Data from 54 hybrid (mainly Large White x Landrace) pigs (18 boars, 18 gilts, and 18 barrows) were used to quantify and mathematically describe the differential growth and development of body components of live pigs. The pigs were 32.4 +/- 3.2 kg of BW and 70 +/- 1 d of age (mean +/- SD) at the beginning of the study, were individually penned and fed ad libitum, and were weighed weekly. Compute...

The aim of the work is to study phytochemical composition and acute subacute toxicities aqueous extract leaves Vernonia colorata (AEVC). toxicity was performed by administering a single oral dose AEVC 5000 mg/kg body weight (bw) female Wistar rats. For study, treatments were administered orally for 28 consecutive days. control group received distilled water (10 bw). test groups doses 100, 500 1...

The aim of this study was to estimate genetic parameters for BW in meat quail at different ages. A total of 24,382 weight records from 3,652 quail, born between 2009 and 2011, were evaluated. Weekly BW was measured from hatch until 42 d of age. The genetic parameters were estimated by the restricted maximum likelihood method using a multivariate animal model. Heritability of BW ranged from 0.03...

Effects of cow BW, hip height, and estimated genetic potentials (EBV) for weaning weight direct and milk on cow productivity, fecal OM output, OM intake, and efficiency (kilograms of calf BW/kilogram of OM intake by the cow) were evaluated with 44 free-grazing crossbred cows under semidesert conditions. Calf BW were measured during early, mid-, and late lactation. Data were collected in four pe...

An experiment was designed to compare BW and mortality of turkeys when three methods of beak trimming were utilized. Turkeys from six genetic lines were assigned to three beak trimming methods: arc beak trimming at hatching, hot-blade block trimming at 13 d, or hot-blade top-beak-only trimming at 13 d. Beak trimming method influenced 8-wk BW of three lines of females, but did not affect female ...

To quantify the relationship between DM consumption, the ability to sustain BW per unit of DMI (BW stasis), and days to reach BW equilibrium among diverse cattle breeds, weekly individual cow BW and DMI data were recorded for mature, nonpregnant, and nonlactating cows sampled from Angus, Braunvieh, Charolais, Hereford, Gelbvieh, Limousin, Pinzgauer, Red Poll, and Simmental breeds. Within each b...

This study aims to test the effectiveness of garlic bulbs on alloxan-induced blood glucose levels in mice. The method used is an actual experimental pretest-posttest control group design. revealed that extract could reduce mice (p 0.05). most doses reduced diabetic were 6 mg/200 g BW and 12 BW. In conclusion, significantly when administered at BW.

The effects of bittern water (BW), obtained from the ocean floor, on cariogenic bacteria and saliva secretion were examined. Streptococcus mutans was mixed with BW for 1, 3, 5, 10, and 20 min to explore the bactericidal effects of BW against cariogenic bacteria. Bacterial viability was calculated by counting the number of colony-forming units on Brain Heart Infusion agar plates. The results ind...
