The objective of this paper was to study the responses on productive performance, carcass characteristics and plasma constituents of modern broiler chicks to administration of cinnamon powder (CP) in the diet. Commercial breeds (Ross 308) of broiler chicks examined from 1 to 42 days of age. This experiment was conducted as a completely randomized design with 5 treatments and four replicates (15...

Background and objectives: Cisplatin (CP), as an anticancer drug, causes nephrotoxicity. Zataria multiflora Boiss. (ZM), a plant which has been used as a herbal medicine for a variety of ailments. Our study aimed to examine the effects of ZM on cisplatin induced nephrotoxicity. Methods: Thirty-two male mice were randomly divided into four groups. The co...

The aim of this study was to compare the nutritional value of sunflower meal (SFM) and soybean meal (SBM) protein by determining both its ruminal degradability and intestinal digestibility. Three non lactating Jersey cows fitted with a rumen and T-type duodenal cannulas were used to estimate rumen degradability and intestinal digestibility of SFM and SBM dry matter (DM) and crude protein (CP). ...

Twenty eight lactating buffaloes were used in a completely randomized design with 2×2 factorial arrangement of four experimental diets including low protein–low energy (LP-LE), low protein–high energy (LP-HE), high protein–low energy (HP-LE) and high protein–high energy (HP-HE). Results showed that the HP-HE diet recorded the highest digestibility coefficients of CP, EE, NFE, nutritive values, ...

Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) causes serious diseases in agricultural crops worldwide, predominantly vegetable and ornamental plants. A critical interaction has been reported between the plant Ferredoxin I (Fd I) protein with coat (CP) of M strain CMV (M-CMV) but not by CP Q (Q-CMV). To ascertain most likely symptom development model based on interacting Fd protein, further silico investigation w...

cucumber mosaic virus (cmv) is one of widely-spread viruses of plants with the broadest host range encompassing over 1200 species. one major limiting factor for detection of the virus is unavailability of the virus-specific antibodies especially in developing countries. recombinant dna technology facilitates antibody preparation without requiring special equipment. in this study, coat protein (...

  Shirbot (Barbus grypus) as a species with high potential for aquaculture development recently propagated artificially in South Iran Aquaculture Research Center to extend the species diversity in polyculture system. To provide an effective economic diet for this species 9 experimental diets containing three crude protein levels (250, 300, and 350 g kg -1) and three metabolizable energy levels ...

the potential of near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (nirs) as a fast method to predict the crude protein (cp) and moisture (m) content in fishmeal by scanning spectra between 1000 and 2500 nm using multivariate regression technique based on partial least squares (pls) was evaluated. the coefficient of determination in calibration (r2c) and standard error of calibration (sec) were 0.95 and 1...
