the objectives of the study were to evaluate the effects of sabara leaf meal on growth performance, nutrient digestibility and haematological parameters of red sokoto goats. bucks were managed in a complete randomized design with 4 treatments and 3 replicates. the sabara leaf meal (slm) was fed at concentration of 0, 10, 20 and 30% in treatment 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively. the experimental diets...

The effect of ethanol feeding on ovarian function and structure in female rats was studied in alcohol-fed animals, isocalorically fed controls, and two ad libitum-fed control groups. Ovarian weight was reduced by 60% in alcohol-fed animals compared with the control groups. Gross disruption of ovarian architecture was noted, characterized by the absence of any corpus hemorrhagicum and corpus alb...

forty-two weaned lori-bakhtiari lambs were taken in an investigation for the effects of two-nutritional management methods of restricted vs. re-alimentation feeding on intake, growth and as well on the cost benefit analysis. during the feed restriction period (frp), the control (c) animals were fed low-quality roughage ad libitum, plus mixed concentrate. the restricted animals (r) were fed only...

in order to study the effect of dietary physical form on the fattening performance of holstein male calves, an experiment was conducted in animal science research institute of iran in 2011. the experimental diets were formulated and prepared with two physical forms including total mixed ration (tmr) and densified complete feed block (dcfb). in a completely randomized block design, with two trea...

COHN, CLARENCE AND DOROTHY JOSEPH. Changes in body comflosition attendant on force feeding. Am. J. Physiol. I g6 (5) : g65-968. 1g5g.-Normal young adult male rats were either forcefed or allowed to eat ad libitum a moderate carbohydrate diet for 3-4 weeks. The force-fed animals were given either the amount of diet consumed by the animals eating ad libitum (pair-fed) or 80% of this amount (under...

BACKGROUND Alone among autonomic neurones, enteric neurones are known to be vulnerable to age related cell death; over 50% may be lost in aging rodents. A previous study demonstrated unexpectedly that neurones of the myenteric plexus from rats fed a restricted diet appeared not to suffer from extensive cell death in contrast with previous studies of ad libitum fed animals. AIMS To compare mye...

To investigate whether dietary fat source and energy restriction interactively influence plasma leptin levels and its association of leptin with insulin action, rats were fed diets containing either fish, safflower oil, or beef tallow (20% wt/wt) for 10 weeks. Groups of rats consumed each diet ad libitum or at 85% or 70% of ad libitum energy intake in a design that held fat intake constant. Gra...

A number of metabolic factors and the activity of a number of enzymes were determined in meal-fed (animals fed a single daily 2 hr meal) and nibbling (ad libitum-fed) rats. The dependency of the observed adaptive changes on the ingestion of carbohydrate was studied by feeding diets high in carbohydrate or fat. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and NADP-malic dehydrogenase were more active in ad...
