Objective(s): A Box-Behnken design was used for evaluation of Eudragit coated diclofenac pellets. The purpose of this work was to optimize diclofenac pellets to improve the physicochemical properties using experimental design. Materials and Methods: Diclofenac was loaded onto the non-pareil beads using conventional coating pan. Film coating of pellets was done at the same pan. The effect of pla...

The aim of this trial was to study the influence of loose-mix feeding on behavior, feed intake, and BW of growing geese. In total, 252 one-day-old geese (Anser anser) were divided into 2 groups differing in the form of diet they received between 42 and 98 d of age (AMEn 11.55 MJ/kg, CP 16%): a complete pelleted diet containing 500 g of sorghum/kg (control group) or a mixture containing 500 g of...

The objective of this study was to determine the undegradable dietary protein requirements of veal calves. Two experiments were carried out with Holstein bull calves from 3-10 days of age until slaughter at 20 weeks of age. Both experiments were divided into starter and finishing periods. Calves were offered starter pellets on an ad lib. basis from seven days of age. Diets were formulated to be...

the rodents’ fauna of boundary zones of iran are still poorly known. in this research rodents fauna of khaf township in northeast of iran have been reported mainly based on pellets of birds of prey. alive samples and also rodent’s remains from pellet materials of birds of prey in the present study was collected from 46 localities in khaf, northeast of khorasanrazavi province and different speci...

objective(s) the aim of this study was to investigate the possibility of production of ibuprofen pellets with high amount of rate retarding polymer by aid of peg400 as plasticizer. materials and methods polyethylene glycol (peg400) in concentrations of 1, 3 or 5% w/w with respect to eudragit rl was used in production of pellets containing 60% ibuprofen and 40% excipient (2% polyvinylpyrrolidone...

The main objective of this study was to prepare colon-specific pellets of budesonide, using pectin as film coating. Pellet cores of budesonide were prepared by extrusion / spheronization technique. Pectin, in different ratios was combined with Eudragit RS30D, Eudragit NE30D or Surelease to produce film coating. The dissolution profiles of pectin coated pellets were investigated in pH of 1.2 (2 ...

The feeding behaviour and growth rates of Asian seabass (Lates calcarifer Bloch, 1790) fry were studied using a new type demand (NTD) feeder. This system was equipped with programme to detect hunger in fish automatically dispense pellets. system could overcome hierarchy during feeding. Fish rearing experiments conducted compare the NTD feeder infrared light (ILD) automatic timer (AT) feede...
