The trophic behavior and host preference of two sibling species, Anopheles minimus s.s. (= An. minimus species A) and species C, were observed during a two-year period at Pu Teuy Village, Sai Yok District, Kanchanaburi Province, western Thailand. Anopheles minimus s.s. and species C were more prevalent during the hot and wet periods of the year. Both species demonstrated exophagic and zoophilic...

The food and feeding habit of beardless barb, Cyclocheilichthys apogon (Valenciennes, 1842), from family Cyprinidae was investigated by stomach content analyses of 374 collected fish in two consecutive reservoirs Temengor and Bersia Reservoirs which are separated by Temengor Dam. The main aim of this study was to compare the stomach contents of C. apogon between these two reservoirs in wet and ...

1. Forty-six flocks of commercially-reared Pekin ducks were studied to determine the effects of housing system and environment on the behaviour of farmed ducks and its correlation with physical condition. Houses differed predominantly in their ventilation, drinking, feeding and brooding systems, and were indicative of systems currently in use in the UK. 2. At 41 d of age ducks spent 15% of the ...

The use of distillers byproducts as energy sources would expand the market for these byproducts. Drying of these byproducts may produce changes that affect the nutritional value. A series of experiments was conducted to evaluate distillers byproducts as an energy source for finishing cattle and to compare wet vs. dried byproducts. The energy value of wet distillers byproducts was 132 to 174% th...

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were functionalized using nonequilibrium atmospheric pressure plasma. The efficiency of the atmospheric pressure plasma treatment is characterised by XPS, FT-IR spectroscopy and contact angle measurements. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) reveals that the MWCNT structure can be preserved when wet feeding into the plasma is applied.

Milk samples were taken from rats feeding ten pups and from both the suckled and non-suckled glands of rats feeding two pups. The lipid, protein and lactose concentrations were similar in the milks from the secreting glands, but the fluid from the non-suckled glands contained less lactose and lipid but significantly higher total protein and transferrin concentrations. The fatty acid composition...
