This study assessed the smoke, hydrocarbon (HC), and carbon monoxide (CO) emissions from a range of age groups car types. The results show distinct trend rising with vehicle age, older cars having greatest emission levels. Older (20+ years) had CO (18.83 times higher), HC (5.81 smoke (3.97 higher) than newer (0–5 years), suggesting that play major role in air pollution. Similar to cars, motorbikes showed significant increase emissions. In group people aged 5 10, increased 0.63 7.00 times,...

This study aimed to quantify the reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) and particulate matter (PM) emissions from brick manufacturing sector Punjab, Pakistan, following increased adoption of Zigzag technology. Utilizing emission factors our previous research by Sheikh I.H. et al. (2024), estimated kilns 2019, assuming all were traditional BTK type. Subsequently, considering after June 2024 due enhanced enforcement Punjab Environmental Protection Agency, recalculated based on technology...

A study was conducted to evaluate the effect of nanosilver (NS) as feed additive on performance, blood biochemistry and intestinal histomorphology Vanaraja chicken. Chicks (180 day old) after one week age were distributed randomly into five treatment groups four replicates, each having 9 chicks. Treatment consisted T1 (Control) fed basal diet without any in T2, T3, T4 T5, NS added @ 20, 40, 60 80 mg/kg diet, respectively. Cumulative body weight gain also improved significantly with inclusion...

This study investigated the effects of different dietary inclusion levels Lavender essential oil (LEO) in free and nanoencapsulated form on intestinal gross microstructure changes subsequent nutrient digestibility broiler chicken.At 1 week age, 420 chicks were randomly allocated into 7 treatment groups with 4 replicate pens, each containing 15 birds.The experiment lasted till birds 42 days age.Dietary treatments included a corn-soybean based diet supplemented 0 (T1), 20 mg/kg Enramycin as...

A study has been conducted on a total 1200 no. of chicks out which 600 numbers (200 each Indigenous, Vanaraja and Crossbred) were reared under intensive system. All the types chicken fed uniform diet Chick (0-8 weeks), Grower (9-20 weeks) Layer (above 20 ration prepared with conventional feedstuffs as per BIS (1992).

Background: Kashmir Valley, one of the temperate regions India, has experienced an exponential increase in milk-production over last decades. This may be mainly attributed to massive cross-breeding ‘Local Cattle Valley’ with world-class dairy breeds like Jersey and Holstein-Friesian (HF), popularly known as Jersey-Crossbreds (JCB) Crossbreds (HFCB), respectively. However, no specific guidelines on their breed characteristics is available, which crucial for establishment, recognition...

Background: Feed is the single largest input which accounts for 60-70% of total cost poultry production. Sheep manure an unconventional feed relatively high in protein and energy levels can be used diet to reduce Inclusion exogenous enzymes will improve its nutritional value as it contains fibre utilization by birds. The performance broiler chicken fed with heat treated sheep (HSM) based diets supplement or without enzyme was studied. Methods: 210 chicks were randomly distributed five groups...
