probiotics are live microorganisms with beneficial health effects on host animals which exert their effects on performance, gastrointestinal tract and immune system. various probiotic products are available in the market. this study compared the effects of various probiotic products on broiler performance, intestinal morphology and some immunological and hematological parameters. five probiotic...

This study was performed to investigate the effects of dietary threonine (Thr). level on performance, metabolizable energy, intestinal morphology, and immune system in coccidian–infected broiler chickens. The diets contained: 88%, 100% (Non challenged (NC) and challenged control (PC)), 112%, 124%, and 136% of Thr requirement according to Cobb 500 recommendation and fed during grower (pre challe...

A 10-year survey of immune status of nuclear power plant (NPP) workers was assessed by cellular and humoral immune parameters. The cumulative doses of NPP workers were in the range of 0.06 to 766.36 mSv. The results did not show significant deviations in the studied parameters of cellular and humoral immunity, but a tendency of elevated values in CD3+4+ helper inducers cells, especially its CD4...

Using the ARGUS detector at the e+e storage ring DORIS II, we have measured the Michel parameters , , and for ! l  decays in -pair events produced at center of mass energies in the region of the resonances. Using ! as spin analyzing tags, we nd e = 0:68 0:04 0:08, e = 1:12 0:20 0:09, e = 0:57 0:14 0:07, = 0:69 0:06 0:08, = 1:25 0:27 0:14 and = 0:72 0:18 0:10. In addition, we report the combine...

In the presence of nuisance parameters, we derive an explicit higher order asymptotic formula to compare the expected lengths of conndence intervals given by likelihood ratio statistics arising from the usual proole likelihood and various adjustments thereof. Highest posterior density regions, with approximate frequentist validity, are also included in the study.
