Abstract

Paclitaxel is the top-selling anticancer medicine in the world. In vitro culture of Corylus avellana has been made known as a promising and inexpensive strategy for producing paclitaxel. Fungal elicitors have been named as the most efficient strategy for enhancing the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites in plant cell culture. In this study, endophytic fungal strain HEF 17 was isolated from C. avellana and identified as Camarosporomyces flavigenus. C. avellana cell suspension culture (CSC) elicited with cell extract (CE) and culture filtrate (CF) derived from strain HEF 17, either individually or combined treatment, in mid and late log phase was processed for modeling and optimizing growth and paclitaxel biosynthesis regarding CE and CF co

Abstract

Responses of broiler chickens to dietary glycine equivalent (Gly equi) are affected by dietary cysteine and choline. Hence, this study investigated interactive effects among dietary Gly equi, cysteine, and choline on the growth of broiler chickens. Male Ross 308 broiler chickens were maintained in 105 metabolism units (10 birds/unit) from days 7 to 22. Excreta were collected in 12-h intervals from days 18 to 21. Blood was sampled on day 22 (1 bird/unit). Five levels each of Gly equi (9–21 g/kg), cysteine (2–5 g/kg), and choline (0.5–1.7 g/kg) were tested under 15 diets in 7 replicates each following a fractional central composite design. Another diet was provided to five metabolism units (15 birds/unit) to measure prececal amino acid

Abstract

The biological procedure used to determine the nitrogen-corrected True Metabolizable Energy (TMEn) value of feed ingredient is costly and time consuming. Therefore, it is necessary to find an alternative method to accurately estimate the TMEn content. In this study, 2 methods of Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) were developed to describe the TMEn (Kcal kg-1 DM) value on a Dry Matter (DM) basis of Wheat Bran (WB) samples given their chemical composition of Ether Extract (EE), ash, Crude Protein (CP) and Crude Fiber (CF) contents (all used as% of DM). A data set containing 100 WB samples were used to determine chemical composition and TMEn. Accuracy and precision of the developed models were evaluated given

Abstract

The present study proposes a Gaussian process regression (GPR) approach to develop a model to predict true metabolizable energy corrected for nitrogen (TMEn) content of corn samples (as model output) for poultry given levels of feed chemical compositions of crude protein, ether extract, crude fiber, and ash (as model inputs). A 30 corn samples obtained from 5 origins [Brazil (n = 9), China (n = 5), Iran (n = 7), and Ukraine (n = 9)] were assayed to determine chemical composition and TMEn content using chemical analyses and bioassay technique. In addition to GPR model, data were also analyzed by multiple linear regression (MLR) model. Results revealed that corn samples of different origins differ in their gross energy and chemical compositio

Abstract

Four nonlinear models including Logistic, Gompertz-Laird, Richards, and von Bertalanffy were compared to achieve the best prediction of growth parameters describing the growth curve in a crossbred chicken population. Growth data (weekly body weights of chicken from birth to 84 days of age) were collected on 303 birds (174 females and 129 males) of F2 cross of the Arian line broiler chicken (Line B) and Urmia native chicken. Some statistical criteria such as Akaike Information Criterion (AIC), Corrected Akaike Information Criterion for small sample sizes (AICc), and Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) were used to find the best model. The results showed that the estimated values of the initial weight (W0) and final Weight (Wf) in male were

Abstract

An experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of using gelatin as a partial protein source and protease in broilers diets. The experiment was carried out as a factorial arrangement, containing two levels of protease (0 and 200 gs per ton of diet) and four levels of gelatin (0, 2.82, 4.23 and 5.64% of the diet replacing 12.5, 18.75 and 25% of the SBM protein, respectively) with 6 replicates and 15 chicks in each pen. Body weight, feed intake and FCR were measured at day 7, 21 and 35. Ileal digesta viscosity, ileal morphology and ileal coliform and lactobacilli population were measured at day 35. In addition, apparent protein digestibility was determined between 28 and 35 days of age. Results show that the highest inclusion rate of g

Abstract

Context Gelatin, presently a waste material from animal tissues and bones, may be suitable as a partial dietary replacement for soybean meal. In combination with protease, it may enhance growth performances of broiler chickens. However, limitations when introducing gelatin, are its unusual amino acid profile and digesta viscosity. Aim An experiment was conducted to elucidate effects on growth performance, blood biochemistry, carcass and meat characteristics, and feed costs of partial replacement of soybean meal with gelatin and protease in broilers diets. Methods The experimental design was a factorial arrangement of two levels of mono-component protease (0 and 200 g/t diet) and four levels of gelatin (0%, 2.82%, 4.23% and 5.64% of the diet
