Semen sexing is among one of the most remarkable inventions of the past few decades in the field of reproductive biotechnology. The urge to produce offspring of a desired sex has remained since traditional times. Researchers have tried many methods for accurate semen sexing, but only the flow cytometry method has proved to be effective for commercial utilization.

This practice has numerous benefits: the association among physiology and genome, the massive variety of variant proteins showed in sole collection and the elasticity of collection that can be achieved. It suggests a diversity of stages for manipulating antigen attachment; yet, variety and steadiness of exhibited library are an alarm.

Fluoride (F) occurs naturally in a soil, air and water as commonly found element in earth crusts. Almost 200 million populations worldwide and approximately 60 million in India are facing F contamination problem. Therefore, development of low-cost and highly sensitive colorimetric detector for F ions using carbon quantum dots (CQDs) and metal salts is required.

In this study, we investigated the heavy metals (Hg, Zn, Cu, Pb and Mn) contamination in different environmental samples collected from five major sites (Gaighat, Paijawa, Danapur, Ranipur and Marchi) of Patna. In all the samples concentration of manganese (Mn) was found to be higher in soil samples.

Fluoride (F) pollution is a major worldwide problem affecting approximately 200 million people. Hyperaccumulator plant Prosopis juliflora has been used for the removal of F from contaminated soils; however it's low F accumulation efficiency and low biomass limits the phytoremediation efficiency. Present study deals with enhancement of F uptake efficiency of plant P.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFFluoride (F) contaminated ground water poses a serious public health concern to rural population with unaffordable purification technologies. Therefore, development of a cost-effective, portable, environment and user-friendly defluoridation technique is imperative. In the present study, we report on the development of a green and cost-effective method that utilizes FeO and AlO nanoparticles (NPs) that were synthesized using jojoba defatted meal.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAim: The present study was undertaken to study growth pattern of accessory sex glands in prepubertal kids from 2 weeks to 6 months of age using two-dimensional ultrasonography.
Materials And Methods: The study was conducted on six Beetal kids. The scanning of accessory sex glands was done in standing position using rectal probe and measurements were recorded.
Aim: The objective of this study was to evaluate the hemodynamic characteristics of umbilical vessels in healthy pregnant Beetal goats.
Materials And Methods: Doppler examinations were performed from day 20 to 120 of gestation, twice in week from day 20 to 60 and once in week from day 60 to 120 of gestation on six goats.
Results: Free floating umbilical cord was identified on day 39 of gestation.
