An experiment evaluated the effects of six corn processing methods in feedlot diets containing 30% (DM basis) wet distillers grains plus solubles (WDGS). Treatments consisted of whole corn, dry-rolled corn, a dry-rolled/ high-moisture corn mix, high-moisture corn, steam flaked corn, and fine ground corn. The ADG was highest for steers receiving dry-rolled corn, high-moisture corn, or a 50:50 bl...

Background: Exposure to Ultraviolet B (UVB) rays on the skin causesmany problems, including pigmentation and aging effect. Hence, protection against it is needed. Purpose: The study aimedto determine effect of corncob extract cream number melanin pigments in guinea pig skins exposed UVB rays. Methods: Anexperimental post-test-only control group was conducted 25 pigs. pigs were divided randomly ...

protection of animals immunized against bacillus anthracis is usually demonstrated by challenging with an appropriate dose of a strain of bacillus anthracis that is lethal to unvaccinated animals inoculated at the same time. in this study the protective efficacy in anthrax vaccine (34f2 sterne strain spore) was evaluated in sheep, goats and guinea pigs challenged with subcutaneous inoculation o...

background: the loop pattern of the small intestine is of considerable importance in categorizing them and the intestine length of the two sex is different. in this respect there is no research performed on pheasant family as guinea fowl. objectives: in this research histomorphology of guinea fowl's small intestine was studied. methods: for this study 20 adult male and female guinea fowls ...

introduction: to describe the underlay tympanoplasty technique using an acellular dermal graft(alloderm) for tympanic membrane (tm) reconstruction in a guinea pig model and to demonstrate the feasibility of the technique using alloderm tissue harvested from the prepuce as a source of tissue for future grafting in human tm reconstruction.   materials and methods: the prepuce was divided during c...

We present a framework for analysing the rheology of dense driven granular materials, based on a recent proposal of a stress-based ensemble. In this ensemble, fluctuations in a granular system near jamming are controlled by a temperature-like parameter, the angoricity, which is conjugate to the stress of the system. In this paper, we develop a model for slowly driven granular materials based on...

Three experiments were conducted to determine the effects of cattle age and dietary forage level on the utilization of corn fed whole or ground to feedlot cattle. In Exp. 1, 16 steers were used to investigate the effects of cattle age and corn processing on diet digestibility. Two cattle age categories were evaluated (weanling [254 +/- 20 kg BW] and yearling [477 +/- 29 kg BW]; eight steers per...
