Fowl Cholera

The present study was undertaken to determine the present status of fowl cholera (FC) infection of poultry in Gazipur district during September 2016 to February 2017. A total of 282 either dead or sick birds (Layer and Sonali) were taken as sample in which the sick birds were subjected to record clinical data and consequently the dead birds were for post mortem examination. Hence, overall 12.41% prevalence was found for FC and about 87.59% was for mixed other diseases.  All the birds were grouped into six named as A1, A2 and up to A6 accordingly their age. The highest incidence (29.79 %) was found in A1 (8-20weeks) group and the lowest was 4.26% in A5 (51-60 weeks) group. Furthermore, six FC infected farms were categorized to treat with six specific antibiotics individually. Thereafter, the highest recovery rate (89.6% and 87.5%) was recorded in two farms using Enrofloxacin and Gentamicin particularly. The lowest recovery rate (60%) was in Erythromycin treatment group. However, the layer birds of six farms lost their body weight almost 11.84%, specifically the highest percentages (16.49%) was in treated with Ampicillin and lowest percentages (5.79%) found in a farm treated with Gentamicin. In brief, FC commonly appears just near to laying age and therapeutic management trivially decreases the body weight that ultimately shoots up the production cost.

This study was initiated on 24 prepubertal Holstein x Kankrej crossbred heifers of nearly identical age (7-9 months) and body weight (130-140 kg) at University farm to evaluate the effect of high plane of nutrition on blood biochemical and minerals profile and the age at puberty. Twelve heifers were managed under routine farm feeding (control) and the rest 12 under ideal optimum feeding regime (treatment) that included extra 1 kg concentrate, 30 g min mix and ad-lib dry fodder. The body weight and ovarian ultrasonography together with blood sampling was carried out at monthly interval from 10 to 18 months of age to study the ovarian dynamics and blood biochemical changes. High plane of nutrition to growing heifers was beneficial in reducing the age of onset of puberty (by 2-3 months) compared to routine farm fed group. The mean plasma total protein and cholesterol concentrations showed a rising trend with significant variations from 10 to 16 months of age, where it got mostly stabilized indicating adult profile. The activity of enzymes GOT and GPT also rose gradually and significantly from 10 months till 14-15 months of age, and thereafter it remained more or less static till 18 months of age. The levels of both these enzymes were higher, with lower protein and cholesterol, in control than the treatment group from 15-16 months of age onwards. The mean plasma levels of both calcium and phosphorus increased gradually and significantly with advancing age till 16-17 months of age, with little higher values in supplemented than a control group. The plasma levels of zinc, iron, copper, and cobalt also showed rising trend with significant differences between 10th and 12th-14th months of age, and from 15th to 18th months of age the levels were statistically the same in all the groups with slightly higher values in the treatment group.

I prepared a “model farm” producing fattening pigs in order to examine the main risk of production and market factors affecting the profitability of fattening pig production. Values of body weight (at the beginning of fattening and at the end of fattening), mortality rate, feed conversion ratio (FCR) of fattening pig as well as the main cost and price data were recorded as the input data of the model. Production value per unit, production cost per unit and income per unit were used as output. The Monte-Carlo simulation was used in the model for risk assessment. Based on the results of the analysis, it was concluded that the production value per unit was most affected by the selling price of fattening pig (ß=0.972), the production cost per unit were most influenced by the body weight at the beginning of fattening (ß=0.567) and the feed conversion ratio (ß=0.537), in addition, the change of the income per unit was most determined by the previously factors.

Demethylase Activity

Eurycoma longifolia (E. longifolia) or also known as Earth Pasak in Indonesia, has been used widely, especially to increase stamina in men. The use of herbal medicines in the long run opens up the opportunities for the influence of herbal medicines on metabolic process of other substances. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of E. longifolia extract on rosiglitazone metabolism after oral administration for one and fourteen days, and its effect on rat body weight. The rats were divided into two groups, group for one day treatment (divided into 8 subgroups with n = 6: I (control), II to VIII (were given extract at doses of 1 to 1000 mg / kg BW) and 14 days (rats divided into 4 subgroups, n = 6 : I (control), II to IV (treated with extracts of doses 5, 25 and 50 mg / kg BW). At the end of the experiment, test animals were sacrificed and rosiglitazone N-demethylase activity in hepatocytes was determined by measuring the amount of formaldehid formed at 415 nm. The rosiglitazone N-demethylase activity in all groups was analyzed by analysis of  variance (ANOVA) and Tukey Test (P <0.05). The percentage of the changing in the body weight in the 14 days treatment group was compared to the control group. The results showed there was a significant increased in the rosiglitazone N-demethylase activity after rats were treated with E. longifolia extract at doses of 5 to 1000 mg / kg BB, but was not significantly different at a dose of 1 mg / kg BW when compared with control group. For the 14 days treatment, there was no significant difference between the treatment group and the control group, both for the rosiglitazone N-demethylase enzyme activity or the changed of rat body weight.

AbstractBatches of 10 Anisakis larvae from Greenland salmon (Salmo salar) were labelled with radioiodcin and fed to 10 haddock (Melanogrammus aegiefimis). Similar batches of larvae from herring (Clupea harengus) were fed to 8 whiting (Merlangius merlangus). At post-mortem from 15 to 190 hours after infection, 0 to 6 larvae were recovered from whiting (over-all recovery rate 18.8%) and 0 to 4 larvae were recovered from haddock (over-all recovery rate 27%). Larvae penetrated the wall of the stomach or of a pyloric caecum. They were first seen in the body-cavity 24 hours after infection and a delicate capsule was present around some of them by 34 hours. Most larvae were recovered from the body-cavity but, in haddock, two had penetrated the epaxial musculature.

This action research was carried out to demonstrate the method of silage making and its feeding, mixed with chopped hay to goats during feed scarcity periods as coping strategy for winter days in Jumla. Nine farmers took part in on-farm silage production and feeding trial. A total of 29 kids and 16 does as treatment group and 12 kids and 19 does of the similar age group and status as control were selected to compare the body weight gain. The normal practice of feeding was 3-4 hours of grazing daily, occasionally combined with tree fodder (Quercus sp.) in communal pastureland and offering hay for snowfall days in pens. In addition to this, treatment groups were supplemented with mixed silage and chopped hay at the rate of 2% of body weight on dry matter basis, half each from the silage and hay. The mixture was given daily early in the morning for 45 days from 25th of December to 10th of February, when the average minimum temperature dropped from -2.4 to -5.4° C. Goats consumed about 95% of the offered amount of silage whereas chopped hay was rejected by about 90%. The result showed that kids gained 0.49 kg with average daily gain of 10.88 g and does gained 2.44 kg with an average daily gain of 54.22 g for the treatment group. The difference between the initial and final body weight was positive for treatment group whereas it was negative for the control. Male kids grew faster by 8.6%, female kids by 6.7% and does by 12.6% for silage supplemented group compared to control. It indicated that proper fermented maize fodder silage can be obtained from pits prepared before winter and loss in body weight can be prevented by the supplementation of silage during cold days in high mountains when there is scarce of green forages.

The assessment of silver nanoparticles biosynthesized and characterized using UV-Spec, FTIR, XRD, TGA, SEM, TEM from marine red seaweed Halymenia porphyroides have been evaluated for its anti-hyperglycemic activity in vivo. The anti-diabetic efficacy of the biosynthesized silver nanoparticles from marine red seaweed Halymenia porphyroides was studied by chemically inducing diabetes in the experimental Wistar albino rats through Alloxan monohydrate, which ultimately results in hyperglycemia at a dosage of 50 mg/kg body weight given orally for about 28 days. The outcome of the results was estimated by various biochemical parameters from the treatment group with silver nanoparticle (50 mg/Kg i.p) biosynthesized from Halymenia porphyroides. The anti-diabetic efficacy of the treatment group showed a decrease in the levels of blood glucose levels, total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein, and phospholipids whereas the body weight and HDL increase was observed. The histopathological evaluation of the pancreas of the treated group of animals revealed the restoration and regeneration of β-cells of the pancreas with moderate swelling as compared to that of the chemically induced alloxan diabetic group of animals.

AbstractNutritional factors can dramatically affect development of young animals during the early stage of life. The objective of the present study was to examine the effects of a neuroactive nutritional supplement (NNS) containing DHA, taurine, carotenoids and vitamins on the body weight and body composition of growing puppies. A total of twenty-four 2-month-old Beagles were fed a nutritionally complete and balanced base diet and a control supplement daily during an initial 1-month baseline assessment, after which they were divided into control and treatment groups. They were fed daily either control or treatment supplements in addition to the base diet from 3 to 12 months of age. Lean body mass and fat mass were assessed using quantitative magnetic resonance scans at 0 (baseline), 3, 6 and 9 months of treatment. Total body weight and lean body mass did not differ between groups over time. The puppies in the treatment group showed a trend of reduced fat gain compared with those in the control group, and with a marginally significant difference at 6 months (P = 0·05). At 3 months, insulin-like growth factor 1 was higher (P = 0·02) in the treatment group compared with the control group. At 9 months, fasting lipid levels were lower (P < 0·05) and fat-oxidation metabolite 3-hydroxybutyrate was higher (P < 0·05) in the treatment group compared with the control group. These results may indicate that NNS has an impact on puppy growth and development, possibly by promoting fat metabolism; further investigation would be necessary to determine the full impact of this supplement on growth and development.

The use of kuda-kuda leaves has long been carried out, several studies have shown that these leaves can increase the body weight of livestock fed with fresh horse leaves and extracts. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of giving kuda-kuda leaf extract on changes in rat body weight as a basic study to produce drugs that have the potential to be weight-enhancing drugs in the future. The sample was a female Wistar mouse given ankuda-kuda leaf extract. Each treatment group was 5 female wistar rats, with a total treatment of 3 groups, so that the total number of samples was 15 female wistar rats. The dose-determined kuda-kuda leaf extract was administered orally using a one-time gastric sonde. Observations were continued from the first day to the 14th day, and every day a weighing was carried out and on the 14th day macroscopic observations were made on the condition of the rat organs. Data analysis was carried out using the SPSS program using krusscall wallis (non parametric) analysis. rats given horse extract leaves with a concentration of 3000 mg experienced the highest increase when compared to rats given horse-leaf extract with concentrations of 500 mg and 5500 mg. It can be concluded that the administration of kuda-kuda leaf extract caused an increase in rat weight. This can be caused by the content of several compounds that have the potential as a supplement for health found in the leaves of kuda-kuda such as ß-Sitosterol, tannins, and flavonoids.

Drymis sp. stem bark from Papua widely utilized by local people especially in Sougb Tribe from Sururey Distric Pegunungan Arfak West Papua, one of them is used to increase the stamina of the body. The aim of this study was to investigate the tonic effect of Drymis sp. stem bark of Ratus norvegicus. Ratatory exhaustion method was used to the tonic effect. Selected rats (30) were divided into 6 groups, each consisting of 5 rats. Tested extract was administrated oraly one dose to the rats. Group I, II and III was given the ethil acetat fraction of Drymis sp. stem bark 10mg/kg body weight, 30mg/kg body weight and 50mg/kg body weight consecutively. Group IV was given CMC-Na 0,5% (as negative control). Goup V was given caffein 15 mg/kg body weight (as positive control) and Group VI as a control. The total swimming period until exhaustion was measured and use as index of swimming capacity. Research result show that the highest dose 50 mg/body weight of the tested fraction the longer swimming time and with better stamina. The result of One Way ANOVA test showed that there was a significant difference between treatment group, followed by tukey test, tukey result obtained the ethil acetat fraction and negative control (CMC Na) showed that there was significant difference, and there is no real difference between between treatment group and positive control.   Key words: Drymis sp, Papua, tonic effect, rats.
