the effects of different dietary levels of soybean oil (2, 4 and 6%) and probiotic primalac (0, 0.1 and 0.15 %) were investigated on performance and immune system of broiler chickens from day one to day 42 of age. for this purpose, five hundred and forty day-old male broiler chicks (cobb) in 9 groups of 60 each were used. the birds of each group were divided into 6 pens of 10 birds. the experim...

in order to evaluate physiological and morphological characteristics and yield of soybean (glycine max l.) cultivars under different planting ratios a field experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design with four replications at the gaem shahr agricultural research centre of mazandran province, iran, during 2008. two soybean cultivars (032 and sari) were planted in row inte...

background: soybean oil is one of the highly consumed vegetable oil worldwide. nowadays, usage of genetically modified (gm) soybean seeds for soybean oil production is constantly increasing. the recommended methods for gmo detection are based on analysis of residual dna in vegetable oil and highly processed food. however, the successful amplification of isolated dna depends on the efficiency of...

The soybean cyst nematode (SCN), Heterodera glycines, is the most damaging pathogen of soybean. Methods to phenotype soybean varieties for resistance to SCN are currently very laborious and time consuming. Streamlining a portion of this phenotyping process could increase productivity and accuracy. Here we report an automated method to count SCN females using a fluorescence-based imaging system ...

BACKGROUND Symptomatic slow-acting drugs (SYSADOA) have been largely studied over the last decade. The objective of this study is to prepare a document providing recommendations for the use of SYSADOA in osteoarthritis (OA). METHODS The following interventions were taken into consideration: avocado/soybean unsaponifiables, chondroitin sulfate, diacereine, glucosamine sulfate, hyaluronic acid,...

Ternary blends of poly(lactic acid) (PLA), poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) and poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) with a constant weight percentage of 60%, 10% and 30% respectively were compatibilized with soybean oil derivatives epoxidized soybean oil (ESO), maleinized soybean oil (MSO) and acrylated epoxidized soybean oil (AESO). The potential compatibilization effects of the soybean oil-derivatives wa...

A 4-year systematic survey for the presence of soybean cyst nematode Heterodera glycines in Ohio soybean fields was initiated in 1992. A total of 667 soybean fields in 63 counties was sampled. Heterodera glycines was present in 91 fields in 40 counties based on soil samples collected, and in one field in each of three additional counties based on soil samples submitted to the Plant and Pest Dia...

This study was aimed at quantifying soybean (Glycine max) nitrogen fixation under reduced tillage (RT) and conventional tillage (CT) in a tropical Ferralsol of the sub-humid zone of western Kenya, using the isotope N dilution method. Crop residue (CR) management was a superimposed treatment in soybean-maize rotation and intercropping systems. This study quantified N in abscised soybean leaves. ...
