A 6 week study was conducted to assess the effects of wood betony (WB), Stachys lavandulifolia extract on growth performance, hematological and biochemical parameters of common carp, Cyprinus carpio. Different levels of the WB extract (0, 2, 4 and 8 % weight per weight, W/W, 0WB, 2WB, 4WB and 8WB) in the diet were used. The results showed that final weight and weight gain were significantly imp...

Abstract The objective of the present study was to explore potential avian hypophysis induce breeding climbing perch. pituitary glandof local chicken and duck its combination tested at same dose 0.5 ml/kg body weight (BW) broodfish. Therefore, treatments as follows; treatment A = BW Ovaprim (control; Treatment B= extract; C= D= 0.25 extract + extract. ANOVA test showed that extracts had a signi...

1. Perfusion of isolated thyroid glands from rabbits, made refractory to the action of the thyro-stimulating factor from the hypophysis by repeated injections for 2 months, has shown that in this condition the thyroid epithelium responds to pituitary stimulation. 2. The serum from refractory rabbits does not neutralize completely the thyro-stimulating effect of anterior pituitary extract upon a...

Outbreaks of koi sleepy disease (KSD) caused by carp edema virus (CEV) may seriously affect populations of farmed common carp, one of the most important fish species for global food production. The present study shows further evidence for the involvement of CEV in outbreaks of KSD among carp and koi populations: in a series of infection experiments, CEV from two different genogroups could be tr...

Prussian carp (Carassius gibelio) are one of the most noxious non-native species in Eurasia. Recently, Prussian carp, a non-native freshwater fish species, were genetically confirmed in Alberta, Canada and have been rapidly expanding their range in North America since establishment. Given their rapid range expansion, there is an increasing need to determine how Prussian carp may impact native s...

The ability of the pancreas, from various types of dogs, to correct diabetic hyperglycemia has been studied (Table XI). The pancreas from one animal was united by a vascular union with the neck blood vessels of another dog which had been pancreatectomized for 20 hours. The time necessary to reduce the blood sugar level to 120 mg. per cent was determined. 1. Pancreas from 6 hypophysectomized dog...

Immunocytochemical staining demonstrated N-acetylatedB-endorphin (N-AcB-End) and a -MSH in a few corticotrophs. RIA's of crude anterior pituitary extract and molecular sieving chromatography demonstrates that the major portion is B-End sized with a significant proportion being N-acetylated and an a-MSH peak. Molecular sieving chromatography of extracted plasma demonstrated a similar pattern to ...

Composite culture of edible fishes (common carp, Cryprinus carpio; silver carp, Hypopthalmithys molitrix, grass carp, Ctenopharyngodon idella; catla, Catla catla; rohu, Labeo rohita; and mrigal, Cirrhinus mrigala) in rice fields in the Cauvery delta of Tamil Nadu, southern India, resulted in 81.0% reduction in the immature mosquito population of anophelines and 83.5% of culicines. Analysis of f...
