early bloom) and two cutting times (morning and afternoon). available protein was predicted using nrc (2001) and dve/oeb (1994) models. in the nrc model (2001), alfalfa...
