Congress is again attempting to repeal the Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR) formula. The formula is a failed mechanism intended to constrain Medicare Part B physician spending by adjusting annual physician fee updates. Congress has averted formula-driven physician fee cuts each year beginning in 2003 by overriding the SGR, usually accompanied with last-minute disputes about how these overrides sho...

The conventional assessment of the specific growth rate (SGR) avoiding intermediary data is highly criticized by scholars as to beginning and end production cycle usually considered for measurement. To evaluate SGR, study was conducted in six concrete tanks under an outdoor laboratory shed from 10th May 29th July 2017. Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fry released at 8 fries per tank recommended...

Substitutability of broccoli by-products (BBP) for Saccharina japonica in feed on growth, carcass chemical composition, and air exposure resistance abalone (Haliotis discus) was investigated. One thousand two hundred sixty abalones were randomly assigned into 18 cages (3 cages/diet; 70 abalone/cage). Two g/kg S. included the control diet (BBP0). The BBP250, BBP500, BBP750, BBP1000 diets prepare...

In this study, the effects of oxygen supplementation in different stocking densities of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) on the specific growth rates (SGR), feed conversion ratios (FCR) and survival rates were investigated in a commercial-scale culture system. High density cultures were maintained in a total of nine (12 m3) flow-through systems supplemented with O2. Initial stocking rates fo...

We show that the recently-discovered orbits of massive stars with closest approach of ∼ 10 Schwarzschild radii from Sgr A* , allow winds from these stars to provide the required mass deposition rate near the black hole horizon. The observed luminosity of Sgr A* does not require viscous transport of angular momentum, as long as the total wind mass loss rate reaches ∼ 10M⊙ yr −1 from the close-in...

abstract this research was conducted to study the effects of different light colors on growth indices (growth rate and specific growth rate), feed conversion and survival rate in tiger barb (barbus tetazone) fish for 6 weeks. 120 fish with an average weight 75 ±0.02 were respectively divided in four groups of white, natural, green and blue colors (with three replicates for each treatment). fish...

Producing organic fish diets requires that the use of both fishmeal and fish oil (FO) be minimized and replaced by sustainable, organic sources. The purpose of the present study was to replace FO with organic oils and evaluate the effects on feed intake, feed conversion ratio (FCR), daily specific growth rate (SGR) and nutrient digestibility in diets in which fishmeal protein was partly substit...

Background: Proper feed formulation is required for successful fish farming activities. Therefore, it necessary to provide optimal growth so that the cultivation business generates profits. Currently, there very limited information about appropriate Caranx ignobilis, causing problems with its development. This study aims different protein lev...

The purpose of this research is to analyze the additional flour eucheuma spinosum on feed growth and survival goldfish. Research carried out for 40 days in Laboratorium basah, Program Studi Budidaya Perairan, Fakultas Pertanian, universitas mataram. method used experimental random complete (RAL) which includes 4 treatments 3 replacements, so total experiment 12 units. treatment that addition di...

Selenium is one of the most essential trace elements in fishes. Therefore, determining the optimal level of selenium in the fish diet is one of the main concerns of researchers. This study investigated the effects of Sel-Plex (Selenium yeast) supplement on the hematological parameters and immunological parameters, and growth performance in Siberian Sturgeon, Acipenser baerii. The Siberian Sturg...
