This study determined the concentration of pesticides contaminating soil and water, effect on microbial activity physicochemical properties. Nutrient agar was used for enumeration total heterotrophic bacteria by pour plate method. Enumeration fungi done with Potato Dextrose Agar. Soil CO2-evolution estimated every 5-days 25 days. Total nitrogen using macro-Kjeldhal distillation Available phosph...

Sub-acute ruminal acidosis (SARA) is a gastrointestinal functional disorder in livestock characterized by low rumen pH, which reduces rumen function, microbial diversity, host performance, and host immune function. Dietary management is used to prevent SARA, often with yeast supplementation as a pH buffer. Almost nothing is known about the effect of SARA or yeast supplementation on ruminal prot...

This study aims to increase the in vitro ruminal degradability of oil palm fronds (OPFs) through enzymatic pretreatment. The isolated fungi were selected based on their lignocellulosic degrading enzyme activities. Eleven successfully isolated, and activities evaluated. Three fungi, F1, F2 F4 selected, they identified as Trichoderma harzianum MK027305, MK027306 Fusarium solani MK027309, respecti...

At birth, calves display an underdeveloped rumen that eventually matures into a fully functional rumen as a result of solid food intake and microbial activity. However, little is known regarding the gradual impact of pre-weaning diet on the establishment of the rumen microbiota. Here, we employed next-generation sequencing to investigate the effects of the inclusion of starter concentrate (M: m...

endophytes are organisms present in the internal tissues living in symbiotic association with plants. these organisms may be used as alternative source of many secondary metabolites production. the present study was conducted to explore the endophytic fungi that colonize the inner tissues of medicinal plant mimusops elengi l. out of 100 plant segments of both leaves and twigs of mimusops elengi...

The Svalbard reindeer relies on a highly active rumen microbial population of bacteria, fungi and protozoa for the utilization of cellulose and hemicellulose, the major components of growing plants (Rogers and Perkins, 1968). O n Svalbard the availability and quality of food changes during the year, ranging from fresh young forage in summer (July September), to a highly concentrated diet, inclu...

Various pretreatments are employed to increase the utilization of rice straw as a ruminant feed ingredient minimize its negative environmental impact. However, an efficient alternative is still needed. The purpose this study was evaluate ability ammonia and/or white-rot fungi (Pleurotus ostreatus) degrade lignin, nutritional value, and enhance rumen fermentability straw. Rice treated with basid...

fungicidal efficiency of iranian made benzalkonium chloride named akhgar, afshang and hamoon were evaluated on pure culture species of aspergillus nijer, candida ablicans and mucour according to the standard method no. 2442 issued by the institute of standards and industrial research of iran, from october 1993 to march 1994. suspensions were prepared in a way that each cubic centimeter having 3...
