Phosphorus is a nonrenewable mineral and essential macronutrient for all living organisms. Nevertheless, sustainable utilization of phosphorous questionable due to the low bioavailability phosphorus. Nano formulation cutting-edge option increase If various chemical physical techniques are available nano formulation, biological route great concern its simple, eco-friendly cost-effective nature. Among methods, microbial synthesis currently focused way smart ability microbes nanoparticles....
Purpose: Sri Lankan dairy sector faces challenges due to seasonal variability and suboptimal quality of forage for cattle feeding. While silage offers year-round availability forage, concerns arise regarding potential degradation during ensiling. Microbial inoculants are utilized expedite the ensiling minimize deterioration. This study involves isolation characterization lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from silage, with aim identifying candidates be used as inoculants.Research Method:...

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major global challenge that disproportionately affects low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Environmental contamination by resistant bacteria from animal production facilities driver of the spread AMR through food chain, requiring robust one-health control approach. Traditional culture-based surveillance time-consuming less sensitive, fails to fully capture spectrum AMR, evolutionary trends, epidemiological patterns spread. Whole-genome sequencing...
Phosphorous (P) is a nonrenewable and one of the most important macronutrients for all living organisms. The formation complexes with cations such as Al, Fe, Ca reduces solubility P leading to limiting absorption by plants. Therefore, we need apply excessive amounts through conventional fertilizers. However, plants can use only small portion these added fertilizers whenever those become unavailable. utilizing excess phosphate lead various environmental issues like eutrophication....
Official journal of the Postgraduate Institute Agriculture, University Peradeniya. Tropical Agricultural Research publishes complete accounts research outstanding significance, together with critical review articles on all aspects agriculture including agronomy and crop production, horticulture, agricultural biology, food nutrition, soil water resource management, engineering, economics, animal science, biotechnology, plant protection, genetics breeding.Tropical is now indexed in DOAJ.
Ticks are the most important ecto-parasites of livestock in tropical and subtropical areas, responsible for severe economic losses livestock. a major veterinary concern as they transmit pathogens, produce tick paralysis or toxicosis, reduce production The cost worldwide additional burden protecting against ticks tick-borne diseases now estimated to be billions dollars annually. main objective this study was determine diversity farm animals from selected areas Sri Lanka. Additionally,...
Established cell lines are a critical research tool that can reduce the use of laboratory animals in research. Certain strains genetically modified mice, such as Atm-/- and p53-/- consistently develop thymic lymphoma early life 1,2, thus, serve reliable source for derivation murine T-cell lines. Here we present detailed protocol development established without need to add interleukins described previous protocols 1,3. Tumors were harvested from mice aged three six months, at earliest...

Broiler chicken litter (BCL) is a cheap manure for vegetable crops in developing countries. Extensive antibiotic use poultry production could increase resistant bacteria (ARB) and eventually crop root microbiome. We investigated the prevalence of ARB BCL from medium- large-scale farms (n = 33) carrot (Daucus carota) grown BCL-applied soils Sri Lanka. All samples contained aerobic to 10 μg·mL −1 oxytetracycline or enrofloxacin. The abundance determined by viable plate-count method ranged...
A pilot facility was developed to evaluate the digestion efficiency of mixed fruit peel waste by black soldier fly ( Hermetia illucens (L.) (Diptera: Stratiomyidae); BSF) larvae in Sri Lanka. Larval biomass characterised proximate analysis and techno-functional properties BSF flour protein were determined. cost-benefit conducted assess feasibility operating an onsite for a medium scale juice manufacturer. The observed optimum feeding rate 1.5 g/larva. bioconversion 15.41 achieved. reduction...
The aim of the study was to identify canine parvovirus type 2 (CPV-2) subtypes circulating among a selected population domestic dogs and cats in Sri Lanka investigate evolutionary patterns Lankan viruses context contemporary global CPV-2 sequences. Altogether, 40/61 (65.6%) samples tested were positive for DNA, including 31/48 (64.6%) 9/13 (69%) cats. All three (CPV-2a, CPV-2b CPV-2c) detected, with CPV-2a being most common. International median joining haplotype network 291 sequences...

A 6-year-old 23-kg intact male mixed-breed dog was presented to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital, University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka, due sudden blindness.Deworming and routine vaccinations were current. Clinical Gross FindingsOn physical examination, body condition score 4/9 (9-point system).Ophthalmic examination revealed bilaterally sluggish menace response, negative pupillary light reflex, mydriasis, moderate bilateral conjunctival hyperemia, uveitis.In addition, white subretinal...
Abstract Background The majority of Sri Lankans may select imported powdered milk over fresh milk, and a significant portion Gross Domestic Product in Lanka is spent on dairy products imports. Demand for be hindered by consumer preference towards consumption the lack hygienic standards milk. current study was conducted to identify factors contributing evaluate best practices farms. Methods took place Kandy district, Lanka. Two surveys were conducted: first survey included questions...
