...loprid on photosynthetic pigments and antioxidative enzymes in Brassica juncea L. cv. alankar was investigated. Forty-day-old pot plants were exposed to different concentrations of the insecticide, ranging from 0 to 40 grams active ingredient per hectare (g.a.i ha-1) through foliar spray. Analyses were done at days 3, 7, and 15 after treatment. Lipid peroxidation rates and contents of proline, ascorbate (ASC), glutathione (GLU), antioxidative enzymes; superoxi...

Proline application improved the efficiency of salt tolerance of rice cultivars, Shaheen basmati showed better response in terms of yield than Super basmati. In crux, foliar applications of 50 mM proline at seedling and vegetative stages are more effective for achieving the best kernel yield under saline cond...

Genetic engineering might be used for production invaluable microalgae compounds. Microalgae consider a promising source of omega-3 fatty acids (n-3 FAs), which have beneficial effects for humans and animals. Knowledge for microalgae effects on productive, reproductive and therapeutic performan...

This experimental study used a Randomized Block Design with a Split Plot pattern. The ducks were divided into three groups. Each group is further classified into three weight classes. The variables observed were the number of erythrocytes, hemoglobin levels, hematocrit percentage, the number of lymphocyte...

...>Carotenoids are natural pigments, synthesized in photosynthetic organisms e.g., plants, bacteria, and algae, while carotenoids also be synthesized in some non-photosynthetic fungi or bacteria. The color gamut of carotenoids is from colorless to yellow, orange to red color, with variations reflected in many vegetables, fruits and flowers. They are categorized into two types: (1) xanthophylls and (2) carotenes. For instance, lycopene is found in tomatoes and wa...

The aim of this review is to provide an update of the current knowledge of microalgae as a supplement or feed additive to substitute FM and FO in aquafeeds. This review will provide a platform to highlight the potential of microalgae-based aquafeeds for a sustainable aqua...

The production system did not significantly impact dressing out, visceral development, Warner-Bratzler Shear Force – WBSF and meat pH. In contrast, 84-day-old rabbits reared in cages displayed reduced digestive organ development, decreased caecal acetic acid and increased butyric acid concentration, compared to their counterparts. When comparing slaughter ages, the 84-day-old ...

Harvesting at a lower age of < 2 months gives fewer phytochemicals than at 3-4.5 months, which seems to be optimal. It was also found that E. helioscopia, (sun spurge or madwoman’s milk) from Arrang District Bajaur contains the highest phytoconstituents of all studied sites. Additional...
