Improving meat qualities of pigs after deworming against ascariasis with administered glycyrrhizic acid.

The present paper describes the effect of glycyrrhizic acid contained in licorice roots on the quality of pork produced. The study uses advanced research methods as ion-exchange chromatography, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, drying of an average sample of muscle, and pressing method. The paper set out to investigate the effect of glycyrrhizic acid on the pig meat quality after deworming.

Antioxidant influence on poultry liver morphology and hepatocyte ultrastructure.

Background And Aim: The poultry farming development is held back by necessity to use the concentrates with the increased number of crude protein, mycotoxicoses, and subclinical infections concentration. They make a significant impact on the liver, therefore affecting its morphofunctional condition. Antioxidants use can prevent the negative influence of these factors.

Clinical and structural changes in reproductive organs and endocrine glands of sterile cows.

Aim: The study aimed to determine both macroscopic and microscopic changes in the reproductive organs of sterile cows.

Materials And Methods: Careful clinical and gynecological examinations (using histological and histochemical methods) of organs of culled sterile cows, such as ovaries, oviducts, the uterus, pars anterior adenohypophysis, thyroid body, and adrenals, were performed.

Results: It was found that 20% of the examined cows in the farms of the Republic of Bashkortostan had pathology of reproductive organs.

[Synthesis and anti-inflammatory activity of quinopimaric acid derivatives].

Under the action of PCl(5), the Beckman rearrangement of a 3 : 1 mixture of Z- and E-ketoximes of 18beta-hydroxydihydroquinopimaric acid resulted in 5'-caprolactam and isomeric caprolactams containing fragments of cyclic ether. Z- and E-ketoximes were separated as acetates. Using a carrageenan inflammation model, we demonstrated that the anti-inflammatory activity of quinopimaric acid derivatives was comparable with that of diclofenac.
