In recent years, interest in the use of peat as a feed supplement has increased, particularly due to its capacity prevent enteric diseases and stimulate growth animals poultries. Peat is an easily available natural material source biologically active substances widely used, not only agriculture but human animal medicine well. Biological activity various preparations associated with fluctuations...

Geese (Anser cygnoides) possess stronger ability of roughage digestion and utilization than other poultries, hence, it has become the focus attention scientists. Duodenal, jejunum ileum were mainly participated in food nutrient absorption, while cecum was responsible for biological fermentation. Effects on geese’s cecal microbiota community by feeding with all-grass diet have been investigated,...

tick-borne diseases like tick-borne relapsing fever are a public health problem in iran. its occurrence is more prevalent in north part of country. in order to determine the distribution of soft ticks, argasidae, and their infection with borrelia species in hamadan province, 53 villages were selected randomly. a total of 4805 ticks were collected directly from human dwellings, poultries, and an...

BACKGROUND Ticks are important vectors and reservoirs of Crimean Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) virus. Human beings may be infected whenever the normal life cycle of the infected ticks on non-human vertebrate hosts is interrupted by the undesirable presence of humans in the cycle. A total of 26 species of Argasid and Ixodid ticks have been recorded in Iran; including nine Hyalomma, two Rhipicep...

Human industrial activities, inevitably, generate industrial wastes, consisting of, inorganic and organic materials, discharged from factories, fisheries, poultries and food processing industries. Degrading or handling these wastes, as unused disposals, without acquiring any additional benefits has led to an idea to develop a suitable technology to utilize bio-organic wastes. Chicken feathers h...

Background; Feather waste is generated in large amounts as a by-product of commercial poultry processing. The main component of feather is keratin. The main purpose of this study was to identify Bacillus spp. (the keratinolytic bacteria) that are able to degrade the feather for producing keratin. Methods; Bacillus spp. Were isolated from the waste of poultries located in Miyaneh city. The bact...

introduction: toxoplasma gondii is one of the most important foodborne pathogens. toxoplasmosis causes abortion and neonatal loss in livestock and imposes significant losses to farming industry. prevalence of t. gondii in sheep and goats was investigated in three adjacent geographical areas within gilan province in north of iran. methods: serum samples were collected from 247 sheep and 155 goat...

Introduction: Toxoplasmosis is a widely prevalent zoonotic disease, caused by T. gondii. Chickens, consumed widely in many countries, are considered as one of the most important hosts in the epidemiology of T. gondii infection because they could be a main source of infection for both cats and humans. There was no information regarding T. gondii infection in chickens in this area, therefore, thi...
