an experiment was carried out to develop and evaluate a semi-purified diet suitable for fiber related studies without negative impacts on performance, serum biochemistry and intestinal morphology of growing japanese quails. total of 144 japanese quail chicks were used in a factorial arrangement using completely randomized design with 6 treatments, 4 replicates of 6 quails in each replicate. the...

hazelnut (corylus avellna l.) is one of the important nut crops in world. the harvesting ofhazelnuts is done either by hand or by manual or mechanical raking of fallen nuts in iran.common hazel is widely cultivated for its nuts, including in commercial orchards in europe,turkey, and iran. there are some genotypes of hazelnut in iran that their growing areas arelimited to gillan, aredbil, mazand...

intercropping is considered as a method for increasing yield per unit and stability. in order to evaluate the effects of phosphorous biofertilizer and chemical phosphorous on fodder quality of corn (zea mays l.) and grass pea (lathyrus sativa l.) intercropping, two field experiments were conducted as factorial based on randomized complete block design with four replications at two places simult...

for this reason the samples were obtained from three area in kerman province that cartivate corn in large amounts (giroft, kahnooj, baft).the amounts of samples were enough for both voluntary consumption and investigation of digestibility. after that samples had been chopped by electric chopper we sampled again from every sample and its chemical compositions were determined with standard method...

A number of analytical methods for constituents commonly measured in distillers dried grains (DDG) are practiced in laboratories serving the agricultural sector. A large interlaboratory variability among results has been observed in the industry. Methods for moisture, crude fat, and crude fiber are empirical, thus part of this variability can be attributed to the use of different methods of ana...

an experiment was conducted to predict the true metabolizable energy (tmen) of compounded starter feeds of broiler chickens trough their chemical composition using precision-feeding method of sibbald in male boilers. in the first, eight compounded feed samples provided from eight feed plants and their chemical composition determined in laboratory. results of chemical composition showed that ave...
