Biomass of Kluyveromyces marxianus was used to prepare feed formulations for ornamental fish-black mollies (Poecilia latipinna). The cytotoxicity of the fungal biomass was studied using 3T3 cell lines. Three different formulations of the biomass were used in the feeding trial. Formulation I was prepared as 100% dry cells, formulation II was prepared as 50% dry cells+50%starch and Formulation II...

We discuss the possibilities for the direct detection of neutralino dark matter via elastic scattering in variants of the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (MSSM) with non-universal supersymmetry-breaking contributions to the Higgs masses, which may be either equal (NUHM1) or independent (NUHM2). We compare the ranges found in the NUHM1 and NUHM2 with that found in the MSSM...

Global consumption of poultry products, especially poultry meat, has consistently increased over the years, and this trend is expected to continue. Much of the increase in global demand for poultry products will be in developing countries. Such growth in the poultry industry is having a profound effect on the demand for feed and raw materials. However, it is also becoming clear that the require...

The purpose of this review is to present information about raw materials that can be used in pig and poultry diets and the factors responsible for variations in their mycotoxin contents. The levels of mycotoxins in pig and poultry feeds are calculated based on mycotoxin contamination levels of the raw materials with different diet formulations, to highlight the important role the stage of produ...

Aquaculture is a rapidly growing global industry, comprising cultivation of various freshwater and marine species of finfish, shellfish, molluscs, and ornamental fish. By the year 2000, as much as 20% of the world production of fish will be based on aquaculture. Properly formulated feeds are a significant part of successful aquaculture. Carotenoids play a major role in culture of salmonids such...

The efficacy of top-dress antiinflammatory drugs ultimately depends on a patient's willingness to consume treated feed. The current study compares the palatability of two phenylbutazone top-dress formulations (Equipalazone Powder, Dechra Pharmaceuticals, and Pro-Dynam, VetXX, Ltd.) and a suxibuzone top-dress formulation (Danilon Equidos, Janssen Animal Health). Results of a three-period, crosso...

The principal features of two mathematical models that can be used to study non-linear oscillations of a workpiece – tool system during a milling operation are presented and explained in this article. These models are non-linear, non-homogeneous, delay-differential systems with time-periodic coefficients. In the treatment presented here, the sources of non-linearities are the multiple regenerat...

This paper applies a mixed integer programming model for joint lot sizing and scheduling to a plant for animal feed compounds. A key characteristic of this industry is that certain products can perform a production line cleaning function if a sufficiently large lot is produced between two products that would otherwise require a cleaning setup. Thus the sequence-dependent setup times do not alwa...
