The study was conducted on Vencobb broiler chicks to ascertain the antistress affects of Zist, Zeetress and a combination of Amla and Turmeric during summer, rainy and winter seasons and thereby the haematological changes of birds revealed that during all the three seasons a marked improvement in Haemoglobin was encountered in all the three groups where herbal preparations were supplemented. A ...

A previous study has shown the successful application of Taguchi method in both direct and indirect perspectives to compute optimal parameters during turning Inconel x-750 alloy. The deployed signal-to-noise ratios minimize output surface roughness, tool wear cutting force but machining economic were not mentioned. Yet, techno-economic dimension aids profitable adjustments operations. To correc...

Article history: Received 6 March 2008 Received in revised form 3 July 2008 Accepted 5 July 2008 The aim of the present trial was to evaluate the effect of repeated short-time applications of Echinacea purpurea juice as feed additive to initiate an immune response. In a trial with 70 white layers (LSL) two Echinacea juices as feed additives were tested for their influence on feed intake, perfor...

Feed ingredient price has influenced nutritionists to maximize diet nutrient availability through use of exogenous enzymes. Poultry are almost exclusively fed pelleted diets that entails feed being subjected to conditions of high moisture, temperature and pressure that could partially denature added enzymes. Exogenous enzyme efficacy may be decreased or completely lost if enzymes are not able t...

the objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of weaning age on dry matter intake (dmi), average daily gain (adg), feed efficiency (fe), feed cost (fc) and benefit index (bi) of holstein calves reared under organic farming system. thirty two holstein calves were divided into two treatments: early weaning (ew) vs. late weaning (lw). calves in the both groups were provided with whole mi...

objective(s): in the current study, sunscreen and moisturizing properties of solid lipid nanoparticle (sln)-safranal formulations were evaluated. materials and methods:series of sln were prepared using glyceryl monostearate, tween 80 and different amounts of safranal by high shear homogenization, and ultrasound and high-pressure homogenization (hph) methods. sln formulations were characterized ...

Choline is essential in diets fed to most young vertebrates, but previous studies did not confirm the essentiality of choline in diets fed to tilapia. Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the essentiality of dietary choline in such diets. The basal diet used in both experiments contained 32 g crude protein/100 g diet (10.1 g crude protein from casein and gelatin, and 21.9 g from a crystal...

Doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) microemulsions were produced using a shirasu-porous-glass (SPG) membrane emulsification technique. Soybean oil was used as the oil phase; polyglycerol polyricinoleate (PGPR) or tetraglycerol polyricinoleate (TGPR) was used as the surfactant to stabilize the feed W/O emulsions, while Tween 20 was used in the external water phase to stabilize...

background and objectives: phosphorus is one of the low bioavailable macroelements. use of microorganisms in biofertilizers could release phosphorus from insoluble compounds. pseudomonas putida p13 and pantoea agglomerans p5 are well recognized for application as phosphate solubilizing bioinoculants and are used as solid carrier based. liquid bioinoculants are preferred for economizing producti...

The aims of the study were to investigate effects inclusion defatted yellow mealworm (Tenebrio molitor, YM) replacing fishmeal on pellet qualities extruded feed and growth performance largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides). Three formulations used in experimental diets, with at level (wt%): 0% (YM0), 50% (YM50) 100% (YM100), respectively. Extrusion trials showed that expansion rate porosity YM...
