Abstract This study compared the Zn response in selected tissues of weaned piglets fed L-glutamic acid, N,N-diacetic acid (GLDA), while challenged with short-term subclinical deficiency (SZD). During a total experimental period eight days, 96 were restrictively (450 g/d) high phytate (9 g/kg) diet containing added at 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 45 and 75 mg/kg without 200 GLDA. No animals showed sign...

Recent studies reported the important contribution of animal dejections as organic manure for crop production but, little is known on the decomposition rate and nutrient release pattern in wetland of the manure of pigs nourished with diet enriched with Azolla filiculoides. A litter bag study was carried out under full control during 6 weeks in pots containing 25 liters of tap water and 15g of p...

There is an inverse relation between zinc (Zn) intake and plasma prolactin in men and nonpregnant women. Whether a relation exists in lactating women is unknown, despite the potential consequences of perturbations in prolactin regulation on lactation performance. We examined the effects of low Zn intake on prolactin concentration, the prolactin regulatory pathway in the pituitary gland, and lac...

Objective(s): Populus species have various pharmacological properties, including antioxidant activity. In this study, the effects of Populus tomentiglandulosa extract (PTE) on histopathology and antioxidant enzymes in the rat liver and kidney were examined.  Materials and Methods: Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned to three groups; (1) no...

effect of l-carnitine and butyric acid on the performance and immune responses of 192 broiler chickens (ross 308) was investigated with three levels of l-carnitine (zero, 125 and 250 mg/kg) and two levels of butyric acid (2 g/kg) in a 2×3 factorial arrangement based on randomized complete block design with 6 dietary treatments, four replicates and eight birds per each. broilers fed basal diet p...

in this research, the effects of pulsing application of preservative solutions containing salicylic acid (100 and 200 mg/l) and methyl jasmonate (25 and 50 mg/l) and long period application of preservative solutions containing thymol (75 and 125 mg/l), menthol (75 and 125 mg/l) and eugenol (50 and 100 mg/l) on the maintain quality and extend vase-life of carnation cut flowers two tests were eva...

This experiment was carried out to study the effects of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) and vitamin C (VC) on growth performance and blood biochemistry in broiler chickens under heat stress conditions. One of three levels of CoQ10 (0, 20, and 40 mg/kg of diet) and one of two levels of VC (0 and 250 mg/kg of diet) were supplemented to diets of chicks (from 1-42 d of age) in a 3 × 2 factorial arrangement.
