The authors see energy components extremely relevant for animals and their health. Due to this fact, diets with energy components that satisfy pets with nutrients at different stages of growth is significant issue in veterinary nutrition. This could be achieved when applying diets that contain balanced necessary components. The research aimed at exploring the impact caused by ready diets on the growth and development of dogs that differ in age and breed is fragmentary one. The authors make a case about necessity for detailed investigation the growth parameters of animals when feeding them with this kind of diets in the low temperatures of Western Siberia. The impact of the finished ration on puppy growth and development was investigated in one of the s animal shelters in Novosibirsk in 2016. The main food used in the experiment for feeding puppies was YUMMI PREMIUM; the feed contains proteins - 26%, fats - 10, fiber - 7, ashes - 7, moisture - no more than 10, calcium – 1 and phosphorus - 0,8%. The authors observed that 50% are meat ingredients (beef, chicken, by-products), 35 are cereals (wheat, buckwheat), vegetable oils, dried milk and 5% are vegetables, chicken fat, mannanoligosaccharides (MOS), Shidiger yucca extract and sea kelp extract. The following food additives are included in the feed: Vitamin A (17000 IU/ kg), vitamin D3 (1700 IU/kg), vitamin E (200 mg/kg), B1 (15 mg/kg), B2 (20 mg/kg), B6, B12 (100 mg/kg), K3, niacin (85 mg/kg), pantothenic acid (50 mg/kg), biotin (950 µg/kg), iron, zinc, manganese, copper (20 mg/kg), iodine (2 mg/kg) and selenium (0.25 mg/kg). The food of the experiment was eaten by puppies with great pleasure. This experiment has shown that YUMMI PREMIUM for puppies increase body weight and average daily growth rates, as well as improve the main parameters of dogs development.

AbstractThe use of ultrasound or sonication has been shown to stimulate growth and development of several plant species. No study exists on the impact of sound on Cymbidium growth in vitro. Using sonication at 60 Hz for several time periods, the response on new protocorm-like body (neo-PLB) formation on Teixeira Cymbidium (TC) medium was examined, as was the response on in vitro plant organogenesis. Sonication for 5 or 10 min stimulated neo-PLB formation significantly more than plant growth regulator (PGR)-free TC medium without sonication (negative control) and more than 1, 20 or 45 min sonication, but significantly less than control TC medium containing PGRs NAA and Kin (positive control) after 60 days in culture. Sonication, when applied to PLBs, did not influence most plantlet-related growth parameters. Flow cytometric analyses registered an increase in endoreduplication in sonicated PLB tissues. Sonication at 60 Hz has a PLB-promoting effect, but is not as effective as PGRs.

The study assessed the impact of magnetic plasma installation YMPO-2 on sunflower seeds treated with petroleum products of different concentrations (0.5%, 0.9%, 2.9%, 4.7%). The plant generates a gradient magnetic field with variable induction from 50 to 300 GS and is equipped with a powerful source of UV radiation with a wave range of 248-340 nm, which has a strong bactericidal effect, and the magnetic field is able to activate vital processes in seeds. The analyzed parameters of sunflower: seed germination (total and daily), growth energy and length of seedlings. The positive effect of the gradient magnetic field, ultraviolet radiation and ozone, created by a powerful magnetic inductor, was revealed due to the observation of sunflower growth parameters for 30 days. Under the influence of UMPO-2 increases the permeability of cell membranes, resulting in changes in the concentration of substances in plant cells, increases the rate of chemical reactions and increases water absorption of seeds. According to the results of the experiment, the stimulating effect of the magnetoplasmic installation on germination, growth energy and length of seedlings was noted not only on healthy sunflower seeds, but also on seeds treated with petroleum products in four different concentrations (0.5%, 0.9%, 2.9%, 4.7% kerosene). When germinating seeds with the addition of kerosene to the substrate, the deterioration of agrochemical properties of the soil was noted, as a result, the growth of stems and other vegetative organs of sunflower was delayed. However, the seeds with added oil, treated with magnetic plasma installation UMPO-2, germinated together, the growth delay was noted slight. Also, after the impact of UMPO-2 on seeds not treated with petroleum products, positive dynamics of growth within 30 days, maximum germination and germination energy were revealed.

Изучены рост и развитие бычков — помесей красной степной с казахской белоголовой породой в равнинной провинции Дагестана. Установлено, что помесный молодняк, по сравнению с чистопородным скотом красной степной породы, имеет более высокую живую массу при рождении на 1,8 кг, или 7,3%. При отъеме в 8-месячном возрасте помеси имели живую массу 210 кг против 187,6 кг у красного степного молодняка, что на 22,4 кг, или 11,9% выше. В 12-, 15- и 18-месячном возрасте живая масса помесных бычков равнялась 291,8 кг, 359,7 и 436,6 кг, соответственно, или на 28 кг, 36 и 45,8 кг больше по сравнению с красным степным скотом. Среднесуточные приросты помесных бычков за период выращивания и откорма составили 760 г, что выше на 12,1% по сравнению с чистопородным красным степным молодняком. После заключительного откорма и убоя помесные бычки дали тяжеловесные туши с хорошим поливом. По массе парной туши они превосходили чистопородных аналогов на 31,3 кг, или 15,6% с преимуществом выхода туши на 2,4%. Убойный выход у бычков опытной группы составил 58,7%, контрольной — 55,8%. От помесных бычков были получены тяжеловесные шкуры массой 27,1 кг, от чистопородных — 21,6 кг, преимущество по этому показателю имели помесные животные 5,5 кг, или 25,4%. Для увеличения производства говядины в равнинной провинции Дагестана рекомендуем скрещивание коров красной степной породы с быками казахской белоголовой породы. The growth and development of bulls of red steppe crossbreeds with the Kazakh white-headed breed in the flat province of Dagestan were studied. It was found that young crossbreed animals in comparison with purebred red steppe cattle have a higher live weight at birth by 1,8 kg or 7,3%. When weaning at 8 months of age, cross-bred bulls had a live weight of 210 kg against 187,6 kg in red steppe young, which is 22,4 kg, or 11,9% higher. At 12, 15 and 18 months of age, the live weight of crossbred bulls was 291,8 kg, 359,7 and 436,6 kg, respectively, or 28 kg, 36 and 45,8 kg more than the red steppe cattle. The average daily growth of cross-bred bulls during the growing and fattening period was 760 g compared to 678 g, that is, they were 12,1% higher compared to purebred red steppe young. After the final fattening and slaughter, the cross-bred bulls gave heavy carcasses with good watering. By weight of the paired carcass, they were superior to purebred counterparts by 31,3 kg or 15,6% with an advantage of 2,4% carcass yield. The slaughter yield of bulls in the experimental group was 58,7%, 55,8% in the control group, respectively, with an advantage in favor of crossbreeds of 2,9%. Heavy skins weighing 27,1 kg were obtained from crossbreed bulls, 21,6 kg from purebred ones, and crossbreed animals of 5,5 kg or 25,4% had an advantage in this indicator. Studies have shown that in order to increase beef production in the lowland province of Dagestan, it is necessary to use crossbreeding of the breeding stock of the red steppe breed with bulls of the Kazakh white-headed breed.

In the last years, nanoparticles such as TiO2, ZnO, NiO, CuO and Fe2O3 were mainly used in wastewater applications. In addition to the positive aspects concerning using nanoparticles in the advanced oxidation process of wastewater containing pollutants, the impact of these nanoparticles on the environment must also be investigated. The toxicity of nanoparticles is generally investigated by the nanomaterials’ effect on green algae, especially on Chlorella vulgaris. In this review, several aspects are reviewed: the Chlorella vulgaris culture monitoring and growth parameters, the effect of different nanoparticles on Chlorella vulgaris, the toxicity of photocatalyst nanoparticles, and the mechanism of photocatalyst during oxidative stress on the photosynthetic mechanism of Chlorella vulgaris. The Bold basal medium (BBM) is generally recognized as an excellent standard cultivation medium for Chlorella vulgaris in the known environmental conditions such as temperature in the range 20–30 °C and light intensity of around 150 μE·m2·s−1 under a 16/8 h light/dark cycle. The nanoparticles synthesis methods influence the particle size, morphology, density, surface area to generate growth inhibition and further algal deaths at the nanoparticle-dependent concentration. Moreover, the results revealed that nanoparticles caused a more potent inhibitory effect on microalgal growth and severely disrupted algal cells’ membranes.

The flower industry depends on oil and fragrance, which is addressed in the current work. Different concentrations of NaCl (0, 250, 500, 1000, and 1500 ppm) were applied to Taif rose plants (Rosa damascena var. trigintipetala Dieck) to evaluate their effects on growth and essential oil content. Results clearly indicated the highest survival percentage (98.3%) was seen in untreated plants compared to plants under salinity stress. Moreover, increasing the NaCl levels induced an adverse effect on the growth parameters of Taif rose plants, while some essential oil contents were increased to the maximum degree of their tolerance to salinity stress. The extracted essential oils were analyzed using GC/MS. The essential oils of Taif rose plants treated with 500 ppm NaCl recorded the highest values of citronellol, geraniol and phenylethyl alcohol contents (16.56, 8.67 and 9.87%), respectively. NaCl at 250 ppm produced the highest values of heneicosane (13.12%), and then decreased to the lowest value (7.79%) with the increase of NaCl to 1500 NaCl, compared to the control and other NaCl levels. The current results could highlight the impact of salinity stress on Rosa damascena Miller var. trigintipetala Dieck for better economic and industrial applications.

AbstractWe estimated the impact of a comprehensive set of non-pharmeceutical interventions on the COVID-19 epidemic growth rate across the 37 member states of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development during the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic and between October and December 2020. For this task, we conducted a data-driven, longitudinal analysis using a multilevel modelling approach with both maximum likelihood and Bayesian estimation. We found that during the early phase of the epidemic: implementing restrictions on gatherings of more than 100 people, between 11 and 100 people, and 10 people or less was associated with a respective average reduction of 2.58%, 2.78% and 2.81% in the daily growth rate in weekly confirmed cases; requiring closing for some sectors or for all but essential workplaces with an average reduction of 1.51% and 1.78%; requiring closing of some school levels or all school levels with an average reduction of 1.12% or 1.65%; recommending mask wearing with an average reduction of 0.45%, requiring mask wearing country-wide in specific public spaces or in specific geographical areas within the country with an average reduction of 0.44%, requiring mask-wearing country-wide in all public places or all public places where social distancing is not possible with an average reduction of 0.96%; and number of tests per thousand population with an average reduction of 0.02% per unit increase. Between October and December 2020 work closing requirements and testing policy were significant predictors of the epidemic growth rate. These findings provide evidence to support policy decision-making regarding which NPIs to implement to control the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.
