in the present study, fungal contaminations of trout feed were examined with special attention of potentially mycotoxigenic fungi. the feed samples were obtained from a factory and 6 farms. sampling was done on final pellets and their ingredients including wheat, wheat flour, soya, fish powder, gluten and starch in the factory and in the farm according to the instruction of institute of standar...

predatory birds feed mainly on small mammals. they usually swallow their prey and after digesting, the indigestible fur, bones and teeth are regurgitated as compact pellets. the investigation of pellet is an extremely valuable tool for mammalogists. in this study 351 pellets have been collected from the localities including north of khorasan, zanjan, yazd, chahar mahal va bakhtiyari and mazanda...

Cilia were isolated from Tetrahymena pyriformis by a glycerol method. The addition of low concentrations of ATP, but not of other nucleoside triphosphates, caused an increase of up to twofold in the amount of cilia pelleted in a low-speed centrifugation assay and decreased the density of the pellets compared to control pellets. Pellet size and density depend on pH, both in the absence and in th...

The aim of this study was to determine the effects pasture (cocksfoot cv. porto (CFP) and lucerne) supplementation grazing lambs with pellets or without plant oil infusion on performance carcass characteristics. Forty-eight White Suffolk x Corriedale first-cross weaners were randomly assigned one four treatments in a split-plot experimental design: (1) CFP lucerne pastures only (control); suppl...

The alkaline-lysis mini-preparation method of isolating plasmid DNA includes several time-consuming steps. Here we provide a shortened protocol in which the volumes and incubation times have been altered (in particular the ethanol precipitation step) and the phenol extraction and RNAse digestion omitted completely. Recently a mini-prep method has been published requiring the use of caesium chlo...

White Snapper (Lates Calcarifer) has a fairly complete nutritional content, is favored by the community and high economic value. The success of white snapper cultivation determined availability feed during maintenance. This study aims to analyze use gold snails as substitute for pellet on growth survival snapper, feeding snails, pellets combination both. research took place from July November 2...

A total of 695 barrows (DNA Line 200 × 400; initially 12.9 lb) were used in two groups a 28-d study to evaluate the effects added dietary calcium carbonate on phase 1 nursery pig growth performance and fecal dry matter. Upon arrival research facility, pigs randomly assigned pens (5 per pen) allotted 5 treatments with 27 or 28 treatment. Dietary formulated provide 0, 0.45, 0.90, 1.35, 1.80% at e...

the purpose of this experiment was to investigate the effect of metabolizable energy (me) levels, feed restriction (fr) intensity and duration in pelleted diet on performance, blood parameters and carcass characteristics in broiler chickens. a total of 480 male ross 308 broilers were used in a 2×2×3 factorial arrangement with 12 treatments and 4 replicates. experimental treatments included: two...

Owls feed mainly on rodents, which may harbour a diverse set of pathogen species. Their pellets often contain undigested body parts of the prey that may also contain viable rodent pathogens. Therefore, avoiding pellets may serve to reduce pathogen transmission in rodents. Alternatively, rodents may also avoid pellets as a form of predator avoidance, since pellets are likely to indicate owl pres...
