background: the present study was undertaken to study the larvicidal activity of different extracts of nerium ole- ander leaves, and post-treatment temperature- toxicity relationship of these extracts against culex pipiens. further, the most potent extract was used to evaluate its biological and genotoxic activities. methods: crude extracts of n. oleander leaves were prepared using water, chlor...

Abstract The objectives were to determine the digestible energy (DE) and metabolizable (ME) concentrations in black solider fly (BSF; Hermetia illucens) larvae fed pigs develop prediction equations for BSF larvae. On a dry matter (DM) basis, 4 sources of defatted larva meal contained 4,402 5,173 kcal/kg gross (GE), 46.5 62.0% crude protein (CP), 9.0 14.3% ether extract (EE), 13.7 25.3% ash sour...

In the present study, the petroleum ether and alcoholic extract of Morinda citrifolia L. (Noni) leaves were subjected to preliminary screening for antimicrobial and anthelmintic activity. The alcoholic extract exhibited significant anti bacterial, antifungal activity, comparable to the standard drug tetracycline. The petroleum ether and alcoholic extract were evaluated for Anthelmintic activity...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the use calcium oxide (CaO) on nutritive profile, digestibility, and carbohydrate fractionation three sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum hybrids) genotypes: IAC-862480, SP-791011, CTC-3. Four CaO levels (0, 1.5, 3.0, 4.5% a fresh matter basis) were used in 3 × 4 factorial scheme, whose factors genotypes four oxide. chemical composition, fractionation, t...

  In this study we investigated the bronchodilatory and anticholinergic effects of the aqueous extract (AE), brewed extract (BE) and ethanol extract (EE) of Polygonum avicular in comparison with saline (S) on isolated tracheal chains of the guinea pig. Due to the probable confounding effect of ethanol in the EE, the effects of this extract were also compared with 96 % ethanol. None of the plant...

Objective(s): We examined the effects of endurance exercise in the presence of Bunium persicum extract administration on lipid profile and cardiorespiratory capacity in hypercholesterolemic male mice. Materials and Methods: Forty male hypercholesterolemic mice were divided into four groups: Vehicle, Endurance exercise (EE), Bunium persicum extract (BPE), and EE + BPE. The exercise protocol was ...

objectives: this study was designed to investigate the potential phyllanthus niruri extracts in promotion of hair growth. materials and methods: here, we studied the hair growth promoting activity of petroleum ether extract of p. niruri following its topical administration. alopecia was induced in albino rats by subcutaneous administration of testosterone for 21 days. evaluation of hair loss in...

We studied the effects of use Lactobacillus buchneri (Lb) and maize pre-ensiling composition on aerobic silage stability in a panel 88 ensiled 60 days 21 L buckets. Lb was dispensed at three dosages compared to control (pure water). The prognostic multiparametric risk score used find factors related chemical fresh plant, associated with onset instability silage. A multivariable Akaike’s Informa...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to evaluate the intake and nutrient digestibility, nitrogen balance and ruminal ammonia nitrogen in lambs of diets containing different levels of residual frying oil. METHODS Levels of 0, 20, 40, 60, and 80 g/kg dry matter (DM) base of residual frying oil in the diets of lambs were evaluated. Five castrated lambs with initial body weights of 36.8±3.3 ...

Recently, drug resistance due to the extensive abuse and over-use of antibiotics has become an increasingly serious problem, making the development of alternative antibiotics a very urgent issue. In this study, the Chinese herbal medicine, Polygonum cuspidatum, was extracted with 95% ethanol and the crude extracts were further purified by partition based on solvent polarity. The antimicrobial a...
