The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of a probiotic containing Bacillus cereus var. Toyoi spores (Toyocerin) and benzoic acid (VevoVitall) on growth performance and diarrhoea in weaning pigs, against negative controls. The trial groups were as follows: (a) NC group (Negative Controls): No treatment (b) TOYO group: Same feed as in the controls plus Toyocerin at a dose of 1 x 10(9...

Cyproconazole, a triazole fungicide, causes hepatocellular adenomas and carcinomas in CD-1 mice at dose levels of 100 and 200 ppm. The constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) has been shown to play a significant role in the overall mode of action for several nongenotoxic rodent carcinogens such as phenobarbital. The liver effects of dietary cyproconazole or phenobarbital were investigated after ...

this study was conducted to investigate the effect of different levels of savory (satureja hortensis) powder and its essential oil on performance and antioxidant status of broiler chickens under heat stress (34±2 ˚c for 8 hours per day). a total of 336 one-day-old male broiler chicks (ross-308) were divided into 6 treatments and 4 replications (14 birds per replicate). experimental diets were a...

Abstract. An appropriate representation of point source emissions in atmospheric transport models is very challenging. In the Stochastic Time-Inverted Lagrangian Transport model (STILT), all are typically released from surface, meaning that actual emission stack height plus subsequent plume rise not considered. This can lead to erroneous predictions trace gas concentrations, especially during n...

BACKGROUND Despite considerable controversy over the inclusion of sucrose in the diets of people with diabetes, the acute metabolism of sucrose is not completely understood. OBJECTIVE Our objective was to investigate the metabolism of the monomeric constituents of sucrose after a high-sucrose meal. DESIGN Three test meals were consumed in a randomized, crossover design by 7 healthy male vol...

To test possible dietary immune modulators, 32 crossbred male pigs were given 1 of 4 dietary treatments (8 pigs/treatment): control, Saccharomyces cerevisiae with β-glucan (Energy Plus, Natural Chem Industries LTD, Houston, TX; 0.312 g/kg of BW, 2.5% of diet), vitamin C (Stay C 35, DSM Nutritional Products Inc., Prisippany, NJ; 75 ppm), or β-glucan plus vitamin C together (combination; 0.312 g/...

The great economic importance of sugar beet determines the ongoing biotechnological studies conducted worldwide to improve technology obtaining doubled haploids (DHs) using method unpollinated ovule culture in vitro. To induction gynogenesis, we tested effect thidiazuron (TDZ), temperature bud pretreatment, different concentrations sucrose, and culturing on liquid or solid medium. Three genotyp...

Background: Natural surfactant combined with beclomethasone decreases pulmonary oxidative stress in preterm lambs with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). Objectives: To test the hypothesis that this occurs through a decrease in pulmonary inflammation. Methods: Preterm lambs received 200 mg/kg of natural surfactant or 200 mg/kg of natural surfactant combined with 400 or 800 g/kg of beclomethas...

1-Bromopropane has been newly introduced as an alternative to ozone-depleting solvents. We aimed to clarify its dose-dependent reproductive toxicity in male rats. Thirty-six Wistar male rats were randomly divided into 4 groups of 9. The groups were exposed to 200, 400, or 800 ppm 1-bromopropane or only fresh air, 8 h per day for 12 weeks. Epididymal sperm indices were evaluated after a 12-week ...
