The Bekang is a rich source of probiotics and may be suitable alternative to fermented feed AGPs for broilers. One-day old 240 broiler chicks were assigned 6 dietary treatments: T1 (basal ration), T2 ration + Bacitracin methylene disalicylate @ 0.5 g/kg basal T3 by Lactobacillus acidophilus 100 g/kg), T4 50 T5 75 g/kg) T6 g/kg). housed under deep litter system with vaccination deworming as per ...

INTRODUCTION Candida prophylaxis in ICU is still a matter of debate. Oral chemoprophylaxis has been advocated to reduce the incidence of Candida colonisation and infection. METHODS We performed a randomised trial studying a single drug (nystatin) versus control in surgical/trauma ICU patients. Multiple-site testing for fungi was performed in each patient on ICU admission (T0) and subsequently...

Abstract. Ammonia is one of the most widespread foraminiferal genera worldwide. Three phylotypes (Ammonia sp. T1, T2 and T6), commonly encountered in northeast Atlantic, are usually associated with morphospecies tepida. The biogeographic distribution these three types was previously investigated coastal environments around Great Britain based on genetic assignations. A new method recently devel...

Acetaminophen or paracetamol (APAP) overdose is a common cause of liver injury. Silymarin (SLM) is a hepatoprotective agent widely used for treating liver injury of different origin. In order to evaluate the possible beneficial effects of SLM, Balb/c mice were pretreated with SLM (100 mg/kg b.wt. per os) once daily for three days. Two hours after the last SLM dose, the mice were administered AP...

A study was carried out to determine the effectiveness of newly synthesized chemical ‘4-[3-(4-biphenylyl)-1, 6-dihydro-6-iminopyridazin-1-yl] butyronitrile hydro bromide against beanaphid, Aphis craccivora, under six treatments: T1 (20 ppm), T2 (40 T3 (60 T4 (80 T5 (100 and untreated control T6. Aphid numbers peaked in January it zero February. The best efficacy administered doses found followe...
