The aim of the study was to determine effect yeast probiotic on body weight, and activities anti-oxidant enzymes: superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) glutathione peroxidase (GPx), malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration broiler chickens. experiment carried out hybrid Hubbard chickens (n = 200). Two-hundred day-old chicks were randomly selected distributed into four groups 50 each: Control, C, treatment comprising T1, T2 T3 administered with 0.25 mL, 0.5 mL 1.0 probiotic, respectively....

Chlorpyrifos (CPF) is one of the most widely used organophosphorous insecticides in agriculture with its attendant adverse health outcomes. This study aimed at evaluating effect subchronic oral CPF administration on hematological and serum biochemical indices, possible ameliorating vitamin C indices mice. Thirty mice divided into 3 groups 10 each were for this study. Mice group I (control) dosed vegetable oil, while those II given (21.3 mg/kg~ 1/5(th) LD(50)) only. III pretreated (100 mg/kg)...

The increasing demand in proteins to feed the ever-growing world population has necessitated industrialization and transportation of livestock using different means across several ecological zones with climatic conditions. stress factors acting on animals during road are numerous responses animal them complex, non-specific often detrimental their health productivity. In spite recommendations guidelines by many countries welfare transport order streaked compliance transporters, studies still...

Clinical and experimental evidence suggests that hyperglycaemia is responsible for the oxidative stress in diabetes mellitus. The study was designed to investigate comparative effects of probiotic vitamin C (Vit-C) treatments on hyperglycaemia, dyslipidaemia alloxan-induced diabetic rats. Type 1 (T1DM) induced male Wistar rats by a single intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection alloxan (150 mg/kg). Six groups animals received following treatment regimens four weeks: (1) Normal saline, per os; (2)...

ABSTRACT The aim of the present study was to determine physiological responses transported Red Sokoto goats (RSG) treated with ascorbic acid (AA). Ten RSG orally served as experimental subjects, while seven sterile water control. were for 8 h. ambient temperature and relative humidity during period fluctuated between 21 38°C 51 91%, respectively, which indicated that season thermally stressful did not favor transportation goats. rectal obtained in control significantly higher ( P < 0.01)...

This study investigates the effects of seasonal variations on erythrocyte osmotic fragility and vital parameters donkeys Equus africanus asinus at National Animal Production Research Institute (NAPRI) in Shika, Kaduna State, Nigeria. The research focused two key periods: hot-dry season (April) rainy (July). Twelve were classified into three age groups: young (1-3 years), adult (4-6 old (7-9 years). Blood samples collected six-hour intervals over a 24-hour period, while dry-bulb wet-bulb...

Abstract Heat stress is a significant challenge in broiler chicken production, particularly tropical and subtropical regions. This study evaluates the effectiveness of habituation mitigating adverse effects heat chickens during hot-dry season. Sixty-day-old male chicks (Arbor Acres) were randomly divided into control ( n = 30) habituated groups 30). The group was subjected to 4 days training from 17 20. two tonic immobility (TI) test on day 21. Heterophil-to-lymphocyte (H:L) ratio, serum...

In this study, we investigated the effect of ascorbic acid (AA) administration on goat excitability due to transportation. Ten goats administered AA (p.o.) at 100 mg/kg body weight before transportation served as experimental group, and seven only 10 ml/kg sterile water controls. Excitability scores were recorded for each goat; when weighed, before, immediately after, 3 h after 8 A score one four was allocated higher represent greater excitability. Immediately transportation, decreased...

The effects of vitamins C and E on layer chickens transported by road for 6 h during the hot dry season were investigated.Two experimental groups consisting thirty Shika Brown layers separately administered orally just before transportation, while another 30 layers, which only given sterile water, served as control.Blood samples analyzed after transportation in control showed a decrease (p<0.05) total white blood cell, (p<0.01)lymphocyte monocyte values, significant (p<0.001)increase values...

The study evaluated the ameliorative effect of vitamin C on chronic chlorpyrifos-induced hematological alterations in Wistar rats. Twenty adult male rats divided into 4 groups 5 animals each were exposed to following regimens: group I (S/oil) was administered soya oil (2 mL/kg b.w.), while II (VC) given (100 mg/kg b.w.); III dosed with CPF (10.6 IV pretreated mg/kg) and then 30 minutes later. regimens by oral gavage once daily for a period 17 weeks. Blood samples collected at end revealed...

Human and experimental animal studies have shown long- short-term neurological sequelae following acute organophosphate (OP) exposure. Although the main molecular mechanism of OP neurotoxiicty involves acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibition, also implicated induction oxidative stress. The present study was therefore aimed at evaluating effect chlorpyrifos (CPF) exposure on sensorimotor cognitive changes in Wistar rats, role brain lipoperoxidative pretreatment with vitamin C. Twenty-eight...

In poultry, the benefits of probiotic supplementation on broiler performance and health have been reported. The present study examined effect supplemental yeast preparations body weight, thyroid hormone metabolism serum lipid profile in broilers. experiment was carried out hybrid Marshall chickens (n=200). Two hundred 1-day-old chicks were randomly selected distributed into 4 groups 50 each (control, C; E10.5%, E21.5% E32.0%, experimental groups). birds housed an environmentally controlled...

Strychnos spinosa Lam. is a deciduous tree used in traditional medicine to treat infectious diseases. This study designed determine the antimicrobial, antioxidant and cytotoxic activities of extracts fractions from leaves S. spinosa. Extracts were obtained by maceration with acetone, methanol dichloromethane/methanol (1/1) while prepared liquid-liquid fractionation acetone extract. A broth serial microdilution method tetrazolium violet as growth indicator was minimum inhibitory concentration...

The aim of the study was to evaluate effects fisetin and probiotic on erythrocyte osmotic fragility (EOF), malondialdehyde (MDA) superoxide dismutase (SOD) in broiler chickens exposed heat stress. Sixty day-old broilers were divided into: Group I (control) given distilled water; II, (5 mg/kg); III, Saccharomyces cerevisiae (4.125 × 106 cfu/100 ml); IV, mg/kg) + ml) orally for 7 days. Blood samples collected from 42-day-old birds evaluated EOF, serum MDA concentration SOD activity. Percentage...

This review is aimed at providing information on current status of oestrus synchronization as a management tool in goats Nigeria. Oestrus synchronisation reproductive that enables goat farmers breed their animals within short pre-determined period. The principle chiefly the control luteal phase oestrous cycle and two basic mechanisms are employed. These include use prostaglandins or its analogues to shorten life/induce premature luteolysis exogenous progesterone prolong life, thereby...

The study aims to evaluate effects of chronic low-dose coexposure lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd) and manganese (Mn) on hepatorenal toxicity oxidative stress. Young male Wistar rats were treated with Pb acetate (1.4 mg/kg BW), Cd chloride (0.01 Mn (0.14 BW) their combination (Pb + Mn) by oral gavage, for 15 weeks. Liver enzymes, albumin (Alb), globulin (Glb), total protein, creatinine, urea electrolyte concentrations measured in the serum. Hepatic renal malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione...

Bovine embryos are typically cultured at reduced oxygen tension to lower the impact of oxidative stress on embryo development. However, oocyte in vitro maturation (IVM) is performed atmospheric since low during has a negative developmental competence. Lycopene, carotenoid, acts as powerful antioxidant and may protect against conditions. Here, we assessed effect adding 0.2 μM lycopene (antioxidant), 5 menadione (pro-oxidant), their combination generation reactive species (ROS) matured oocytes...
