the cotton bollworm, helicoverpa armigera (hübner), is a serious pest on a wide range of economic crops in many parts of the world. in this study, digestive proteolytic and amylolytic activities of h. armigera larvae (3rd to 5th instars) were evaluated on five main host plants including chickpea (cv hashem), cowpea (cv mashhad), soybean (cv 033), navybean (cv dehghan), and corn (cv sc 704) at 2...

Abstract Reducing the use of fishmeal (FM) in aquafeed means a significant saving amount FM at global level and reducing environmental impacts. One potential protein sources to replace shrimp diet is insects’ meal. Therefore, present study aimed examine effects replacing with mealworm (MW; Tenebrio molitor ) on growth, digestive enzymes activity hepatopancreatic biochemical indices Pacific whit...

Abstract We have evaluated the effects of different fish feeds on body composition, growth, and enzyme activities Labeo rohita (Rohu). In total, 240 fishes between average weights 24.77±2.15g were studied. The treatments applied in a completely randomized design, with 4 60 each. Treatments consisted four [Oryza (T1), AMG (T2), Aqua (T3), Supreme (T4)]. Body growth performance, evaluated. There ...

1. Normal serum protease is not specific; it is active in both dilute acid as well as alkaline media. It is destroyed by heating to 70 degrees C. for thirty minutes. It is markedly impaired when heated at 56 degrees C. for thirty minutes. It is inhibited by the unsaturated soaps and lipoids. 2. Guinea pig and rabbit serum contain relatively much protease; the leucocytes are without proteolytic ...

Abstract The replacement of fishmeal (FM) with economical and nutritious FM alternatives including plant animal-based protein ingredients has become a global research priority. However, the presence several anti-nutritional factors (ANFs) in these may impair nutrient utilization fish. supplementation exogenous protease as feed additives could be an effective approach to improve digestibility al...

Aim Massa Medicata Fementata (MMF) is a crude drug used in East Asia to treat anorexia and dyspepsia. It prepared from wheat several herbs through microbial fermentation using Aspergillus sp. Rhizopus There great difference the quality of commercial MMF, microbes MMF are suggested affect its quality. We investigated effects on MMF. Methods Raw materials were mixed according ratio listed Nationa...

Abstract This study was conducted to examine the effects of powder sodium propionate (P-SP) and SP- loaded molecular imprinted polymer (MIP) nanoparticles (MIP-SP NPs) on growth, skin mucosal immune parameters, digestive liver enzymes activities African cichlid ( Labidochromis lividus ) fingerlings. Fish with an average weight 500±2 mg were stocked into 12 experimental units fed diets prepared ...
