this study was conducted to determine the chemical composition and metabolizable energy of poultry by-product meal (pbpm) from two slaughterhouses in iran. samples were analyzed for dry matter, crude protein, ash, ether extract and gross energy. the amounts of calcium, phosphorus, sodium, potassium, magnesium, iron, manganese, copper and zinc were determined. the apparent metabolizable energy (...

Thir ty-one 3-year-old Angus cows and 23 2-year-old Angus heifers were randomly allotted to two t rea tment groups to examine the influence o f PMSG on endocr ine and reproductive responses. Sixteen cows and 11 heifers received a single subcutaneous inject ion of 2,000 IU PMSG on day 17 o f the estrous cycle (Trt 17); 15 cows and 12 heifers received 1,500 IU PMSG on day 5 and 2,000 IU on day 17...

In the title compound, [Ni(C(6)H(16)N(2))(2)](NO(3))(2)·H(2)O, the bis-(2,3-dimethyl-butane-2,3-diamine)nickel(II) complex cation possesses a relatively undistorted square-planar geometry about the Ni atom, which lies on an inversion centre and is coordinated by four N atoms from two symmetry-related 2,3-diamino-2,3-dimethyl-butane (tmen) ligands. The amine groups are N-H⋯O hydrogen bonded to t...

Benning(M) and Benning(MGH) are near-isogenic lines (NILs) of the soybean cultivar Benning, which contain insect-resistance quantitative trait loci (QTLs) from the soybean accession PI 229358. Benning(M) contains QTL-M, which confers antibiosis and antixenosis. In addition to QTL-M, Benning(MGH) contains QTL-G, which confers antibiosis, and QTL-H, which confers antixenosis. Soybean meal was pro...

Three hundred and sixty one-day-old chicks (Arian) were used in a completely randomized design with five treatments and four replicates for each treatment. The experimental treatments included: control group (without barley) with and without enzyme, 20% hulled barley with and without enzyme, 20% hull-less barley with and without enzyme. Body weights, feed intake and feed conversion were determi...

The cyclic voltammetric behaviour of copper (II) tetraethylethylenediamine systems with [Cu(II)]:[teen] =1:10, 1:100 molar ratios, 1x10M Cu(ClO4)2.6H2O in aqueous 0.2M NaClO4 supporting electrolyte have been studied at pH7.20, 9.10 and 10.85. The electrode process show quasi reversible one electron charge transfer preceded and followed by chemical reaction at glassy carbon electrode (GCE). For ...

U Wi are in the second generat ion of heal thcare :thics," said Bart Collopv, PhD, at a conference on "integrated ethics" sponsored by Calvary Hospital, Bronx, NY, April 30. The conference was part of Calvary's program to ensure ethical behavior in the organization's practices as well as in clinical decision making. Collopy explained that the first generation of ethics involved patient rights a...
