Influence of Molybdenum and Organic Sources of Copper and Sulfur on the Performance, Carcass Traits, Blood Mineral Concentration, and Ceruloplasmin Activity in Lambs.

Article Synopsis
- - This study examined the impact of molybdenum (Mo), copper (Cu), and sulfur (S) from different sources on lamb performance, carcass characteristics, and blood mineral levels over 84 days.
- - Forty male lambs were divided into ten treatment groups, with variations in the combinations of Mo, Cu, and S sources, and all groups received a controlled diet with added minerals.
- - Results showed that while organic Cu and S boosted average daily gain, they did not lead to heavier body weights at the end of the study, and different treatments affected serum mineral concentrations differently.
Since the discovery of penicillin, the development and use of antibiotics have promoted safe and effective control of bacterial infections. However, the number of antibiotic-resistance cases has been ever increasing over time. Thus, the drug discovery process demands fast, efficient and cost-effective alternative approaches for developing lead candidates with outstanding performance.

This study evaluated the ecotoxicity of five dyes to freshwater organisms before and during their photo-Fenton degradation. EC50 (48h) of the five tested dyes ranged from of 6.9 to >1000mgL(-1) for Daphnia similis.
