... of supplementing weaner lamb diets with diatomaceous earth (DME) on weight gain and gastrointestinal parasite load. Forty-eight Dohne merino weaner lambs weighing 31.4 ±0.55kg were randomly assigned to 1 of 4 dietary treatments: 0% DME (T1), 2% DME (T2), 5% DME (T3), 10% DME (T4) of dry matter(DM) and twelve animals were used per treatment. Animals were allowed to graze at a Kikuyu pasture and were supplemented with ...

The data obtained after 20 days showed that the fresh weight and dry weight of each tested weed were significantly reduced compared to the treatment with water (control). Germination, root length (cm), shoot length (cm) and chlorophyll content of the...

Our results showed that the number of S. valida larvae, the percentage of fresh damaged roots, and leaf emission were assessed. There were fewer S. valida larvae and damaged roots in the treatments with fruitless bunches and fiber at 180 days and with leaves at 90 ...

G1 (ten lambs) received Silymarin (420 mg/kg) orally, G2 (ten lambs) received Silymarin (210 mg/kg) orally, while G3 (ten lambs) received distal water (control group). Several parameters are used in the current study to evaluate silym...

Twenty one thin-tailed lambs (aged 3 months) were allocated into a completely randomised design with 3 treatments of feeding level, namely T1= 4% body weight (BW), T2 = 5.5% BW and T3 = ad libitum. The diet was given in pellet form, containing 61.79% total digestible nutrients (TDN) and 13.74% crude protein (CP). The lambs were raised from an initial body we...

The reason behind this low AWPI is the lack of water management knowledge, poor access to water resources, poor coping strategies, and lack of fertilizers and pesticides. On the other hand, union councils Hayaseri and Tormang were found with very low agricultural water poverty ...

The findings of this study justify the use of truss networks for diagnostic identification for several species of portunid crabs apart from conventional morphometry. The study will be of immense use particularly in providing intriguing insights for species identification and characteri...

The study evaluated 100 sexually mature and healthy ewes aged between 3 and 4 years. Body weight and age were recorded for each animal. Serum samples were collected to measure cortisol hormone levels using ELISA kits from ELK Biotechnology. The study re...

Histologically, the heart wall was composed of three layers (pericardium, myocardium and endocardium), the pericardium was composed of the parietal and visceral layers, and the parietal layer is made up of dense connective tissue. The visceral layer was inner visceral epicardium an...

Awassi ewes with twin births exhibited significantly higher (P ≤ 0.05) follicle-stimulating hormone levels (1.13 ± 0.11 ng/ml) compared to those with single births. Conversely, lamb weights at birth (4.08 ± 0.27 kg) and weaning (22.25 ± 1.41 kg), as wel...

The genetic analysis of both IL-10 and ORF103 genes showed high sequence similarity with sequences from Turkey and Saudi Arabia. This study provides information about the molecular characteristics of SPV after the genetic analysis of the important genes of this virus. This gives us ideas to develop better diagnostic tools and control measures and help to decrease t...
