in the present study, the age- and sex-specific changes of various haematological and blood serum biochemical blood parameters of beluga ( huso huso ) were investigated. blood samples were collected from 4-, 6-, 7-, and 8-year-old beluga (n = 7 for each sex and age). the specimens were fed at a rate of 0.5-3% body weight per day. ast and ldh levels in 7- and 8-year-old fish of both sexes were s...

This study seeks to investigate the effect of restricted feeding regimes at different rate on growth performance of Clarias gariepinus using static and flow through system. Fingerlings were divided into six batches for each systems with the first and second batch fed at 5% body weight (BW) every day and every other day respectively, the third and fourth batch were fed 10% BW every day and every...

feeding performance of the green oak leaf roller, tortrix viridana (linnaeus) was determined on three host plants including quercus libani oliv, quercus infectoria oliv, and quercus branti lindl, under laboratory conditions. mean total leaf weight consumed by larvae was the highest on q. branti (0.31 g) and the lowest on q. libani (0.14 g).the feeding index was the highest on q. libani while th...

Growth, feed conversion ratio and fillet composition of rainbow trout (initial weight of 9.99±0.109)were investigated in a 6x2 factorial design experiment employing two levels of digestible energy (DE) (2900 and 3500kcal.kg-1) and six feeding rates (1.0%, 2.0%, 3.0%, 4.0%,5.0% of the body weight,(BW) day-1 and to satiation) for 60 days. Specific growth rate (SGR) was highest at 5.0% rati...

metal spinning as a kind of manufacturing process has capability to shape hollow components. in present work shear spinning process is used to formplates into conical shapes. moreover, the aim of this research is to demonstrate the impact of the process parameters (i.e. feeding rate and spindle speed) on wall thickness. this approachwas done by experimental and finite elements method. the resul...

control of stored-product insect by gamma radiation could be enhanced by other possible techniques such as essential oils as effective alternatives to chemical insecticides. in this study, the efficiency of gamma radiation combined with perovskia atriplicifolia (benth) was verified to assess their enhanced antifeedant effect against the tribolium castaneum (herbst). flour disc bioassay was empl...

A study was conducted to assess exclusive breast-feeding, continued breast-feeding, bottle-feeding, predominant breast-feeding, timely complementary feeding and other breast-feeding practices in 818 children in the age group of 0-3 years belonging to the Schedule Caste communities of Haryana. The exclusive breast-feeding rate was 0.15 and the predominant breast-feeding rate 0.75 in children < 4...
