ABSTRACT:This study investigated the effect of house feed on birds’ performances at different market age. A 6-day trial with two house feeds (AIT and Paragon) and a standard broiler diet were conducted to know the weight gain, feed consumption and survivability of birds harvested at 28-day and 35-day age. A total of 270 birds were divided into three dietary treatments having three replicate with 15 birds each. The experiments repeated during two different seasons. Ad libitum feed and water and standard management practices were provided. Results indicate that lowered CP contents of house feeds markedly influenced weight gain of broilers. Birds on standard broiler diet gained on an average of 499g compared to those of two house feeds of 127 and 194g and these massive gap was due to feed formulation of the diets. Harvesting age influenced a lot; heavier birds harvested on 35-day achieved higher (p>0.01) gain than those of 28-day (363 vs 184g) by consuming higher amount of feed. Again season had no significant influence on weight gain, though differences in body weights were large throughout the study period. Feed consumptions .........

ABSTRACT: Background: Half of the global population's daily diet includes rice, and though its production ranked globally in third place, rice crops are concentrated in two countries, China and India, which account for 51,3% of global production. Though one could think of large areas with highly technical agro-industrial production, the facts show the opposite: 80% of global rice production is grown by small-scale farmers on farms less than five hectares. Hence, the purpose of this article is to contribute to a better understanding of small-scale farmers growing rice, by analyzing some of their productive and social characteristics, in the case of Latin America in general, and particularly in Brazil, Colombia and Ecuador.........

ABSTRACT: Eye problems in all animals should be addressed as a priority. Early examination by the veterinarian can save corneal scarring, pain and inflammation, vision, and even loss of the eye itself. Moreover, Canine ophthalmology research was always highlighted the main important problems of canine eyes whether they are infectious or non-infectious, However, canine eyes are an immune-privileged organ that is provided with systems to prevent and control the local immune response, which could have a detrimental impact. A dog's eyes perform a nearly miraculous function converting reflected light into nerve impulses that the brain uses to form images of the world. To do this well, all the various parts of the eye must be healthy. Unfortunately, several diseases can disrupt the way a dog's eyes function.

ABSTRACT: Cocoa (Theobroma cacao L) is an essential commodity in the Indonesian plantation sector. However, the recent cocoa production, especially in Aceh, is decreasing. Plant-disturbing organisms, such as termites, trigger this condition. Then, the control has been carried out using chemical pesticides that can pollute the environment. It is necessary to use eco-friendly pesticides such as the use of entomopathogenic fungus. Therefore, this study determines the potential of local isolates of entomopathogenic fungus originating from cocoa plantations to be bioinsecticides. The fungus was explored by soil sampling and dead insects from cocoa plantations. The isolates from.......

ABSTRACT: Background: Dystocia refers to the type of birth that does not occur within physiological limits and generally requires serious interventions from the outside. The present study was carried out to investigate the effect of dystocia on total thiol and native thiol, which are oxidative stress markers, in Aleppo goats and kids. Materials and Methods: A total of 40 Aleppo goats were used in the study. Goats were divided into 2 groups according to the type of birth. The first group of the study (Group 1, n=20); normally born goats and their offspring included the second group of the study (Group 2, n=20); dystocia formed shaped goats and their offspring. Blood samples were taken from the goats and kids in both study groups to be used in postnatal oxidative stress (total thiol, native thiol) evaluations and serum was extracted. Obtained data were analyzed with Independent samples t-test. Pearson correlation coefficients were calculated to determine the relationships between measurements........

ABSTRACT:A study was organized on the diversity and abundance of insect fauna in agriculture lands of Mohacha village, wazirpur tehsil, Sawai Madhopur, Rajasthan. The present study was focused to determine the species richness, dominance and evenness of insect fauna from agriculture lands. The study was carried out during the month from May 2019 to October 2019. A total of 3426 insects from 7 orders, 31 families and 67 species were recorded. This study shows that Hymenoptera (37.04%) was the most dominant order according to total number of individuals, followed by Coleoptera (25.18%), Orthoptera (12.98%), Lepidoptera (8.11%), Hemiptera (6.27%), Isoptera (5.86) and Diptera (4.25%). The Simpson's Reciprocal Index diversity is highest in order Coleoptera (20.28) and lowest in order Isoptera (1.00). The species richness, evenness and diversity of insects were calculated by Margalef's Index, Pielou's Index and Shannon-Wiener Index respectively.
