ABSRACT In the productive benefits of commercial microbial phytase (Ronozyme) were tested. Five experiments were run. In experiment one, four levels of phytase 0, 250, 500 and 750 FYT/U were used at 23%CP , 0.48%P and 3 Mcal/kg feed, using seventy two day-old unsexed Ross-308 broiler chicks, allotted randomly to four treatments× three replicates, each of six chicks, and experimentally fed for 42 days. Experiments 2-5 used high (0.45%) and low (0.30%) P with either high (23%) or low (19....

ABSTRACT This study deals with the physical aspects of sedimentation in Saldanha Bay and Langebaan Lagoon. On the basis of detailed textural investigations the depositional history of the study area has been established. The sediments in the bay and in the lagoon consist of a fine terrigenous quartz population and a coarser skeletal carbonate population, which have been mixed in various proportions. In order to gain size parameters that are more closely related to the hydraulic nature of depo...
Abstract The difficulties involved in the taxonomy of the genus Crassula, such as the extensive variation and often difficult species complexes, vicariousness and hybridization, are sketched against a historical background. These difficulties have prompted the author to review concepts of taxa from subspecific to generic level and have also le~ to the approach adopted in this work. It is argued that in several genera and sections, as previously recognized, too much stress was placed on the se...
