  • Native Or Suitable Plants City of Mccall
    Native or Suitable Plants City of McCall The following list of plants is presented to assist the developer, business owner, or homeowner in selecting plants for landscaping. The list is by no means complete, but is a recommended selection of plants which are either native or have been successfully introduced to our area. Successful landscaping, however, requires much more than just the selection of plants. Unless you have some experience, it is suggested than you employ the services of a trained or otherwise experienced landscaper, arborist, or forester. For best results it is recommended that careful consideration be made in purchasing the plants from the local nurseries (i.e. Cascade, McCall, and New Meadows). Plants brought in from the Treasure Valley may not survive our local weather conditions, microsites, and higher elevations. Timing can also be a serious consideration as the plants may have already broken dormancy and can be damaged by our late frosts. Appendix B SELECTED IDAHO NATIVE PLANTS SUITABLE FOR VALLEY COUNTY GROWING CONDITIONS Trees & Shrubs Acer circinatum (Vine Maple). Shrub or small tree 15-20' tall, Pacific Northwest native.

  • Rhus Coriaria L.) and Thyme (Thymus Vulgaris
    animals Article Growth, Carcass Composition, Haematology and Immunity of Broilers Supplemented with Sumac Berries (Rhus coriaria L.) and Thyme (Thymus vulgaris) Amir Ahmadian 1, Alireza Seidavi 1,* and Clive J. C. Phillips 2 1 Department of Animal Science, Rasht Branch, Islamic Azad University, Rasht 41335-3516, Iran; [email protected] 2 Centre for Animal Welfare and Ethics, School of Veterinary Science, University of Queensland, Gatton, QLD 4343, Australia; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +989-11-331-3073 Received: 26 January 2020; Accepted: 16 March 2020; Published: 19 March 2020 Simple Summary: Widespread use of antibiotics is known to cause resistance in bacteria, yet they are routinely used to improve growth performance in meat chickens. We investigated two medicinal plants, thyme and sumac berries, for their ability to function as an alternative to antibiotics in the diet of broilers. The actual plants or parts of the plants have rarely been fed before as supplements, mostly their extracted oils have been used instead. In our study, they were fed at 1–3% of the diet to investigate if the effects were dependent on the dose. We found evidence of improved immune systems with both medicinal plants when the chickens were tested for resistance to Newcastle Disease and influenza. Sumac berries, and to a lesser extent thyme, reduced the fat content of the birds’ abdomen, by 62 and 41%, respectively, reflecting an observed reduction in lipids in the blood. It is concluded that these two medicinal plants offer potential to replace antibiotics in the diet of meat chickens, as well as offering benefits in reducing the fat content of the birds.

It was an updating and expansion of one prepared by Albert F. Hill in his 1952 textbook Economic Botany... and it simply got out of hand. I also thought it would be useful to add a brief description of how the plant is used and what part yields the product. There are a number of more or less encyclopedic references on this subject. The number of plants and the details of their uses is simply overwhelming. In the list below, I have attempted to focus on those plants that are of direct economic importance to us.
