Forages and crop residues are inexpensive and easily available feedstuffs for feeding grasscutters in captivity. These feedstuffs are nutritionally poor, not balanced for optimum performance and, therefore, required supplementation. Protein requirement of growing grasscutters was determined using thirty two 10-weeks old male grasscutters of equal weights. The grasscutters were separated into fo...

The influence of the protein content of the diet on glucose concentration (denoted by fluorescence intensity) and body weight was studied in the white rat. Rats of 30d of age received ad lib. a control diet containing 15% crude protein (Pl5), or a diet containing 23% crude protein (P23) or 35% crude protein (P35) and a fourth group of rats (P8) received the 8% crude protein contained diet. Afte...

in order to study the effect of planting pattern and nitrogen application on barley and faba bean yield and quality of forage in intercropping, an experiment was conducted on farm of agricultural and natural resources faculty of gonbad kavous university as factorial based on rcbd with three replications in 2012-2013. planting pattern consisted of five levels, i.e. sole barley, intercropping of ...

Medicinal plants especially leaves are used in traditional medicine for rapid anti-viral therapy against infectious diseases. Protease, a potential candidate in medicinal plants is not so for studied in leaves. So an attempt was made to determine the protease activity of various medicinal plants especially leaves. Buffers of different pH range were used for extraction of the leaves to identify ...

nitrogen and phosphorus are two necessary macronutrients for plant growth and yield. these two elements now will be added to soil by chemical fertilizers. this research has been carried out based on randomized completely block design with three replications at markazi provience agricultural research station, iran, during growing season of 2004-2005 to evaluate the effects of azotobacter chrooco...
