Aim of study: Improvement barley cultivars for malting traits suffers from narrow genetic pool in these traits. Landraces are resources that could be used this purpose. The present study was conducted to determine the variation quality within a Turkish landrace. Area undertaken Tokat, province Black Sea Region Turkey. Material and methods: Twenty-five diverse lines, out 42 unique genotypes prev...

Protein and energy are the two major components of feed that influence performance of the growing and fattening lambs. Provision of the quality of protein in the lamb’s diet does not only improve the animal performance but also ensures profitable animal production. Different vegetable protein sources are used to formulate the rations for growing and fattening lambs. These protein sources differ...

Milk thistle is an important medicinal crop. In this two-year field study, the optimal form [bulk (non-structured), nanoparticles (NPs)] and concentration (0, 50, 100 mg L?1) of chitosan titanium dioxide (TiO2) applications for improving seed yield, as well mineral (N, Mg, Fe, Ti), protein, oil contents were investigated in five ecotypes. Leaf gas exchange, ratio variable to maximum fluorescenc...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate physico-chemical properties and antimicrobial potential of indigenous honey samples against different reference strains including Escherichia coli ATCC 8739, Enterobacter aerogenes ATCC 13048, Pseudomonas aeroginosa ATCC 9027, Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Salmonella typhi ATCC 14028, Klebsiella pneumonia ATCC 13883, Aspergillus niger ATCC ...

In order to study the effects of different salinity levels on turnip (Brassica rapa L.), an investigation was conducted at Yasouj University, Iran, in 2010. The effects of four salinity levels including 1.92, 9.87, 19.6 and 21.94 ds m-1 (20:1 ratio of NaCl: CaCl2 in Hoagland solution) on germination, vegetative and maturity stages of turnip (Baherghan landrace) were investigated. The results re...

the aim of this study was to estimate genetic parameters of age at first calving and its relationship with productive traits of holstein dairy cows. a total of 24491 first lactation records (2x 305d) which were collected from 1995 to 2009 were used. the general linear model (glm) procedure was applied to determine effective factors on studied traits. herd-year-season (hys) and age at first calv...

In this study, it was aimed to determine the silage quality of mistletoe (Viscum album L.) collected from wild pear (Pyrus amygdaliformis) and poplar trees (Populus canadensis) in January, July, August, December. The fresh samples were chopped 2 cm size ensiled kg plastic bags then stored at 25 ± °C conditions for 45 days. Silage investigated dry matter ratio, pH, crude protein ash condensed ta...
