six hundred 1-d-old male broilers (ross 308) were assigned to four experimental groups; each was composed of 5 floor pen replications of 30 birds including control (no enalapril), 15, 30 and 60 ppm enalapril in the drinking water. from d 21 to 49, all the chicks were exposed to low ambient temperature to induce ascites. mortalities were inspected to determine the cause of death and diagnose of ...

People are more sensitive to losses than to equivalent gains when making financial decisions. We used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to illuminate how the amygdala contributes to loss aversion. The blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) response of the amygdala was mapped while healthy individuals were responding to 50/50 gambles with varying potential gain and loss amounts. Overall,...

  Apparent digestibility coefficients (ADC) were calculated by using chromic oxide in the diet as an indigestible marker to evaluate the Iranian Cottonseed meal (CSMP) . Then, the nutritional value of cottonseed meal ( ‍ CSM) as soybean meal (SBM) substitute in quality low cost rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) ration was investigated. In this study, six formulated feeds consisting different ...

This paper describes the radiation characteristics of crank-line antennas radiating a circularly polarized wave. First, the radiation efficiency versus substrate permittivity is evaluated. Second, a 12-cell crank-line antenna of substrate permittivity "r = 1 and antenna height B = 11:85=8 is investigated as a reference antenna, where 11:85 is the wavelength at a frequency of 11.85 GHz. It is fo...

this study was conducted to investigate the effects of different levels of soybean lecithin on performance and blood lipids of broiler chicks. a total of 180 one day old ross 308 broiler chicks were used in a completely randomized design with nine treatments (diets with 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1, 1.2, 1.4 and 1.6 percent of soybean lecithin) and four replicates for 47 days-rearing period. in ord...

this study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary nigella sativa meal (nsm) on the growth performance, blood parameters, carcass characteristics, egg yolk cholesterol and meat quality in japanese quail. for this purpose 300 one-day old japanese quail chicks in a completely randomized design was used with five treatments in four replicates )containing 15 birds each(. the experimenta...

this study was conducted to investigate the effect of0 (control), 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 ml/l of shirazi thyme aqueous extract in drinking water on performance and immune response in broilers. two hundred one- day- old broiler chicks (ross 308) were allocated to five treatments with four replicates and 10 birds per cage in a completely randomized design. daily feed intake, daily body weight gain and...

the effects of different levels (0, 10, 20 and 30 percentage of dry matter) of apple pomace ensiled with urea were investigated on 24 ghezel male lambs in a completely randomized design with four treatments and six replicates. the average starting weight and age of the lambs were 31.27 ± 7.40 and 187 ± 37 days, respectively. after 15 days of adaptation, the lambs were individually fed with expe...

the effect of a commercial probiotic (protexin) on growth performance and survival rate in sobaity sparidentex hasta was investigated. 240 fish with average weight of 2.99±0.87g were treated for 10 weeks. this study was carried out in a completely random design with 12 experimental groups, in 4 treatments each with 3 replicates. experimental groups were consisted of four levels of 0.0, 0.5, 1.0...
