Milk urea nitrogen (MUN) of dairy cows was determined in relation to breed. A total of forty (40) Pabna and red Chittagong dairy cattle each of twenty (20) were selected to know the milk composition, nutritional status and milk urea nitrogen. Live weight of Pabna Cattle (187±14 kg) was higher than that of red Chittagong cattle (174±4 kg). In Pabna cattle milk yield (4.94 kg), minerals (0.15%) a...

this experiment was carried out using 200 ross 308 broiler chickens in a completely randomized design with 5 treatments and 4 replicates. the true metabolisable energy of the barley hulls were determined using cecectomized roosters.the dry matter, true metabolisable energy, ash, ether extracts, crude protein, crude fiber, ndf, adf, ca and total p content of barely hulls were: 92%, 978 kcal/kg, ...

to study the chemical composition and qualitative comparison of the pistachio by-products and the effect of pistachio hull tannin on its digestibility and gas production, four experiments were carried out. in the first experiment, nutrient composition, phenolic and tannin components of the ohadi, kaleghuchi and white varieties of pistachio by-product from dehulling process were measured. pistac...

the relationship between blood physiological attributes and carcass characteristics wasstudied in 40 randomly selected 8-month-old ram lambs of ghezel and mehraban (20 rams per breed)sheep. one day before slaughter, blood samples were obtained after a 24 hr fast. serum samples wereassayed for glucose, cholesterol, serum urea nitrogen (sun), total protein, albumin, triglycerides,creatinine, and ...

five levels of salicylic acid (sa), (0, 2, 4, 6 & 8 mm) were sprayed on strawberry cv. comarosa fruit bearing plants in a hydroponic culture. growth, yield & fruit quality attributes were assessed. vegetative characteristics (crown number, root & shoot weight), reproductive traits (yield, fruit number as well as shape), fruit quality, macro elements (ca, mg, k & p), dry weight & ash were evalua...

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 (...

Abstract. Information on forage quality in phenological stage could help range managers to choose suitable grazing method to achieve higher animal performance without detriment to vegetation. Vetiver grass (Vetiveria zizanioides) is a non-native perennial grass that was introduced to the Iran in 2008. This plant is a multi use species that could be considered from different viewpoints. Thus, it...

probiotics have shown beneficial effects on growth parameters of various food animals. in this research, the growth promoting effects of a multi-strain probiotic was investigated on common carp (cyprinus carpio). accordingly, 200 fish (6-7g) were randomly allocated to 4 experimental groups. the first group received placebo and was served as the negative control. the second group received the pr...

three experiments were conducted to study the chemical composition and the effect of variety, cultivation area as well as enzyme supplementation on the apparent and true metabolisable energy of triticale. in the first experiment, the precision-fed rooster assay was employed to determine the true metabolisable energy corrected for nitrogen in triticale. in the second and third experiments, total...
