Article Synopsis
- The Sunda porcupine, a rodent species native to Indonesia, is used in traditional medicine for treating ailments like back pain and toothache, though scientific research on its medicinal properties is limited.
- This study aimed to identify active compounds in the ethanolic extract of Sunda porcupine quills and assess their antioxidant and antimicrobial activities, employing various assays for evaluation.
- The results revealed the extract has significant antioxidant (IC 138.93 μg/mL) and antimicrobial properties against several bacterial strains, with 24 active compounds identified, including notable antioxidants and antimicrobial agents like butylated hydroxytoluene and eicosane.
Article Synopsis
- Coccidiosis is a major problem in the poultry industry, typically managed with synthetic antibiotics and disinfectants.
- This study shows that Piper betle L essential oil (PBEO) can effectively combat Eimeria tenella, demonstrating up to 95.33% anticoccidial activity by disrupting oocyst walls and inhibiting sporulation.
- Key compounds identified in PBEO, such as eugenol, highlight its potential as a natural alternative to conventional treatments, warranting further research into its applications against coccidian parasites.
