Comparative effects of dietary zinc nanoparticle and conventional zinc supplementation on broiler chickens: A meta-analysis.

Background And Aim: Zinc (Zn) is important for various physiological processes in broiler chickens, including protein and carbohydrate metabolism, growth, and reproduction. The gastrointestinal absorption of Zn in broiler chickens was notably low. One approach that has been explored for enhancing the bioavailability of Zn is the development of Zn nanoparticles (NPs).

Enhancing the nutritional quality and digestibility of citronella waste () for ruminant feed through ammoniation and fermentation techniques.

Background And Aim: Citronella grass () waste, produced by distilling citronella to produce essential oil, has a high potential for use as animal feed. However, the presence of high lignin content could limit its digestibility, prompting the need for treatment to improve its quality. This study aimed to improve the nutritional value and digestibility of ammoniated and fermented citronella waste (CW).

A cyst-forming coccidian with large geographical range infecting forest and commensal rodents: Sarcocystis muricoelognathis sp. nov.

Background: The geographic distribution and host-parasite interaction networks of Sarcocystis spp. in small mammals in eastern Asia remain incompletely known.

Methods: Experimental infections, morphological and molecular characterizations were used for discrimination of a new Sarcocystis species isolated from colubrid snakes and small mammals collected in Thailand, Borneo and China.

Morphological and molecular phylogenetic characterization of sp. nov. and other novel, closely related spp. infecting small mammals and colubrid snakes in Asia.

We investigated the morphology and phylogenetic relationships of novel and previously recognized spp. infecting small mammals and colubrid snakes in Asia. The nuclear and mitochondrial of sp.

Factors Correlated with Child Undernutrition in Rural Communities Affected by Sinabung Eruptions in Indonesia.

This study examined factors correlated with child undernutrition in rural communities affected by the Sinabung Eruptions in Indonesia. A cross-sectional survey of children ( = 444) was conducted. The results showed that the prevalence of being underweight, stunting, and wasting was 23.

Effectiveness of Various Types of Bio-Activators to Quality of Compost Fertilizer.

<b>Background and Objective:</b> Plant litter or plants that grow naturally and the plant materials of the cultivated plants are quite abundant both in fresh and dry form. In the case of a plant, litter is not processed and left on the surface of the soil as organic material then the process of decomposition and reshuffle requires a long time. The research aimed to find out the effectiveness of bio-activators on the formation and quality of compost fertilizer.

Validation of the Developed Zero-Order Infrared Spectrophotometry Method for Qualitative and Quantitative Analyses of Tranexamic Acid in Marketed Tablets.

(1) Background: The functional groups present in tranexamic acid allow direct infrared detection analysis. This study aimed to develop, apply, and validate an infrared spectrophotometry method used for qualitative and quantitative analyses of tranexamic acid in marketed tablets. (2) Methods: This was a descriptive observational study that consisted of several stages: determining the specific wavenumber for analysis, obtaining a simple linear regression equation, analyzing tranexamic acid both qualitatively and quantitatively, and validating the developed method for routine analysis.

Food Access, Food Consumption, and Children's Nutritional Status of Smallholder Farmer in Sinabung's Eruptions-Prone Areas, Indonesia.

Destructive impacts resulting from volcanic eruptions affect food production severely, leading to the deterioration of food access and food consumption. Thus, we spotted the urgency of researching food access, household food consumption, and nutritional status of children in Sinabung's eruptions-prone areas, Indonesia. A cross-sectional study was carried out among 368 (158 farmers only and 228 farmers plus farm laborers) households headed by farmers.

Post-Dissociative Trance Disorder: Traditional Culture of Nini Pagar from Tigabinanga.

Background: Dissociative Trance Disorder is uncommon, particularly in the eastern part of the world. Complexity and uniqueness of the symptoms, triggers, as well as the management strategy of this disease, make it an exceptional burden for the family.

Case Report: We reported a 17-year-old woman of a Karo descent who was admitted to Tiga Binanga Primary Health Center by her family due to frequent depressive mood, secluding herself, loss of interest, and frequent fatigue.

Body Weight Gain, Nutrients Degradability and Fermentation Rumen Characteristics of Boerka Goat Supplemented Green Concentrate Pellets (GCP) Based on .

Background And Objective: Indigofera zollingeriana leguminous have been known widely to have a concentrate feed characteristic due to its high nutrient contents (crude protein, vitamin and some mineral) and its highly dry matter (DM) digestibility. This study aimed to identify the effects body weight gain, nutrients degradability, fermentation rumen characteristics and blood metabolite of Boerka goat supplemented green concentrate pellets (GCP)based on Indigofera zollingeriana.

Materials And Methods: Twenty four male Boer x Kacang crossbreeds with age of approximately male phase to 6 months and average initial body weight (BW) 13±0.

Examination of Sarcocystis spp. of giant snakes from Australia and Southeast Asia confirms presence of a known pathogen - Sarcocystis nesbitti.

We examined Sarcocystis spp. in giant snakes from the Indo-Australian Archipelago and Australia using a combination of morphological (size of sporocyst) and molecular analyses. We amplified by PCR nuclear 18S rDNA from single sporocysts in order to detect mixed infections and unequivocally assign the retrieved sequences to the corresponding parasite stage.

Effects of energy supplementation on lamb production of Javanese thin-tail ewes.

A 3-yr study was conducted in North Sumatra, Indonesia, as part of an evaluation of the feasibility of integrating sheep and rubber production. The objective was to evaluate the effects of increasing energy supplementation on reproduction and other performance criteria of Javanese Thin-Tail sheep grazing volunteer forages under 8- and 14-yr-old rubber trees. The control group was unsupplemented.
