Background: The milk's nutritional value is determined by its constituents, including fat, protein, carbohydrates, and minerals. The mammary gland's ability to produce milk is controlled by a complex network of genes. Thereby, the fat, protein, and lactose synthesis must be boost in milk to increase milk production efficiency.

Aim: Evaluation of the laboratory antimicrobial actions and chelating activities, and the field influence of on performance, biochemical and immunoglobulin concentrations, and intestinal microbiota in overwhelmed broiler chickens.
Methods: We assessed the laboratory antimicrobial actions of 1% suspension against bacterial ( O157: H7 and Typhimurium) and fungal ( and ) microorganisms using a 96-well minimal inhibitory concentration, and the chelating activities of against calcium sulfate and copper sulfate.
Introduction: Multi-Drug Resistance (MDR) is common in hospitalized geriatric patients. The study aims to investigate the pattern of antibiotic use and determine its association with MDR in hospitalized geriatric patients.
Methodology: A retrospective cohort study including 193 geriatric patients admitted to a Geriatric Intensive Care Unit (GICU) in a tertiary care Geriatrics hospital in Egypt, throughout a consecutive 6 months duration.
Background: Water pollution has become a major threat to the environment and the living so an eco-friendly bio-filter was chosen for its merits over conventional techniques.
Aim: Investigating the purifying activities of the Tilapia bone powder against inorganics, heavy metals, and microbial water pollutants and its impacts on performance, biochemical and antioxidant levels, cortisol and immunoglobulin concentrations, and intestinal microbiota in challenged broiler chickens.
Methods: The activity of Tilapia bone powder was evaluated against magnesium chloride and lead nitrate using tube minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC), as well as against O1527:H7, , , , , and using a 96-micro-well MIC.
Psoriasis is a chronic debilitating skin disease with an estimated prevalence reaching 2% of the worldwide population. Psoriatic disease is driven by the interactions among innate and adaptive immune systems with structural components of the skin. Interleukin (IL)-22 mediates keratinocyte proliferation and epidermal hyperplasia, and changes in the structure of skin flora can play a role in the secretion of IL-22.

Clay plays a key role in environmental protection from pollutants through ion exchange and/or adsorption.
Aim: The study evaluated the adsorption and antimicrobial efficiency of clay in purifying polluted water, as well as the influence of clay-purified water on performance, immunity, and microbial counts.
For the first time, an updated checklist of , and species in Egypt is provided, focusing on the exotic species. Taking into consideration the retypification of genus ratified at the Melbourne International Botanical Congress (IBC, 2011), a process of reclassification has taken place worldwide in recent years. The review of and its segregates in Egypt became necessary in light of the available information cited in classical works during the last century.

This study tests the influence of magnetic water on the viability of the Newcastle vaccine and the survival of and Typhimurium, as well as the influence of magnetic water in face of water impurities' challenges on performance, immunity, and tissue architecture in broiler chickens.
Materials And Methods: An 96-micro-well plate minimal inhibitory concentration was utilized to test the influence of water, saline, and magnetic water on Newcastle vaccine viability and O157:H7 and .
Background And Aim: Manipulating lighting colors and regimens is considered an effective mean for improving broiler productivity. The influence of red, blue, and white light-emitting diode (LED) was investigated using three different regimens of lighting and darkness; continuous 23 h light (L):1 h dark (D), continuous 18 h L:6 h D, and intermittent 16 h L:8 h D hours on the performance, carcass weight (CW), feed and water intake (WI), serum glucose (GLUCO), triglycerides (TG), and cholesterol (TC), intestinal bacterial load, growth and metabolic hormones, and efficiency of Newcastle disease (ND) vaccine.
Materials And Methods: A total of 252 1-day-old Ross broilers on deep litter were divided into nine groups.
The current study aimed to explore the impact of different light intensities on behavior, welfare, performance, meat quality, amino acid content, and egg quality of Japanese quails. A total of 600 1-day-old Japanese quail chicks were used (300/batch). Chicks were homogeneously classified into 3 groups (each of 100); low (10 lux), moderate (50 lux).
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground And Aim: Birds litter contains unutilized nitrogen in the form of uric acid that is converted into ammonia; a fact that does not only affect poultry performance but also has a negative effect on people's health around the farm and contributes in the environmental degradation. The influence of microclimatic ammonia emissions on Ross and Hubbard broilers reared in different housing systems at two consecutive seasons (fall and winter) was evaluated using a discriminant function analysis to differentiate between Ross and Hubbard breeds.
Materials And Methods: A total number of 400 air samples were collected and analyzed for ammonia levels during the experimental period.
Trichoepithelioma (TE) is a benign tumor of follicular origin that presents as small, skin-colored papules predominantly on the face. When more than one family member is affected, the disease is known as multiple familial trichoepithelioma (MFT). It is a rare autosomal dominant (AD) skin disease.
