The present investigation was directed to determine the pathogenicity; bioefficacy and larvicidal activity of Bacillus sphaericus M3 against Anopheline and Culicine mosquitoes. B. sphaericus M3 showed high pathogenicity of 85.0% and 98.8% to Anopheline larvae, using vegetative cells or spores, respectively. In contrast, pathogenicity toward Culicine larvae was 45.0% and 48.8% for vegetative cel...

background:herbal methionine can be compared relative todl-methionine with evaluation of bioavailability of this source ofmethionine. objectives: an experiment was carried out todetermine the relative bioefficacy of herbal methionine (h-met)®relative to dl-methionine (dl-met) on performance criteria andimmunocompetence of met sources in male broilers. atotal of 160male broilers were fed a met-d...

In old age, the complex relation of food consumption with energy and nutrient requirements finds expression in both single and multiple nutritional problems. Addressing conditions affecting intake -- either from foods or from supplements -- endogenous production, bioefficacy and/or requirements can benefit nutritional health in old age through balancing requirements and supply.

3 Alachlor [2-chloro-N-(2,6-diethylphenyl)-N-(methoxymethyl)acetamide] is a 4 widely used herbicide that has been identified as a groundwater contaminant. Several 5 slow-release formulations (SRFs) of this herbicide have been examined for their 6 capacity to reduce its leaching and enhance weed control. A field experiment was 7 performed to determine alachlor leaching and bioefficacy in: (i) a ...

Plant food bioactives (PFBs) offer immense health benefits with a greater scope for treating various life-threatening diseases and lifestyle disorders. Knowing their therapeutic potentials, lot of research works are being carried out on formulating PFBs-loaded nano delivery systems (NDSs) to enhance bioefficacy. However, limited information available the interactions occurring at nano-bio inter...

This study was aimed at investigating the bioefficacy of organic compared with inorganic manganese (Mn) for eggshell quality. An amino acid-Mn complex or Mn sulfate monohydrate was used as the organic or inorganic Mn source. A total of six hundred forty-eight 50-wk-old layers (Hy-Line Brown) were divided into 9 groups; each group consisted of 6 replicates with 12 layers each. The feeding trial ...

Background. PermaNet® 3.0 (PN 3.0) is a combination long-lasting insecticidal net (LLIN) designed to have increased efficacy against pyrethroid-resistant malaria vectors. Field testing of this new tool under normal use has been limited. Here we report on a small-scale village trial carried out at two localities where malaria vectors were resistant to pyrethroid insecticides. Methods. Nets were ...
