The present study was aimed to compare the developmental changes of carcass composition, meat quality characteristics and organ weight in pigs of different breeds. Six pigs (sex balance) of each breed were slaughtered at 35, 80 and 125 days of age, respectively. The carcass was chilled and the left carcass side was dissected into bone, lean meat, fat and skin; additionally, organ weight and mea...

the objective of this study was to determine the effect of different levels of chicory root and stem powder (crsp) and butyric acid (ba) combination on the performance, carcass traits, relative weight of internal organs and some blood parameters in broiler chickens. two hundred and forty one-day-old broilers (ross 308) were used in a completely randomized design with four treatments with six re...

For a relative exact homological category (C,E), we define relative points over an arbitrary object in C, and show that they form an exact homological category. In particular, it follows that the full subcategory of nilpotent objects in an exact homological category is an exact homological category. These nilpotent objects are defined with respect to a Birkhoff subcategory in C as defined by T....

OBJECTIVE To determine the effects of very weak, extremely low frequency (50 Hz) electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF) on the relative spleen weight, lymphoid organ histology, peripheral blood leukocyte and alpha-naphthyl acetate esterase positive (ANAE- positive) lymphocyte percentages of the mouse. METHODS The study was carried out in Scientific Research and Application Center of Selcuk Universit...

introduction corn and wheat are the grains most routinely used in commercial poultry diets. for consumption of these cereals, there are a competition between humans and mono-gastric animals. due to corn crop limitation in iran, approximately 50% of the corn required for poultry nutrition is supplied through imports. since triticale is more resistant to various diseases, dry weather and in simil...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of parenteral administration of L-arginine (Arg) to well-fed twin-bearing ewes from day (d) 100 of pregnancy to birth on fetal growth, body composition and neonatal behavior. Ewes received an i.v. bolus of either 345 μmol Arg-HCl/kg bodyweight or saline solution (control) 3 times a day. At d 140 of pregnancy, Arg-supplemented and control e...
