This study aimed to investigate the effects of sumac fruit powder (SFP; Rhus coriaria L.) supplementation on productive performance, egg quality traits and serum biochemical parameters in old laying hens. One-hundred-twenty, 54 weeks Hy-line W36 strain-laying hens were assigned three treatments, five replicates eight per replicate a completely randomised design. Experimental diets included: (1)...

an eight week study was conducted to investigate the effect of inclusion of tomato waste meal in layer diets on laying performance, egg quality and lipid profile as a means to reduce feed cost and pollution. four laying diets containing tomato waste meal (twm) at four levels of 0, 3, 6 or 9% were assigned randomly to 4 groups of 40 birds divided among four replicates of 10 birds in each dietary...

BACKGROUND Non-stimulatory, meal-mediated electrical stimulation of the stomach (TANTALUS-DIAMOND) improves glycaemic control and causes modest weight loss in patients with Type 2 diabetes who are inadequately controlled on oral anti-diabetic medications. The magnitude of the glycaemic response in clinical studies has been variable. A preliminary analysis of data from patients who had completed...

visfatin is a newly discovered adipokine which increases along with obesity. it is not clear whether rhythmic aerobic endurance exercise training which induces changes in adipose tissue and blood lipid might decrease the plasma visfatin level. the aim of this study was to examine the effect of rhythmic aerobic endurance exercise training on rest visfatin levels some metabolic risk factors in ob...

The purpose of this study was to determine the dietary effects fruit pulps (dried tomato, apple and grape) on performance egg quality characteristics laying hens. In trial, 196 Lohmann sandy layers 25 weeks age were distributed into four groups with seven replicates for 9 weeks. Trial fed following diets, control group basal diet (no additive), 4 % dried tomato pulp, 4% pulp 2.5% grape pulp. Fe...

This study monitored the morphological development of embryo, larvae and juvenile yellowtail kingfish, Seriola lalandi, for their aquaculture. The fertilized eggs obtained by natural spawning were spherical shape and buoyant. Fertilized eggs were transparent and had one oil globule in the yolk, with an egg diameter of 1.35 ± 0.04 mm and an oil globule diameter of 0.32 ± 0.02 mm. The fertilized ...

An experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of using different levels of Red Pepper powder (RP) and Marigold flower powder (MF) on egg production, egg yolk color andsome blood metabolites in laying hens. Ninety, 103-weeks old laying hens were divided into 5 treatments groups of 6 birds in each cage with 3 replicates in a completely randomized design. The birds were fed a corn-soybean...

Specific activities and total radioactivity of liver and serum triglycerides were determined, in glucose-fed rats, at various times after a single intravenous injection of palmitatel-CI4. A multicompartmental model of plasma and liver triglyceride metabolism was constructed which was compatible with the known physiological and biochemical behavior of triglycerides and the observed data. The rat...
