The freezing-thawing effect on the meat quality of whole, gutted and fillets of sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) were investigated. It was aimed to investigate the changes in the meat quality of whole, gutted and fillets of sea bass in multiple frozen (-18±2ºC) and thawed cycles in refrigerated conditions (4±2°C). The meat quality assessment of the sea bass groups (whole, gutted and fillets) sub...

five species of dominant halophyte plants including: salsola griffithii, chenopodium album, aeluropus logopoidies, alopecurus textillis and cardaria draba were sampled from sistan region at their late vegetative stage. the collected samples were dried at room temperature and ground, and their chemical components including: dry matter, organic matter, ash, crude protein, crude fat, as well as ce...

Sixteen rams (mean age: 13 mo; mean live weight: 40.0 ± 2.4 kg) were randomly allotted to four dietary treatments in a completely randomized design (4 rams per treatment). Diets (dry matter basis) contained 65% concentrate and 35% alfalfa hay (control diet, T1), 35% wheat straw (T2), 35% barley straw (T3) or 35% maize straw (T4). Total-tract apparent digestibility for dry matter, organic matter...

The apparent digestibility coefficients (ADC) of unprocessed and processed pea, canola and flax products were determined on diets, in which 30% of a reference diet was replaced by each test ingredient. Celite was used as an indigestible marker for measuring apparent digestibility coefficients indirectly. The trial was conducted in a semi-closed recirculating system using 5 tanks per diet with 4...

Blaptica dubia is a cockroach that used as feed for most reptiles and amphibians because of itnutritive value. Its alternative protein sources can replace the current high priced imported animalfeed such fishmeal, soybeans meat. It has potential an animal minimize highlivestock farming cost farmers. A study was conducted to determine nutritionalcomposition (moisture, ash, crude protein, chitin ...

acetone fractionated peroxidase from crude extract of brassica oleracea leaves (cabbage) was purified in three steps on chromatographic columns, using sp-sepharose, deae-sepharose and con a-sepharose. the specific activity of purified main isoenzyme (boc-pod) is 1887 u/mg protein with rz: 3.1, which is 172 times more than the rz of crude extract with 4.3% recovery. the molecular weight of boc-p...

background and objectives: glycoprotein 96 is the primary chaperone of the endoplasmic reticulum. immunization with it induced potent cytotoxic t lymphocyte responses to intracellular bacteria. s. typhimurium is a facultative intracellular bacterium and acquired resistance against this bacterium mainly depends on activity of cytotoxic t cells. this study aimed to evaluate the capacity of glycop...

the aim of this study was to compare the effects of two levels of crude protein using poultry by-product meals (pbpm) fed during late gestation on the performance, blood metabolites, and colostrum composition of holstein dairy cows. sixteen multiparous cows 26±6 d before expected calving were assigned randomly to two treatments containing 1) 14% and 2) 16% crude protein. the cow’s bcs was 3.56 ...

sesame oil cake (ssc) was bio-processed through solid state fermentation (ssf) under optimized conditions by a phytase-producing fish gut bacterium, bacillus subtilis subsp. subtilis (jx292128). ssf significantly reduced anti-nutritional factors (e.g., phytic acid, tannins and trypsin inhibitor) and crude fibre, while enhanced free amino acids, fatty acids and different minerals. phytase product...
