Livestock are an integral part of the agriculture sector and encompass a great impact on the national economy. An eco-friendly alternative to enhance production, prevent and treat disease conditions of animal is a great challenge for animal nutritionists. Keeping farm animals healthy is necessary to obtain healthy animal products. The use of naturally occurring compounds like herbs, herbal prep...

Within the field of retrovirus, our knowledge of foamy viruses (FV) is still limited. Their unique replication strategy and mechanism of viral persistency needs further research to gain understanding of the virus-host interactions, especially in the light of the recent findings suggesting their ancient origin and long co-evolution with their nonhuman hosts. Unquestionably, the most studied memb...

Lateral gene transfers (LGT), species to species transmission of genes by means other than direct inheritance from a common ancestor, have played significant role in shaping prokaryotic genomes and are involved in gain or transfer of important biological processes. Whether LGT significantly contributed to the composition of an animal genome is currently unclear. In nematodes, multiple LGT are s...

The use of bacteria to effect the degradation of serologically active carbohydrates was initiated by Avery and Dubos (1930; see also Dubos and Avery 1931) in studies on the capsular carbohydrate of Pneumococcus Type III; and other microorganisms capable of splitting polysaccharides of bacterial origin have since been found. The present report concerns the isolation and cultural characters of an...

Abstract Antioxidants are natural or synthetic substances that delay oxidation through one more mechanisms, such as scavenging free radicals, inhibiting lipid peroxidation, and complexing with metals, tissue destruction via oxidation. commonly used in animal feed the food industry to prevent of animal-origin products. Moreover, oxidants increasingly reproduction, especially for semen preservati...
