The carcass amount of the male and female frogs collected from the nature (Pelophylax ridibundus) were Determined by measuring body length (SVL) and hind leg length of the carcass, hind leg, skin, head and liver weight. The mean SVL of the female frogs was measured as 91.6 ± 0.53 mm and the males as 81.1 ± 0.69 mm the difference was found to be statistically significant. The mean length values of the hind legs consumed as food were found to be 72.0 ± 0.65 mm in female frogs and 68.0 ± 0.53 mm in male frogs, and the difference was not statistically significant. The mean weight of the hind legs was 21.45 ± 5.06 g in female frogs and 15.53 ± 2.94 g in male frogs, and these amounts were approximately 25% of the total body weight in both sexes. In this study, the average weight of female frogs consumed as body, carcass and food was higher than male frogs. These weight differences between female frogs and male frogs were also found to be statistically significant. Carcass weights constitute approximately 50% of the total weight in both male and female individuals. As a result of the cutting process outside the carcass; the average weight of skin, head and liver were higher in female frogs than in male frogs. Except for the other parts of the carcass were determined to be important differences between male and female individuals, except the head weight. The average amount of frog skin, which is an important industrial product, was found to be 8.07 ± 2.04 g in female frogs and 5.66 ± 1.21 g in male frogs. The ratio of these values was found to correspond to 10% of the total body weight. In this study, it was investigated that the female frogs were better in terms of carcass gain than male frogs and the amount of head, liver and skin outside the carcass amount was determined and evaluated.

Production Characteristics

This study aimed to investigate the effect of wool shearing and the environmental factors represented by some hot months of the year (July August and September) on some production characteristics in Turkish Awassi ewes. 18 ewes, aged 3-5 years, with an average weight of about 55±1.43 kg, were used. The ewes divided into three treatments. The first group control (T1) were not shorned the wool, the second group (T2) wool of ewes were sheared at a distance of 1 cm from skin, while third group (T3) wool of ewes were sheared at level of the skin. The value of the weekly Temperature-humidity index THI in this study (32.33, 31.08, 31.70, 32.53, 33.45, 33.83, 34.60, 33.91, 31.90, 31.10, 31.84, 32.74) weeks respectively, while the monthly THI was (31.63, 33.48, 31.82) months of the study in July August and September in a respectively. The results showed a significant difference (p<0.05) between the treatments in body weight that were recorded at the tenth week where the THI reached. While the Second group recorded (2.16 ± 0.802) kg compared to T1, T3 (0.916 ± 0.723) (0.583 ± 0.490) kg respectively. While the total body weight of ewes and birth weight showed non-significant differences between different treated groups. From another hand the result showed non-significant differences feed and significant differences in water consumption between different treated groups. From the current study concluded that the level of shearing wool in Turkish Awassi ewes in conjunction with high temperature has an effect in production characteristics by reducing the effect of heat stress on the ewes.

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.

Induced Changes

Anesthetized cats were supported on electronic scales placed under the head, thorax, abdomen and hindquarters, and the changes in the weights supported by these scales were recorded while blood was withdrawn and while blood and saline were infused. The recorded changes in weight indicated that the abdomen and the thorax both contributed significantly to the volume of withdrawn blood and that infused fluids were taken up by both regions. The blood volume of neither region was conserved at the expense of the other. The average weight change of the hindquarters was 5–10% of the over-all response, but in many cases the weight of the hindquarters was stable during an experiment. The average error in measurement of changes in total body weight was 6%. Interactions between the scales were evaluated by injecting mercury into pouches placed at specific anatomic locations. Interactions did occur, but were not so great as to invalidate the method. Submitted on September 16, 1960

<p class="jbls"><span lang="EN-GB">Apparently healthy wild gray guinea savannah squirrel, totaling fourteen (14) in number were used for this study. 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.

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

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.

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.
