POSSIBILITY OF USING THE CHAMOMILE HERB (Matricaria chamomilla L.) IN SHEEP FEEDING
No full textKamilica (Matricaria chamomilla L.) je jedna od najstarijih ljekovitih biljaka poznatih čovječanstvu koja pripada porodici Asteraceae. Kamilica kao korovska vrsta ujedno je i najpoznatija ljekovita biljaka, porijeklom je iz južne i istočne Europe, a koristi se u medicinske svrhe diljem svijeta. U posljednjih godina sve se više upotrebljava kao i stočna hrana prvotno zbog toga što je dobar antireumatik, antibaktericid, sedativ i antiseptik. Također, stimulira i imunosni sustav, a ima antibakterijsko, antivirusno ili protuupalno djelovanje kao i antioksidativna svojstva. Stoga je cilj ovoga rada bio prikazati nutritivne karakteristike zaostale zelene mase (herbe) kamilice i mogućnost njezine primjene kao hrane za ovce. Za potrebe izrade ovog rada analizirani su uzorci zaostale zelene mase (herbe) kamilice iz konvencionalnog i ekološkog načina proizvodnje s područja Virovitičko - podravske županije. Dobiveni rezultati laboratorijske analitike su uspoređeni s prosječnim vrijednostima za sijeno s istog područja. Rezultati istraživanja pokazali su da herba kamilice ima sličan kemijski sastav i hranidbenu vrijednost kao i sijeno livadnih trava odnosno da između istraživanih parametara (ST, S pepeo, SP, SM, SV, S šećeri, ME i NEL) nema statistički značajne razlike, izuzev sadržaja NDV (P<0,001). Naime, sijeno kamilice ima manji sadržaj NDV u odnosu na livadno sijeno. Obzirom na slične hranidbene vrijednosti, dodatak herbe kamilice u hranidbi ovaca prihvatljiv je na mjestu sijena. Također, potrebna su daljnja istraživanja vezana za utjecaj sijena kamilice na proizvodne odlike ovaca.Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla L.) is one of the oldest medicinal plants known to mankind and belongs to the Asteraceae family. Chamomile, as a weed species, is also the most famous medicinal plant, it originates from southern and eastern Europe, and is used for medicinal purposes all over the world. In recent years, it has been increasingly used as animal feed primarily because it is a good antirheumatic, antibacterial, sedative and antiseptic. It also stimulates the immune system and has antibacterial, antiviral or anti-inflammatory effects as well as antioxidant properties. Therefore, the aim of this work was to show the nutritional characteristics of the residual green mass (herb) of chamomile and the possibility of its use as feed for sheep. For the purposes of this paper, samples of residual green mass (herb) of chamomile from conventional and ecological production methods from Virovitica - Podravina County were analyzed. The obtained results of laboratory analysis were compared with the average values for hay from the same area. The results of the research showed that chamomile herb has a similar chemical composition and nutritional value as meadow grass hay, that is, that there are no statistically significant differences between the investigated parameters (ST, S ash, SP, SM, SV, S sugars, ME and NEL), except for the content NDV (P<0.001). Namely, chamomile hay has a lower NDV content compared to meadow hay. Given the similar nutritional values, the addition of chamomile herb in sheep feed is acceptable in place of hay. Also, further research is needed related to the influence of chamomile hay on the production characteristics of shee
UZGOJ JEZERSKO-SOLČEVSKIH OVACA NA PODRUČJU REPUBLIKE HRVATSKE
No full textJezersko-solčavska ovca je slovenska autohtona pasmina poznata i kao „Slovenka“, najviše je raširena u kontinentalnom djelu Hrvatske. Snaţne je konstitucije, ima prepoznatljiv oblik glave tzv. konveksan profil. Prosječna masa ovaca je oko 70 kg, ovnova do 100 kg. Ima kvalitetniju vunu nego pramenka. Vrlo je dobre plodnosti. Masa janjadi pri roĎenju je 4 kg. a u dobi od 4 mjeseca janjad moţe postići masu od 30 do 35 kg. Uzgaja se i u Republici Hrvatskoj, a razlog njenog uzgoja je uz otpornost i dobru prilagodbu, poliestričnost i dobra kvaliteta janjećeg mesa. Ako se kod uzgoja jezersko-solčavske ovce osiguraju optimalni uvjeti drţanja i poboljšana hranidba, ona moţe osigurati kvalitetnu janjetinu tokom cijele godine, što povećava konkurentnost proizvoĎača i osigurava bolju cijenu s obzirom na inače sezonsku ponudu janjadi u Republici Hrvatskoj. Prilikom sastavljanja primjera obroka u radu su odabrana krmiva koja se najviše koriste u hranidbi ovaca u Hrvatskoj i mogu posluţiti kao dobar primjer uzgajivačima
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
