The extensive use of chemical pesticides has significantly boosted agricultural food crop yields. Nevertheless, their excessive and unregulated application has resulted in food contamination and pollution in environmental, aquatic, and agricultural ecosystems. Consequently, the on-site monitoring of pesticide residues in agricultural practices is paramount to safeguard global food and conservational safety.

Nonstructural carbohydrates (NSC) are readily fermentable in the rumen and, are a critical factor while preparing protracted feed for higher animal performance. Four isocaloric and isonitrogenous complete feeds were prepared for this investigation to contain varying levels of nonstructural carbohydrates viz., 40.

Natural infections with HoBi-like pestivirus (HoBiPeV) have been detected in cattle in South America, Europe and Asia with a range of clinical manifestations including fatal mucosal disease (MD). In India, although HoBiPeV in cattle has been reported, there is no information on currently circulating HoBiPeV strains and associated severe clinical disease. Between September 2018 and December 2019, suspected cases of bovine viral diarrhoea with severe disease in cattle were noticed in farmers' small holdings in Tamil Nadu State.

Rats were pre- and co treated with 7-HC (16 mg/kg) daily for 8 days. ISO (100 mg/kg) was subcutaneously injected into rats on seventh and eighth days to induce MI.

Male albino Wistar rats were pre and co-treated with 7-hydroxycoumarin (16mg/kg body weight) daily for 8 days. Myocardial infarction was induced into rats by the subcutaneous administration of isoproterenol (100mg/kg body weight) at an interval of 24h daily for a period of two days (7th and 8th day).

Myocardial injury was induced by subcutaneous injection of isoproterenol hydrochloride (85 mg/kg BW) twice at an interval of 24 h, for two consecutive days. HDN was administered by post-orally at a dose of 200 mg/kg BW.

Anthropometric and several biochemical parameters were estimated in smoking and alcoholic-smoking auto-drivers and compared with normal auto-rickshaw drivers and normal subjects. Auto-drivers had a lower height, weight, and body mass index (BMI) compared with age-matched normal subjects. Plasma thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), total cholesterol, TC/HDL-C ratio, and lactic acid increased significantly and ascorbic acid, alpha-tocopherol, reduced glutathione (GSH), hemoglobin, and HDL-cholesterol decreased significantly in auto-drivers when compared with normal subjects.
