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,...

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...

This is the first report to identify the presence of chicoric acid (cichoric acid; also known as dicaffeoyltartaric acid, which is a caffeic acid derivatizedwith tartaric acid) in basil leaves. Rosmarinic acid, chicoric acid and caftaric acid (in the order of most abundant to least; all derivatives of caffeic acid) were identified in fresh basil leaves. Rosmarinic acid was themain phenolic comp...

BACKGROUND An intention-to-treat analysis of the Bypass versus Angioplasty in Severe Ischaemia of the Leg (BASIL) trial showed that in patients with severe lower limb ischemia (SLI) due to infrainguinal disease who survived for 2 years after intervention, initial randomization to a bypass surgery (BSX)-first vs balloon angioplasty (BAP)-first revascularization strategy was associated with impro...

Twenty-four multiparous Holstein-Friesian dairy cows were used in a replicated 3×3 Latin square changeover design experiment to test the effects of changing from corn (Zea mays) silage to red clover (Trifolium pratense) silage in graded proportions on feed intakes, milk production, and whole-body N and P partitioning. Three dietary treatments with ad libitum access to 1 of 3 forage mixtures plu...

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 ...
