Recently genetic studies have been revolutionized by next generation sequencing (NGS) technology, and it is expected that the use of this technology will largely eliminate defects in the methods of association studies. The ...

The effect of substituting native grass with jengkol (Archidendron jiringa) by-product on fermentation characteristics, rumen microbial profile, methane production, and hydrogen balance using in vitro method ...

The objective of the current research was to make a character description of simple sequence repeats (SSR) derived from expressed sequence TAGs (EST) markers of dromedary camels (EST-SSR markers) and to conduct a practical ...

Betaine (trimethylglycine) is a methyl group donor involved in important physiological processes including homocysteine synthesis, alleviating the oxidative stress, and reducing the lipid peroxidation. In the present study, ...

The objective of this study was to determine the concentration of fatty acids (FA) especially conjugated linoleic and trans fatty acids in milk from Jersey cows fed green alfalfa (GA) or alfalfa hay (AH). Forty Jersey cows ...

Two experimental factors (dietary treatment with or without pelleted-concentrate supplement (PCS) and sex) were investigated in crossbreed post-weaning calves to monitor their effects on performance, hematological profile, ...

Regardless of reasonable reproductive performance of ewe lambs of many breeds, Ghezel ewe lambs have a very poor fertility rate, but Ghezel yearling ewes have a high fertility rate. So, comparing ewe lambs with yearling ...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of in ovo injection of zinc oxide nanoparticles on the hatchability, production performance and immune responses of broilers. A total of 192 fertile eggs obtained ...

Beef production is an important development area in animal breeding with meat quality being determined by both paratypic and genetic factors. In this regard evaluating genetic material for the presence of desirable allele ...

Conditioning is a major stage in the pelleting process for feeds. Probiotics are known to have the ability for improvement of the immune system and growth performance. Wheat can be used as a replacement for corn. Thus, the ...

An experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of in ovo feeding (IOF) of glutamine (Gln) on hatching traits, growth performance, digestive enzyme activities, immune response and some of blood parameters ...

Diacylglycerol acyltransferase1 (DGAT1) plays an important role in the metabolism of triglycerides which catalyze the final step of triglyceride synthesis in animals. The objective of this study was to investigate the ...

The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between gas produced through in vitro gas production test and microbial fuel cell (MFC) technique and introduce new assay for evaluation of ruminants feedstuffs. ...

An experiment was performed to investigate the effect of using sage powder (Salvia officinalis) on performance, blood cells, immunity titers, biochemical parameters and small intestine morphology in broiler chickens. ...
