little scientific information is available that has evaluated safflower (carthamus tinctorius) cake as a substitute to conventional ingredients in small ruminants diet. the objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of feeding safflower cake in total mixed rations (tmrs) on lamb and kid growth rates, carcass traits and meat fatty acid composition. two consecutive trials were conducted us...

BACKGROUND The alanine-for-threonine substitution at codon 54 (A54T polymorphism) in the fatty acid-binding protein 2 gene (FABP2) has been associated with hypertriglyceridemia and insulin resistance. Obese and diabetic T54 carriers have greater postprandial lipemia than do A54 homozygotes. The T54 protein isoform is also associated with increased triacylglycerol secretion in vitro. OBJECTIVE...

this experiment was carried out to evaluations the allopathic foliar application of safflower)carthamus tintorius) aqueous extracts on growth and leaf cell membrane leakage of hairy vetech (vicia villosa).  the experimental arrangement was crd in four replications. results showed that by increasing the concentration of safflower extracts, shoot dry weight and peroxidase enzyme activity decrease...

Damage caused by water shortages leads to physiological and biochemical changes in metabolism of plants and make them predispose to attack by pests and diseases and reduce the quality of the crops. In order to evaluate the effect of supplemental irrigation on safflower fly (A. helianthi) population of safflower cultivars, an experiment conducted as a split plot based on randomized complete bloc...

Studies were conducted to determine the effects of increased dietary levels of vitamin and trace mineral mixtures, methionine, meat and bone meal, fish meal, and safflower oil on foot pad dermatitis in dwarf and normal size Single Comb White Leghorn layers. All layers were maintained in individual wire cages throughout a 40-week experiment period. Individual birds were scored for the incidence ...
