A biological experiment of six weeks duration, followed by several laboratory investigations were carried out to study the effect of designer layer mash (DLM) containing full fat flaxseed, oil rich sardine fish, Holy Basil leaf meal (BLM), vitamin E and Organic selenium (Sel-plex), on haematology of layers. Both designer diet and BLM had significant effect on haematology of layers. They also ex...

The consumption of fish provides utilization of proteins of high biological value, certain minerals, and vitamins. Additionally, fish and fish oil are rich sources of omega-3 fatty acids. Sardine (Sardina pilchardus) and salmon (Salmo salar) are fish species rich in omega-3 PUFAs. On the other hand, fish is usually cooked in different ways before consumption and heat treatment can lead to undes...

The annual alteration of gonad morphology in sardine (Sardina pilchardus, Walbaum 1792) caught in the period from November 2006 to October 2007 using beach seines in the region of Boka Kotorska Bay (Montenegro, southern Adriatic) was studied. Samples were taken in the middle of each month. Total length of individuals ranged from 8.7 to 14.7 cm and weight ranged from 4.67 to 22.61 g. Their gonad...

Various studies in poultry nutrition have indicated that certain diets based on vegetable products are deficient in a hatchability-promoting or growth-promoting factor which is associated with certain animal protein materials (l-4). Hammond and Titus (5) studied the effect of a diet of corn, soy bean meal, alfalfa meal, butyl fermentation residues, minerals, and vitamin Ds on chicks and found t...

Several studies on the white sardine: Sardinella albella, have focused on the identification of stock composition and behavior. In this study population genetic structure and historical demography of S. albella along the cost of the Persian Gulf and Sea of Oman were investigated with a 500-bp segment of mt-DNA control region. In total 40 samples were collected from 3 locations: Jask in Sea of O...
