Fresh herbs such as basil constitute an important food commodity worldwide. Basil provides considerable culinary and health benefits, but has also been implicated in foodborne illnesses. The naturally occurring bacterial community on basil leaves is currently unknown, so the epiphytic bacterial community was investigated using the culture-independent techniques denaturing gradient gel electroph...

introduction feed contributes about 75% of the total cost of animal production, therefore utilizing of by-products such as berseem clover and citrus pulp, as nutritive and low cost components of rations would decrease the production cost. in north of iran over autumn and winter, utilizing of these by-products in making of silage as feed for ruminants provides good feed ingredient especially in ...

The effects of basil and/or chamomile seed supplementation on the growth of Hubbard broiler chicks were evaluated. The antioxidant effects of these supplements were also assessed. 120 1-day-old broiler chicks were randomly divided into four equal groups. The control group (group 1) was fed a basal diet (BD) without supplementation. Groups 2, 3, and 4 were fed the BD supplemented with 10g basil,...

BACKGROUND Non-enzymatic glycosylation of hemoglobin is complications of diabetes. Antioxidant system imbalance can result in the emergence of free radicals' destructive effects in the long-term. Red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) and alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) contain isoflavonoids and have antioxidant activity. This experimental study evaluated the inhibitory activity of pure isoflavonoids ...

Streptococcus pneumoniae is the most common bacterium that causes community-acquired pneumonia. Basil leaves (Ocimum basilicum L.) have antibacterial compounds. The results of phytochemical screening showed basil contain saponins, tannins and essential oils which activity. purpose this study was to prove effect leaf extract on growth . This conducted using disc diffusion method, namely by soaki...

Fothergill et al., 1997; Wachendorf et al., 2001a). Research in the northeastern USA, however, indicated that White clover (Trifolium repens L.) persists in pastures mainly by white clover may not follow this pattern in a colder stolon growth. Morphologically complex (i.e., highly branched stolons) plants of white clover generally persist longer. We hypothesized climate. White clover plants in ...

Egyptian clover (Trifolium alexandrinum) is the main and oldest cultivated winter forage leguminous crop in Egypt. It occupies about one third of area with average 1.63 million Feddan (Feddan= 4200 m2 ). With an estimated productivity 42.03 tons green fodder [7]. In last years, mower conditioner machine used Egypt to cutting crops. The mean objectives current research were evaluated new wear bl...
