one hundred twenty male broiler chickens of 20 d of age were used to study the effect of enzyme supplementation on the apparent metabolisable energy corrected for nitrogen in corn, wheat and triticale using total excreta collection or marker methods. the average apparent metabolisable energy corrected for nitrogen in corn, wheat and triticale on dry matter basis, were 3480 ±90, 3263 ±61 and 326...

BACKGROUND The apolipoprotein A5 gene (APOA5) -1131 T > C polymorphism is associated with mild hypertriglyceridemia in type 2 diabetic subjects, and interacts with dietary fat in the determination of triglyceride concentrations. We examined whether a substitution of whole grains and legumes for refined rice in a high carbohydrate diet (about 65% of energy derived from carbohydrate) may modify t...

Crude protein requirements of finishing cattle over 1000 lb are below 10 percent of dietary dry matter (NRC, 1976). However, crude protein is usually fed in excess of 10 percent of DM due to decreased feed intake and performance at lower protein levels. Finishing diets usually consist of cereal grains fed ad libitum. With milo and corn grains, substantial quantities of starch are not completely...

PURPOSE The effects of the Parks' anal retractor on anal sphincter function were studied in a prospective, randomized trial. A closed hemorrhoidectomy was performed intra-anally in 20 patients using the Parks' anal retractor; in 20 other patients, the procedure was done perineally without the use of a retractor. METHODS Anal manometry was performed before and at 6 and 12 weeks after hemorrhoi...

to study the effects of phosphate and zinc sulfate fertilizers application methods on the yield and yield components of maize under water stress a randomized complete block with split plot factorial arrangement with three replications at research farm of the bu ali sina university was conducted in 2014. three levels of irrigation after 60, 90 and 120 mm evaporation from evaporation a pan was as...

ABSTRACT Current models for forecasting Fusarium head blight (FHB) and deoxynivalenol (DON) levels in wheat are based on weather near anthesis, and breeding for resistance to FHB pathogens often relies on irrigation before and shortly after anthesis to encourage disease development. The effects of post-anthesis environmental conditions on FHB are poorly understood. We performed a field experime...
