Background: Probiotics and essential oils feed supplements are widely used in the aquaculture sector. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary supplementation with probiotics, essential oils and their combination on growth performance, serum biochemical parameters, antioxidant capacity, resistance against Aeromonas veronii, and intestinal histomorphology of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). A total of 360 O.

- Anticoccidial drugs have been traditionally used to treat avian coccidiosis, but issues like resistance and health concerns have prompted the exploration of alternative treatments in broiler chickens.
- A study with 150 1-day-old male Cobb broiler chicks tested various treatments, finding that a 0.2% dose of a specific treatment significantly reduced symptoms of coccidiosis and improved meat quality without altering breast meat color.
- Additionally, the treatment boosted certain serum cholesterol levels while lowering others, and reduced harmful effects on the intestinal epithelium, indicating its potential as a safe dietary option for broilers.
Background: On the staggering emergence of the Omicron variant, numerous questions arose about the evolution of virulence and transmissibility in microbes.
Main Body Of The Abstract: The trade-off hypothesis has long speculated the exchange of virulence for the sake of superior transmissibility in a wide array of pathogens. While this certainly applies to the case of the Omicron variant, along with influenza virus, various reports have been allocated for an array of pathogens such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), malaria, hepatitis B virus (HBV) and tuberculosis (TB).
