One hundred and eighty 7-week-old laying quail were fed various diets over a 12-week period. The diets included a control diet (without essential oil mixture (EOM) or antibiotics (ANTs)), a basal diet including EOM (24 mg/kg feed), and a basal diet including an ANT (avilamycin, 10 mg/kg feed). Each treatment comprised 4 replications with 4 cages (15 quail per cage), amounting to 60 quail per tr...

we studied the antioxidant activities of the essential oils of zataria multiflora boiss. (zeo) and bunium persicum (boiss.) b. fedtsch (beo) in mixed form on linseed oil using (dpph•), ­(­abts•+), h2o2 scavenging, and reducing power assays. after calculation of ic50 for zeo and beo separately, interactions of the essential oils were investigated at the form of mixture and the results were given...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are increasingly being used to enhance crop abiotic stress resistance. Common myrtle is an economically important essential oil-producing but knowledge about its drought resistance mechanisms the mitigation potential of AMF PGPR scant. Here, we investigated effects single dual (Funneliformis mosseae, Rhizophagus ...

a study was conducted to investigate the effect of different planting densities and nitrogen doses on essential oil content and yield in herb and leaves of basil (ocimum basilicum l.). the research was conducted during 2007 and 2008 using split-plot randomized complete block design with four replications. the experiment consisted of four plant densities (30×20, 40×20 and 50×20 cm) as the main p...
