An experiment was conducted to determine the distribution of nitrogen-15 in tissues of laying hens receiving different levels of N-CCC in diets. Twenty brown laying hens were divided into four groups and randomly assigned into one of four dietary treatment groups consisting of 0, 5, 50 and 100 ppm N-CCC inclusion. The hens were individually fed with the N-CCC diets in battery cages for 11 days ...

tetracyclines (tcs) are broad-spectrum antibiotics that are used widely in veterinary medicine. the present study was carried out to trace the residues of oxytetracycline (otc) and tetracycline (tc) in pasteurized milk that is marketed in tehran with the use of a high performance liquid chromatography (hplc). ninety milk samples were collected during five sequential days from the products of si...

Introduction. Advances in storage techniques of erythrocyte concentrates have contributed to develop significant erythrocyte morphologic abnormalities which have been associated with greater damage in the microcirculation, multiple organ dysfunction and increased morbidity and mortality. Objective. To evaluate the changes in erythrocyte morphology related to storage time. Material and methods. ...

results the ovarian hormones level showed a significant difference between the experimental and control groups (p < 0.05). furthermore, the unk cell population showed a significant difference between the two groups (p < 0.05). conclusions increased ovarian hormones due to low-dose aspirin administration resulted in decline in the unk cells number, which may be effective in successful pregnancy....
