samples of grass pea seed (lathyrus sativus) were prepared and analyzed for some chemical composition and as well for their anti-nutritional factors. the rumen degradability coefficients and post ruminal digestibility of dry matter and crude protein of unheated vs. oven heated samples were determined, employing in situ and in vitro techniques. results indicated that grass pea seed contained a c...

fenugreek (trigonella  foenum graecum), native to southern europe and asia, is an annual herb with white flowers and hard, yellowish brown and angular seeds, known from ancient times, for nutritional value beside of its medicinal effects. fenugreek seeds are rich source of gum, fiber, alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins and volatile content. due to its high content of fiber, fenugreek could be used...

this study investigated the effect of season (wet and dry) on milk composition of the dromedary camel (camelus dromedarius). milk samples representing the wet and dry seasons were analyzed for total solids (ts), fat (f), solids-non-fat (snf), ash, crude protein (cp), nitrogen soluble at ph 4.6 (sn), mineral content (mc) and casein fraction (cnf). camel milk had higher (p<0.05) fat content in th...

landslides are natural disasters that annually inflict great damages to public and private properties which may associate with loss of life. in recent decades, research on developing methods for predicting the time of landslide has been one of the significant attempts made by scientists. since in some type of material, landslides are preceded by undetectable movements that cannot be recorded an...
