Feed Intake Lab Report

1369 Words6 Pages

The following performance parameters were measured during the feeding trial. 3.4.1 Feed Intake Known quantities of feed was weighed in bags and labelled for each replicate at the beginning of the week. At the end of each week the left over in the feeders was weighed. This was used to obtain the feed intake per week per replicate. The value obtained was divided by seven to obtain the daily feed intake and divided by the number of birds in each replicate to obtain the daily feed intake per bird per day. FI = FWI- FL (Where FI = Feed Intake, FWI= Feed weighed in, FL= Feed left over) 3.4.2 Body Weight Hens were weighed at the start and end of the experimental period and the average hen weight was calculated to determine body weight gain (BW). …show more content…

Colorimetric determination of total protein in serum is based on the biuret reaction. The serum protein reacts with copper sulphate in the presence of sodium hydroxide. The Rochelle salt (K-Na-tartarate) contained in the biuret reagent is utilized to keep the formed cupric hydroxide in solution which gives the blue colour. The absorbencies of the sample (A sample) and of the standard (A standard) were read against the reagent blank in the spectrophotometer at a wavelength of 545nm. The total serum protein concentration (C) was calculated as follows: C (mg/dl) = A sample × concentration of the standard A standard. 3.4.8.2 Albumin Serum albumin was determined using Bromocresol Green (BCG) method (Peter et al 1982). Measurement of serum albumin is based on its quantitative binding to the indicator 5, 5-dicromo-o-cresolsulphonaphthaline (bromocresol green, BCG). Non-haemoloysed serum was mixed with a buffered BCG reagent and incubated at 20-25oC for 5minutes. The absorbance of the sample and that of the standard were measured against the reagent blank at a wavelength of 630nm and albumin was calculated as follows: g/l = Δ A sample / Δ A standard × standard concentration (6%) (Where A = absorbance). 3.4.8.3 Globulin Serum globulin was obtained by subtracting the albumin fraction from the total …show more content…

Serum GOT activity was measured colorimetrically. Non-haemolytic serum was incubated with a buffered mixture of L- aspartate and α- oxoglutarate at 37oC for 12.6 minutes. The initial absorbance was recorded 1 minute after addition of the serum sample and at 1 minute interval thereafter for 3 minutes. The mean absorbance per minute (Δ A/minute) was recorded and used for the calculation of enzyme activity. The absorbance was read at U.V. wavelength 340nm and enzyme activity was calculated as follows: µ/l = ΔE× 3489 (Where E=

However this test has a low sensitivity where some individuals with low result would be considered to be deficient but show no clinical evidence of deficiency and conversely symptoms of deficiency can be seem when the result does not fall into the low range. There is a large ‘grey zone’ or ‘indeterminate range’ between normal and abnormal levels. In order to detect vitamin B12 deficiency, a more sensitive and specific screening test is required. Haptocorrin (HC) and transcobalamin (TC) are transport proteins for vitamin B12 . Transport of vitamin B12 to the tissues is brought about by TC.

The addition signs for each test on serum 2216 illiterates how concentrated the molecule is like purple for example was the most concentrated due to the amount of addition signs in the table. For Macromolecule test 1 and 2 the sample was diluted. Both the concentration and decreased by an equal set of intervals. The volume of distilled water is what was added and the results illustrate how deeply colored each concentration was. Each cup was diluted with the test pertaining to it with a syringe that explain the volume and the concentration is from heating or mixing the sample throughout the investigation.

Milkweed Bug Experiment Lab Report

928 Words | 4 Pages

To test the hypothesis the impact of temperature on milkweed bugs, they will be placed in three different temperature conditions. The temperatures include: 10°C (refrigerated), room temperature 22°C and at 28°C. These various temperatures represent the lowered temperatures from the milkweed bugs optimal temperature (28°C). The day and light cycle for these conditions will be 16L:8D. To test the hypothesis of the effect of light regime on development, milkweed bugs were placed in 22°C condition with a 16L:8D cycle and 22°C condition with a 2.5L:21.5D cycle. About 35 milkweed bug eggs will be placed in a clear container for each treatment group.

We placed three female bean beetles and two male bean beetles in each petri dish. We had a total of three petri dishes, one for each trial. The petri dishes were then placed in constant light under the same conditions for a week. After one week, the data was then collected by counting the number of eggs on each bean by using a light microscope and this number was then recorded and compared to each bean

Horseradish Peroxidase Lab Report

1090 Words | 5 Pages

ABSTRACT To catalyze a reaction, an enzyme will grab on (bind) to one or more reactant molecules. In this experiment we examined how increasing the volume of the extract added to the reaction would affect the rate of the reaction. The enzyme used was horseradish peroxidase which helps catalyze hydrogen peroxide. Using different pH levels, the absorbance rate of the reaction was measured to see at which condition the enzyme worked best. The rates of absorption were calculated using a spectrophotometer in 20 second intervals up to 120 seconds.

The mobile phase used was a mixture of ammonium acetate buffer and acetonitrile at a ratio of 400:600. A flow rate of 1 mL/min was maintained, and the detection wavelength was 292 nm (22). The required studies were carried out to estimate the precision and accuracy of the HPLC method and were found to be within limits [percent coefficient of variation was less than 15%]. Sample preparation briefly involved 0.4 μ membrane filter through which the sample was filtered, diluted with mobile phase, and 10 μL was spiked into

Behavioral Experiment, Short-Term Effects Of Straw And Dispensers

325 Words | 2 Pages

This animal behavioral experiment was conducted to observe clear, short-term effects of straw and the straw applications on pigs that were raised and housed in pens. The researchers’ hypothesis was that both the straw and the straw dispensers would have an observed and clear effect on the attractiveness of the dispensers to selected pigs. The study consisted of a total of 96 pigs in groups of 6 a week and four different types of straw dispensers. For the first two weeks all four of the straw dispensers were presented (one per a pen) afterwards a single type of dispenser was presented each week.

Alkaline Phosphatase Enzyme Lab Report

Introduction 1.1 Aim: To determine the kinetic parameters, Vmax and Km, of the alkaline phosphatase enzyme through the determination of the optimum pH and temperature. 1.2 Theory and Principles (General Background): Enzymes are highly specific protein catalysts that are utilised in chemical reactions in biological systems.1 Enzymes, being catalysts, decrease the activation energy required to convert substrates to products. They do this by attaching to the substrate to form an intermediate; the substrate binds to the active site of the enzyme. Then, another or the same enzyme reacts with the intermediate to form the final product.2 The rate of enzyme-catalysed reactions is influenced by different environmental conditions, such as: concentration

Thalassemia Case Study

3218 Words | 13 Pages

Based on this fact, the primary screening method for all forms of thalassemia relies on red blood cell parameters index cut-offs, which involves an accurate blood count using an electronic blood cell counter. A commonly used approach consisted of a complete blood count to assess the MCV and the MCH (Metcalfe, 2007). The finding of a normal MCV (80fL) in combination with a normal MCH (27pg) would rule out most cases of thalassemia and would require no additional thalassemia testing. Individuals with MCV of less than 80fl and MCH of less than 27pg should be examined further to confirm or exclude the diagnosis of both alpha and beta-thalassemia (The Thalassemia Working Party of the BCSH General Haematology Task Force, 1994; A Working Party of the General Haematology Task Force of the British Committee for Standards in Haematology, 1998). Some screening programs rely on the identification of low MCV alone in the absence of iron deficiency (Ronald, 2006; Ashraf, 2004).
