[ 7 ] - تغییرات سطح سرمی برخی عناصر معدنی در گاوهای هلشتاین آبستن در شهرستان بیرجند
مواد معدنی موادی ضروری هستند که در تولید مثل، رشد و متابولیسم نقش مهمی دارند. با توجه به متأثر شدن مواد معدنی از عوامل محیطی و تغذیه‌ای و تأثیر متقابل شرایط فیزیولوژیک و مواد معدنی، سنجش آن‌ها در دوره‌ی بارداری دارای اهمیت است. در این بررسی از 100 رأس گاو نژاد هلشتاین، در نواحی مختلف شهرستان بیرجند خون‌گیری به عمل آمد. تعداد 75 نمونه مربوط به دام‌های آبستن (آبستن سبک، متوسط و سنگین) و 25...
[ 8 ] - بررسی اثر اسانس های آویشن ، خارمریم و آلوئه ورا بر رشد قارچ آسپرژیلوس فلاووس و تولید آفلاتوکسین B1
زمینه و هدف: آسپرژیلوس فلاووس (Aspergillus flavus) مهم ترین قارچ تولید کننده آفلاتوکسین B1 است. این توکسین می تواند از طریق زنجیره غذایی وارد بدن انسان شده و مسمومیت ایجاد کند. این مطالعه با هدف بررسی اثر اسانس آویشن (Thymus vulgaris L.)، خارمریم (Silybum marianum L.) و صبر زرد (Aloe vera) بر رشد قارچ آسپرژیلوس فلاووس و تولید آفلاتوکسین B1 انجام شد. روش بررسی: در این مطالعه تجربی غلظت‌های صفر...
