This study was aimed to gain knowledge on the ontogeny of digestive enzymes in common carp larvae at the governmental Warm water Fish Aquaculture Center of Shahid Rajaee in Sari, Mazandaran, Iran. The ontogenetic development of pancreatic (trypsin, chymotrypsin, lipase and α-amylase) and intestinal (alkaline phosphatase and aminopeptidase-N) enzymes were assessed in common carp larvae from firs...

Past evaluations of pesticide exposure have been conducted with substantial uncertainty regarding avian consumption of contaminated food items. One question is whether birds consume invertebrates that are killed by a chemical application and that may present an increasing chemical concentration as they desiccate. We addressed the research question in two phases. First, a laboratory study was co...

The accumulation of bacteria in Brachionus plicatilis and Artemia franciscana during a Ž . short-term incubation was quantified using immunocolony blot ICB and an enzyme-linked Ž . immunosorbent assay ELISA . Four bacterial strains, isolated from turbot and halibut, were Ž 7 y1. grazed effectively by both species when given at high concentrations G5=10 bacteria ml . B. plicatilis accumulated 21...

The use of live bacteria to induce an immune response to itself or to a carried vaccine component is an attractive vaccine strategy. Advantages of live bacterial vaccines include their mimicry of a natural infection, intrinsic adjuvant properties and their possibility to be administered orally. Derivatives of pathogenic and non-pathogenic food related bacteria are currently being evaluated as l...

conclusions in conclusion, dietary counseling of patients on hd is mandatory. interventions that consider the socio-economic situation allow delivering important messages on foods with the least amount of p and adequate protein content, and they may be a successful strategy in targeting patients at a higher risk of hyperphosphoremia. results results showed serum p level was reduced in patients ...

Probiotic foods are defined as “foods containing live microorganisms, which actively enhance health of consumers by improving the balance of microflora in the gut when ingested live in sufficient numbers” (Fuller, 1992; Shah, 2004). In terms of the growth and viability of probiotic bacteria in retail products, fermented milks are excellent vehicles for the transfer of selected strains to humans...

The effects of food quality, breed type and sex (ram and ewe) on lamb growth and carcass composition, and their changes throughout growth, were measured. The three breed types were Scottish Blackface (B; no. = 24), Suffolk (S; no. = 28) and their reciprocal crosses (X; no. 33). The lambs had free access to a nutritionally non-limiting food, H, or a bulky food, L. Each lamb was scanned using X-r...
