the effect feeding olive-pulp silage (ops) for 120 days on several blood attributes was studied using 16 rams allotted to two diets consisting of 70% corn silage or 70% ops. olive-pulp silage feeding resulted in lower serum total protein, alanine aminotransferase, calcium and phosphorus levels and higher glucose concentration compared to the corn silage diet. body weight and other blood attribu...

Due to the scope of the discipline, an annual survey of teratology must encompass a broad spectrum of findings from the bio-medical sciences. The first volume in this series does range topically in including reviews on aspects of cytogenetic, pharmacological, radiobiological, and immunological problems. If a field such as teratology is to be reviewed, one cannot expect a high degree of correspo...

Introduction Blood biochemistry profiles are often used to assess the physiologic status of lower vertebrate patients, such as fish, amphibians, reptiles, and birds. However, there is a general lack of controlled studies designed to clarify the meaning of changes in the blood chemistries of these animals compared to those of domestic mammals. Therefore, the clinical chemistry of lower vertebrat...

This study investigated the toxic effects of dried pulverized Caloncoba echinata leaves on the hematology, blood biochemistry and vital organs of male albino rats. Twenty adult male rats were randomly divided into four groups of five rats each. Groups A, B and C were fed 25.00%, 15.00% and 5.00% of pulverized C. echinata leaves in feed respectively while group D was given norm...
