The synergistic activities of cyclopropenoid fatty acids (CPFA), epoxyoleic acid, sesame seed oil, and autoxidized salmon oil with aflatoxin Bt were studied in rainbow trout. Sterculia foetida oil (49% sterculic, 7% malvalic acids) and Hibiscus syriacus oil (2% sterculic and 19% malvalic acids) were used as sources of CPFA. The combination of both 112 and 56 ppm CPFA procured from S, foetida oi...

This study used morphological characterization and phylogenetic analysis of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of nuclear ribosomal DNA to investigate the phylogeny of Passiflora species. The samples were collected from various regions of East Malaysia, and discriminant function analysis based on linear combinations of morphological variables was used to classify the Passiflora specie...

POPOVIĆ, M., M. GRDIŠA, T. M. HRŽENJAK: Glycolipoprotein G-90 obtained from the earthworm Eisenia foetida exerts antibacterial activity. Vet. arhiv 75, 119128, 2005. ABSTRACT G-90 is a glycolipoprotein mixture obtained from the tissue homogenate of earthworm Eisenia foetida (Annelida, Lumbricidae) which exhibits pleiotropic biological functions. The antibacterial activity of G-90 was investigat...

the aim of the current study was the screening the activity of 23 medicinal plants for decreasing the in vitro ruminal methane production, as well to and assess sheep ruminal in vitro fermentation parameters. 57.3 mg of each medicinal plants along with 142.7 mg control diet were weighted in 120 ml wheatons in 4 replicates. the samples were incubated using ruminal fluid obtained from 3 castrated...

This work sets out to investigate biological responses of Eisenia fetida to Cd, based on the bioavailable rather than total concentration of Cd, in soils. E. fetida was cultured for 14d in three selected Chinese soils amended with 0.1-40mgkg-1 Cd. Potentially bioavailable concentrations of Cd were measured in soil solution, in extractions using CaCl2 and HAc solutions, and using the technique o...
