Weaning is the most crucial period associated with increased stress and susceptibility to diseases in rabbits. Methicillin-resistant (MRSA), a historic emergent pathogen related to post weaning stressors, adversely affects rabbit's growth rate and productive cycle. Since MRSA is rapidly evolving antibiotics resistance, natural products are desperately required to tackle the public health threats posed by antimicrobial resistance.

Article Synopsis
  • Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing bacteria are a global public health concern found in humans, animals, and poultry, often leading to multidrug resistance.
  • A study in northern Egypt collected and analyzed samples from human, cattle, and poultry sources to assess the prevalence of ESBLs and identify their genetic relatedness.
  • Results showed a prevalence of 30% in humans, 20% in cattle, and 25% in poultry, with a dominant ESBL genotype linked to multi-drug resistance, emphasizing the need for better antimicrobial control measures.

We report the impact of drought stress on pearl millet during the early seedling stage and its survival mechanism. Drought stress imposed for a period of 7, 14 and 21 days showed considerable changes in morphophysiological attributes, which were evident by a decline in seedling elongation, fresh and dry biomass, and relative water content (RWC) and degradation of chlorophyll pigment. Besides this, visible chlorosis lesions were observed in leaves as compared to the control.

This investigation was aimed to inspect if there is an influence of various stocking density on growth, carcass parameters, blood indices, and meat traits of Muscovy and Mallard ducks. One hundred twenty-six 1-day-old of each Muscovy and Mallard ducks were randomly allocated into three experimental groups with different stocking density. Group one (SD) was 5 ducks/m, while group 2 (SD) was 7 ducks/m and group 3 (SD) was 9 ducks/m.
