Several faecal examination techniques have shown variable sensitivity in demonstrating Spirocerca lupi (S. lupi) eggs. The objective of this study was to determine which faecal examination technique, including a novel modified centrifugal flotation technique, was most sensitive to diagnose spirocercosis. Ten coproscopic examinations were performed on faeces collected from 33 dogs confirmed endo...

Low Zinc (Zn) availability in alkaline calcareous soil is one of the major causes low cereal yield and quality. Conventional application Zn sulfate (ZnSO4) fertilizer through attains minimal efficiency as it readily fixed such soils. Oxozinc nanofiber (ZnONF) was evaluated for wheat biofortification using different methods to tackle this issue. Pots triplicate (each with 7 kg soil) were arrange...

Background: A field experiment was conducted during two consecutive Rabi (winter) seasons of 2016-17 and 2017-18 at Sardarkrushinagar Dantiwada Agricultural University, Sardarkrushinagar, Gujarat, India to assess the impact wheat varieties integrated nutrient management practices on content uptake soil status. The experimental plot loamy sand in texture, low organic carbon (0.24%), available ni...

The inhibition of corrosion behaviour carbon steel in Well water has been studied by the anticorrosion natural Jeera dye (JD) and ZnSO4 system. Results Obtained Weight loss study shows 98% Maximum Inhibition efficiency at 10 ml Extract 50ppm ZnSO4. Synergistic parameters suggest that a synergistic effect existing between extract Zn2+.Statistical “F” test also revealed this effect. Surface analy...

Atazanavir (ATV) causes an elevation of unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia (HBR) as a result of UDP glucuronyltransferase (UGT) 1A1 inhibition. Zinc sulfate (ZnSO4) reduces unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia in individuals with Gilbert's syndrome. We assessed the changes in total, conjugated, and unconjugated bilirubin and the effect on ATV pharmacokinetics (PK) after single and 14-day dosing of ZnSO...

We conducted two experiments using marginally Zn-deficient (-Zn) calves to determine which supplemental chemical form of Zn would most rapidly reverse certain Zn deficiency signs and to determine whether a change in protein turnover had occurred in Zn deficiency. In Exp. 1, 40 crossbred beef heifers were allocated by BW to four groups. The control group received 23 mg Zn/kg diet DM from ZnSO4 s...

Glycyl-L-phenylalanine 2-naphthylamide (Gly-L-Phe-2-NNap), a cathepsin C substrate, induces an increase of the free and unsedimentable activities of this enzyme when incubated with a total mitochondrial fraction of rat liver. 1 mM-ZnSO4 considerably inhibits the cathepsin C total activity, measured with Gly-L-Phe-2-NNap as the substrate, in the presence of Triton X-100. The inhibition is marked...

Historically most residential wood preservatives were aqueous soluble metal formulations, but recently metals ground to submicron size and dispersed in water to give particulate formulations have gained importance. In this study, the specific role nano-zinc oxide (ZnO) particle size and leach resistance plays in termite mortality resulting from exposure to particulate ZnO-treated wood was inves...
