Article Synopsis
- The study examined how supplementing calcium and magnesium in the diet affects female New Zealand white rabbits in terms of blood chemistry, hormones, gene expression, and sex ratio.
- The rabbits were divided into five groups, with different levels of calcium and magnesium, and the T3 group produced a higher percentage of female offspring (65.33%).
- T3 and T4 groups showed increased calcium and higher estradiol levels, while T4 had significantly elevated testosterone, indicating that these supplements might influence reproductive hormones and gene activity related to fertilization and embryonic development.
Article Synopsis
- Minerals play a crucial role in the growth, reproduction, and overall health of goats, particularly as co-factors for enzymes, with zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu) being essential in goat nutrition.
- The availability and absorption of these minerals from feed can be low due to complex feed components, necessitating external supplementation for proper animal function.
- This review focuses on using organic sources of Zn and Cu to enhance male goat fertility, particularly by improving semen quality and antioxidant protection, while highlighting the need for further research on their absorption and molecular effects.
The present study aimed to determine the differential protein profile of seminal plasma proteins of bucks supplemented with trace minerals. Forty bucks of uniform size and body weight were assigned as ten groups (n = 4). The control group (T1) was fed with the control diet (concentration mixture and roughages) whereas the remaining groups were supplemented the control diet with Zn20 mg (T2), Zn40 mg (T3), Zn60 mg (T4), Cu12.

This experiment was conducted to study the effect of mineral supplementation on seminal plasma minerals level, biochemical constituents and total antioxidant capacity of Osmanabadi bucks. The study comprised of forty healthy bucks, aged five months were randomly assigned to ten groups (n = 4 per group). The control group was fed with a basal diet without any additional mineral supplementation.

In contrast, HR-mediated DSB repair is the major double-strand break repair pathway in lower order organisms such as bacteria and yeast. Penaeus monodon, commonly known as black tiger shrimp, is one of the economically important crustaceans facing large-scale mortality due to exposure to infectious diseases.
