The microbial biotransformation using low-cost feedstock to produce biopolymers (degradable), an alternative petrochemical-based synthesis plastics (non-degradable), can be a beneficial approach towards sustainable development. In this study, the dairy industry processes waste (whey) is used in polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) copolymer production. Initial screening suggested that Ralstonia eutropha produced higher PHA as compared Bacillus megaterium. A central composite rotatable design-based...
The aim of this study was to compare the blood plasma mineral profile (Ca, P, K, Mg, Zn, Cu and Se) egg-shell quality (eggshell weight, eggshell breaking strength thickness) laying hens housed in three different housing systems (traditional cage system, enriched system deep litter system). In each 12 ISA Brown were observed during period from week 22 75 age. effect ( p < 0.05 0.01) age and/or phase cycle on all concentrations determined. Eggshell decreased 0.001) with birds. results...
The aim of this study was to compare biochemical indicators blood plasma laying hens housed in three different housing systems (conventional cage system, enriched system and deep litter system). In each 12 ISA Brown were observed during the period from week 22 75 age. Blood samples for determination collected 22, 47 75.

Selected indicators for the metabolic profile of blood plasma in 22 Aberdeen Angus bulls reared by extensive method were monitored during postnatal development (from 4 to 564 days age), including total proteins, albumin, urea, creatinine, glucose, cholesterol, triacylglycerols, bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, alanine transaminase, aspartate tyroxin, triiodothyronine, calcium, inorganic phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, sodium, chlorides, copper, zinc and iron. In assessing relationship age...
The aim of the present study was to test hypothesis that keeping laying hens in an enriched environment supposed represent a better welfare for birds is accompanied by decreased corticosterone levels, compared kept under traditional conditions. Plasma levels reared standard and cages those on deep litter from 15 75 weeks age were evaluated. highest observed litter, which associated with lower intensity egg production, longest time movement high percentage spent dustbathing scratching. Hens...
The study aimed to investigate the efficacy of new mycotoxin adsorbents based on purified and activated bentonites combined with yeast phytogenic compounds in fattening pigs. experiment involved 96 pigs (31.2±2.4 kg). Control (C) group was fed a diet naturally contaminated mycotoxins (5 mg/kg deoxynivalenol, DON) without an adsorbent. Treated groups received feed adsorbents: bentonite (T1), bentonite, derivatives, substances (T2), purified, activated, sulphurated (T3). Evaluated parameters...
The objective of the study was to determine effect soybean-derived phytoestrogens and their metabolites on activity sex hormones during oestrous cycle in multiparous lactating dairy cows. experiment carried out 4 Holstein cows form replicated Latin square double reversal design. total length 168 days divided into periods 42 days, each consisting a 21-day preliminary period collecting period. Cows were 2 groups control group (C) fed diet based extruded rapeseed cake while experimental (S)...
<p>The aim of the present study was to evaluate effect breed on haematological and biochemical indicators in 3 dwarf rabbit breeds. In experiment, 30 sexually intact females aged 6 mo were used. With sole exception white blood cells haematocrit value, had most significant majority monitored. The red cell count higher Dwarf Lop compared Netherland (+1.91×10<sup>12</sup> cells/L; P&lt;0.05) also Teddy (+1.32×10<sup>12</sup> P&lt;0.05). For haemoglobin...
Beneficial effects of Sambucus nigra L. (black elder) as a traditional medicine have been associated with the phytoconstituents including polyphenols, terpenes and lectins. Various antioxidant rich natural products also implicated improvement reproductive health fertility, however, effect on ovarian cell functions has not investigated yet. The objectives present study were to screen polyphenols in elderflower elderberry extracts, examine secretion activity steroid hormones 17beta-estradiol...
Non melanoma skin cancers are common neoplasms worldwide. In India, squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), is the most prevalent disorder and its incidence rises quickly with cumulative exposure to sun. Numerous techniques available for SCC but reversion metastasis concern that needs effective safe strategies control. With this in view, study was planned investigate activity of Bakuchiol (Bak), traditionally used various countries curing ailments mechanism action unexplored. our study, we explored...
Selected indicators of the internal environment were determined in 11 bulls and heifers Gasconne breed. Blood was sampled live weight recorded on a regular basis at ages 64, 99, 127, 155, 190, 216 253 days. Plasma concentrations total proteins, urea, glucose, cholesterol, triacylglycerols, bilirubin, activity alkaline phosphatase, alanine- aspartate aminotransferase, triiodothyronine, thyroxine, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, sodium, iron, zinc copper assessed. The effects sex (...
The objective of the study was to determine selected indicators internal environment in individual cattle categories during period fattening evaluate relation blood components growth intensity and qualitative meat. trial involved half-siblings - bulls, heifers steers housed one stable. threesome always had a common father. During trials live weight monitored samples were taken on days 310, 403, 448, 479, 512, 554 618 age. concentrations total proteins, glucose, cholesterol, urea catalytic...
The aim of this experiment was to investigate the effect barley grain and lysine supplement in diet fattened fallow deer males on growth intensity biochemical parameters blood plasma. A total 30 male between 10 11 months age were divided into three groups: G – grazing, B grazing with BL addition LysiPearl ™. Body weight, daily weight gain, protein, albumin, urea, creatinine, bilirubin, alanine transaminase, aspartate gamma-glutamyl transferase determined at end fattening. Significantly...
