Purpose: Foodborne diseases are common in the developing countries due to predominant poor food handling and sanitation practices, particularly as a result of inadequate safety laws, weak regulatory structures, funding well lack appropriate education for food-handlers. The most frequently involved foods disease outbreaks animal origin. However, spite adequate legislation laws governing abattoir operation Malaysia, compliance with requirements during meat processing waste disposal is...
This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of constant heat stress on growth performance and protein metabolism in skeletal muscle Arbor Acres broilers.Two hundred seventy 21-day-old broilers with similar body weight (1298 ± 28 g) were selected for a 3-week trial (29-49 days age). The randomly assigned three groups including control group, group pair-fed group. Up-regulation rectal temperature mRNA expression shock 70 liver indicate that model success. average daily gain, feed...
To determine the effect of astragalus and ginseng polysaccharides (APS, GPS) on immune response improvement H5N1 vaccine, 360-day-old broilers were randomly divided into 8 groups 45 chicks, comprising APS (1–3); GPS (4–6); vaccine group (7); blank control (8) (without polysaccharide vaccine). From day 12 after hatch 1–3 given 4–6 with both at 100, 200, 400 (mg/kg), respectively. At 15 hatch, 1–7 vaccinated 0.3 mL subcutaneously; daily weight gain (DWG) serum Ig antibody (by HI-test) measured...
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are non-coding RNAs that regulate mRNA expression by degradation or translational inhibition. We investigated the underlying molecular mechanisms of skeletal muscle development based on differentially expressed genes and miRNAs. compared miRNA from chicken at embryonic day E11, E16 one post-hatch (P1). The interaction networks were constructed, according to target prediction results integration analysis up-regulated with down regulated miRNAs down-regulated |log2fold...
Purpose: This study aims to investigate the occupational hazards among abattoir workers associated with noncompliance meat processing and waste disposal laws in Terengganu State, Malaysia. Occupational are major source of morbidity mortality animal due exposure many hazardous situations their daily practices. infections mostly contracted by could be caused iatrogenic or transmissible agents, including viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites toxins produced these organisms. Materials methods: The...
Abstract Ancylostoma tubaeforme may infect canids, felids and humans, pose a potential risk to public health. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) techniques were used amplify the complete mitochondrial (mt) genome sequence of A. from cats analyse its characteristics after molecular identification based on internal transcribed spacer ITS1+ sequence. The results show that mt (GenBank accession number KY070315) was 13,730 bp in length, including 12 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) two...
Abstract Dipetalonema gracile is a common parasite in squirrel monkeys ( Saimiri sciureus ), which can cause malnutrition and progressive wasting of the host, lead to death case massive infection. This study aimed identify suspected D. worm from dead monkey by means molecular biology, amplify its complete mitochondrial genome polymerase chain reaction (PCR) sequence analysis. The results identified as , full length was 13,584 bp, contained 22 tRNA genes, 12 protein-coding two rRNA one...
Stingless bees are important pollinators of cultivated and wild plants, contributing significantly to biodiversity food security. Conserving pollinator plant interactions is essential secure these ecosystems services. The use morphological features in the identification stingless genus Hypotrigona extremely difficult, due many similarities among species resulting taxonomic ambiguity. Here, we apply both traditional morphometrics DNA barcoding as complementary tools for three from Kenya:...
To study prokaryotic expression and subcellular localization of α-13 giardin in Giardia lamblia trophozoites, gene was amplified cloned into vector pET-28a(+). The positive recombinant plasmid transformed E. coli BL21(DE3) for by using IPTG autoinduction system (ZYM-5052). target protein validated SDS-PAGE Western blotting purified Ni-NTA Resin. Rabbits were immunized with fusion proteins preparation polyclonal antibody; then the intracellular location determined fluorescence immunoassay....
Poor management of abattoirs results in air and water pollution especially resident’s their close proximity. The objevtive the study was to investigate effect poor on quality life health residents vicinity. A cross sectional survey conducted within two month period. Fifty six buildings located approximately five kilometers radius abattoir were randomly selected for interview using questionnaire. Among 56 interviewed, 20 (35.7%) sicked. Almost half (33.9%) suspected sickness be related...
Abstract An amylase-producing strain was isolated from soy sauce and designated as Bacillus subtilis ZJ-1. Purification of α-amylase B. ZJ-1 to homogeneity by ethanol fractionation, ultrafiltration, Sephadex G-100 gel filtration resulted in recovery 8.9% a specific activity 542.7 U/mg protein. The molecular mass estimated be 58 kD sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). enzyme reached its maximum at pH 5.0 temperature 50°C. remained 89.4 ± 3.0% 40°C. retained 87.7...
Toxascaris leonina is a common parasitic nematode of wild mammals and has significant impacts on the protection rare animals. To analyze population genetic characteristics T. from South China tiger, its mitochondrial (mt) genome was sequenced. Its complete circular mt 14,277 bp in length, including 12 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA 2 rRNA non-coding regions. The nucleotide composition biased toward A most start codon stop were TTG TAG, 4 genes ended with an incomplete codon. There 13...
