TJF: SF Services, PO Box 5489, Little Rock, Arkansas, 72119; RCT, KH-D: W234 Veterinary Medicine, University of Missouri, Columbia, Missouri, 65211 eports concerning the effects of weaning age on pig performance in the nursery and the ability to eliminate pathogens conflict. Wiseman, et al., suggested that the ability to successfully eradicate pathogens increases as weaning age declines.1 Clark...

Sunn pest is one of the most important cereal pests that affect both grain yield and quality of cerealin Iran. One potential control strategy is to use entomopathogenic fungi such as Beauveriabassiana Vuillemin as mycoinsecticide to control this pest. Naturally infested Sunn pests inKermanshah province were collected and brought to laboratory. 10 isolates were selected forfurther analysis in th...

Bipolaris oryzae causes rice brown spot disease which reduces rice yield with substantial global impact. Streptomycetes isolated from rice fields of Guilan Province, Iran, showed antifungal activity against the tested pathogen. From five active Streptomyces spp. isolates, isolate G showed high antagonistic activity. To determine its taxonomical identity, its colonies character...

Actinomycetes were isolated from marine sediment samples collected from the east coast of Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. Well diffusion and agar plug methods were used for the evaluation of antibiotic production by these isolates against drug resistant Methicillin- resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin resistant Enterococci (VRE). The potential isolate VITBRK2 was mass cultured for...

samples from the kidney of 100 diseased fish with signs of haemorrhagic septicemia and 50 samples from outlet water of fish farms were taken aseptically and cultured. in the laboratory, 75 colonies of gram-negative bacteria were biochemically diagnosed as motile aeromonads in our bacteriology laboratory unit using api 20e rapid identification system. the genotype identification using specific p...

abstract- in this study, texture profile analysis and a creep test were used to determine the textural quality attributes of fish protein isolates and conventional surimi. these isolates were made from raw materials obtained from filleting processes of silver carp (hypophthalmichthys molitrix) using acid and alkaline aided treatments. texture profile analysis was performed in order to obtain ha...

The therapeutic effects of praziquantel (PZQ) against a Schistosoma mansoni isolate derived from Nectomys squamipes (isolate R) and a susceptible isolate (BH) were analyzed in Swiss mice by fecal egg counting, adult worm reduction and oogram pattern. Infected mice were orally administrated with 62.5mg/kg (group 1), 125mg/kg (group 2), 250mg/kg (group 3) and 500mg/kg (group 4), each dose divided...
