abstract this study aimed to investigate the effects of different levels of the amino acid lysine on growth performance, feed efficiency and body composition of juvenile snow trout (schizothorax zarudnyi). for this purpose, 150 fish with average weight 22.51±0.28 g fed with five levels of dietary amino acid lysine including 0 (control), 7, 12, 17 and 22 g/kg diet, for 8 weeks. fish fed two time...

the present study examined the effect of packaging film on the quantitative and qualitative properties of button mushrooms. the three types of packaging tested were a clear polyvinyl chloride box, polyvinyl chloride stretch film and biaxially-oriented polypropylene film (bopp). the five types of moisture absorbers examined were silica gel (2.5 g, 1.25 g), sodium chloride (2.5 g, 1.25 g), and si...

in the present study, the effect of two species of amf, glomus mosseae and glomus intraradices, alone and in combination, was evaluated on the growth criteria, chlorophyll content, and root rot disease caused by fusarium solani f. sp. pisi, on chickpea (cicer arietinum l.) under greenhouse conditions. chickpea seeds were sown into pots containing 100 g of amf inoculum (more than 1,000 propagule...

For determining the oil content, seed and fruit characteristics of Ethiopian Jatropha provenances, the study was conducted in five regions of Ethiopia namely Southern Nation Nationalities Peoples Regional state, Amhara region, Tigria region, Oromia region and Benishangul Gumuz Regions, where Jatropha is found abundantly. A total of 23 Zones, 36 Weredas and 40 sampling sites were considered from...

Four species of penaeid prawn cultured in Australia (Penaeus monodon, Penaeus esculentus, Marsupenaeus japonicus and Fenneropenaeus merguiensis) were injected with a virulent preparation of gill-associated virus (GAV). P. monodon (average weight = 8.9, 13.9 and 19.2 g), P. esculentus (average weight = 19.5 g), F. merguiensis (average weight = 10.5 g), and small (average weight = 5.8 g) M. japon...

The present research was designed to examine the genetic analysis of egg weight, egg yolk weight and egg albumen weight of Bovan Neva Black laying hens at 25, 51 and 72 weeks. For this purpose, thirty birds were selected from the layer flock in the Babcock University Teaching and Research Farm. They were individually housed in separate labeled battery cage. A total of thirty eggs were collected...

In this paper we consider the problem of determining the weight spectrum of q-ary codes C(3,m) associated with Grassmann varieties G(3,m). For m = 6 this was done in [1]. We derive a formula for the weight of a codeword of C(3,m), in terms of certain varieties associated with alternating trilinear forms on F q . The classification of such forms under the action of the general linear group GL(m,...

the aim of the study was to explore the mechanisms underlying the association of birth weight with later body mass index (bmi) from the biochemical markers related to metabolism and the apa i polymorphism in igf-ii gene.a total of 300 children were selected randomly from the macrosomia birth cohort in wuxi, china. the height and weight were measured and blood samples were collected. plasma conc...
