cattle manure is made from liquid and solid waste. it contains the straw and stubble that is used for the cattle bed. density of the cattle manure is inherently low, which is difficult and costly to transport. pelleting is one method to solve this problem. the physical properties of the pelleted cattle manure was investigated in this study. the results showed that by increasing moisture content...

background patients, who survived from shotgun injuries, often have some retained lead pellets in their bodies. several cases of lead toxicity have been reported regarding these patients. objectives this study seeks to compare the serum lead level in patients who have retained lead pellets in their bodies with the control group. patients and methods in this case-control study, we gathered the s...

Feed, is the primary motivation for the cow to visit the robotic milking stall. Highly motivated cows will visit voluntarily, thereby decreasing the need to expend labor fetching cows, and they will visit more frequently and regularly, leading to higher milk production. Forced cow traffic makes it possible to use forage at the bunk to provide motivation, and while it reduces the number of fetch...

Consistent with human gambling behaviour but contrary to optimal foraging theory, pigeons showed maladaptive choice behaviour in experiment 1 by choosing an alternative that provided on average two food pellets over an alternative that provided a certain three food pellets. On 20 per cent of the trials, choice of the two-pellet alternative resulted in a stimulus that always predicted ten food p...

When Tetrahymena ciliates are cultured with Legionella pneumophila, the ciliates expel bacteria packaged in free spherical pellets. Why the ciliates expel these pellets remains unclear. Hence, we determined the optimal conditions for pellet expulsion and assessed whether pellet expulsion contributes to the maintenance of growth and the survival of ciliates. When incubated with environmental L. ...

Molting is a process commonly utilized by commercial laying facilities to extend and improve the productivity of a flock. This practice usually involves the deprivation of feed for a period of several days in order to rejuvenate the reproductive system. Due to food safety and comsumer awareness factors, alternatives to this approach are being investigated. Feeding alfalfa as an insoluble fiber ...

Food acceptance and toxic effects of feeding sodium selenite (Se) alone and in combination with monosodium glutamate (MSG), a taste enhancer were studied in the laboratory rat. Dose-dependent stimulation of daily food intake was observed with MSG offered in no-choice or bi-choice with the plain food. Consumption of pellets containing 0.05, 0.5 and 1.0% Se was significantly low than the plain or...

Dear Editor-in-Chief, The inspissated meconium pellets are a cause or effect of ileocolic obstructions. The present study aimed at explaining our experience of ultrasound-based approach for differentiation and treatment of the inspissated meconium pellets. This study was conducted at Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran, from 2017-2020...

Abstract Gasification represents a potential technology for the conversion of biomass into usable energy. The influence main gasification parameters, i.e. type used and its composition, as well composition outlet gas, were studied by multivariate statistical analysis based on principal component (PCA) partial least square (PLS) regression models in order to identify correlations between them co...
