this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of vitamin c on laying hens performance, egg characteristics and some blood parameters under normal rearing condition. one hundred and ninety two 24 - weeks - old laying hens diet were used in a completely randomized design with 4 treatments (0, 250, 500 and 750 mg vitamin c/kg diet) and 4 replicates for 105 days. although feed consumption, ...

Observations on the effects of season, housing and diet were made on 916 steers in three winter and two summer trials. Diets consisted of corn grain and corn silage, in balanced rations, fed ad libitum with energy ratios of 25:75 (Diet 1), 55:45 (Diet 2) and 85:15 (Diet 3). There were three types of housing systems: outside lots without access to overhead shelter (NS), outside lots with access ...

the current study was conducted to survey the influences of addition of alfalfa meal (am), rice bran (rb) and wood shaving (ws) in wheat-based diets [contain soluble non starch polysaccharides (nsp)] on performance carcass characteristic and serum lipids of broilers from 11 to 42 d of age. seven hundreds 10-d-old male ross 308 chicks were placed into 35 pens and allocated to seven wheat-soybean...

an experiment was carried out to compare the effects of laying hen’s diet supplemented with inorganic and different organic sources of selenium (se) on quality and oxidative stability of eggs during storage. a total of 81, (35-week old) laying hens of lohmann lsl-white were assigned to cages in a completely randomized design with 9 groups of treatment and 3 replicates of 3 birds. hens in each g...

background: hypercholesterolemia is one of the risk factors of cardiovascular diseases. it affects general health and increases cardiovascular mortality rate. diet with high cholesterol increases ldl that, inturn, decrease ldl receptors activity in liver. oxidation of vessel wall lipoproteins increases development of atherosclerosis. several evidences suggest that antioxidants consumption decre...

The present study was aimed to assess the influence of brown marine algae and vitamin E (VE) (160 ppm α-tocopheryl acetate) on stability of chicken meat enriched with fish oil. In this study, 360 d-old broilers (Arbor Acres Plus) were randomly assigned to 6 treatment groups with 4 replicates of 15 birds in each. Experimental groups consisted of corn-soybean basal diet (C), corn-soybean basal di...

Stable isotope and molecular data suggest that C(4) grasses first appeared globally in the Oligocene. In East Africa, stable isotope data from pedogenic carbonate and fossil tooth enamel suggest a first appearance between 15-10 Ma and subsequent expansion during the Plio-Pleistocene. The fossil enamel record has the potential to provide detailed information about the rates of dietary adaptation...

OBJECTIVES Hyperthermia is one of the most common environmental stressors that affect multi-biological systems in the body including the central nervous system as well as the hematopoietic organs. The objective of the present study was to investigate the protective role of ethanolic extract of propolis (EEP) on some selective stress markers, hematological, biochemical, and histopathological cha...

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) may be associated with the response or toxicity to different types of treatment. Although SNP analysis is usually performed on DNA from peripheral blood, formalin fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue is often used for retrospective studies. We analyzed VEGF (-2578C>A, -1498C>T, -1154G>A, -634C>G, +936C>T) and eNOS (+894G>T, -786T>C, VNTR (variable number ...
