In current study, anti-parasitic properties of Nicotiana tabacum leaves (N. tabacum L.) and their traditional use in ethno-veterinary therapy were investigated using both in-vitro and in-vivo approaches. Crude aqueous extracts (CAE) of N. tabacum L. were used to evaluate in-vitro antiparasitic effect of Haemonchus (H.) placei that had been directly...

Immunomodulatory effects of rice bran (Oryza sativa)-derived arabinoxylans (AXs) were evaluated in chickens. Broiler chicks were randomly allocated into five equal groups of 25 chicks each. The humoral immune response was detected using sheep RBCs. Cellular immunity was assessed using phytohaemagglutinin-P (PHA-P), concanavalin-A (Con-A), carbon cl...

Background. Broiler breeders can directly affect the production of broiler stock, so their performance is critical. Dietary supplements also play a crucial role in improving their performance. The current study aimed to investigate the impact of vitamin E supplements on broiler breeder performance, including egg production, hatching egg fertility,...

Foodborne pathogens are one of the major risks in poultry meat industry due to its worldwide prevalence and public health significance. These infections, which come from the intestinal tracts of animals, contaminate chicken during processing and pose serious concerns when consumed. By identifying key control points and establishing safety threshold...

This study investigated the effects of herbal extracts on growth performance, organ development, immunity parameters and intestinal microbial population of broilers. A total of 840 (one day old, initial weight 45±2 g) broiler chicks were divided into 5 groups with 6 replicates having 28 chicks in each. The control group (G1) fed with basal diet, an...

West Nile virus (WNV) is a neurotropic human pathogen. Its importance as zoonotic disease cannot be neglected due to complex life cycle and global persistence of the mechanical vectors. The fatality rate depends upon the level of infection prevailing in an individual. The lethal disease is very important regarding public health significance and nee...

The sites of Chinji type locality, Dhok Bun Ameer Khatoon, Lawa and Markhal are highly fossiliferous in the Chinji and Dhok Pathan formations, dated from middle and late Miocene (15.97–5.33 Ma), in the Lower and Middle Siwalik subgroups of the Pakistan. In these studied localities fossils of suids, tragulids, bovids (including caprins), giraffids,...

Alternative approaches and/or modified approaches to tackle resistance in gut microbes are need of the hour. The current study was planned to find the resistance modulation and toxicity potential of sodium alginate stabilized MgO nanoparticles and antibiotics against Escherichia coli (E. coli) isolated from the gut of Houbara bustard bird ( n = 105...

To control coccidiosis, anticoccidials are generally used as feed additives. However, the frequent usage has given rise to the occurrence of resistant strains to available anticoccidial drugs. Botanicals may work as substitutes to anticoccidial drugs. Th e current research was designed to evaluate the efficacy of aqueous methanol extracts of Glycyr...

The poultry sector is vibrant, fast growing and potential sector playing an important role in food security and economy of developing countries (Abbas et al. 2020; Zhang et al. 2020). Each year, over 50 billion chickens are raised as a source of meat, accounting for over one-third of protein source in food of humans (Quiroz-Castañedaet al. 2015). H...

Babesiosis is a very lethal disease of livestock as well as companion animals.

nfectious bursal disease (IBD) is a viral disease which effects the lymphoid organs of the poultry. It effects the bursa of Fabricius of the poultry as a result the bursa swells and after the disease duration the bursa regresses the disease. It is caused by the birna virus (BV) and it mostly occurs in every third flock it is a disease of the ec...

Poultry is one of largest meat and egg production industry but the demand of meat and egg increasing day by day. The most of poultry farmer are facing loss and they are leaving poultry sector. The major issue is the rates of poultry feed increasing day by day and now poultry feed is not in the range of small poultry farmers so for this purpose,...

Avian infectious bronchitis (IB) is one of the illnesses related to respiratory disorders in household poultry causing critical financial misfortune to poultry yield. The IB can cause respiratory sickness, lessened creation of flying brutes, nephrotic disorder, and irredeemable hurt to the uterus, which can cause the odd curvature of eggs. Immuniza...

The present study was performed to investigate the blood and reproductive profiles of Chinkara deer in breeding and non-breeding seasons and to explore breeding potential of Chinkara deer farming practices in Punjab. Deer data including weight, feeding, sex, breeding was collected from government and private deer farms. Blood collection was done at...

Avian Infectious bronchitis (IB) is profoundly one of the main diseases associated with respiratory syndrome in domestic poultry causing significant economic losses to poultry production. Avian Infectious Bronchitis (IB) has a place with Coronaviridae family, which causes respiratory illness, diminished creation of flying creatures, nephrotic Syndr...

Present study was aimed to evaluate the anticoccidial activity of butyric acid by both in vitro and in vivo methods. In vitro trial was conducted by sporulation inhibition assay to examine the influence of butyric acid on sporulation and damage of coccidian oocysts. Administration of various concentrations of butyric acid induced sporulation inhibi...

Toxoplasmosis, an important zoonotic parasitic disease-causing infection in humans and contaminating the environment. Cats are the sole source of spreading infection. Current study was designed to serodiagnoses in the flooded area, Jhang, Pakistan. Using rapid identification pen side strip test 316 pet cats were examined at CVAS, Jhang and other pr...

Due to its aggressive nature and low survival rate, esophageal cancer is one of the deadliest cancer. While the intestinal microbiome significantly influences human health and disease. This research aimed to investigate and characterize the relative abundance of intestinal bacterial composition in esophageal cancer patients. The fecal samples were...

The objective of current trial was to evaluate the effect of three Chinese herbal extracts (Rhubarb, Coptis chinensis and Codonopsison) supplementation in drinking water as alternative to antibiotics on performance and immune organs weight/index in growing broilers chicks. For this purpose, 300 days old broiler chicks were reared in floor pens and...

Background: Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region is an important cattle breeding area in China, and cattle breeding bases are located in this area. In Ningxia, dermatophytes have not been paid attention to, so dermatophytosis is becoming more and more serious. For effective control measures, it is important to determine the disease prevalence and isolate...

The present study was designed to treat the Mycoplasma synovaie (MS) by Chinese herbs extract (CHE). In the current study, prepared drug sensitivity and safety test was carried out by culture medium and on mice model against MS, respectively.
