in this study, we determined the effects of replacing different levels of alfalfa with pistachio hull (ph) on feed intake, digestibility of nutrients, rumen fermentative parameters, blood metabolites and nitrogen metabolism in balochi male lambs. three male lambs (35±2 kg live weight) equipped with ruminal and abomasual cannulas were randomly assigned into a 3 × 3 latin square design. experimen...

In this study, an experiment under controlled conditions was carried out to determine the effects of secondarytreated sewage effluent (STSE) application on soil nitrogen concentrations (mineral and total), total carbon and soil pH. The soil and STSE used were collected at Lins, São Paulo State, Brazil. A completely randomized design was used, in completed factorial 4x11 (weekly application rate...

This experiment was conducted at Azad University experiment station to evaluate the effects of planting date and time of nitrogen application on yield and sugar content of sweet sorghum in 2003. Four planting dates (May 4, March 19, June 3 and June 18) and three stages of nitrogen application (3-5/8 leaf stage, boot stage and soft dough stage) were assigned to the main and subplots, respectivel...

The flag leaf has been traditionally considered as the main contributor to grain nitrogen. However, during the reproductive stage, other organs besides the flag leaf may supply nitrogen to developing grains. Therefore, the contribution of the ear and other organs to the nitrogen supplied to the growing grains remains unclear. It is important to develop phenotypic tools to assess the relative co...

Soil nitrogen and phosphorus are commonly limiting elements affecting plant species richness in temperate zones. Our species richness-ecological study was performed in alder-dominated forests representing temperate floodplains (streamside alder forests of Alnion incanae alliance) and swamp forests (alder carrs of Alnion glutinosae alliance) in the Western Carpathians. Species richness (i.e., th...

a total of 153 samples of milk were collected from one to none months lactating mothers age 17 to 44 years. the protein, total nitrogen, fat, lactose and calcium content 0f these milks were determined. marked individual variation existed in the protein lactose and fat content of the milks, which was in agreement with finding of other investigators. a gradual decrease was noticed in the protein ...

background: composting as a waste management technology is becoming more widespread. the purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility and to find the most effective composting process for the ratio of green waste, digested and dewatered sludge from chonibieh wastewater treatment plant in the west region of ahvaz. methods: the composting time was 23 days and the evaluated parameters in th...
