Effect of different feeding levels on water quality, growth performance, survival rate and body composition of Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei post larvae were studied in zero water exchange system. Shrimp post larvae with mean weight of 74.46± 6.17 mg were fed for 32 days in 300L fiberglass tanks containing 130L water at density of 1 post larvae L-1. There were five treatments includ...

iv therapy is an important option in incapable patients’ treatment. in this paper, we discuss about: a) for best control of them, we must know about what materials are in these drugs? b) for what reason they are use? c) what errors may be happen in use of them? amount of iv fluids must be accommodating with loss of fluids. firstly, we review amount of main body fluids. main part of our body wei...

Aloe vera gel is widely used as a functional ingredient in food processing. This gel is very unstable due to its high water activity. Drying process can be used to obtain shelf stable products. Response surface methodology was used to assess the effects of solution concentration (30-60% w/w), solution temperature (30-50°C) and immersion time (4-6h) at atmospheric pressure and constant solution ...

The impact of rehydration with glycerol on cardiovascular and thermoregulatory responses during exercise in the heat was studied in eight highly trained male cyclists. Each subject completed three dehydration-rehydration experimental trials that differed only in the rehydration treatment, each separated by 7 days. Before each experimental day, subjects dehydrated to -4% of their body weight by ...

the main aim of this research was to estimate the genetic and phenotypic parameters for productive and reproductive traits of esfahan native chickens. traits included body weights at hatch (bw1), 8 weeks of age (bw8), 12 weeks of age (bw12), and at sexual maturity (wsm)], age at sex maturity (asm), egg number (en), average egg weight (aew) in the first 12 weeks of production, and egg production...

this experiment was carried out for a period of 4 weeks with 240 day old straight- run broiler (cobb-500) chicks to investigate the effects of administering electrolytes in drinking water on the productive performance (live weight, body weight gain, feed consumption, feed conversion and water consumption) and to determine the economic impact of using electrolytes. the chicks were randomly distr...

Fingerling Guadalupe Bass Micropterus treculii were cultured in 18, 21, 24, 27, or 30◦C water for 6 weeks. Temperature affected the growth of the Guadalupe Bass when it was measured by increases in TL but not when measured by increase in mass. The optimal temperature for growth of Guadalupe Bass was 27–28◦C. Condition factor increased linearly with temperature, indicating that the fish were plu...

This investigation aimed to study polymorphism of growth hormone (GH), growth hormone receptor (GHR), and insulin like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) genes and their associations with growth and carcass traits in Mazandaran native chicken. 200 male chicks were reared and slaughtered at 12 weeks of age. Traits including live weight at 4, 8 and 12 weeks of age, body weight and weights of heart, liver, g...
