Nanoparticles can bypass conventional physiological ways of nutrient distribution and transport across tissue cell membranes, as well protect compounds against destruction prior to reaching their targets. In ovo administration nanoparticles, may be seen a new method nano-nutrition, providing embryos with an additional quantity nutrients. The aim the study is examine effect in supplementation nano forms zinc, copper selenium on hatchability post hatch performance broiler chicken.Nano form...
The prebiotic Mannanoligosaccharide (MOS) was extracted from yeast and copra meal evaluated for their potentiality on serum lipid profile abdominal fat pad. treatment groups were fed with basal diet (T ). supplemented MOS [@ 0.5 g/kg 1 ); )] 1.5 sources such as [MOS 2 3 4 5 equivalent of )]. A broiler 6 7 8 9 trial conducted a period five week. results revealed that total cholesterol concentration significantly (P<0.01) lowered by 10, 12 per cent in birds T , respectively when compared...
Wayanad district is with a hilly terrain on the southern Western Ghats and located in northeast part of Kerala state. The ethnic diversity very impressive as evidenced by ten different tribal groups. Ethnobotanical studies resulted documentation information 165 edible plants used Kattunaikka, Paniya Kuruma tribes. community possesses knowledge regarding 136 taxa wild edibleplants, Kattunaikkas coming next 97 taxa. Amongst these communities, Kurumas are at bottom knowledge-ladder 42...
Olfaction is the response to odors and mediated by a class of membrane-bound proteins called olfactory receptors (ORs). An understanding these serves as good model for basic signal transduction mechanisms also provides important clues strategies adopted organisms their ultimate survival using chemosensory perception in search food or defense against predators. Prior research on cross-genome phylogenetic analyses from our group motivated addressal conserved evolutionary trends, clustering,...
An experiment was carried out with the objective of determining bioavailability calcium phosphate nanoparticles by supplementing at graded levels from 50 to 100% phosphorus content standard source (Dicalcium - coarse particle) 10 per cent increment. Tibial bone morphometry, and serum mineral profile carcass characters in broiler chicken were studied mash form feed 70 male chicks (Cobb 400) day 1 28 indicated that there no significant variation parameters studied. The tibial ash, are unison...
G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are one of the largest groups membrane proteins and popular drug targets. The work reported here attempts to perform cross-genome phylogeny on GPCRs from two widely different taxa, human versus C. elegans genomes address issues evolutionary plasticity, identify functionally related genes, orthologous relationship, ligand binding properties through effective bioinformatic approaches. Through RPS blast around 1106 nematode were given chance associate with...
The objective of the present investigation is focused on anticancer activity ethanolic crude extract Moringa concanensis leaf and bark against HepG2 cell line. study was facilitated by collecting plant sample subjected to ethanol extraction. extracted line examined MTT assay. confirms that M. has pronounced potential lines while compared extract. investigated possesses remarkable hence isolation compound contributing may lead develop at a novel natural phytomedicine for disease.
Biocompost has been identified as an alternative to chemical fertilizers that increased soil microbial population and enzyme activities in sustainable farming. The objective of this field study was evaluate the effect three halophytic composts combination with farmyard manure phosphate solubilising bacteria (Bacillus megaterium) on microflora activities. results show among nine treatments given, application Suaeda compost (T9) significantly such bacteria, fungi actinomycetes dehydrogenases,...
Chickpea, a temperate crop, is the world’s third most important pulse crop and India produces 75% of supply. The two common types Chickpea are white-seeded "Kabuli" "Desi "variety. In vitro regeneration was achieved using cotyledonary nodal explants desi variety seeds cultivar K850 Cicer arietinum. multiple shoot induction observed with various concentrations auxins cytokinins. maximum proliferation found at 0.5 mg/L 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP). effectiveness...
There is concern that some anthropogenic atmospheric pollutants may result in a global reduction of stratospheric ozone. This would undoubtedly increase the level ultraviolet radiation reaching surface earth, which might have important biological consequences. The antioxidant defence system plant consists variety molecules and enzymes. role enzyme activities Crotalaria juncea under control without UV-B treatment ultraviolet-B supplemental (UV-B) was investigated. for 6 h 4 days resulted...
Field studies were conducted to determine the role of defense mechanism in various parameters associated with plant protection subjected UV-B radiation Phaseolus trilobus Ait. commonly used as green manure and fodder. Spectrophotometric analysis showed that decreases chlorophyll content increased amount absorbing compounds such anthocyanins flavonoids. Other UV-induced alterations included reduction fresh weight leaf area. However, wrinkling leaves thickness was observed treated seedlings....
Four diets with two vegetable oils at different levels were evaluated for their in vitro rumen fermentation pattern, nutrient degradability and cis-9, trans-11 CLA production using a simulation technique (RUSITEC). Control diet (C) was having roughage to concentrate the ratio of 65:35. Treatment formed by supplementing sunflower oil (SF) soya bean (SB) 4.5 (SF4.5, SB4.5) 6.0% (SF6, SB6) incubated RUSITEC fermenters. After seven days adaptation period, parameters, concentration assessed next...
The supplementation of mineral in nano form increases bioavailability and efficiency utilisation. In this context an experiment was carried out to study the effect calcium phosphate nanoparticles on growth performance broilers with objective reduce quantity that would intern feed cost. Since phosphorus is expensive among sources, its requirement as dicalcium replaced by low 50% 100 % at 10 increment range. Calcium were synthesised laboratory wet chemical method particle size morphology...
