The current study investigated the effect of short-term selection for four week body weight (BW) on performance of divergent lines of Japanese quail and their crosses. The mean of BW at hatching time, one, two, three and four week oldand BW at sexual maturity time, age at sexual maturity, number of eggs (from 50 to 100 days old), mean of egg weight, percentage of fertility and hatchability in e...

This study was conducted to investigate the efficacy of the simultaneous application of near-infrared (NIR) heating and UV irradiation for reducing populations of food-borne pathogens, including Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium and Escherichia coli O157:H7 in red pepper powder and to clarify the mechanisms of the lethal effect of the NIR-UV combined treatment. Also, the effect of the com...

Nickel and mercury are naturally occurring, highly toxic environmental pollutant. The goal of the present study was investigate the effects of nickel and mercury exposure on the biochemical contents of the muscles tissues of fish Lates calcarifer by using Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. FT-IR spectra reveal significant differences in absorbance intensities between the control. ...

The Mithun (Bos frontalis), a semi-wild animal, which is yet to be fully domesticated, is mainly confined in India, Bhutan, Myanmar, Bangladesh and hilly tracts of China and Malaysia. In India it is only found in the hilly tracts of four states of North Eastern India namely Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur and Mizoram, in descending order of population. Mithun plays a significantly importan...

The homologous proteins from the egg whites of different avian species offer excellent opportunities for the study of the comparative and genetic biochemistry of proteins. Comparative studies of avian egg whites have utilized electrophoretic (l-4), immunological (5, 6), and specific biochemical (7, 8) analyses. These studies have all shown significant, and in some instances large, differences b...

The objective of the study, therefore, is to review and package the current reference values of some haemotological and serum biochemical of indigenous pastoral cattle in tropical Africa. Haematological investigation has gained a global popularity as a prime diagnostic and management tool in veterinary practice. It ascertains the physiological, nutritional and pathological status of an animal a...
