dairy farmers have been longing for simple and economical methods of early pregnancy diagnosis. urine based biochemical and mineral assays could be one of those methods, owing to the ease of sample collection and relatively simple and economical assays involved. however, basic information on changes in urinary composition during early pregnancy in cattle is lacking. this study was designed to e...

The effect of genotype and sex of Nigerian indigenous chickens (dwarf, Fulani ecotypes, neck, frizzle and normal feathered) on blood serum electrolytes and biochemical parameters were investigated using 40 chickens. The collected data were subjected to analysis via a 2 way ANOVA. The results revealed serum levels of sodium, potassium, chloride, uric acid, glucose, total protein, creatinin, albu...

abstractbackground and objectives: the cultivated tobacco (nicotiana tabacum) is a tropical and annual plant, consisting of a number of species or hybrids belonging to the solanaceae family. bio-chemical reaction to viral infection is different for various plants .one of the most important defensive mechanisms of the host plant against pathogen agents, is biochemical defense and their related c...

The ethanolic extract of Ficus carica leaves was screened for hepatoprotective and antioxidant activity in hepatotoxic Albino rats induced via carbon tetrachloride. The degree of protection was measured by estimating biochemical parameters such as serum glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (SGOT), serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase (SGPT), total protein (TP), total albumin (TA), alkaline phos...
