isolates of a. flavus obtained from different feeds such as corn, barley, wheat, cotton ‎seed, bread waste, soybean, alfalfa, wheat bran, barley meal, canola meal, corn silage and beet ‎pulp from nine dairy farms in tehran province during 2004. ability of sclerotiom production by ‎isolates was tested. results showed 62.9 percent of isolates produced sclerotiom on cza medium ‎and 68.5 percent of...

The potent antioxidant properties of rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) extracts have been attributed to its major diterpene, carnosic acid. Carnosic acid has received considerable attention in food science and biomedicine, but little is known about its function in the plant in vivo. We recently found that highly oxidized diterpenes increase in rosemary plants exposed to drought and high light s...

this experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of using three commercial enzymes on performance and carcass quality of broiler chickens fed with wheat-barley-soy based diets. in a completely randomized design 405 of broiler (ross308) in nine treatments, three replicates (with 15 bird in each replicate) were used. the experimental diets included 1) diet based on corn–soybean meal (with...

abstract background: doxorubicin is used in treatment of many solid malignancies and lymphomas with poorly understood mechanism underlying tissue injury. rosemary leaves or extracts were found to contain high antioxidant activity almost equivalent to bha (butylated hydroxy anesole) and bht (butylated hydroxy toluene). thus, the possibility of aqueous rosemary leaves extract (re) to ameliorate d...

introduction: one of the aim of poultryscientist is to reduce cost feed along with increase in performance and improve in carcass characteristic poultry (1). in recent years, interest in use medicinal plants as feed additive to replace antibiotic growth promotor has increased. the plant additive through effect on the microbial flora of the gastro intestinal tract and the control pathogens impro...

Laboratory, digestion and growth studies were used to evaluate energy and protein supplements for ammoniated (4% of the forage DM) stargrass (Cynodon nlemfuensis Vanderyst var. nlemfuensis) hay. Ammoniation increased (P less than .05) total N concentration (.7 to .9% vs 1.7 to 2.0%) and in vitro digestion of OM, NDF and ADF and reduced (P less than .05) NDF concentration of stargrass hay. Two d...

We studied the root distribution and the effects of leachates from the dominant shrub in rosemary scrub, Florida rosemary (Ceratiola ericoides), on germination of seven subordinate rosemary scrub species. For rosemary scrub specialists, (Eryngium cuneifolium and Hypericum cumulicola), germination was suppressed by the leaf and litter leachates. For species that are not found exclusively in rose...

The effect on transcutaneous SaO2 and transcutaneous carbon dioxide tension (PtCO2) of eating was assessed in 44 patients with severe COPD (FEV1 less than 50 percent). The SaO2, PtCO2, and heart rate (HR) were measured every minute before, during, and until 30 minutes after a standardized meal (445 kcal) was consumed. All patients were measured twice on the same day, while eating a meal with hi...

Essential oils, EOs, are concentrated liquids with complex mixtures of volatile organic compounds that can be extracted from different plant materials. EOs have been used by humans throughout history due to their natural properties: pleasant fragrances, anti-bacterial/fungal activities. This work presents the impact pulsed electric fields, PEF, application as a pre-treatment for extraction euca...
