A total of 200 1-week-old Japanese quails were randomly allocated into five treatment groups, each consisting 40 unsexed birds (five replicates, eight each). Quails reared in traditional cages (90 × cm), and feed water made available throughout the 5-week trial. The groups as follows: 1st was fed basal diet, whereas 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th with ration supplemented nano zinc (Zn-NPs) at doses 0.1, 0....

The objective of this experiment was to determine the effect of dietary grain on calcium homeostasis. Six rumen-fistulated dairy cows with 3 or more previous lactations and no history of parturient paresis were randomly assigned to a sequence of diets in a crossover study with 4 periods of 10 days each. Dietary treatments were: A control ration consisting of wrap grass silage alone (1), the con...

Yearling cattle (n = 25; 416.1 +/- 25.9 kg) were stratified by weight and gender across five groups. Group 1 (OAT) was offered oat/rape haylage (ORH) for ad libitum consumption during two daily feeding periods. Group 2 (SPURGE) was offered leafy spurge/grass haylage (LSGH) for ad libitum consumption during the same feeding periods. Group 3 was offered ORH in an amount equal to the average amoun...

SUMMARY Two trials involving 216 growing boars were conducted to study the effects of different levels of crude protein on daily gains, feed efficiency, feed intake and estimated carcass characteristics. The boars were fed either a 16, 18 or 20% crude protein ration from 23.8 to 55.8 kg (period 1). Upon completion of period 1, the protein level was reduced 2% for each treatment (14, 16 and 18%,...

Veterinarians increasingly play a major contributory role in dairy practice and management. Withincreasing importance of economical pressures, bioenvironmental limits and increasing demand for higherquality products, veterinarians are more involved in nutrition management and advice, both from aneconomical view of productivity and preventive aspects of veterinary medicine. The concept of food a...

Applications of the interface-selective methods of second harmonic (SHG) and sum frequency (SFG) spectroscopy to the investigation of equilibrium and time-dependent properties of interfaces are increasing at an explosive rate.1-53 Among the interfaces studied with these methods are liquid/ gas, solid/gas, and the buried liquid/liquid, liquid/solid, and solid/solid interfaces.35,36,39,41,51,53 I...

The diabetic wound healing is a common problem faced by both physicians and surgeons. The applications of nano biomaterials opened a new way to heal diabetic wounds. There were four parts in this review. First, we introduced the concept of the nano biomaterials. Second, we summarized systematically the mechanism of the nano biomaterials used for promoting wound healing. Thirdly, the application...
