Two studies were conducted to evaluate sorting and feeding Zilpaterol hydrochloride (ZH) on feedlot performance and carcass characteristics. Cross-bred beef steers were used in a randomized block design finishing trial. In Exp. 1, (initial BW 342 ± 10 kg, n = 1,000) 5 treatments included an unsorted non-ZH fed negative control (CON), unsorted ZH fed positive control (+CON); and three treatments...

In the present study, fifteen growing pigs were used to determine the whole-body oxidation, retention efficiency (RE) and apparent conversion (AC) of α-linolenic acid (18 : 3n-3) to n-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA), including EPA (20 : 5n-3) and DHA (22 : 6n-3). The pigs were fed a diet containing 10% flaxseed for 30 d. Whole-body fatty acid composition was determined at initial (27.7 ...

Studies were conducted on dogs to test the efficacy of cyclosporin A (CyA) in prolonging normoglycaemia and graft survival after whole-organ pancreas allograft transplantation. Five dogs subjected to pancreatectomy alone served as controls. Withholding immunosuppression after transplantation (five animals) resulted in the same median duration of survival as occurred in the controls (13 days). A...

In the present diet conscious era, mushrooms are increasingly considered as a future vegetable, thus to sustain productivity and enhance yield, experiment was conducted at Mushroom Production Technology unit Bihar Agricultural University, Sabour, Bhagalpur during November 2019- February 2020.White button mushrooms, Agaricus bisporus (Lange) Sing. were cultivated using different techniques of sp...

Talc pleurodesis has been associated with pleuropulmonary damage, particularly long-term damage due to its inert nature. The present model series review aimed to assess the safety of this procedure by examining inflammatory stimulus, biocompatibility and tissue reaction following talc pleurodesis. Talc slurry was performed in rabbits: 200 mg/kg checked at postoperative day 14 (five models), 200...

Bronşiyolitis obliterans (BO)’lı çocuklarda segmental akciğer perfüzyon defektlerinin klinik önemi daha önce rapor edilmemiştir. Bu çalışmanın amacı; BO’lu çocuklarda akciğer perfüzyon defektlerinin klinik anlamının değerlendirilmesi ve izlem üzerine etkisinin açıklanmasıdır. Çalışmaya, yaşları 9-60 ay arasındaki (ortalama ± SD: 17.8 ± 13.4 ay) 38 BO’lu çocuk alındı. Tanı, altı haftadan uzun sü...

Background: A school’s learning environment is believed to influence academic performance yet few studies have evaluated this association controlling for prior academic ability, an important factor since students who do well in school tend to rate their school’s environment more highly than students who are less academically strong. Aim: To evaluate the effect of student perception of the learn...

Cynomolgus monkeys are a commonly used species in preclinical drug discovery, and have high genetic similarity to humans, especially for the drug-metabolizing cytochrome P450s. However, species differences are frequently observed in the metabolism of drugs between cynomolgus monkeys and humans, and delineating these differences requires expressed CYPs. Toward this end, cynomolgus monkey CYP3A4 ...
