to examine the effects of different sources of rumen-degradable carbohydrates on rumen fermentation, nitrogen metabolism and performance of holstein dairy cows, four lactating holstein cows fitted with rumen cannulae in a 4×4 latin square with four diets and four 28 day periods each, were employed. experimental diets contained different levels of pure sucrose and corn starch in which sucrose wa...

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...

A total of 48 different volatile oils were identified form P. brevitarsis larvae by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Acids (48.67%) were detected as the major group in P. brevitarsis larvae comprising the largest proportion of the volatile compounds, followed by esters (19.84%), hydrocarbons (18.90%), alcohols (8.37%), miscellaneous (1.71%), aldehydes (1.35%) and terpenes (1.16%). ...

Background and Objectives: Breast milk composition is affected by several factors such as maternal diet and body mass index. Milk fats include a major calorie content of the milk, which changes dramatically throughout the lactation. The aim of the present study was to assess breast milk fatty acid profile in overweight and obese mothers and its correlations with maternal body mass index. Mater...

Growth, cecal volatile fatty acids, mineral profile of plasma, liver weight and gastrointestinal weights were measured in rabbits fed isonitrogenous, equicaloric diets containing 3, 6, 9 or 12% dietary crude fiber from either alfalfa or Coastal Bermuda grass. Rabbits were fed from 4 to 8 wk of age. Alfalfa diets improved (P less than .05) average daily gain (20.5 vs 11.9 g/d) and livability (67...

background: the high percentage of consumed antibiotics by humans and animals is excreted with other residues from the body after its performance. by entering these compounds to the wastewater, they can disrupt the anaerobic treatment process. in this study, deterrent behavior of two ampicillin and gentamicin antibiotics are investigated on specific methanogenic activity (sma) of anaerobic biom...

To understand the mechanisms of off-odor production in irradiated meat, the volatile compounds produced from individual fatty acids by irradiation were identified. Nonirradiated oil emulsions prepared with polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) produced many volatile compounds, but the amounts of volatiles generally decreased after irradiation. Although volatile profiles of fatty acid emulsions we...

effects of summer savory (satureja hortensis l.) dry powder (ssdp) and essential oil (sseo) on performance, ruminal fermentation and blood metabolites were assessed using 20west azerbaijan native kids (16±1.94 kg initial live weight) in a random block design with 5 treatments (4 replicates per treatment) over a 13-week period. treatments were: i) basal diet without additive (control), ii): basa...

key dissimilarities between thermophilic and mesophilic anaerobic digestion of waste activated sludge (was) were experimentally studied in this research. typical was with total solids (ts) concentrations of 30 and 60 g/l were digested anaerobically in a batch digester at mesophilic and thermophilic temperatures. solids reduction, total cod changes, the production of different volatile fatty ...
