A 14-d broiler experiment was conducted to assess the effects of 2 dietary variables on efficacy of a bacterial 6-phytase from Citobacter braakii on nutrient and phytate P (PP) utilization. Diets were formulated with or without nutrient matrix values (matrix) for phytase as negative control (NC) or positive control (PC), respectively, and with 2 Ca:total P (tP) levels (2:1 or 2.5:1). The diets ...

Nebulized colistin (NC) is used for the treatment of pneumonia due to multidrug- resistant Gram-negative bacteria. In this one-year case-control study, our objective was to evaluate the effect of NC on the ventilator circuit (VC) components. The case group consisted of 25 mechanically-ventilated patients who received NC for the treatment of nosocomial pneumonia while the control group was 25 me...

background: despite widespread clinical uses of resin-modifi ed glass-ionomers (rmgis), their sealing ability is still a concern. this study evaluated the effect of delayed light activation (dla) of rmgi on marginal sealing in differently pretreated cavities. materials and methods: in this in vitro study, two standardized class v cavities were prepared on the buccal and lingual surfaces of 56 s...

background: microrna-155 (mir-155) is upregulated during t cell activation, but the exact mechanisms by which it influences cd4+ t cell activation remain unclear. objective: to examine whether the b and t lymphocyte attenuator (btla) is a target of mir-155 during naïve cd4+ t cell activation. methods: firefly luciferase reporter plasmids pezx-mt01-wild-type-btla and pezx-mt01-mutant-btla were c...

The present study investigated the effect of Azomite (AZO) on growth performance, nutrient utilisation, and bone mineralisation broilers fed low protein diet. A total number 180 one-day-old male chicks were randomly distributed to three treatment groups having six replicates 10 birds each. Experimental diets included; positive control (PC) with 21.5% CP (starter) 19.0% (finisher), negative (NC)...

Energy utilization in broilers as influenced by supplementation of enzymes containing phytase or carbohydrase activities was investigated. Day-old male broilers (480) were allocated to four slaughter groups, thirty broilers in the initial slaughter group and 150 broilers in each of the final slaughter groups on days 7, 14 and 21. Broilers in each of the final slaughter groups were allocated to ...

The drain current improvement in a Negative Capacitance Double Gate Tunnel Field Effect Transistor (NC-DG TFET) with the help of Heterojunction (HJ) at source-channel region is proposed and modeled this paper. gate oxide TFET stacked configuration high-k over low-k to improve control without any lattice mismatches. Tangent Line Approximation (TLA) method used here model accurately. validated by...

OBJECTIVE An experiment was conducted to determine the effect of superdosing phytase on productive performance and egg quality in laying hens. METHODS A total of 200 42-wk-old Hy-Line Brown laying hens were allotted into 1 of 5 dietary treatments with 5 replicates consisting of 8 hens per replicate. The positive control (PC) and negative control diets (NC) were prepared based on the recommend...

A total of 320 one-day-old Cobb 500 chicks with an initial weight 48.3 ± 3.3 g·pen −1 were assigned to four dietary treatments eight replicates provided in three phases for 46 d. The fed as mash diets and included (1) negative control (NC) corn-soybean basal diet, (2) positive (PC) diet 30 ppm avilamycin, (3) supplemented 1000 red-osier dogwood extracts (RDE1), (4) 3000 (RDE2). Results showed r...
