During the oestrus cycle in cattle, changes in hormone levels lead to changes in the histology of the endometrium. The endometrium is important for blastocyst adhesion and invasion, enabling successful placentation and pregnancy to occur. Changes in endometrial structure around oestrus may also affect sperm transfer through the uterus. Mucus defend...

The endometrium plays a central role in fertility and pregnancy. It undergoes changes in function and histological morphology over the oestrus cycle, driven by dynamic changes in progesterone and oestrogen. To understand the changes resulting from elevated oestrogen levels around oestrus, we profiled the transcriptome of the bovine uterus. Endometr...

Farm animals may be exposed to environmental pollutant. Occurrence of organochlorines compounds in follicular fluid and their effects on steroid hormones were studied in camels. Insecticide was determined in follicular fluid collected from 100 camels. About 11 and 12% of camels surveyed have 0.83±0.03 and 0.25±0.02 ng mL-1 endosulfan and hepatochlo...

It is now established practice to upgrade the protein content of low quality roughage by urea treatment. Administration of urea may result in some adverse effects. This study was carried out to investigate the effects of feeding urea-treated wheat straw diet on the hormonal and metabolic environment of ovarian follicles. Feeding of urea-treated whe...

The current study is to highlight the effect of natural phyto-product as Moringa oleifera Lam. oil and another artificial insecticide as cypermethrin on efficiency of two different organs of male rats related to different systems; testes and livers. The study utilized probit analysis to determine sub-lethal and lethal doses. Twenty-four male rats w...

Background Saidi sheep are one of the most important farm animals in Upper Egypt, particularly in the Assiut governorate. Since they can provide meat, milk, fiber, and skins from low-quality roughages, sheep are among the most economically valuable animals bred for food in Egypt. Regarding breeding, relatively little is known about the Saidi breed....

Introduction/Objective Introduction: Catha edulis Forsk (Khat) leaves are widely chewed by adults in the Arabian Peninsula and the Horn of Africa for their mild stimulating properties. Objectives To investigate the impact of an aqueous extract of Catha edulis Forsk leaves on the proper functioning of vital organs. Methods/Case Report Methods: Mat...

People have long used plants and plant-derived products to treat a wide range of illnesses. In the present work, Tecoma stans flower was extracted using 90% ethanol. Flavonoids and total phenolic constituents of T. stans flower extract were screened, and polyphenolic compounds were assessed using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Anti-...

In recent decades, allergic diseases subsequent from an IgE-mediated response to specific allergens have become a progressively public chronic disease worldwide. They have shaped an important medical and socio-economic burden. A significant proportion of allergic disorders are branded via a form 2 immune response relating Th2 cells, type 2 natural...

During the oestrous cycle, the bovine endometrium undergoes morphological and functional changes, which are regulated by alterations in the levels of oestrogen and progesterone and consequent changes in gene expression. To clarify these changes before and after oestrus, RNA-seq was used to profile the transcriptome of oestrus-synchronized beef heif...

Background and objective: Perturbed neurological functions significantly affect the quality of life. Synthetic drugs may lead to improved neuronal function, however may seek to undesired effects. Hence, current study emphasized to determine the phytochemicals and antioxidant activity of Adiantum pedatum as well as to investigate the neuropharmacolo...

Dromedary camel or Arabian camel (Camelus dromedarius) has great economic importance due to its milk and byproducts. Its milk has high nutrition along with healthy bacteria such as Lactic acid bacteria helpful in the fermentation process. The aim was to compare the probiotic bacteria from one week of lactating camel milk vs one year lactating camel...

The aim of this study was to investigate the serum level of fat-soluble vitamins A, D and E in clinically healthy lactating female camel (Camelus dromedarius) and suckling calf > one-year-old during winter and summer seasons in five main regions of Saudi Arabia. 60 sera samples were collected and tested for vitamins A, D and E levels and the result...

The gut microbiota plays an important role in the health and disease resistance of the host. Host health depends on the microbiota of the gastrointestinal tract, and imbalance in its composition may leads to certain diseases. This study analyzed the influence that dromedary camel milk has on the gut microbiota of mice. This study characterized the...

Lornoxicam is a potent oxicam-class nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic effects. Its impacts on many biological functions are not fully understood. We measured various biomarkers in male albino rats provided an oral aqueous ginger extract before IM administration of therapeutic and 2× the t...

Dromedary camels (Camelus dromedarius) are widespread in the desert and semi-desert areas of Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, some parts of southwest Asia and Australia. In the Arabian Peninsula, these well-adapted species have been classified based on their ecology into Desert camels, found mainly in the north and center of the Peninsula, Mountain c...

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of dietary linseed oil, sunflower oil, and their supplementation with Amphora coffeaeformis (AC) on growth performance, carcase characteristics, fatty and amino acid profiles, oxidative stability, and meat quality of broiler chickens. One hundred and eighty day-old broiler chicks were divided into four groups...

This study aimed to investigate the ameliorative effects of iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) prepared from leaf extract of Petroselinum crispum compared to those prepared using a chemical method in lead-acetate-induced anemic rats. Twenty rats were divided into four groups (five rats each). Throughout the experimental period (8 weeks), the rats in...

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of four combinations of dietary linseed oil and lysine mixtures on performance, fatty and amino acid profiles, oxidative stress biomarkers, cell energy and meat quality parameters of broiler chickens. One hundred and sixty broiler chicks were allocated into four groups. Birds of groups 1-4 were fed diets cont...

E.coli endotoxin lipopolysaccharides (LPS) have been recognized as abortificient agent in some animals. This study was undertaken to investigate such effects of LPS in pregnant camels. Intravenous administration of E.coli endotoxin at a dose of 0.05µg/kg body weight to pregnant camels resulted in abortion. The injection of endotoxin caused signific...
