The influence of the protein content of the diet on glucose concentration (denoted by fluorescence intensity) and body weight was studied in the white rat. Rats of 30d of age received ad lib. a control diet containing 15% crude protein (Pl5), or a diet containing 23% crude protein (P23) or 35% crude protein (P35) and a fourth group of rats (P8) received the 8% crude protein contained diet. Afte...

nitrogen and phosphorus are two necessary macronutrients for plant growth and yield. these two elements now will be added to soil by chemical fertilizers. this research has been carried out based on randomized completely block design with three replications at markazi provience agricultural research station, iran, during growing season of 2004-2005 to evaluate the effects of azotobacter chrooco...

the effect of grape pomace (vitis vinifera) and in oak leaf (quercus libani) tannins by three runs of in vitro gas production on the organic matter digestibility (omd) and in situ dry matter (dm) and crude protein (cp) disappearance were studied in four sheeps. polyethylene glycol (peg) was used to deactivate the tannins. in vitro gas production was recorded at 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 48, 72, 96 and 12...

Amaranth leaves and seeds are highly nutritious, but less is clearly known for the varieties grown in Tanzania. Grains, (dry fresh) flower part of amaranth were analyzed minerals (iron, zinc, copper manganese), proximate (crude protein, crude fat, fibre carbohydrate) anti-nutrients (nitrate oxalate) content. Minerals significantly higher (p<0.05) fresh leafy performing 75.89 mg/100 g, 3.284 ...

The nutritive value of pistachio epicarp (PE) was evaluated by in situ and in vitro techniques. Chemical analysis indicated that PE was high in crude protein (11.30%) and low in neutral detergent fiber (26.20%). Total phenols, total tannins, condensed tannins and hydrolysable tannins contents in PE were 8.29%, 4.48%, 0.49% and 3.79%, respectively. Ruminal dry matter and crude ...

Adenosine (1 microM) was incubated in the presence of dialyzed crude tissue extract from mouse liver and its degradation determined. At high concentration of tissue extract, a fraction of adenosine was not metabolized. This phenomenon, termed sequestration of adenosine, was shown to be affected in the same way by the same factors (pH, salt, reducing agent and adenine) as those affecting the pro...

to evaluate the yield and quality of barley (hordeum vulgare)–vetch (vicia desycarpa) intercropping, a series of experiments were conducted at the experimental field of the college of agriculture, university of tehran, in karaj (iran) from 2003 to 2005. the ex-periments were arranged in a randomized complete block with a split plot design and four replications. three levels (0, 45 and 90 kg n h...

to investigate the relationship between chemical composition of meat from the carcass cuts and thewhole carcass, 48 nine-month-old randomly selected ram lambs of ghezel and mehraban (24 rams per breed)were used in a trial arranged as a 2 × 2 factorial experiment with two breeds and two feeding levels (high andlow), in a completely randomized design. after 80 days, all animals were slaughtered a...
