There is a surplus of Atriplex nummularia Lindl. grazing that can be used as animal feed. This material was harvested to assess the effects on intake, growth, and carcass characteristics of kids. Atriplex replaced alfalfa hay (Medicago sativa L.) in a proportion of 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40% for 60 creole kids weighing 13 kg and was assigned to the diets in a completely randomized design. The process was conducted from March to May. Two males and two females were used from each group to evaluate individual nutrient intake. Height at withers, thoracic diameter, and weight change were evaluated in all the animals. The carcasses of four females per group were evaluated. Offered and rejected hay diet samples were chemically analyzed. Atriplex hay crude protein (CP), metabolizable energy (ME), chlorine (Cl), and sodium (Na) contents were 20.20%, 1.99 Mcal kg -1 , 4.78%, and 6.47% respectively. Hemicellulose (Hc), ash intake, height at withers, thoracic diameter, and carcass component, except for the kidney, were not different (P > 0.05) among treatments. Over 20% of A. nummularia hay content in the diet caused an increase in mineral consumption (P < 0.05). Total body weight gain decreased (P < 0.05) by adding 20% or more A. nummularia hay content in the diet. However, adding up to 20% of A. nummularia hay in the diet did not produce a negative effect and higher percentages decreased weight gains attributable to the high Na and Cl content.

Women have less influence than men in a variety of settings for at least two reasons. First, pervasive gender stereotypes that depict women as less authoritative often cause women to be treated differently by others. Second, research indicates many women use language, tones, or mannerisms that undermine their authority. But it is not yet known how these two explanations interact with each other in real life settings. We created a social media platform to conduct a field experiment to study this issue during the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primary election in the United States. We paid Democrats to discuss their preferred candidates with each other and complete surveys before and after these interactions on our platform. We randomly assigned some respondents to appear to their partners using gendered avatars that did not match their self-reported gender identity, unbeknownst to them. We find that misrepresenting a man as a woman undermines his influence on his partner’s candidate preferences. However, misrepresenting a woman as a man does not increase her influence. We demonstrate that one reason women have lower influence is because male discussion partners are more resistant to influence. Additionally, we find evidence of gender differences in word use. These findings challenge prevailing wisdom that women simply need to “lean in” to overcome gender discrimination and suggest that solutions to improve women’s influence and leadership will require careful, simultaneous attention to both sources of gender inequality.

The effect of long-term administration of acetaminophen to rats on the dietary protein utilization was investigated using protein-sufficient and protein-deficient diets. Fat digestibility, food efficiency and some hepatic parameters were also determined. Results showed that there was a significant decrease in the nitrogen metabolic utilization in the protein-sufficient treated animals compared to the untreated group (0.59 ± 0.03 vs. 0.75 ± 0.03, p < 0.001). The protein-deficient diet and the administration of the drug resulted in lower nitrogen metabolic utilization in either of the two metabolic balances (days 4–11 and 36–42). These changes were not accompanied by variations in the nitrogen digestibility coefficient.
