background: seaweeds contain significant quantities of lipids, protein, vitamins and minerals. aquavac ergosan contains 1% alginic acid extracted from two brown seaweeds, laminaria digitata and ascophyllum nodosum. both in vivo and in-vitro researches have mainly been focused on the effect of ergosan on fish growth, survival rate, reproductive performance and innate immunity in blood and epider...

agaricus bisporus and agaricus bitorquis are among most favorite mushrooms of the world. mineral contents, proximate composition and fatty acid profile of these mushrooms were determined for evaluation of their dietary value. na, k and li contents were high, while cr, cu, pb, co, zn, mn and ni concentrations were low in both agaricus bisporus and agaricus bitorquis. proximate analysis showed th...

pearl millet has tolerance to harsh growing conditions such as drought. it is at least equivalent to maize and generally superior to sorghum in protein content and metabolizable energy levels. thus it is of importance for poultry feeding. amino acid (aa) determination is expensive and time consuming. therefore nutritionists have prompted a search for alternatives to estimate aa levels. traditio...

The proximate analysis is the most common form of coal evaluation and it reveals the quality of a coal sample. It examines four factors including the moisture, ash, volatile matter (VM), and fixed carbon (FC) within the coal sample. Every factor is determined through a distinct experimental procedure under ASTM specified conditions. These determinations are time consuming and require a signific...
