Nowadays in the world, biggest problem is how to control transmittable disease. Mathematical biology one of useful areas study and investigate diseases. In current study, we developed a mathematical model which reflects dynamics hepatitis B virus by using tools stochastic modeling particularly considering environmental noise. For better understanding disease, divide whole population into four disjoint classes. The main focus show effect stochasticity on disease as well obtain required...
Abstract Data on environmental contamination of the parasites zoonotic importance is scarce in Pakistan. Soil with feces dogs hide infective stages parasite represents a health-risk to humans. This study was aimed assess eggs gastrointestinal stray and household lower Dir district, Pakistan special consideration those that can be spread One hundred fifty two stool specimens from (stray dogs=90 dogs=62) were collected. The helminth processed by direct smear method centrifugation techniques...
3 Abstract: The present study was conducted at Livestock Research and Development Station Surezai, Peshawar during June to August 2011. objectives of this were determine the effect Cotton Seed Cake (CSC) on milk yield, composition, feed intake, Body Condition Score (BCS) live weight Holstein Friesian (HF) crossbred cows. A total nine mid-lactation cows randomly distributed three groups allocated diets containing zero (control), 20 35 percent CSC. All rations Isocaloric Isonitrogeniuos. Each...
Abstract Coccidiosis remains one of the major problems in poultry all over world. Very limited data on anticoccidial drugs wild pigeons is available. The current study was aimed to understand comparative efficacy sulfadimidine, amprolium and triquen Dir district, Pakistan suffering from coccidiosis. faecal matter were purchased local market for coccidian infection. Results revealed that 88.8% (16/18) found infected with Eimeria spp. Three positive groups treated sulfadimidine (0.2mg/L),...

Almost 100% landowners, cultivating a land about two kanal satisfied with training component AKRSP , 47% literate. The enrolled 50.2% age 33-45 years...
The effects of water supplements i.e. sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO 3 ), potassium chloride (KCl) and ascorbic acid were evaluated on feed intake, weight gain, Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR), serum potassium, level blood parameters in broiler Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) exposed to high ambient temperature (34 0 C, 8hr/d, 0900-1700hr).The chicks (n=300; 14 days old) kept at 34 C (heat-stressed) divided into five groups (B, D, E, F) 60 each.Group B with no supplementations, group...
Anthelmentic resistance (AR) is one of the major problems livestock industry in developing countries. Using indigenous medicinal plants may be an alternate way to overcome this problem. Total 60 sheep nematode positive were selected and divided into 6 groups having 10 each. Group A as un-treated control, group B was given Ivermectin at dose rate 0.2mg/kg body weight C D Chloroformic extract while E F Methalonic Coriandrum sativum whole plant 50 mg/kg 100 respectively. After treatments, fecal...
Abstract Present study was conducted to record ecotoparasitic prevalence in bat fauna of the northwestern parts Pakistan. A total 204 specimens representing 14 species were captured during a two year survey, extending from June 2015 through May 2016. soft ticks Argas vespertilionis identified 23 specimens. Similarly, members family Dermanyssoidae (dermanyssoid mites) isolated 10 specimens, that Spinturnicidae (spinturnicid 3 and Streblidae (bat flies) 2 These parasites collected using...
