in vitro lymphocyte responses of high responder (hr) and low responder (lr) guinea pigs from pe-ripheral blood lymphocytes (pbl) to parasite antigens soluble protein third stage larvae (spl3) and soluble protein adult stage ( spa), non-parasite antigen ovalbumin (ova) were examined. there was substantial differences between hr and lr guinea pigs in the rate of acquisition of responsiveness to t...

quality of protein fractions, according to cornell net carbohydrate and protein system (cncps), and digestibility coefficients, using tilley and terry procedure, of the fresh and ensiled amaranth (amaranthus hypochondriacus) forage were assessed. the concentration of crude protein (cp) and true protein (tp) in the fresh forage, were respectively 116 and 70 g/kg of dm. soluble protein (sp) and a...

the cornell net carbohydrate and protein system (cncps) model has recently been increasingly employed in preparation of balanced feed ration of dairy cattle in iran. however, a lack of appropriate characterization of the feeds has restricted the model's application. this study was conducted to evaluate the protein contents of some feedstuffs (wheat bran, sugar beet pulp, soybean meal, cott...

information on different rangeland plants’ nutritive values during variousphonological stages is of importance for the rangelands management. this information helpsrangeland managers to choose proper grazing times to achieve higher animal performancewith no detrimental effects on the rangeland vegetations. effects of various plant parts’phenological stages and vegetation types on reserve carboh...

background: freezing is a common way and one of the best methods of seafood preservation for long periods of time; however, the freeze thawing process may influence the quality of food. objectives: oxidation and denaturation of proteins, sublimation and recrystallization of ice crystals can cause changes in the quality of the frozen products. this study was aimed to evaluate the effect of three...

Adequate predictions of rumen-degradable protein (RDP) and rumen-undegradable protein (RUP) supplies are necessary to optimize performance while minimizing losses of excess nitrogen (N). The objectives of this study were to evaluate the original Cornell Net Carbohydrate Protein System (CNCPS) protein fractionation scheme and to develop and evaluate alternatives designed to improve its adequacy ...

expression of htlv-i p19 protein in an escherichia coli expression system always leads to the formation of inclusion body. solubilisation and refolding of the inclusion bodies is complex, time consuming and difficult during large-scale preparation. this study aimed to express and purify a soluble form of recombinant htlv-i p19 protein in an e. coli expression system. the synthetic dna encoding ...

The Cornell Net Carbohydrate and Protein System (CNCPS) has a submodel that predicts rates of feedstuff degradation in the rumen, the passage of undegraded feed to the lower gut, and the amount of ME and protein that is available to the animal. In the CNCPS, structural carbohydrate (SC) and nonstructural carbohydrate (NSC) are estimated from sequential NDF analyses of the feed. Data from the li...

The impact of three levels of sea salt (0.0, 8.0, and 16.0 mS/cm2) on six varieties of soybean (Crawford, G21, G22, G35, G82, and G83) was studied. Growth criteria, photosynthetic pigments, soluble sugars, soluble protein, free amino acids, free proline, and protein profile of soybean varieties were investigated under sea salt stress. Results of this study showed a considerable decrease in grow...
