(2019)We evaluated the performance of three serological tests – an immunoglobulin G indirect enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (iELISA), a Rose Bengal test and a slow agglutination test (SAT) – for the diagnosis of bovine ... -
Diet, lung function and swimmers' performance
(2001)Purpose: The aim of this study was to correlate athletic performance with both lung function and diet. Design: Open, uncontrolled trial. Materials and Methods: Sixty-eight swimmers (28 females and 40 males), 9-15 years ... -
Effect of dietary non-starch polysaccharide solubility and inclusion level on gut health and the risk of post weaning enteric disorders in newly weaned piglets
(2007)The objective of this experiment was to investigate the effect of non-starch polysaccharide (NSP) solubility and inclusion rate on gut health and development, performance and risk of post weaning enteric disorders (PWED) ... -
The effect of weaner diet protein content and diet quality on the long-term performance of pigs to slaughter
(2009)Short and long-term effects of manipulating dietary CP content and diet quality in weaner diets on health and performance of pigs were investigated in a 2 x 2 factorial combination of CP inclusion (high-CP, 230 g of CP/kg ... -
Effects of Anesthetic Ketamine on Anxiety-Like Behaviour in Rats
(2019)There is scarce information regarding the effects of anesthetic doses of the non-competitive N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor antagonist ketamine on anxiety. The current study evaluated the acute effects of intraperitoneally ... -
The effects of benzoic acid and essential oil compounds in combination with protease on the performance of chickens
(2014)Experiments were conducted to study the effect of benzoic acid and of essential oil blends in combination with protease on the growth performance of broiler chickens. In the first trial, the birds were divided into three ... -
Effects of essential oils on milk production, milk composition, and rumen microbiota in Chios dairy ewes
(2011)The effect of the addition of an essential oil (EO) preparation (containing a mixture of natural and nature-identical EO) on the performance of dairy ewes of the Chios breed was investigated. Eighty lactating ewes were ... -
Effects of retention of fetal membranes on subsequent reproductive performance of dairy ewes
