The agri-food sector is pressured to produce more livestock products with fewer resources due to global drivers like rapid population growth and challenging climate changes. Food insecurity can lead to hunger, malnutrition, and famine over time. Recently, half of Afghanistan’s population has been food insecure due to COVID-19 and climate change, as...

This study investigates CCHF epidemiological cases at a national level from 2007 to 2024, focusing on tick species identification, CCHFV molecular detection, intrinsic, and extrinsic factors associated with the disease's distribution in domestic animals (cattle, sheep, goats, camels, and chickens) in Kunduz and Takhar provinces of Afghanistan. Anal...

Saccharine sodium and rebaudioside A are low-calorie sweeteners, and the biologic effects of these sweeteners in rat ovaries are related to the activity of sweet taste receptors. Data on the impact and regulatory mechanisms underlying such sweeteners on the reproduction of aged animals are currently lacking. In the present study we assessed how the...

Simple Summary Saccharin sodium (SS) is one of the commonly used artificial sweeteners (AS) in the food industry, but the mechanisms mediating the physiological effects of sweeteners in the gut-brain axis is still unclear. The aim of this study was to explore the regulatory effect of SS on the microbiota-gut-hypothalamus axis on guinea pigs. We fou...

A study was conducted in Baghlan province to compare foreign and domestic poultry feeds on Golden Egg Layers. The study was started on 2019/09/15 and took 2.5 months. A small farm of 40 chickens was formed and the chickens were divided randomly into four equal groups (A, B, C and D). Each group of 10 chicks was housed in a special cage, and all env...

The sense of bitter taste is critical for chickens to acquire and select feeds. It is important to understand the roles and mechanisms of bitter taste transduction in chickens. Denatonium is extensively used as a bitter taste receptor agonist to activate bitter taste receptors in recent studies. The objective of this study was to investigate the ph...

This study aims to investigate the beneficial effects of two cultivars of bok-choy, ‘Suzhouqing’ (green cultivar) and ‘Ziluolan’ (purple cultivar), on growth performance, lipid metabolism and related gene expressions in Syrian golden hamsters.

Yogurt supplemented with plant source proteins are received increased attention but few studies investigated effect of plant source proteins supplementation on protein digestibility and releasing of bioactive peptides. In this study, a residue rich in protein derived from common beans starch production, Common Bean Whey (CBW), was applied in develo...

Simple Summary Spermatogenesis and hormones secretions are important life-threating and complicated process, which can be affected by environmental estrogens. Genistein, a type of isoflavones, widely exists in the soybean products diet, which exerts a controversial role in reproductive regulation for its special structures or functions. The results...

Aims: The present study was carried out to investigate the influences of Selenium/Zinc-Enriched probiotics (SeZnP) on growth performance, serum enzyme activity, antioxidant capability, inflammatory factors and gene expression associated with Wistar rats inflated under high ambient thermal-stress. Main methods: Sixty male rates with six-weeks of...

Simple Summary Spermatogenesis and hormones secretions are serious life-threating and complicated process, which can be improve through science-based approaches. Royal jelly is a thick white milky fluid secreted by the hypopharyngeal and mandibular glands of young nurse worker bees (Apis mellifera) and used to feed their queen to expand their life....

Simple Summary Denatonium benzoate is a strong bitter taste receptor agonist, extensively used for its activation of different cell pathways. Taste signals have been associated to food recognition and avoidance, and bitter taste provokes an aversive reaction and is assumed to protect chickens from consuming poisons and harmful toxic substances. The...

Simple Summary In chickens, bitter taste is the most significant biological taste disrupter; it is believed to protect chickens against consuming poisonous/toxic materials and considered a warning signal prior to ingestion. The bitter taste receptors’ extraoral expression information is deficient in chicken, and denatonium benzoate is extensively u...

The present study was conducted to evaluate the effects of zinc-enriched probiotics (ZnP) on growth performance, antioxidant status, immune function, related gene expression, and morphological characteristics of Wistar rats raised under high heat stress condition during summer. 36, 6-week-old male Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups...
