The impact of Cassytha filiformis butanol fraction to the pregnancy and fetal development had been conducted. The fertilized mice were treated withbutanol fraction of C. filiformis at doses of 2.5; 5; 10; and 20 mg/kg of body weight (BW) orally for 5 consecutive days during first, second, and thirdperiods of pregnancy. Parent BW was monitored and the fetal number, BW, death and/or resorptive site and defect were measured. ANOVA followedby Duncan multiple range test (significance at p<0.05) was performed to analyze data. The parent weight was reduced according to fraction doseand the period of pregnancy and the interaction of those factors (p<0.01). Only one mouse treated during the first period became pregnant with lessfetus number (p<0.05) but all of treated during the second and third period but death, resorptive site and underdeveloped fetus were found. Theseindicated the butanol fraction of C. filiformis produced infertility and slowed pregnancy development and produce fetal defect on mice.

The addition of katuk leaf meal (saurupus androgynus l.merr) in feeds on body weight gain and scrotal circumference  male ettawa grade goatsABSTRACT. This research was aimed to study the effect of addition of katuk leaf meal (Sauropus androgynus L. Merr)  in feed on body weight gain and scrotal circumference of male Ettawa grade goat. The research lasted for eight months, starting Agustus 2012 to Maret 2013, with feeding trial for two months. Twenty male Ettawa grade goats of 18 to 24 months old, were divided into 4 treatment groups. Treatment groups were added with 0% Katuk leaf meal (R0);  5% (R1);  10%  (R2) and 15%  (R3), with 5  goats in each replication. Treatment diets were feed in the morning and afternoon for 60 days. Weighing body weight and measuring scrotal circumference was done every week. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and if there was significantly different, the data were further tested using Duncan multiple range test. The result shows that the body weight gain of the treatment were, R0 (2,39 ± 0,43 kg); R1 (2,84 ± 0,36 kg); R2 (2,85 ± 0,20 kg) and R3 (3,42 ± 0,78 kg) respectively. Scrotal circumference were, R0 (0,74 ± 0,10 cm); R1 (1,24 ± 0,26 cm); R2 (1,26 ± 0,40 cm) dan R3 (1,32 ± 0,32 cm) respectively. The result of this research indicated that the addition of katuk leaf meal in feed had significant effects (P0,05) on body weight gain and scrotal circumference of Ettawa grade goat.

The impact of captive rearing of snails (Archachatina marginata) on the bio-accumulation of some heavy metals (HMs) (Fe, Mn, Cu, Pb, Co, Ni, Cd and Cr) in the meat and haemolymph was evaluated in a two treatment trial (snails from the wild, (SW) and captive reared snails, (SC), each comprised of sixty snails of three replicates. Alldata collected (using standard analytical procedures) were subjected to ANOVA and significant means separated by Duncan Multiple Range Test. The trial revealed that the meat of SC had outstanding (P>0.05) Fe (22.30mg/kg) and Mn(4.79mg/kg), with no significant variation for DM, while the haemolymph recorded non-significant (P< 0.05) concentration for (Mn, Pb, Co, Ni, Cd and Cr). Its levels of Fe (3.50mg/kg) and Cu (2.06mg/kg) were however significantly (P>0.05) impacted by captive rearing. Generally the level of Cr in the meat and haemolymph were higher than 0.05mg/kg recommendation by WHO, hence snail meat and haemolymph must be consumed with caution and guidance.

Durian (Durio zibethinus L.) is one of the most consumed and liked fruit in Indonesia, but there was no evidence about the safety of consuming durian during pregnancy. This study was determine the level of safety of durian fruit consumption during pregnancy by conducted teratogenicity test of durian fruit (Durio zibethinus Linn) on fetuses of white mice (Mus musculus L). Teratogenicity test was conducted in vivo, by step: preparation of experimental animal, observation during administration, laparotomy, fixation and observation of morphological defects. Data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). If the results were significant (P < 0.05), the analysis was continued using Duncan Multiple Range Test. Administration durian during pregnancy did not affects the bodyweight of the mice (P > 0,05), but significantly influences the number of fetuses (P < 0,05) and its body weight (P < 0,05). Consumption of durian during pregnancy is safe in 32,5 mg / KgBW, but it has the potential teratogenic in 65 mg / KgBW and 97,5 mg/KgBW groups. Teratogen effects that were found in several fetuses were underweight, dead, hemorrhage, maternal death and there were resorption sites.

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic caused a number of changes in social life around the world. In response to the growing number of infections, some countries have introduced restrictions that may have resulted in the change of the lifestyle. The aim of our study was to investigate the impact of the lockdown on body weight, physical activity and some eating habits of the society. The survey involving 183 people was conducted using a proprietary questionnaire. The mean age of the study participants was 33 ± 11 and mean height 169 ± 8 cm. An average increase in body weight was observed in 49.18% by 0.63 ± 3.7 kg which was the result of a decrease in physical activity and an increase in food consumption. We also observed a decrease in PAL from 1.64 ± 0.15 to 1.58 ± 0.13 and changes in the amount of food and individual groups of products consumption, including alcohol. Among the study participants who did not lose body mass, there was an average weight gain of 2.25 ± 2.5 kg. In conclusion, an increase of weight was shown in about half of the respondents in the study group which was associated with a decrease in physical activity and an increase in the consumption of total food and high energy density products.

Abstract This paper reviews rice procurement operations of Government of India from the standpoints of cost of procurement as well as effectiveness in supporting farmers’ incomes. The two channels in use for procuring rice till 2015, were custom milling of rice and levy. In the first, the government bought paddy directly from farmers at the minimum support price (MSP) and got it milled from private millers; while in the second, it purchased rice from private millers at a pre-announced levy price thus providing indirect price support to farmers. Secondary data reveal that levy, despite implying lower cost of procurement was discriminated against till about a decade back and eventually abolished in 2015 in favor of custom milling, better trusted to provide minimum price support. We analyze data from auctions of paddy from a year when levy was still important to investigate its impact on farmers’ revenues. We use semi-nonparametric estimates of millers’ values to simulate farmers’ expected revenues and find these to be rather close to the MSP; a closer analysis shows that bidder competition is critical to this result. Finally, we use our estimates to quantify the impact of change in levy price on farmers’ revenues and use this to discuss ways to revive the levy channel.
