conventional and nanostructured ysz coatings were deposited on the in-738 ni super alloy by the atmospheric plasma spray technique. the oxidation was measured at 1100°c in an atmospheric electrical furnace. according to the experimental results the nanostructured coatings showed a better oxidation resistance than the conventional ones. the improved oxidation resistance of the nanocoating could ...

the in vitro dissolution of plasma-sprayed hydroxyapatite (pha) coatings with different characteristics, produced by various spraying conditions, in a tris-buffered solution at ph 7.4 was experimentally studied through the measurement of calcium ions release with inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (icp-aes), and then modeled. three coating characteristics, the crystallinity...

titanium and its alloy are known as important load-bearing biomaterials. the major drawbacks of these metals are fibrous formation and low corrosion rate after implantation. the surface modification of biomedical implants through various methods such as plasma spray improves their osseointegration and clinical lifetime. different materials have been already used as coatings on biomedical implan...

The porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) antibody and DNA status of porcine plasma products collected during the commercial spray-drying process were evaluated. Samples evaluated included 52 pooled liquid plasma (fresh) samples collected at 14 regional abattoirs before transport to 1 of 2 spray-drying facilities, 32 pooled liquid plasma (concentrated) samples collected after arrival at the spray-dr...

Spray-dried plasma (SDP) or spray-dried serum (SDS) are ingredients that are collected and processed to preserve the functional characteristics of the proteins. Spray-dried plasma or serum is a diverse mixture of functional components consisting of immunoglobulins, albumin, fibrinogen, lipids, growth factors, biologically active peptides (defensins, transferrin), enzymes and other factors that ...

The use of growth promoting and therapeutic antibiotics in piglet feed has been a concerning subject over the last few decades because of the risk of generating antimicrobial resistance that could be transferred to humans. As a result, many products have been proposed as potential alternatives to the use of antibiotics, and among these, spray dried plasma is considered one of the most promising...

BACKGROUND Spray-drying techniques are commonly utilized in the pharmaceutical, dairy, and animal feed industries for processing liquids into powders but have not been applied to human blood products. Spray-dried protein products are known to maintain stability during storage at room temperature. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS Plasma units collected at the donor facility were shipped overnight at r...

Two trials were conducted to determine the effects of irradiation of spray-dried blood meal and animal plasma on nursery pig growth performance. In Exp. 1, irradiation of spray-dried blood meal resulted in improved ADG and F/G and tended to increase ADFI for the 14 d experiment. The majority of the increase in growth performance occurred during the first week of the trial. In Exp. 2, ADG and AD...

The effects of spray-dried animal plasma in milk replacer without or with the addition of additives containing fructooligosaccharides and spray-dried serum on health, growth, and intake of Holstein calves was measured in two 56-d experiments. In experiment 1, 120 calves were fed milk replacer containing 0 or 20% of crude protein as spray-dried bovine plasma for 42 d and 30 to 60 g/d of additive...
