Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui kombinasi terbaik tepung ubi jalar merah dengan ragi sebagai pakan sinbiotik, yang dicampur ke ransum broiler. Jumlah materi yang digunakan sebanyak 100 ekor ayam broiler. Parameter yang diamati berupa organ pencernaan, yang diamati terdiri dari gizzard (rempela), usus halus, usus besar. Metode penelitian terdiri dari persiapan yaitu membersihkan bagian dalam kandang ataupun lingkungan sekitar kandang dengan menggunakan desinfektan kandang, pemeliharaan ayam broiler selama 35 hari, dan perlakuan  pada penelitian menggunakan ransum ayam  pedaging yang dicampur tepung ubi jalar dan ragi tape, yang dibedakan menjadi enam macam ransum perlakuan, dengan taraf tepung ubi jalar dan ragi tape yang berbeda-beda. Hasil penelitian kombinasi pemberian tepung ubi jalar merah dengan ragi sebagai sinbiotik tidak memberikan pengaruh nyata terhadap pertambahan bobot organ pencernaan ayam broiler (Gizzard, Usus Halus, Usus Besar). Level pemberian terbaik menunjukkan bahwa berat gizzard terdapat  pada P2 = 103 gram, berat usus halus terdapat pada P4 = 106 gram, berat usus besar terdapat pada P2 = 86 gram, masing_masing  memperlihatkan sebagai berat yang baik atau unggul dengan berat yang tertinggi dibandingkan dengan berat gizzard yang memiliki berat yang berbeda. Kesimpulan dari hasil penelitian bahwa  pemberian perlakuan tidak berpengaruh nyata terhadap berat organ pencernaan ayam broiler.   Kata kunci : Tepung Ubi jalar, Ragi, Terhadap Pertumbuhan Berat Organ Ayam Broiler   Abstract The study aims to find out the best combination of red sweet potato flour with yeast as sinbiotic feed which is miked to the broiler ration. The amount of material used is 100 broiler chickens. The parameter that is observed is digestive organs; qizzard, small intestive, large intestive. The methodology of the research is quantitative. It contains of preparation of cleaning the insside of cage or the envivonment around the cage by using disintecting the cage, the maintenance of broiler chicken for 35 days, and the treatment in the research is using broiler rations miked with sweet potato flour and yeast of tape, six kinds of treatment rations, with different levels of sweet potato flour and yeast of tape. The results of the research of the combination of red sweet potato with yeast as a sinbiotic is it does not give significant effect to inccrease of broiler gastrroinstestinal weight (qizzard, intestine, colon). The best level of administration shows that the weight of qizzard was found at P2=103 gram, in P4=106 gram, the weight of the large intestine or colon is found ad P2=86 gram, pach of it shows that the good weight or superior weight of the highest compared to the weight of the highest compared to the weight of different weight of qizzards. The conlusion of the research is there is no real effect to broiler disentive organ weight in the treatment.

Phα1β, a purified peptide from the venom of the spider Phoneutria nigriventer, and its recombinant form CTK 01512-2 are voltage-dependent calcium channel (CaV) blockers of types N, R, P/Q, and L with a preference for type N. These peptides show analgesic action in different pain models in rats. The aim of this study was to evaluate the acute intrathecal toxicity of the native and recombinant Phα1β toxin in Wistar rats. Clinical signs, serum biochemistry, organ weight, and histopathological alterations were evaluated in male and/or female rats. Dyspnea was observed in males, hyporesponsiveness in females, and Straub tail and tremors in both genders. There were no significant differences in male organ weight, although significant differences in the female relative weight of the adrenal glands and spleen have been observed; these values are within the normal range. Serum biochemical data revealed a significant reduction within the physiological limits of species related to urea, ALT, AST, and FA. Hepatic and renal congestion were observed for toxin groups. In renal tissue, glomerular infiltrates were observed with increased glomerular space. These histological alterations were presented in focal areas and in mild degree. Therefore, Phα1β and CTK 01512-2 presented a good safety profile with transient toxicity clinical signals in doses higher than used to obtain the analgesic effect.

Fatty acid profile and the related nutritional indices of the breast, thigh and drumstick muscles were studied at three farms, suppliers of ROSS 308 line of broilers, slaughtered at the age of 42 days. The proximate chemical composition of the commercial slaughter cuts revealed contents between 16.26�22.78% for proteins and 1.80�7.45% for total lipids, the breast having the highest protein and ash content and lowest values for fat and moisture. The obtained values were mainly affected by region (P[0.001). Meat fatty acid profile was affected (P[0.001) by commercial slaughter regions (CSR) and by the interactions between CSR and supplier farms (Farm A, B, and C) at different levels. The obvious findings highlighted that Farm B supplied broilers with a delivered higher content of beneficial fatty acids (LA, LNA, AA, EPA, and DHA) in breasts and drumstick, while for thigh, Farm C had the best results. The content of total saturated fatty acids (SFAs), monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) had the highest level in the thigh (P[0.001).

Abstract Background Cases of external hemorrhage are difficult to recognize on postmortem computed tomography (PMCT). Purpose To investigate the effects of blood loss on CT attenuation of the spleen, liver, kidneys, and lungs on PMCT and to assess the relationship between blood loss and organ weight. Methods A total of 125 cases with blood loss were sex- and age-matched to 125 control cases without blood loss. Individual organ attenuation was measured on transverse CT images. Organ weights of the liver, spleen, kidneys, and lung were extracted from the autopsy protocols. Results Organ weight was significantly lower in cases with blood loss (lung 30%, spleen 28%, kidneys 14%, liver 18%) than in controls. CT attenuation of the lungs was significantly lower (30%) in cases with blood loss than in controls. CT attenuation of the spleen and kidneys did not significantly differ between cases and controls. CT attenuation of the liver was significantly higher (25%) in cases with blood loss than in controls. Conclusion Blood loss decreases organ weight and CT attenuation of the lungs but appears to have no significant effect on CT attenuation of the spleen and kidneys. The increased liver attenuation in cases with blood loss compared to controls was an unexpected finding and remains challenging to explain. One probable interpretation refers to different levels of hepatic glycogen; however, further work is warranted to substantiate this hypothesis.

Background. Mantidis Ootheca (MO), described as the ootheca of Hierodula patellifera Serville, 1839, Tenodera angustipennis (Saussure, 1869), or Statilia maculate (Thunberg, 1784) in Korean Herbal Pharmacopoeia, is an important herbal material that has been traditionally used for treating several medical conditions including renal failure, spermatorrhea, and pediatric enuresis in Korea. Objective. The present study investigated the potential subacute toxicity of MO water extract during a 2-week repeated oral administration of doses of 0, 50, 150, or 450 mg/kg/day to C57BL/6 male mice by gavage. Methods. The following parameters were examined during the study period: mortality, clinical signs, body weight, hematology, serum biochemistry, gross findings, organ weight, and histopathology. All the mice were euthanized at the end of the treatment period. Results. No treatment-related changes in mortalities, clinical signs, body weight, gross finding, and organ weight change were detected after 14 days of oral MO extract administration. In addition, no meaningful MO extract treatment-related changes were observed in the hematological, serum biochemical, and histopathological parameters compared with the normal control group following treatment with doses of up to 450 mg/kg/day. Conclusion. Based on these findings, we concluded that treatment of mice with the water extract of MO did not result in significant toxicity and, therefore, it could be considered safe for further pharmacological studies.
