Several modalities of drug administration have been investigated to improve bioavailability and to reduce 5-FU related toxicity. The aim of present study was to evaluate the effect of skimmed milk on the absorption and metabolism of 5-FU in rabbits, mice and dogs. It was further aimed to determine its route related toxicity in rabbits.    Plasma concentration of both 5-FU and its metabolit...

BACKGROUND Deficiency of macro and micro-minerals in the ration of dairy cows adversely affects growth, milk production and reproduction efficiency. It is essential to examine mineral concentrations in feeds offered to dairy cows in practical farms. METHODS Two villages from each taluka were selected at random for taking representative samples of feeds, forages and hair. Within the village, h...

To determine the effect of Dietary Crude Protein (DCP) on milk production and protein metabolism, a two group pre/post experimental design was used. The CP level in the ration fed to the two groups (high, low) of lactating dairy cows was increased by 2% for a period of 21 days. Data from each group was collected regarding manure scores, milk fat, milk protein, Milk Urea Nitrogen (MUN) and overa...

Whey is a co-product of processes for the production of cheese and casein that retains most of the lactose content in milk. World production of whey is estimated around 200 million tons per year with an increase rate of about 2%/per year. Milk production is seasonal, so surplus whey is unavoidable. Traditionally, whey producers have considered it as a nuisance and strategies of whey handling ha...

Nowadays, water and electricity are closely interdependent essential sources in human life that affect socio-economic growth and prosperity. In other words, electricity is a fundamental source to supply a seawater desalination process, while fresh water is used for cooling this power plant. Therefore, mutual vulnerability of water treatment and power generation systems is growing because of inc...
