Four trials were conducted to determine the effect of different levels of nodular worm (Oesophagostomum spp.) infection on the performance of growing-finishing swine and on digestion and absorption of nutrients by the growing pig. In each of two growing-finishing trials, 48 crossbred pigs (average body weight 26.6 kg in trial 1 and 24.4 kg in trial 2) were individually housed and given a single...

Lead is a blue-gray and highly toxic divalent metal that occurs naturally in the earth's crust and is spread throughout the environment by various human activities. The efficacy of garlic (Allium sativum) to reduce hepatotoxicity induced by lead nitrate was evaluated experimentally in male mice. Oral treatment with lead nitrate at a dose of 50 mg/kg body weight daily for 40 days (1/45 of LD50) ...

Efficacy of albendazole, metronidazole and paromomycin was evaluated against Cryptosporidium in experimentally infected cattle. Cryptosporidium oocysts harvested from cattle reared at different livestock farms identified by microscopic morphology and PCR were used for experimental infection. Oocyst per gram (OPG) count was increased in control (untreated) cattle. A single dose of 10mg/kg body w...

BACKGROUND The epidemiological evidence supporting a causal link between Mediterranean diets and body weight is contrasting. We evaluated the effect of Mediterranean diets on body weight in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) using a meta-analysis. METHODS We searched English and non-English publications in PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials from in...

Young growing rats weighing approximately 83 g were fed on diets containing kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) lectin (phytohaemagglutinin, PHA) in the range of 0-0.45 g/kg body weight for 10 d to ascertain whether there was a minimum dose below which the lectin had no significant effect on body and skeletal muscle weights in comparison with pair-fed lectin-free controls. Averaged over all experi...
