Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImmune Response and Pasteurella Resistance in Rabbits Fed Diets Containing Various Amounts of Black Cumin SeedsNabiela M. El Bagir, Imtitha T.O. Farah, Safia M.B. Elhag et al.Problem statement: The consumption of black cumin (Nigella sativa) seed has immunomodulatory and anti-bacterial activity, but in rabbits this had not yet been tested. Approach: In the present studies, rabbits were fed diets without or with black cumin seed and antibody production, phagocytotic activity, hypersensitivity and resistance against Pasteurellosis were assessed. Results: Feeding black cumin seed significantly increased serum concentrations … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,526 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproving Performance of Replacement Heifers in Hot Arid Environment Under Intensive ManagementM. A. Razzaque, S. A. Mohammed, T. Al- Mutawa, M. BedairProblem statement: Imported Holstein Friesian dairy cattle are exposed to hot arid climate in feedlot management in Kuwait. Desert climate is extreme reaching high 45-50°C in summer and low -4ºC in winter at day and night respectively. High calf mortality, poor reproduction and milk yields were main constraints to viable dairying. The objectives of this study were to assess the … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 6,986 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFoliar and Soil Application of Potassium Nitrate Affects the Tolerance of Salinity and Canopy Growth of Perennial Ryegrass (Lolium perenne var Boulevard)S.J. Tabatabaei, F. FakhrzadTwo experiments were conducted to determine the effect of KNO3 application on perennial ryegrass salinity tolerance. Two NaCl levels (0 and 60 mM) factorially combined with four KNO3 (KN) levels (0, 5, 10 and 15 mM) as the treatments. The KN was applied either to the soil or foliarly sprayed. The results showed that in both experiments the increased salinity … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 8,060 accessesView PDFCite
