Aromatic plants and laser beam wavelength in the red range of visible spectra (623.8 nm), most commonly used for treating plant species, were selected. As there is not much information references, it necessary to set a scale with qualitative partially quantitative evaluations results. Specimens thyme seed (Thymus vulgaris) selected as aromatic studying effect low-power lasers on development, co...

Necrotic enteritis in chicken is caused by the Clostridium perfringens, which have been found on almost chickensand for decades antimicrobial therapy was only strategy to control it.
