the present study examined the antioxidant defense of glutamine on plasma and liver antioxidant status in broilers under phs with respect to changes in the levels of lipid peroxidation marker malondialdehyde (mda), total antioxidant status (tas) and the activities of anti peroxidative enzymes [superoxide dismutase (sod) and glutathione dependent antioxidant enzymes glutathione peroxidase (gpx)]...

two hundred eighty days old male broiler chicks(ross strain) were randomly distributed into seven groups with four replicates (10 birds in each replicate) and were fed diets supplemented with different dietary fat sources.the results indicated that the different dietary treatments did not affect weight gain, feed intake and feed conversion ratio at 21 d (p>0.05). however, addition of dietary fa...

Three lamprey species occur in Ireland: sea lamprey, Petromyzon marinus (L.), river lamprey, Lampetra fluviatilis (L.) and brook lamprey, Lampetra planeri (Bloch). All three species are listed under Annex II of the EU Habitats Directive (Directive 92/43/EEC), thereby requiring member states to designate Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) for their protection. The juvenile or ammocoete stages ...

Energy is considered as an important production factor in many systems and therefore should be managed in parallel with other main production resources including land, labor and capital. In this paper, the energy efficiency scores of some selected dairy farms, using the non-parametric data envelopment analysis approach was assessed. The results for efficient farmers based on two DEA models show...
