The Otolithes ruber is considered a valuable fish in the Indo-West Pacific. Estimates of the Q/B ratio and parameters of equations to ‘predict’ Q/B values for O. ruber in northwestern part of the Persian Gulf and the effects of different age-groups (age 1 to 6 year) on prey are presented. The age and food item of O. ruber were recorded on data collected from monthly samplings by bottom tra...

This study evaluated the ameliorative effects of Antox® and Bactofort® on clinico-pathological changes in ISA Brown chicks inoculated with a very virulent infectious bursal disease virus (vvIBDV). Two hundred (200) day-old were randomly assigned into four groups (A to D) 50 birds each. Groups A, B administered Antox®, Bactofort®, respectively from 42 days age, vvIBDV at 28 age. C, D served as p...

A total of 288 broiler chickens (1 d old) were used in a 42-d growth trial to study the effects of chicory (Cichorium intybus) and nettle (Urtica dioica) with or without multi-enzyme on growth performance, carcass traits, and biochemical parameters. The corn-soybean based control diet and 8 experimental diets were fed to each of 3 pens of chickens (12 chickens/pen). Treatments were as follows: ...

Avian influenza (AI) is a highly contagious disease causing significant economic losses worldwide. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of mannan-oligosaccharide (MOS) on tracheal and cloacal virus shedding in AI challenged broilers and contamination of environment with H9N2. A total of 300 1-day-old-broiler chicks were randomly divided into 3 groups (A, B and C) and supplemented 0.2...

This study investigated the toxic effects of dried pulverized Caloncoba echinata leaves on the hematology, blood biochemistry and vital organs of male albino rats. Twenty adult male rats were randomly divided into four groups of five rats each. Groups A, B and C were fed 25.00%, 15.00% and 5.00% of pulverized C. echinata leaves in feed respectively while group D was given norm...
