This study was carried out to determine the effects of supplementing different levels (0, 0.5 and 1% of buffered rumen fluid) of methanolic extract of pomegranate peel, on rumen fermentation kinetics of four oil seed meals (soybean meal, cotton seed meal, rapeseed meal and sunflower seed meal), using in vitro gas production technique. The samples were incubated in syringes containing rumen liqu...

Dental microwear of Late Miocene artiodactyls from Afghanistan can yield information on paleodiet and thus inferences can be drawn about their paleoenvironment. The ‘‘Molayan’’ locality lies at the border between the Greek–Iranian and Siwalik bioprovinces. Knowledge of the paleoenvironment will further our understanding of the faunal exchanges between these two provinces during the Late Miocene...

An experiment was conducted to determine the relationship between nitrogen intake and testicular urea content. Twenty ram lambs of fat-tailed Iranian native breed were used in this study. The mean (±SD) age and body weight of the lambs were 180±20 days and 36.7±6.3 kg, respectively. The lambs were divided in to five groups of equal size, and received a ration containing a single protein source;...

Abstract Background Prior studies have shown that meal composition may affect the metabolic responses and arterial stiffness indices, these be different in lean obese adults. The primary objective of this study is to determine feasibility conducting a trial compare effect three test meals men. Due lack comprehensive concurrently compares vascular indices after receiving men, pilot will conducte...

the experiment was to study the effects of replacing soybean meal by rubber seed meal on growth, economics and carcass characteristics of broiler. a total of 150 day-old commercial broiler (cobb-500) was reared for a period of 35 days. there were five treatments including t0 (without rubber seed meal), t1 (10% rubber seed meal), t2 (20% rubber seed meal), and t3 (30% rubber seed meal) and t4 (4...

this experiment was performed to investigate whether feeding xylose-treated soybean meal (xsbm) or corn gluten meal (cgm) is economically better under field conditions. ninety-four multiparous early lactating holstein cows (55±5 days in milk and 2.82±0.41 body condition score) were used in a completely randomized design. cows were randomly assigned to one of two treatments: xsbm or cgm as the m...
