In an experiment to determine the effects of feed-borne fusarium mycotoxins on metabolism and reproduction in first parity gilts, a total of 36 first parity Yorkshire gilts (3 diets with 12 gilts per diet) were housed in individual stalls for 21 days before farrowing and 21 days after farrowing in the first experiment and a total of 32 first parity gilts (4 diets with 8 gilts per diet) were use...

Previous practice tips included fact sheets on acidifi ers and antibiotics in the September-October issue (J Swine Health Prod. 2009;17:270–275); on carcass modifi ers, carbohydrate-degrading enzymes, and proteases, and...

Abstract Mycotoxins are generally found in food, feed, dairy products, and beverages, subsequently presenting serious human animal health problems. Not surprisingly, mycotoxin contamination has been a worldwide concern for many research studies. In this regard, biological, chemical, physical approaches were investigated to reduce and/or remove from food feed products. Biological detoxification ...

binders are of prime importance in the agglomeration of iron ore concentrates. in this research, strength and density of briquette produced from the magnetite concentrate of gol-e-gohar were investigated using different binders at various applied pressures. the results showed that peridor was the most effective binder relative to bentonite and lime. for all types of binders, the increase in bin...

zearalenone (zea) mycotoxin is a potent estrogenic metabolite. it is the primary toxin causing infertility, abortion or other breeding problems. a hplc method was validated for zea in foods using a monolithic column with sample clean-up on an immunoaffinity column. a certified reference material (crm) from fapas (uk) was analyzed. a survey of zea was performed on the 72 samples of rice, bread, ...
