Ensiling, a lactic acid fermentation process, is mainly used to preserve biomass. In addition, it has been shown affect seed viability of some plant species. The extent which this makes ensiling suitable as weed control measure, however, not yet determined. Both the range controllable species and parameters an process that safely kills seeds are still undefined. We aimed determine effect varyin...

This study was conduction to find a suitable and cheap plant as a source for extracting vegetable protease enzymes and investigate the effect of these enzymes for producing whey protein hydrolysate. The extract prepared from the composite weed cichorium pumilum had a satisfactory protease activity, each ml of this extract prepared from 0.1 gm dried cichorium weed stems.An alkaline and acidic ci...

Sheep and cattle farmers need pastoral systems that are more productive and environmentally sustainable. The role that high feeding value herb and legume forage species can play in the farms of the future is highlighted. It is shown that species such as chicory (Cichorium intybus), plantain (Plantago lanceolata), red clover (Trifolium pratense) and white clover (T.repens) can provide live weigh...

This work deals with the effects of the alcoholic extracts of 15 plants (collected from the northern region of Pakistan) on isolated guinea-pig ileum preparation. Dried powdered plant material was extracted with alcohol. The extract obtained after the removal of the alcohol was triturated with pet-ether (40-60°) and then charcoaled, filtered and dried under vacuum. The isolated guinea-pig ileum...

Acute, subchronic and chronic effects of the P-9801091 plant mixture extract at a dose of 20 mg/kg body mass were assessed in serum of healthy CBA/HZg mice at 24 hours, 7 days, 3 months and 6 months of treatment (experimental group), and compared with the values obtained in the control group of untreated healthy CBA/HZg mice. The P-9801091 plant mixture extract is an antihyperglycemic preparati...
