background: according to the relationship between general and central obesity with chronic disease and also the effect of the dietary fatty acids on anthropometric measurements, the purpose of the current study was to assess the  effect of a mufa-rich diet on the anthropometric measurements indexes in overweight women. methods: this randomized cross-over clinical trial included 17 overweight wo...

The aim of this study was to compare the effects of three antibiotic alternatives with a control (Antibiotic-free) and an antibiotic diet on performance and gut morphology of broilers reared on litter. 600 day-old ROSS-308 chicks were assigned to 48 pens in a CRD design with 6 × 2 factorial arrangements, in which 2 levels of chick density (5 and 7.5 chicks/m2) and 6 experimental diets (control,...

In order to evaluate the effects of chlorella on broiler performance and immune system, an experimentwas performed by using 80 ROSS 308 male broiler chicks. The experiment was accomplished incompletely randomized design including 5 treatments with 4 replication and 4 observations in eachreplicate. The basal diet was based on corn-soybean meal (control) and without any additives. Agraded level o...

The effect of Aspergillus niger-fermented Terminalia catappa seed meal-based diet on the haematological parameters of broiler chicks was studied. T. catappa seed meal was inoculated with A. niger spore suspension and incubated at room temperature for 3 weeks. Forty-five, day-old broiler chicks with an initial average weight of 30.25 ± 2.40 g were divided into three groups of fifteen animals eac...

An experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary lipid and inorganic phosphorus supplementation on growth, retention and loading of phosphorus and nitrogen in young red sea bream. Two levels of lipid (190 and 250 g/kg) and two levels of phosphorus (14 and 19 g/kg) in the dry diets were tested. Four practical diets were formulated and coded as L0P0, L0P1, L1P0 and L1P1, respecti...

A study was conducted to evaluate efficacyof wheat based vs. corn based diets on growth performance, carcass traits,blood parameters, jejunum morphological development, immunity, cecal microflora and excreta moisture in broiler chicks fed according to digestible essential amino acid profile. One hundred forty day old Ross 308 male broiler chicks randomly distributed into ten separated floor pen...

This study was to assess effects of the pretreatment in allplant based diets with microbial phytase on phosphorous utilization and growth performance of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Pretreatment trials were conducted using phytase at graded doses to determine the optimal dose of phytase. Available phosphorus (P) levels increased significantly with the increased doses of phytase and the...
