Control of ration quantity and composition is important in the management of horses with pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (PPID) or equine metabolic syndrome (EMS) that exhibit obesity and/or hyperinsulinemia. In obesity, restriction of daily dry matter intake to 1.25% to 1.5% of current body weight will facilitate weight loss and improvement in insulin sensitivity in most horses, although...

background: biostimulants are amino acids and organic components, which can play main role in the plant growth and dry matter accumulation. objective: determine the influence of foliar application of active amino acids on quality and quantity yield of melissa officinalis l. methods: this study was conducted in a research farm at the institute of medicinal plants on the base of randomized comple...

Lipids in liver wet and dry matter, liver moist and dry matter and their relationships were investigated based on species, sex and age in cows, buffaloes, sheep and goats. Mean percentage of lipids in liver wet and dry matter and liver dry matter in cows were 3.60%, 1.10%, 29.70%, and for buffaloes were 5.30%, 1.55%, 29.20%, sheep 3.00%, 0.83%, 27.90%, and goats 2.910%, 1.55% and 28.40%, respec...

Abstract Obtaining high potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tuber yield through increased number and weight of quality tubers is important for farmers while the quality factors are of interest for food processing industries. Potato processing industries require high quality tubers having the highest possible dry matter, starch and protein contents. A two-year field study was carried out as a factoria...

Crude protein, fat, water, ash, dry matter and essential amino and fatty acids were analyzed from freshly collected Chironomus plumosus larvae in order to evaluate their suitability as a component for farmed fish diet. The analyses were performed in intact living organisms and in the dry matter. Essential amino acids were determined by LKB 4101 automatic analyzer, while fatty acids were determi...

efficient use of natural and biological cycles such as nitrogen fixation by legumes may stimulate yield of non-legumes crops in an intercropped system. in order to evaluate spring barley (h) and annual alfalfa (m) intercropping, a study was conducted in the research field of university of tehran (located in karaj) during 2009-2010 growing season. in this research, a randomized complete block de...

in order to study the effect of strip intercropping of maize (zea mays l.) and bean (phaseolus vulgaris l.) on the dry matter yield and land equivalent ratio (ler) in weedy and weed free treatments, an experiment was conducted at the agricultural station of college of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran. treatments were strip width of 2, 3, 4 and 5 rows and sole cropping of each c...
