this study was undertaken to identify morphological changes in young seedlings of 5 iranian almond species (prunus dulcis, p. eburnea, p. eleagnifolia, p. haussknechti, and p. scoparia) under polyethylene glycol-induced drought stress. drought stress caused a significant reduction in plant growth parameters such as fresh and dry weights of plant organs, leaf number, total leaf area, and leaf re...

in current study, a few sheep cystic livers and lungs were obtained from mashhad slaughter house and protoscolex were separated aseptically. thirty 6-week-old swiss mice were divided into 5 groups and two thousands of live protoscolices were inoculated intrapritoaneally in each mouse. in group 1 and 2 (prophylactic groups), mice were given 150 mg/kg of oral albendazole and mebendazole for 10 da...

The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of various pectin to cellules ratios on carcass characteristics and visceral organs of broiler chickens. A total of 400 chickens were allocated to 4 treatments, 4 replications and 25 chickens in each at a completely randomize design. Treatments were consisted of control (treatment 1) or diets containing different pectin: cellulose ratio...

Three-hundred and twenty 7-day-old Ross 308-strain broiler chickens were fed diets containing 0 or 125 ppb aflatoxin B 1 (AFB1) from 7 to 28 days of age. Sodium bentonite (0.5%), yeast (Saccharomyces cervisiae) 0.2%, hydrated sodium calcium aluminosilicate (HSCAS) (0.5%), ammonia (0.5%), formycine (0.1%), and toxiban (0.1%) were added to the basal diet, as fed basis to determine the effects of ...

Organ weight is one important indicator to discern normal from abnormal condition in forensic pathology as well as in clinical medicine. The present study aimed to investigate morphometric parameters and organ weights of southern Iranian adults, which can be fundamental sources to be compared to abnormal cases.Morphometric parameters and weights of 6 organs (heart, liver, kidney, spleen, append...
