In theory the measurement of net protein utilization (N.P.u.) refers to the particular protein under test. In practice there is a small amount of other nitrogen (including that from the vitamins) in the basal diet so that the actual measurement evaluates a mixture of test protein and this other nitrogen. In the diets that we have been using with rats (Miller & Bender, 1955; Bender, 1956) the te...

BACKGROUND: Wheat produces more than 50 percent of requirements protein and calorie for human nutrition in Iran. Management of nitrogen fertilizing is important to increasing wheat production. So, among chemical fertilizer a high correlation reported between nitrogen and yield. Also to improve physical, chemical and biological properties of soil, organic fertilizer such as verm...

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...

introduction sunflower (helianthus annuus l.) is one of the most important oil crops in the world. iran is climatically regarded as an arid and semi-arid region in the world, where the lack of precipitation and its inappropriate distribution, high temperature and extensive evaporation makes the irrigation the main way for meeting plants water demand. hence, studying the effect of irrigation on ...

the aim followed in the present study was to investigate the effects of different metabolizable protein (mp) levels on holstein cows, milk yield and composition, and as well on concentration of plasma metabolites in the cow,s early lactation. twenty - four holstein cows(bw 580±23, dim 30±7, parity 2.4±0.5) were randomly assigned to each one of the 4 dietary treatments containing 1) 10.60% (diet...
