...e months with an average bodyweight of 27.77 ±1.09 kg were randomly distributed to five different treatments, ten lambs each, as follow: 1. Alfalfa hay and barley grain (ABG); 2. Pelleted alfalfa hay and barley (PAB); 3. TMR1 (25.67% NDF); 4. TMR2 (30.88% NDF); and 5. TMR3 (55.93% NDF). Lambs were housed in an individual pen for 90 days. Lambs were weighed every two weeks and feed intake was recorded weekly. Rumen fluid samples were collected monthly af...

...pawning event and female bodyweight were evaluated. At each spawning, a female could produce 120000-1250000 eggs which hatched into 80,000-950,000 nauplii. The egg hatching rate at each spawning varied from 27.4% to 86.3% without particular patterns of correlation with female body weight. The fecundity of pond-reared female P. monodon varied from 2 100 to 9 400 eggs per gram of bodyweight, and females with medium size...

Nanoparticle Tactics for the Oral Delivery of Insulin in Alloxan-Induced Hyperglycemia in Rat (Rattus norvegicus domestica) Model
...ontrol group. Similarly, bodyweight was decreased significantly (P<0.05) in all alloxan treated groups compared to negative control. There was significant falling in blood glucose level in insulin with nanoparticle treated group (T3) compared to only insulin treated group (T2) and (T1) that was received alloxan. The present study shows that insulin administration of oral route with nanoparticles was significantly decrease blood glucose levels and increase b...

...10 years old having mean bodyweight of 680±50 kg was studied in breeding and Non-breeding season. The camels were fed with gram-straws, natural vegetation and twice day water. Deworming was performed before the start of trial. Haematological and blood biochemical parameters such as haemoglobin (Hb), red-blood-cells (RBC) and white-blood-cells (WBC) count, packed-cell-volume (PCV), glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, total protein, urea and creatinine c...

...ite, energy homeostasis, bodyweight, reproduction and immunity. However, its roles are still limited in teleosts. In the present study, a leptin gene was characterized from the darkbarbel catfish (Pseudobagrus vachellii) and its expression patterns in response to different feeding status were investigated. The cDNA of the pvleptin was 1186 bp long, containing a 519 bp open reading frame (ORF) that predicted to encode a protein of 172 amino acids. Multiple Lept...

Results showed a significant reduction of blood glucose level in the extract-treated rats (p <0.5) especially at 200 mg/kg and 400 mg/kg body weight. Samples were obtained for some biochemical (parameters) related to oxidant and antioxidants such as antioxidant enzymes, Reduced glutathione (GSH) activity, Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and Malondialdehyde (MDA) activity. When compared control and ...

These Omega-3-fatty acids treated rats showed significant decrease in blood glucose level and rise in serum insulin as compared to positive control group (P < 0.001). At the same time, they showed significantly increased expression of insulin gene along with transcription factor PDX1 in group A (P < 0.001). It was concluded that the effect of appropriate dosage of O3FAs on the transac...

Twenty-one (21) multivariate traits were taken of young Thalli sheep aged 0-12 months in Thall area of Punjab, Pakistan. Morphometric traits measured were withers height (WH), head width (HW), head length (HL), body length (BL), ear width (EW), ear length (EL), neck width (NW), neck leng...

The objective of the study was to evaluate the effects of two defaunating agents, sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) and dioctyl sodium sulphosuccinate (DOSS), on physical examination, feed intake, bodyweight, and the protozoal, biochemical, and histo-anatomical compositions of the rumen in native-bred goats. Fifteen healthy female goats were used; five of them were ...
