the effect of feeding frequency on growth performance, feed consumption and body biochemical composition of acipenser ruthenus juveniles was investigated. the trial was performed using 150 fish with a mean initial weight of 50±1 g randomly introduced in fifteen tanks. fishes were fed at a feeding frequency of twice daily (t1), three times a day (t2), four times a day (t3), five times a day (t4)...

the present study was aimed to evaluate the beneficial effect of cystone syrup in an experimental model of glycerol-induced acute renal failure (arf) in rats. biochemical parameters, kidney weight and histopathological evaluation were performed to conclude the beneficial effect of cystone syrup. administration of single dose of 50% v/v glycerol (8ml/kg.i.m) caused severe renal dysfunction assoc...

background: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd) is considered a major public health problem in the world. weight loss, muscle and fat mass depletion are common nutritional problems in copd patients and are determinant factors in pul­monary function, health status, disability and mortality. in the present study, we assessed nutritional status in copd pa­tients. methods: this cross-secti...

mycoplasma ovipneumoniae is an important respiratory pathogen of sheep across the world. in the present study nasal swab samples (n=778) were processed and 51isolates of m. ovipneumoniae were identified through biochemical tests and pcr. difference in the isolation rate among districts (n=12), age groups (n=3), breads (n=6) was assessed. similarly the isolate rate among healthy (n=513) and resp...
