A total of 225 day-old broiler chicks (43.08 g initial body weight) were allotted to three dietary treatments for a 6week feeding trial. The treatments were 1) Control (defatted rice bran; DFRB), 2) fresh rice bran (FRB) and 3) rancid rice bran (RRB). Rice brans were intentionally spoiled by two degrees of rancidity by the values of free fatty acids (FFA): 7.6% (FRB) and 16.3% (RRB). Diets were...

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of different levels of dried lemon pulp (DLP) on performance, carcass traits, blood biochemical and immunity parameters of broilers. In this experiment 240 of broilers (Ross-308) were used in a completely randomized design with 4 treatments and 3 replicates (with 20 birds in each replicate) from 1 to 42 days. Experimental diets included: 1) ...

in order to surveying the effect of feeding propolis on performance, feed intake and digestibility in holstein suckling calves, the experiment was designed in a completely randomized design with 4 treatments (diet) and 10 replicates (cattle) during 52 days. treatments included: 1. control (without monensin in starter and without propolis in milk); 2. starter without monensin and 500 ppm soluble...

This research was conducted to compare the effects of two medicinal plants (peppermint and aloe vera) and antibiotic growth promoter on ileum microflora population and growth performance of broiler chickens. In this experiment, 375 one-day old male broiler chickens (Ross 308) were used on a completely randomized design with 5 dietary treatments which were replicated 5 times with 15 birds per re...

the objectives of this paper were production of probiotic yoghurt using l. paracasei ssp. tolerans, and evaluation of ph changes, viable counts, and organoleptic properties of the produced yoghurt. it was observed that the ph decrease during the fermentation period was faster in the milk inoculated with l. paracasei ssp. tolerans plus starter culture. there was a gradual decrease in ph in both ...

Migrating neuronal growth cones exert traction forces that are generated by ATP-driven F-actin/myosin interactions. Sustained generation of these forces may require an energy supply mediated by the guanidino kinases, creatine kinase and arginine kinase. We cloned and sequenced grasshopper arginine kinase and examined its expression during embryogenesis and its subcellular localization in vivo a...

Recognized to confer health benefits to consumers, probiotics such as Lactobacillus acidophilus are commonly incorporated into fermented dairy products worldwide; among which yogurt is a popular delivery vehicle. To materialize most of the putative health benefits associated with probiotics, an adequate amount of viable cells must be delivered at the time of consumption. However, the loss in th...

in the present work, the effect of milk supplementation on viability of yogurt bacteria (streptococcus thermophilus and lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus) and probiotic bacteria (lactobacillus acidophilus and bifidobacteria) was studied during yogurt manufacture and thirty three days storage. incubation time to reach ph value of 4.5 was greatly affected by the addition of casein fract...
