Applications of natural zeolites on agriculture and food production
(2017)Zeolites are crystalline hydrated aluminosilicates with remarkable physical and chemical properties, which include losing and receiving water in a reverse way, adsorbing molecules that act as molecular sieves, and replacing ... -
Assessment of Fatty Acid Allocation in Plasma and Tissues in Piglets, Using Feed Supplemented with Byproducts from Processed Olive Mill Wastewater
(2016)BACKGROUND/AIM: A previous study revealed the improvement of redox status in blood and tissues of young piglets (ablactation period), that consumed feed containing polyphenolic additives from byproducts of processed olive ... -
Corn silage supplemented with pomegranate (Punica granatum) and avocado (persea americana) pulp and seed wastes for improvement of meat characteristics in poultry production
(2021)In the present study, pomegranate peels, avocado peels, and seed vacuum microwave extraction solid by-products were supplemented in corn silage in order to investigate the effects on meat quality and growth rate in broiler ... -
Effects of addition of nutritionally improved straw in dairy cow diets at 2 starch levels
(2020)The objective of this experiment was to explore the effects of different dietary neutral detergent fiber sources within diets of high-producing dairy cattle with low or high starch concentrations on milk yield and composition, ... -
Effects of dietary grape pomace supplementation on performance, carcass traits and meat quality of lambs
(2018)Background/Aim: A previous study revealed that the inclusion of grape pomace (GP) in the diet for growing lambs had beneficial effects on the redox status and fecal microbiota. Herein, we investigated the effect of GP ... -
Effects of pregnancy and short-lasting acute feed restriction on total ghrelin concentration and metabolic parameters in dairy cattle
(2018)The aims of this study were: to compare total ghrelin concentration throughout pregnancy between lactating cows and heifers, and to study the response to acute feed restriction in pregnant or non-pregnant heifers. Blood ... -
Effects of protease addition and replacement of soybean meal by corn gluten meal on the growth of broilers and on the environmental performances of a broiler production system in Greece
(2017)An experimental study was conducted to examine the combined effects of adding a dietary protease, reducing the levels of soybean meal (SBM) and introducing corn gluten meal (CGM) in the ration of a group of broilers reared ... -
Effects of sheep/goat whey protein dietary supplementation on the redox status of rats
(2018)The purpose of the present study is to estimate the effects of sheep/goat whey protein dietary supplementation on the redox status of blood and tissues of rats. Twelve male Wistar rats were divided into the control group ... -
Enterobacter sp. AA26 gut symbiont as a protein source for Mediterranean fruit fly mass-rearing and sterile insect technique applications
(2019)Background: Insect species have established sophisticated symbiotic associations with diverse groups of microorganisms including bacteria which have been shown to affect several aspects of their biology, physiology, ecology ... -
Evaluation of in-feed larch sawdust anti-inflammatory effect in sows
(2017)The study aimed to investigate the possible anti-inflammatory activity of larch sawdust as feed supplement in lactating sows' diet and its possible effect on the prevalence of Postpartum Dysgalactia Syndrome under field ... -
Evaluation of various commodities for the development of the yellow mealworm, Tenebrio molitor
(2020)We evaluated the suitability of forty-four commodities (i.e., cereal flours and meals, non-flour, cereal commodities, legumes and various commodities of vegetative and animal origin) as oviposition and feeding substrates ... -
Feed supplemented with polyphenolic byproduct from olive mill wastewater processing improves the redox status in blood and tissues of piglets
(2015)In the present study, a polyphenolic byproduct from olive mill wastewater (OMWW) was used for making piglet feed with antioxidant activity. For examining the antioxidant capacity of the feed, 30 piglets of 20 d old were ... -
Field Evaluation of a Bioregulator Containing Live Bacillus cereus Spores on Health Status and Performance of Sows and their Litters
(2001)The efficacy of Paciflor, a bioregulator containing live Bacillus cereus CIP 5832 spores, was assessed in sows during late pregnancy and lactation, as well as in their piglets up to the growing phase. Two groups each of ... -
Field evaluation of the effect of in-feed doxycycline for the control of ileitis in weaned piglets
(2002)The aim of this trial was to evaluate the effect of in-feed doxycycline (DOXY) on the control of ileitis in weaned piglets. On a farm with a previous history of ileitis outbreaks, 288 piglets at the age of weaning (25 ± 2 ... -
Genetic growth potential interacts with nutrition on the ability of mice to cope with Heligmosomoides bakeri infection
(2009)Artificial selection for improved productivity may reduce an animal's ability to cope with pathogens. Here, we used Roslin mice, uniquely divergently selected for high (ROH) and low (ROL) body weight, to assess interactive ... -
