a 75-year-old woman presented with six months history of progressing lagophthalmos and immobility of the left eye. magnetic resonance imaging (mri) of the orbit demonstrated infiltration of orbital fat and the extra-ocular muscles. we performed transverse blepharotomy of the left eyelid to correct lagophthalmos; and during surgery, we took a biopsy sample from levator muscle and orbital fat. af...

Sound exposure effects have been investigated by broadcasting a group of broilers with sound of Quran verses (Group B) whereas the other group is the control broilers (Group C). The growth rate comparisons in terms of weight and raw meat texture measured by shear force have been investigated. Twenty-seven broilers were randomly selected from each group on Day 24 and weight measurement was carri...

thirty-two exclusive and twenty-seven non-exclusively breast-fed infants were followed-up from birth to 4 months of age in a maternity hospital, with a rooming-in program. face to face bf education was given to mothers in two groups after delivery and also during 4 months post-partum. body weight (wt ), length (l) and head circumference (hc) of the infants were measured at monthly intervals, an...

Carcass measurements and some immunocompetence parameters were investigated in naked neck (NaNa & Nana) and normally feathered (nana) genotypes under summer season conditions of Egypt. Two hundred and ten broiler chicks (70 of each genotype) were reared under similar environmental, managerial and hygienic conditions. The feed and water were provided ad libitum. The average high and low ambient ...

ABSTRACT   The present study was conducted to evaluate the effects of propolis on performance, immune response and meat quality broiler chickens infected with E. coli. A total 120 day old chicks were divided randomly into 4 equal experimental groups. The 1st group (G1) fed a basal diet coli (1x108 CFU) at 5 days age. 2nd (G2) supplemented (400mg/kg diet) 3rd (G3) diet). 4th (G4) served as con...

The hindlimb-unloading model was used to study the ability of muscle injured in a weightless environment to recover after reloading. Satellite cell mitotic activity and DNA unit size were determined in injured and intact soleus muscles from hindlimb-unloaded and age-matched weight-bearing rats at the conclusion of 28 days of hindlimb unloading, 2 wk after reloading, and 9 wk after reloading. Th...

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of dietary supplementation pelleted Tenebrio molitor (TM) powder with chokeberry by-product (CBP) meal on duck production and meat quality traits. A total 180 0-day-old Pekin ducks were allocated randomly between three groups viz., control, Treatment 1, 2, pens per group twenty birds pen, characterized by increasing levels TM CBP in concentration 0%, 1.5...

An experiment was conducted to compare the effect of corn-soybean meal finisher (29-42d) diets containing flaxseeds (rolled or extruded) on pellet quality, performance, n-3 fatty acids (FA) and oxidative stability of meat in broiler chickens. Seven pelleted diets were provided in a 3×2 factorial arrangement with three flaxseed levels (5, 10, and 15%) and two processing methods (rolled or extrud...
