This study was conducted to estimate the heavy metal pollution in groundwater, soil, fruits, and vegetables within cement industry its vicinity. Seven different fruits seven metals (Cd, Zn, Ni, Co, Cu, Cr, Mn) were selected for analysis fruit, vegetable samples by atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). Results of this compared with National International Standards Pak NSWQD, WHO, USEPA. The pH s...

Fertilization of soybean with zinc (Zn) had received considerable attention in recent years due to world-wide spread its deficiency soils and also malnutrition infants children’s. Soybean is high nutrient exhausting crop but sensitive soil. Application Zn fertilizers could be a viable option fulfil this promote yield growth parameters. This experiment was conducted at Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Vi...

An experiment was conducted on 16 crossbred bulls (about 2 years of age, 316.2+/-0.77 kg average body weight), divided into groups I, II, III and IV to study the effect of different levels of Zn supplementation from inorganic and organic sources on semen quality. The animals in the first 3 groups were supplemented with 0, 35 and 70 ppm Zn from Zn sulfate, respectively and the animals in-group I...

27 Here we explore enrichments in paleomarine Zn as recorded by authigenic iron oxides 28 including Precambrian iron formations, ironstones and Phanerozoic hydrothermal 29 exhalites. This compilation of new and literature-based iron formation analyses track 30 dissolved Zn abundances and constrain the magnitude of the marine reservoir over 31 geological time. Overall, the iron formation record ...

ABSTRACT An experiment was designed to compare cycles of selection of four maize genotypes for ear- and grain-quality characteristics, interactions with Aspergillus flavus and Fusarium verticillioides infection, and insect ear infestation in two seasons. Mean infection levels by A. flavus and F. verticillioides were significantly higher in inoculated rows than in the controls. The F. verticilli...

A total of 360 barrows (DNA 600 × 241; initially 12.1 ± 0.07 lb) were used in a 38-d growth study to evaluate the effects including folic acid (Rovimix Folic Acid, DSM, Parsippany, NJ) with or without pharmacological levels Zn provided by zinc oxide (ZnO) on performance and fecal characteristics nursery pigs. Pigs weaned at approximately 19 d age randomly allotted 1 6 dietary treatments. 72 pen...

A new 3D porous anionic MOF (AMOF-1) based on Zn(II) and a flexible tetracarboxylate linker has been synthesized. AMOF-1 showed potential for capture and removal of toxic metal ions from aqueous solution with a detection limit in the ppm level. The Cu(II)@AMOF-1' hybrid obtained by post-synthetic metalation is studied as a heterogeneous catalyst for the synthesis of benzimidazole derivatives.

Two studies were conducted to compare the availability of trace minerals offered to Brahman-crossbred heifers in either grain- or molasses-based supplements. Heifers were randomly assigned to bahiagrass pastures of equal size (n = 3 and 2 heifers/ pasture with 6 and 4 pastures/treatment for Experiment 1 and 2, respectively). Two supplements were formulated using corn and cottonseed meal (DRY) o...

This study determined the nutritive value of Indigoferra gerardiana, Marisine affricana, Impashion bicolor and Adhatoda vesica shrubs for ruminants. Chemical analysis revealed that dry matter (DM) content varied from 22.2% (Dodonia viscosa) to 33.6% (Debregeasia salicifolia). Maximum crude protein (19.8%) was observed for Anisomoles indica, while, neutral detergent fiber was greater (67%) in Do...

Abstract Cow’s milk is important in a healthy food intake because of its high calcium content. However, the contamination can be harmful to health. The acidity cow’s decreases with increase heavy metals concentration that poisonous body. This research aims investigate content (Cd, Pb, Zn, Cu, Cr) and minerals Ca contained fresh samples from two different locations, which are Padang city Panjang...
