to investigate the relationship between chemical composition of meat from the carcass cuts and thewhole carcass, 48 nine-month-old randomly selected ram lambs of ghezel and mehraban (24 rams per breed)were used in a trial arranged as a 2 × 2 factorial experiment with two breeds and two feeding levels (high andlow), in a completely randomized design. after 80 days, all animals were slaughtered a...

Percentages and yields of fat, crude protein (CP), true protein (TP) and non-protein nitrogen (NPN) wereassessed in milk of four groups of Holstein cows, at early, mid and late lactation (days in milk 20-70, 71-110, 111-150 and 151-210), on a diet rich in concentrates during a hot summer. Four milk samples were taken from individual cows at 10-day intervals. Milk fat percentages were close to b...

Phytate in poultry rations containing rice bran (RB) critically reduce poultry performance while increasing N and P excretion. The objective of this study was to determine whether the anti-nutritive problems associated with higher inclusions of rice bran in poultry rations (up to 40%) could be mitigated with mega doses of phytase. Twenty days old male broiler chicks (n=180) in 60 floor pens wer...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of spirulina pletensis powder on the growth performances (final weight (fw), daily growth ratio (dgr), feed indices (feed conversion rate (fcr), voluntary feed intake (vfi), protein efficiency ratio (per), protein produce value (ppv), body chemical (protein, fat, moisture and ash) and fatty acid composition of mugil cephalus for 62 days. the ...

. eight holstein cows in early lactating stage were used in a 4×4 change-over design within 4 periods of 21-d to determine the effects of alfalfa hay particle size and soybean oil supplementation on intake, digestibility, ruminal and blood metabolites, chewing activity, milk yield and compositions. four total mixed rations containing 20, 20 and 60% corn silage, alfalfa hay and concentrate respe...

The milk whey remaining at the end of cheese-making process is main by-product dairy industries and it currently used as a source high added-value compounds by food pharmaceutical industries. aim this research was to study effects season on residual characteristics in Parmigiano Reggiano process. Over two years, total 288 trials PDO (Protected Designation Origin) cheese were performed three com...

percentages and yields of fat, crude protein (cp), true protein (tp) and non-protein nitrogen (npn) wereassessed in milk of four groups of holstein cows, at early, mid and late lactation (days in milk 20-70, 71-110, 111-150 and 151-210), on a diet rich in concentrates during a hot summer. four milk samples were taken from individual cows at 10-day intervals. milk fat percentages were close to b...

sixteen rams (mean age: 13 mo; mean live weight: 40.0 ± 2.4 kg) were randomly allotted to four dietary treatments in a completely randomized design (4 rams per treatment). diets (dry matter basis) contained 65% concentrate and 35% alfalfa hay (control diet, t1), 35% wheat straw (t2), 35% barley straw (t3) or 35% maize straw (t4). total-tract apparent digestibility for dry matter, organic matter...

Depending on the species, edible insects are highly nutritious and thus represent a noteworthy alternative food and feed source. The current work investigates the protein extractability and techno-functionality of insect flour fractions recovered from Tenebrio molitor and Hermetia illucens. T. molitor and H. illucens flours contained about 20% crude fat and 60% and 36 % crude protein, respectiv...

background: affecting the female reproductive organ and the layers around the oocyst, some ration ions could facilitate the penetration of sperm with specific chromosome type and change the sex ratio in mammal infants. objectives: the purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of potassium supplement on the sex ratio in rat. methods: the percentage of moisture, ash, crude fat and p...
