Iron deficiency remains a widespread global health concern, particularly in populations consuming predominantly plant-based diets, where iron bioavailability is often compromised due to the presence of antinutritional factors. This systematic review evaluates effectiveness various strategies enhance bioavailability, focusing on food processing methods, fortification, and impact dietary inhibitors. Using PRISMA methodology, relevant studies were systematically identified, screened, analysed....

This study assessed the effect of rearing system on carcass traits, meat quality and sensory attributes slow-growing indigenous chicken raised pasture lands. Semi-intensive pasture-raised (PRS) with six replicates intensive (IS) three were tested. Live weight at slaughtering, total yield, yield cuts, parameters collected. Dressing percentage was calculated. Sensory broiler vs PRS IS also evaluated. The data revealed significantly higher (p˂0.05) average per bird in (954.42±31.20 g) than...

Investigations were carried out during 2014 and 2015 to study the effect of elevated CO2 temperature on growth yield contributing parameters bell pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) under open top chamber (OTC) at research farm Department Environmental Science, Dr Y.S. Parmar UHF, Nauni, Solan, Himachal Pradesh with four treatments [T1(eCO2): OTC 550±10 ppm; T2(eT & eCO2): by 1°C T3(aT aCO2): ambient T4: natural condition] each treatment had two varieties (California Wonder Solan Bharpur) which...

Medicinal plants are a rich source of secondary metabolites extensively used in traditional health care systems. High altitude biodiversity encompasses the diversified and valuable medicinal plant species. The extreme environmental conditions high region viz. fluctuating temperatures, UV radiation, salinity, low oxygen concentration, wind velocity limits growth distribution. Yet, how respond to these is not sufficiently understood. Therefore, addressing acclimation different stresses...

Global warming is predicted to have negative effect on plant growth due the damaging of high temperature development. The field experiment was conducted during 2014-15 study elevated CO2 and parameters pea (Pisum sativum L.) crop in order check climatechange vegetable crops. Effect studied under four conditions i.e. Open Top Chambers, T1: OTC - CO2550±10 ppm; T2: -elevated 550±10 ppm 1°C; T3: ambient (reference) T4: natural condition. Maximum height at 50 % flowering recorded T1 (84.29cm)...

WOFOST and InfoCrop crop growth simulation models were used to assess the impact of climate change on potato cultivars develop adaptation strategies for future climatic scenarios (2030, 2050 2080) under representative concentration pathways (RCP’s) 4.5 6.0 in Bihar. Potato belonging late (Kufri Badshah), medium Jyoti) early Pukhraj) maturity groups selected. The simulated results revealed variations potential productivity both RCP’s (4.5 & 6.0) with baseline yields 43.80 t ha-1 Kufri...

The present investigation was carried out in Himachal Pradesh, India. Nine different species of ladybird beetles were found feeding on the green apple aphid Aphis pomi De Geer an orchard and nursery plants Pradesh. These belong to order Coleoptera family Coccinellidae. Coelophora saucia (Mulsant) is a formidable predator This study investigated life cycle (a mussel). Both larval adult stages this vigorously consumed aphids. Therefore, studying biology capacity mussel) aphids from perspective...

Forensic Medicine is the application of medical knowledge for law and administration justice, which involves conducting medico-legal post-mortem examination, estimation age individual, victim-accused examination study poisons in all aspects. Many times, minute details are often missed by naked eye, especially if expert inexperienced or autopsy conducted at night time leading to high numbers negative obscure autopsies. As Artificial Intelligence booming smoothening work specialities like...

Observations were made on young nursery plants and apple orchards to record the coccinellid predators of Aphis pomi De Geer in Himachal Pradesh which is main growing state India. Nine species lady bird beetles observed feeding green aphid, Mashobra locality Shimla district Ner Chowk Mandi Pradesh, On basis general observations, it was found that larvae beetle Harmonia dimidiata (F.), are very active feed nymphs aphid. Therefore, considered worthwhile investigate biology potential this aphid...

The effect of feeding low dietary crude protein (CP) with different levels supplemental protease enzyme on commercial broilers was investigated. Three-hundred broiler chicks were divided into five treatments six replicates in a completely randomized design. experimental diets positive control (recommended CP levels, T1), negative (level reduced by 5%, T2), + 300 g t-1 (T3), 400 (T4) and 500 (T5). Growth, blood serum, carcass quality meat parameters measured. Data analysed using one-way...

An experiment was conducted during 2014 and 2015 at Solan, Himachal Pradesh to study the effect of elevated CO2 (eCO2) temperature (eT) on growth yield contributing parameters pea (Pisum sativum L.) crop under four conditions in open top chambers natural condition. The revealed that plants performed better eCO2, with slight changes development attributing traits, depending cultivars. However, beneficial direct impactof can counteract by (eT). Pooled data for two years indicated traits like...

In the present study three species of syrphid predators were found feeding on green apple aphid nursery plants. These are Betasyrphus serarius (Wiedemann), Episyrphus balteatus De Geer, and Metasyrphus confrater (Wiedemann). belonging to Family Syrphidae order Diptera. Observations made Geer a predator aphid, Aphis pomi in Shimla Hills Himachal Pradesh, India. The larval stages was predate upon which is serious pest plants Pradesh main growing state Feeding potential recorded during summer...

This experiment intended to figure out the nutritive value of fodder species and industrial by-products for feeding ruminants in Anuradhpura. Fodder species; maize (<em>Zea mays</em>), sorghum (<em>Sorghum bicolour</em>), CO-3 (<em>Pennisetum purpureum</em> x <em>P. americanum</em>), gliricidia (<em>Gliricidia</em> <em>sepium</em>), guinea grass (<em>Panicum maximum</em>) agro-industrial by-products; rice (<em>Oryza</em> <em>sativa</em>) bran, coconut (<em>Cocos nucifera</em>) poonac,...

This research aims to find out the feasibility of formation different total mixed ration (TMR) briquettes. Six recipes (TMR1, TMR2, TMR3, TMR4, TMR5, and TMR6) were prepared by blending combinations forages concentrates balance nutrient requirements lactating dairy cows. Each TMR briquette was wrapped stored at room temperature for three months tested monthly intervals composition shelf life. A cost analysis performed determine economic feasibility. The crude protein, ether extract, fibre,...
