...well known anti-diabetic nutritional herbs. However, inadequate data is available regarding their molecular mechanism of action. In this study, we used a new combination of the aforementioned herbs and Trigonella foenum graceum as a separate treatment. We investigated their effect on the blood glucose level, body weight, expression of some of the insulin signaling genes in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue including insulin receptor (INSR), insulin receptor s...

...easible, and alternative nutritional strategies can be followed, including the use of balancing of nutrients. One such nutritional strategy for reducing stress is the incorporation of Tenebrio molitor (mealworm) as a feed additive. Therefore, this study was designed to investigate the impact of T. molitor as a feed supplement on the performance, immunity, and economics of heat-stressed broilers. A total of 150 (day-old) broi...

For nutritional composition analysis of treatment feed, the results revealed that Treatment 3 exhibits the highest protein content (12.11%) among the treatment groups, surpassing Treatment 1, Treatment 2, and the control group, which have protein levels of 8.9%, 10.08%, and 6.53%, respectively. Treatment 1 showed the best growth results. It produced an average daily gain of 0.36 ± 0.07 kg, increased body length by 4 cm to 81.00 &plu...

The present study aimed to determine the dietary nutrient profile of six commercial cat food available in Malaysia with comparison to the actual requirement of cats. The results showed that Grade A cat food product has a significantly higher protein, fat, moisture, and ash content in comparison to Grade B cat food. Meanwhile, Grade B has a significantly higher carbohydrate content as compared to Gra...

..., including litter size, nutrition, and stress. Stress could contribute to economic losses in the sheep farming industry by decreasing the lambing rate and litter size. Therefore, this study investigated the association of cortisol hormone with litter size and lamb weight in Awassi ewes. 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...

Thus, the current study intends to determine systematic validity and to assess the weight–length relationship of the sipuncula living along the central coast of Vietnam. Species identity is evidenced by the key features of external morphology and internal anatomy. The results show that all these sipuncula have striking similarities to the sipuncula Siphonosoma australes (Keferstein, 1865),...

Hence, ultrasound which is a non- thermal processing was chosen as an alternative method to minimize the quality loss during the processing of Kelulut honey. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of ultrasound processing on the quality of Kelulut honey. The ultrasound processing was conducted at five different amplitudes (20, 40, 60, 80, and 100%) and three different...

...hat loach meat has great nutritional value. There is a scarcity of data on their population structure, breeding behavior, and growth biology. Lepidocephalichthys thermalis, a member of the superfamily Cobitidae and the order Cypriniformes, is a significant alternative species for Indian aquaculture. Aquaculture breeding strategies for loaches must be carefully investigated in order to meet their rising demand. Owe to the aquaculture potential of L. thermalis, ...

...ipponense that meets its nutritional requirements. Generally, soybean lecithin oil (SO) is used as a major source of phospholipids and an emulsifier in aquatic animal feed, which is very costly. In recent years, as a good emulsifier, lysolecithin attracted increasing interest in fish species. In the present study, lysolecithin as a substitute for SO was used to observe the growth and immune performance of M. nipponense. Four types of diets containing similar b...
