In this trial effects of feeding pistachio by-product silage with date waste (PBSD) on dry matter intake (DMI), live weight gain and blood parameters of lambs were studied. Ensiling of pistachio by-products (PBP) with date waste increased dry matter (DM) and metabolizable energy (ME), but decreased the percentages of crude protein (CP), total tannins and phenolic compounds (P

We carefully analyze the WFPC2 and STIS images of GRB970228. We measure magnitudes for the GRB970228 point source component in the WFPC2 images of V = 26.20 −0.13, Ic = 23.94 +0.10 −0.09 and V = 26.52 +0.16 −0.18, Ic = 24.31 +0.15 −0.11 on March 26 and April 7, respectively; and Rc = 27.09 +0.14 −0.14 on September 4 in the STIS image. For the extended component, we measure magnitudes of Rc = 25...

We investigated patterns of seasonal variation in body weight in six populations of five resident species of temperate-zone woodpeckers: Acorn Woodpecker (Melanerpes formicivorus), Red-bellied Woodpecker (M. carolinus), Red-cockaded Woodpecker (Picoides borealis), Downy Woodpecker (P. pubescens), and Great Spotted Woodpecker (Dendrocopos major). After controlling for time of day and overall bod...

For hibernators, being born late in the active season may have important effects on growth and fattening, hence on winter survival and reproduction. This study investigated differences in growth, fattening, energetic responses, winter survival and fecundity between early-born ('EB') and late-born ('LB') juvenile garden dormice (Eliomys quercinus). LB juveniles grew and gained mass twice as fast...

skeletal abnormalities are most often used to describe defects in the arms or legs that are associated with genes or chromosomes, or that occur due to an event that happens during pregnancy. spider lamb syndrome (sls) is a congenital disorder in sheep breeding that is recognized by some deformities in skeletal system especially in the limbs.a dead day-old cross-breed white lamb with deformed li...

Organic steer production demand several decisions concerning grazing strategy, feeding level in the winter and factors as slaughter weight and length of the fattening period. The production can be difficult to optimise, therefore the objective of this study was to describe a model developed to optimise the fattening and slaughter strategy of steer production concerning economy at an individual ...

this study was investigate the effects of two levels of metabolism energy (me) and length of fattening periods on performance and growth characteristics of chalishtori male lambs. 64 ram lambs were weaning and intake diets with two levels of energy include: 2.5 and 2.3 mcal me/kg dm in 90 and 120 days fattening period. in this study used of completely random designs with 2×2 factorial methods (...

2015 © American Water Works Association JOURNAL AWWA OCTOBER 2015 | 107:10 Tularemia is an acute febrile zoonotic disease caused by the bacterium Francisella tularensis. Shortly after the initial isolation of the organism in Tulare County, Calif. (McCoy & Chapin 1912), the first case of a human infection was reported from Cincinnati, Ohio (Wherry & Lamb 1914). The first documented waterborne ou...
