The potential of the yeast component, mannanoligosaccharide (MOS) to ameliorate the effects of aflatoxicosis was examined in growing Japanese quail. The product was incorporated in the diet at 1 g/kg and was evaluated for its ability to reduce the deleterious effects of 2 mg total aflatoxin (AF; 82.30% AFB1, 2.06% AFB2, 7.68% AFG1 and 7.96% AFG2)/kg diet on Japanese quail chicks from 10 to 45 d...

The effects of some alternative feed additives for antibiotic growth promoters on performance and some slaughter characteristics were examined in broilers fed wheat-soya based basal starter and finisher diets. A total of 2160 one-day-old male broiler chicks were randomly allocated to six groups with six replicate pens per treatment. The treatments were the basal diet (Control), and the basal di...

BACKGROUND India faces a critical shortage of government doctors in rural and underserved areas. Several measures have been introduced to address the shortage, but significant problems still remain. The main aim of the current research was to understand the existing recruitment-related policies and systems in place for government doctors in Gujarat and to identify issues that prevent effective ...

INTRODUCTION In gout there are few instruments validated for the evaluation of activity, functional capacity or quality of life. It is not known if generic instruments such as the MOS-20, or specific for other illnesses, such as the AIMS, can be applied to patients with Gout. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinimetric characteristic of the MOS-20 and AIMS questionnaires, and their correlation with...

A study was conducted to evaluate the response of broilers to diets containing a mannan oligosaccharide, antibiotics, or a combination of antibiotics and mannan oligosaccharide. All diets were supplemented with copper sulfate to provide 250 mg/kg Cu in diets fed to 42 d and 62.5 mg/kg Cu in diets from 42 to 56 d, in addition to the 10 mg/kg provided in the trace mineral mix. Bio-Mos®, a mannan ...

This study explored the application of whole and defatted Moringa oleifera seed-derived coagulants in powder (P-MOS DP-MOS), aqueous extraction (AEP-MOS AEDP-MOS), saline (SEP-MOS SEDP-MOS) treatment a synthetic turbid water by coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation jar test apparatus. The performance M. was quantified compared with alum terms ability to neutralize restabilize suspension char...

2) sows receiving 1 g/kg of MOS during lactation, and dietary treatment: 1) basal diet (control), and 2) basal diet with MOS at 2 g/kg in prestarter and 1 g/kg in starter diets. The experimental design was applied in both the prestarter (28 to 44 d of age) and the starter (44 to 60 d of age) periods. Nutritive value of the diets was 2.5 Mcal NE/kg and 14.8 g/kg lysine for prestarter, and 2.5 Mc...

The Mo(13) clusters we previously reported were derived from MoS(2) flakes prepared from bulk MoS(2), although the nature of the precursor species was not fully understood. The existence of the clusters in the condensed phase was a question. Here we report the preparation of MoS(2) nanoflakes from elemental precursors using the sonochemical method and study the gas-phase clusters derived from t...
