An experimental study was carried over a period of 42 days using 160 day-old commercial broiler chicks (Ven Cobb) to study the effect of copper and flavomycin as feed additives on growth performance in broiler chicken. The birds were divided into four groups with four replicates of ten chicks in each replicate. The treatment (T1) was control with standard broiler ration and Cu as CuSO4 at 100 p...

We conducted three 28-d experiments involving a total of 915 pigs to assess the relative efficacy of tribasic Cu chloride (Cu2[OH]3Cl) and Cu sulfate pentahydrate (CuSO4.5H20) in diets for weanling pigs. Experiments 1 and 2 were conducted at an experiment station (University of Kentucky), and Exp. 3 was conducted at a commercial feed company's swine research facilities (United Feeds, Inc.). The...

An experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation of copper chelates in the form of methionine, chitosan and yeast on the performance of laying hens. Four hundred ISA Brown layers, 84 wks old, were assigned to 4 treatments: control, 100 ppm Cu in methionine chelate (Met-Cu), 100 ppm Cu as chitosan chelate (Chitosan-Cu) and 100 ppm Cu as yeast chelate (Yeast-Cu). ...

scion-rootstock combination and level of salinity affect growth characteristics and concentration of nutrition elements of almond leaves and roots. in this research, effects of salinity stress were investigated on growth characteristics and nutrient concentration of almond leaves and roots by completely randomized design (crd), with two factors, genotype and water salinity with three replicatio...

background: no2 is a poisonous gas that potential to cause major threat to human being health and the environment, as a result, removing this gas from environment seems to be essential. methods: the study aimed to remove this gas from environment using iranian natural zeolite, clinoptilolite. after crushing and preparing two sizes of 1 and 2 mm zeolite they were activated in 380 to 420 ºc for 2...

The purpose of this study is to identify the enriched zones of Cu, Mo and Re in Nowchun Mo-Cu porphyry deposit (SE Iran) based on subsurface data and using of concentration–volume (C–V) fractal model. The C-V model illustrates four and five geochemical zones based on Mo and Cu distributions respectively and there are three geochemical populations for Re. The main mineralization for Mo, Cu and R...

A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the different brands of zinc fertilizer produced and marketed in different areas of Bangladesh and their effect on nutrients content in rice (BRRI dhan 32). Among the nutrients; the content of N, S and Ca in grains and straw did not vary significantly, but the contents of P, K, Na, Mg, Zn, Cu, Fe and Mn in grain and straw varied significantly due to ...

serum level of zinc, copper, β-carotene, vitamin a, and concentrations of zn and cu in hoof of 97multiparous holstein dairy cows with different locomotion scores (lss) were evaluated. simultaneously, znand cu concentrations of close up, fresh and high yielding cattle rations were 77, 94, 75 and 31, 28, 22 ppm, respectively. based on lss, despite normal serum copper levels in all three groups, w...

Traditional medicines by medicinal plants have always played a key role in world health including Iran buttheir safety profile is a major concern in this regard. In fact some factors such as the method of extraction,contamination with microorganisms, existence of heavy metals, and pesticides may reduce the safety ofherbal based pharmaceutical products. The objective of this research was to dete...
