This experiment was conducted to study the effects of different levels of full fat canola seed low in glucosinolate and erucic acid on the performance of 336 day old quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica). The experiment was performed in a completely randomize design with three treatment and four replicates for each treatment. The experimental treatment included 5 and 10 % full fat canola seed in diet and fed to quail from 1 to 42 days of age. All of the experimental diets were iso-caloric and iso-nitrogenous. The mean total body weight was not significantly influenced by canola seed inclusion levels. But feed intake and feed conversion ratio were significantly increased by supplementation of 10 % full fat canola seed to the diet. Percentage of liver, proventriculus, gizzard, carcass to body weight was not significantly affected by canola seed inclusion levels. But small intestine rate was significantly increased by supplementation of 10 % full fat canola seed to the diet. As a result, it is possible to say that the full fat canola seed low in glicosinolate and erucic acid content could be used up to 10 % level in quails’ diet.

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of maize green fodder produced by hydroponics system on the performance of eighteen weaned crossbred calves and Calves were divided into three groups T1, T2 and T3 of six each as uniformly. The calf starter in dietary treatments T1, T2 and T3 contained 24, 20 and 17 per cent of Crude Protein (CP), respectively and 70 per cent Total Digestible Nutrients (TDN). The T2 and T3 treatments were made iso-nitrogenous with T1 by supplementing hydroponics maize fodder. The results obtained in the present study showed significant difference among different treatment groups regarding Dry matter intake (DM), total body weight gain, Average daily gain (ADG) and Feed conversion ratio (FCR) with a higher (P less than 0.05) values observed for calves belonging to T3 than groups T1 and T2. Data on digestibility of nutrients does not reveal any difference (P>0.05) among treatment groups. Cost per kg gain was significantly (P less than 0.05) lower in T3 (Rs.102.14) than groups T2 (Rs. 111.64) and T1 (Rs. 119.82). On conclusion, feeding of hydroponics maize fodder as a partial feed substitute of calf starter on protein basis at seven per cent level improves the DM intake, total body weight gain, ADG and lowers the cost per kg body weight gain.

The exotic barb Puntius gonionotus was introduced into Bangladesh in 1987. Its faster growth rate, nice taste and compatibility with our culturable species have made it very popular food fish in Bangladesh. With a view to providing some basic information towards development of sustainable seed production of the species, a study was undertaken to determine the fecundity and ovary characteristics of the fish. The mean fecundity of 55 gravid females (of 11 length group) of Puntius gonionotus was obtained as 14321 with a range of 2254.67 to 6964.73 from fishes having a mean total length and mean body weight of 200.13±20.58 mm and 196±34.379 g respectively. The relationship between the fecundity (F) and total length (TL), total body weight (TW), ovary length (OL) and ovary weight (OW) were established. Regression analysis was made and the co-efficient of correlation (r) was calculated for each of the following F-TL, F-TW, F-OL and F-OW and the values of r were obtained to be 0.84, 0.84, 0.95 and 0.96 respectively. In all the cases linear relationships obtained were highly significant. Key words: Fecundity, Puntius gonionotus, ovarian characteristics. J. bio-sci. 14: 99-102, 2006

Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of a 3-day high-carbohydrate diet (≥75% of total calories) on body composition using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Methods: Twenty non-obese young men (age 22.7 ± 2.6 years, BMI 23.5 ± 2.1 kg/m2) completed the study. Two DXA tests were performed for the measurement of total body weight, body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage as well as total, appendicular and central lean body mass (LBM) before and after a high-carbohydrate diet for 3 days. In addition, the participants completed a food diary during the 3-day high-carbohydrate diet to determine the mean percentage of carbohydrates consumed from total kilocalories. Results: The mean percentage of carbohydrate intake over 3 days was 83.7 ± 8.4%. Our results showed a significant increase in total body weight, BMI as well as total and appendicular LBM after the high-carbohydrate diet (p < 0.01). In addition, we observed a strong tendency for lower body fat percentage values after the intervention (p = 0.05). No significant difference was observed for central LBM. Conclusions: These results indicate that the effect of an acute high carbohydrate diet seems to affect body composition values using DXA, such as total LBM. This study may lead to the need of standardizing a diet prior to using DXA.

After being captured from the wild, they were kept for two weeks before they were sacrificed. Weight and length of the whole animal, gastrointestinal tract (GIT) and stomach were taken and recorded in gram (g) and centimeter (cm). The mean weight of live animal was 380.04 ± 46.00 g with the GIT counting for 9.97 % of the total body weight. The mean weight and length of the stomach were 1.59 ± 0.36 g and 4.00 ± 0.61 cm, accounting for 0.42 % and 2.94 % respectively. Externally, the stomach was gray-whitish in fresh sample, bean-shaped, covered almost entirely by deep pink like coloured liver ventrally. The interior surface is grayish with non glandular portion around the cardiac area and longitudinally folded glandular portion. Areas of sphincters were recognized as pyloric, toward the intestinal point of attachment to the stomach and cardiac sphincter toward the point of attachment of the esophagus. More folding was noticed toward the pyloric region indicative of food storing and distension capability of the stomach.</span></p>

The pharmacokinetics of gentamicin in postpartum women with endomyometritis were characterized and models for predicting patient pharmacokinetic parameters were developed using multiple regression analysis. Fifty-one women 13–34 years of age received gentamicin in combination with either ampicillin or clindamycin to treat endomyometritis. Forty-three women delivered by cesarean section and 8 women had vaginal deliveries. Gentamicin serum concentrations were determined at steady-state to compute the elimination rate constant (Ke), half-life (t1/2), apparent volume of distribution (Vd), and total body clearance (Cl). Gentamicin dosages were individualized using a one-compartment intermittent infusion model to achieve steady-state peak and trough concentrations of 6.5 and <2 μg/mL, respectively. The mean gentamicin t1/2 was 2.8 ± 0.9 h; the mean apparent Vd was 21 ± 8 L; and the mean total body Cl was 89.5 ± 31.7 mL/min. Multiple regression analysis revealed that total body weight (TBW) was the best predictor for the apparent Vd, described by the equation Vd = 0.146 TBW + 8.153 (r=0.56, p=0.00005). Total body weight and creatinine clearance (Clcr) were included as predictors for total body Cl, described by the equation Cl = 0.264 TBW + 0.337 Clcr + 3.416 (r=0.68, p=0.00005). Age and serum creatinine (SCr) were included in the models for the Ke, described by the equation Ke = −3.770 · 10−3 age — 0.115 SCr + 0.449 (r=0.42, p<0.004). Additional patient factors need to be identified to explain the variance in these pharmacokinetic parameters.

The study was conducted to evaluate the different protein content of fish feed on the growth performance of green catfish (Hemibagrus nemurus). Two thousand fingerlings averaging 3.92±0.32 g of individual body weight were stocked in each floating net cage (3 m x 3 m x 3 m) in Musi River, South Sumatra. They were fed daily for four months with feed protein content of 27% and 31%. The feed was given in pelleted form at 4%-8% of the total body weight. The result showed that the feed with 31% protein content gave better performance and significant different (P<0.05) than 27% protein feed. The feed content 31% protein was optimum for green catfish fingerlings and gave higher average individual weight gain (80.48 g), specific growth rate (2.67%), fat retention (29.48%) and better feed conversion ratio (2.28). Survival rates were the same for 2 treatments and ranged between 94.17%-95.18%.

Postabsorptive body oxygen consumption (Vo2) and pulmonary minute ventilation (Ve) were measured 164 times in 109 very obese subjects at rest. A statistically significant relationship was found between Vo2 and total body weight. The correlation coefficients for the relationships between Ve and total body weight and Ve and body surface area were less significant. The mean calculated basal metabolic rate was within normal limits. The mean values for Vo2 in the obese subjects were considerably higher than those predicted at ideal weight, while the mean values for oxygen consumption per kilogram body weight were lower than those reported in normal subjects. The mean percentage increase in oxygen consumption per kilogram excess weight (ΔVo2/Δ kg) approached the value for percentage of cell mass in excess weight, suggesting that ΔVo2/Δ kg may be a function of the increment in cell mass with obesity. Similarly, since basal metabolic rate remained unchanged, proportionate increments in body surface area and cell mass appeared to occur with the development of obesity. obesity tissue, oxygen consumption Submitted on April 3, 1964

The aim of this study was to compare anatomical and histological of the kidney in three type of birds. The study revealed that, in harrier species the cranial lobe of kidney was the largest with elongated shape. In mallard the cranial lobe was small round-oval, while middle and caudal lobe were lobulated and larger .In chicken the caudal lobe was the largest. Statistically, in harrier the mean length of cranial lobe (20±0.1mm) and the width of the middle lobe (5±0.5mm) were significantly higher than those of mallard (10±0.3mm) (8.0.2mm) and chicken (15±0.2mm) (4±0.4mm) respectively. The mean weight of the kidney in harrier is (5.8±0.20g) this value significantly was higher than those of mallared (8.9±0.11g) and chicken (6.8±0.10g) in compare to the total body weight. Histologically, in harrier species the kidney had larger cortical region and the nephron types were numerous of mammalian type in medulla and few of reptilian type was presented in sub-capsular region. In mallard species the renal lobule was relatively divided into two equal cortical and medullary regions and the nephrons showed two types, numerous of mammalian and reptilian types presented in medulla and intermediate zone of kidney. In chickens the cortical region was the larger compared to medullary region which contained numerous mammalian types and few of reptilian type.
