Seeds for Control of spp. in Lambs as an Alternative to Conventional Therapies.

To evaluate the anticoccidial effect of the Hura crepitans seed, 21 cross-breed lambs, 23 ± 3 kg live weight (PV) and 70 ± 6 days old, were used. Animals were housed individually in raised wire-mesh pens, with individual water troughs and feeders. Lambs were randomly divided into three groups (n = 7) that received different doses of Hura crepitans seeds: 4 g/kg B.

Equilibrium Studies of Iron (III) Complexes with Either Pyrazine, Quinoxaline, or Phenazine and Their Catecholase Activity in Methanol.

Currently, catalysts with oxidative activity are required to create valuable chemical, agrochemical, and pharmaceutical products. The catechol oxidase activity is a model reaction that can reveal new oxidative catalysts. The use of complexes as catalysts using iron (III) and structurally simple ligands such as pyrazine (pz), quinoxaline (qx), and phenazine (fz) has not been fully explored.

Stability of Manganese(II)-Pyrazine, -Quinoxaline or -Phenazine Complexes and Their Potential as Carbonate Sequestration Agents.

Carbonate sequestration technology is a complement of CO sequestration technology, which might assure its long-term viability. In this work, in order to explore the interactions between Mn ion with several ligands and carbonate ion, we reported a spectrophotometric equilibrium study of complexes of Mn with pyrazine, quinoxaline or phenazine and its carbonate species at 298 K. For the complexes of manganese(II)-pyrazine, manganese(II)-quinoxaline and manganese(II)-phenazine, the formation constants obtained were log β = 4.

Designing Calcium Phosphate Nanoparticles with the Co-Precipitation Technique to Improve Phosphorous Availability in Broiler Chicks.

Dicalcium phosphate (DP) is a mineral involved in the metabolism and development and is used as a dietary source of phosphorus (P) for poultry. Our study objective is to design nano-dicalcium phosphate (NDP) by co-precipitation. The methodological procedure was divided into two phases: (1) NDP synthesis, and (2) bird performance, digestibility, and Ca-P in chick's tissues.

Genetic parameters for somatic cell score, milk yield and type traits in Nigerian Dwarf goats.

Objective: This study was conducted to estimate multi-trait genetic parameters for somatic cell score (SCS), milk yield and type traits in Nigerian Dwarf (ND) goats from the United States.

Methods: Data from 1,041 ND goats in the United States with kiddings in 95 herds were used to estimate multi-trait genetic parameters for SCS, milk (MILK), fat (FAT), and protein (PROT) yields, and 14 type traits. An 18-trait mixed linear animal model for lactation mean SCS (Log2), MILK, FAT, PROT, and 14 type traits was applied.
