Biofloc culture system is an eco-friendly method, because it limits the water usage and effluent discharge to surrounding environment. The present study aimed investigate immune potential, growth, survival of Indian white shrimp Penaeus indicus, post larvae in biofloc technology (BFT) with C:N ratio 15:1 during nursery phase different salinities (5‰, 15‰, 25‰, 30‰, 35‰). Experiments were conduc...

The effects of different dietary energy levels [100 and 170% for maintenance (M) and high energy (1.7M), respectively] on metabolic, endocrine, and reproductive parameters were evaluated in nonlactating Bos indicus (Gir; n=14) and Bos taurus (Holstein; n=14) cows submitted to ultrasound-guided ovum pick-up followed by in vitro embryo production. The oocyte donor cows were housed in a tiestall s...

CSN1S1is one of the major genes encoding milk proteins of mammals. In this study we determined allele frequencies of CSN1S1-5` flanking region as well as exon 17 variants and their effects on milk traits in three indigenous cattle breeds Mazandarani, Golpaygani (Bos indicus) and Sarabi (Bos taurus) and Holstein cattle in Iran. CSN1S1*B variant was nearly fixed in Holstein but ranged from 0.40 t...

The embryo recovery following superovulatory (SOV) treatment using equine chorionic gonadotrophin (eCG) and porcine follicular stimulating hormone (FSH) in native Rathi (Bos indicus) cattle was studied. In treatment I (n=33) 2000 IU of eCG was injected on day 8 of the natural estrus. In treatment II (n=17) donors received six 12 h im descending doses of porcine FSH (Super OV, Ausa International...

The lipid lowering activity of Anthocephalus indicus (family Rubiaceae; Hindi name Kadamba) root extract has been studied in triton WR-1339 induced hyperlipidemia in rats. In this model, feeding with root extract (500 mg kg(-1) b.w.) lowered plasma lipids and reactivated post-heparin lipolytic activity in hyperlipidemic rats. Furthermore, the root extract (50-500 μM) inhibited the generation of...

The basic objective of the present work was to assess the wound healing activity of Sphaeranthus Indicus flower head by providing better tissue formation and protection against microbial invasion. Various ointments of extracts in various proportions were prepared and subjected for assessment of wound healing activity in albino rats. Based on the comparison of wound healing activity of various f...

Bioinformatics Study of mtDNA Genes in Two Subspecies Holstein (Bos taurus) and Cholistani indicus) Cattle Using RNA-Seq Data

We report progressive necrotizing fungal cellulitis and myositis in the leg of a patient with glioblastoma multiforme treated with temozolomide and corticosteroids. While the morphologic appearance of the isolate and its ability to grow at temperatures greater than 32°C were suggestive of Mycoleptodiscus indicus, some of the conidia were atypical for this species in that they had single septa a...
