two experiments were conducted to evaluate the crude protein fractionation, in vitro gas production and the biological effects of tannins in alfalfa silage treated with different levels of pistachio by-products (pb) extract. pb was soaked in water with a ratio of 1:5 (w/v) for 12 h. after filtering and concentrating, the crude extract was added to fresh alfalfa to a final concentration of 1%, 2...

this study was carried out to determine the effects of gamma irradiation on dry matter (dm) and on crude protein (cp) degradation of rapeseed meal, using nylon bags and sds-page techniques. ruminal nylon bags of either untreated or irradiated rapeseed meal at doses of 25, 50 and 75 kgy were suspended in the rumen of four non-lactating holstein cows for up to 48 h. intestinal crude protein diges...

the purpose of this study was to determine the effect of two levels of four commercial multi-enzymes on the apparent metabolizable energy corrected for nitrogen (amen) and digestibility of crude fat, crude protein, dry matter, and organic matter in broiler chickens through total excreta collection method. one hundred thirty male broiler chicks were assigned to 45 metabolic cages involving 9 tre...

brachystegia eurycoma is predominantly grown in the eastern region of nigeria. its seed is used in food majorly as a soup condiment, flavouring agent and soup thickener. the proximate, mineral and amino acid compositions were determined on raw and processed seeds (boiled, fermented and roasted) using standard analytical techniques. the processing methods showed deviations in nutrients from the ...

this study aimed to assess the anticariogenic and hemolytic activity of crude plant seed protein extracts against tooth decaying bacteria.the proteins from seeds of 12 different plants were extracted and used for antimicrobial assay against six different organisms. the extraction was carried out in 10mm of sodium phosphate buffer (ph 7.0). protein concentrations were determined as described by ...

A 60-days feeding trail was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary digestible energy levels (DE) on kutum, Rutilus frisii kutum. Four is nitrogenous (35% protein) diets with digestible energy levels of 2500, 2600, 2700 and 2800kcal kg-1 was tested. Two hundred and forty advanced fry (2±0.4g) were randomly distributed in 12 fiberglass tanks of 400L capacity. Nutritional responses in...

  Objective(s): Echis carinatus is one of the venomous snakes in Iran. The venom of Iranian Echis carinatus is a rich source of protein with various factors affecting the plasma protein and blood coagulation factor. Some of these proteins exhibit types of enzymatic activities. However, other items are proteins with no enzymatic activity.   Materials and Methods: In order to study the mechanism ...

The chemical composition and in vitro gas production of some leguminous browse species were evaluated. Crude protein (CP) content was highest (P

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...
