The feeding behavior of growing-finishing pigs reared under precision feeding strategies was studied in 35 barrows and 35 females (average initial BW of 30.4 ± 2.2 kg) over 84 d. Five different feeding programs were evaluated, namely a conventional 3-phase program in which pigs were fed with a constant blend of diet A (high nutrient density) and diet B (low nutrient density) and 4 daily phase-f...

Recombinant protein production in Pichia pastoris is based on alcohol oxidase promoterswhich are regulated by methanol. However, the use of methanol has several disadvantages,which is why current trends in bioprocess development with Pichia pastoris (P. pastoris) arefocusing on methanol mixed feeding strategies. This work aimed to develop a new experimentalmethod and compare the effect of vario...

BackgroundThe maternal attitude toward infant feeding is one of the strong predictors of the start and continuation of exclusivebreastfeeding. According to the validity and reliability assessment of Iowa Infant Feeding Attitude Scale (IIFAS) in many countries, the purpose of this study was to examine psychometric properties of an Iranian version of this scale. Materials and MethodsThe present s...

The gut microbiome and daily feeding/fasting cycle influence host metabolism and contribute to obesity and metabolic diseases. However, fundamental characteristics of this relationship between the feeding/fasting cycle and the gut microbiome are unknown. Our studies show that the gut microbiome is highly dynamic, exhibiting daily cyclical fluctuations in composition. Diet-induced obesity dampen...

Four pigs fitted with a gastric cannula were fed on a wheat-flour-based diet (WF) and three oat-based diets, consisting mainly of oat flour (OF), rolled oats (RO) or oat bran (OB), for 1 week each. The stomach contents were collected quantitatively daily at 0.5, 1, 2, 3 or 5 h after feeding. The viscosity (mPa.s) of the liquid fraction of stomach contents 1 h after feeding was 1.7 with diet WF,...

In Iran 8% of HIV- infected cases are women. Since most of them are young and in childbearing ages, in case of becoming pregnant and not receiving preventive measures, they can infect their child. Without Preventive measures transmission rate is 15 to 45 percent. Several factors such as sever stage of HIV and AIDS ,CD4 low count, high viral loud, acute retroviral phase, STDs, vaginal delivery, ...

abstract background: premature neonates’ feeding is of great importance due to its effective role in their growth. these neonates should reach an independent oral nutrition stage before being discharged from the neonatal intensive care unit. therefore, the researcher decided to conduct a study on the effect of palady and cup feeding on premature neonates’ weight gain and their reaching full ora...

Generalized linear mixed models were developed using retrospective feedlot data collected on individually treated cattle (n = 31,131) to determine whether cattle performance and health outcomes in feedlot cattle were associated with timing of treatment for bovine respiratory disease (BRD) during the feeding phase. Cattle that died at any point during the feeding phase were removed from the anal...

Objective: Determine and analyze the impact of limit feeding a high-energy diet in backgrounding phase, primarily based on dry-rolled corn Sweet Bran (Cargill Animal Nutrition, Blair, NE), animal performance finishing phase carcass merit.
