The genetic base of fertility and ovulation rate in Moghani Ghezel sheep northwestern Iran northeastern Turkey is important because their fat-tailed meat carpet quality wool. genes encoding bone morphogenetic (BM) protein 15 growth differentiation (GD) factor 9, respectively BMP15 GDF9 have been shown to affect female productivity domesticated sheep. Recently, numerous investigations performed on a variety breeds determine the association between mutations these fertility. Thus, this study,...

The present study was carried out to investigate the effect of dietary vitamin E on growth performance, cellular immunity, carcass characteristics, and meat quality in geese. Sixty-four one-day-old male geese were selected from 1200 goose chicks with same average body weight (92.5 ± 2.5 g) subjected two treatments (basal diet or control basal plus 120 mg/kg supplement) 4 replicates (8 per replicate) for 8 weeks. After slaughter, aerobically packed polyethylene packages stored at °C 9 days....

The effect of dietary supplementation with VE and Se on the laying productive performance, immunity, quality parameters fresh stored eggs was assessed. For this study, five treatments, namely control (basal diet), plus 30 mg 0.4 kg-1 sodium selenite (VE30SS), Sel-Plex® (VE30SP), 120 Sodium (VE120SS), Sel-Plex (VE120SP), were examined. There no huge impact feed consumption, FCR egg yield rate. Quality including surface area, eggshell thickness, yolk selenium concentration, albumen height,...

Abstract The effects of incorporation stinging nettle extract (3% and 6%) ɛ‐polylysine (0.1% 0.2%) on chemical, microbial properties, stability rainbow trout fish fillets wrapped in polyethylene bags (in atmosphere condition) refrigerated for 12 days at 4°C were evaluated. No remarkable differences regarding the chemical composition (protein, moisture, fat, ash content) resulting from treatments noted. lowest TBARS (thiobarbituric acid reactive substance) highest phenolic compounds noted...

Medicinal plants with antibacterial effects have been used by humans for centuries. In the recent decade, due to development of antibiotic resistant strains, many studies focused on use natural compounds as feed additives in livestock. Ginger, among all, repetitively shown numerous biological activities, antibacterial, and properties. This study was conducted evaluate ginger root powder (GP) performance, egg quality, blood parameters Japanese quail. A total 240 10-weeks old female quails...

This experiment was performed to investigate the effects of some essential oils on chemical properties and aerobic stability lucerne silage. Treatments included silage without additives (control), with 60 mg cinnamon oil/kg, flaxseed lemon seed 180 blend (60 + oils/kg). Adding reduced pH (p &lt; 0.001) compared control. The highest level total volatile fatty acids (tVFA) found when oil lowest used. silages treated had crude protein contents 0.01). Untreated gas production increased It can be...

Agrifood by-products contain nutrients and bioactive compounds that can be used in the diets of livestock - thereby value-adding to an otherwise waste product environmental economic significance. This study investigated effect dietary pomegranate pulp total mixed ration Ghezel lambs, evaluating its on growth performance, blood parameters, carcass traits, as well meat quality shelf life. 3-month-old lambs (individually housed,

Ninety-six male goslings were allocated and assigned to treatment using a completely randomized design. Dietary treatments included basal diet consisting of corn, wheat, soybean meal with either no additional selenium (CON), 0.3 mg/kg inorganic (I-Se; sodium selenite), or organic (O-Se; selenium-enriched yeast). After 56-day feeding period, geese slaughtered on common ending day two per pen (n = 24) used for the analyses conducted in this study. Meat (equal portions breast thigh meat) liver...

This study evaluated the changes in calcium (Ca), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), manganese (Mn), sodium (Na), phosphorus (P), strontium (Sr) and zinc (Zn) values goose egg yolk during incubation period. was conducted on a completely random selection using 200 fertile eggs from local flock of geese. A 30 were randomly sampled days 0, 9.5, 19.5, 25 (total: 150 eggs), yolks 5 each replicate mixed together considered as one (six replicates period). The mineral content...

This study evaluated the effects of Lactobacillus buchneri (LAB) and orange pulp (OP) supplementation on chemical composition, in vitro situ degradability, dry matter (DM), pH aerobic stability alfalfa silage. Treatments were 1) without any additive (control), 2) + OP (70% mixed with 30% fresh OP, LAB0), 3) treatment 2 1.5 g LAB/ton (LAB1), 4) 3 (LAB2) 5) 4.5 (LAB3). replicated three times laboratory mini silos for 90 d a closed barn ambient temperature (15 to 18 oC). As result this study,...

This study assessed the effects of additions an essential oil (EO), composed ricinoleic acid, cardol, cardanol, and apple pomace, on fermentation quality aerobic stability alfalfa silages. The experimental treatments consisted T1) (control), T2) with EO, T3) (75%) pomace (25%), T4) (25%) T5) (50%) (50%), T6) T7) (75%), T8) EO. addition decreased silage pH compared control (P &lt;0.01). Apple at 25% level increased total volatile fatty acid (iVFA) content &lt;0.05). Essential (EO) tVFA dry...

The Effect of Adding Whey and L. Buchneri to Alfalfa Silage on In Vitro Gas Production Degradability

Abstract Higher long‐chain polyunsaturated fatty acids contents in roosters' sperm plasma membrane along with age‐related decrease antioxidant defense make the spermatozoa very susceptible to lipid peroxidation. Ginger root contains abundant amounts of gingerol, shogaols, gingerdiol and other active compounds, which known as compounds enhance semen quality. The goal study was evaluate effect dietary supplementation ginger on quality, blood chemistry, immune response, testicular histology...

Purpose of the experiment was to evaluate effect lemon-seed essential oils on chemical composition and in vitro degradability alfalfa silage.
