fifty six holstein lactating cows (71 days in milk; 35 kg/day milk production) were employed in a complete block randomized design of repeated measurements. cows were randomly allocated to two treatments based on their parity. cows in group 1 were fed a balanced total mixed ration (600 g concentrate /kg dm and 400 g forages /kg dm) with 50 g rumen protected methionine (rpm) per head per day (me...

this study was conducted to determine the concentrations of metals (zn, cu, pb, cd and hg) in two commercial fish species of the persian gulf (coast of bushehr province in iran), as well as in the sea waters. the concentrations of metals were determined by using differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (dpasv). two selected species were narrow-barred spanish mackerel and tiger tooth croa...

key dissimilarities between thermophilic and mesophilic anaerobic digestion of waste activated sludge (was) were experimentally studied in this research. typical was with total solids (ts) concentrations of 30 and 60 g/l were digested anaerobically in a batch digester at mesophilic and thermophilic temperatures. solids reduction, total cod changes, the production of different volatile fatty ...

the effect of three levels (0, 28.65, 57.31mg /200mg substrate) of golpar (heracleum persicum: hp) on in vitro rumen ecosystem and on methane production was assessed. gas production (gp) was recorded from 1 to 54h past of incubation. the parameters studied were in vitro gas production (ivgp), methane production, ammonia-n concentration (nh3-n), in vitro organic matter degradability (ivomde), pa...

brassica napus l. and sinapis alba l. are two cruciferous species for which some medicinal uses are mentioned in the iranian, indian and chinese traditional medicine. seed oil of  b. napus has cathartic action, and is either used as such or after partial hydrogenation for cooking, shortening or as margarines. sees of s. alba have also cathartic action and some other medicinal uses but, because ...

abstract             the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of ajowan essential oils (aeo) on rumen fermentation using in vitro gas production. therefore, different doses of aeo (i.e., 0, 150, 300, 450 or 600 ppm) were added to the syringes of the gas production. a typical diet of growing lambs was used as fermentation substrate.  at the first step, the gas production syringes were in...
