Camel milk or silymarin could improve the negative effects that experimentally produced by aflatoxin B1 on rat's male reproductive system.

Background: Camel milk and silymarin have many different beneficial effects on several animal species. Meanwhile, Aflatoxins are mycotoxins with extraordinary potency that pose major health risks to several animal species. Additionally, it has been documented that aflatoxins harm the reproductive systems of a variety of domestic animals.

Could Nanotheranostics be the Answer to the Coronavirus Crisis?

The COVID-19 pandemic is expanding worldwide. This pandemic associated with COVID-19 placed the spotlight on how bacterial (e.g.

Experimental ochratoxicosis A in Nile tilapia and its amelioration by some feed additives.

Ochratoxin A (OTA) formation prevention is not usually available so counteracting strategies are urgent. This study investigated the toxic effects of OTA on Nile tilapia with trials to neutralize these effects by using some feed additives. Supplements used as one percent (Garlen Extra4, , Garlen Extra4 plus and a commercial mycotoxins binder, Fero Bind Pro) were added to 500 ppb/kg OTA-contaminated diet.

Effect of phytase enzyme on growth performance, serum biochemical alteration, immune response and gene expression in Nile tilapia.

The present study aimed to investigate the effect of low phosphorus diet with or without different levels of phytase enzyme supplementation on growth performance, body composition, nutrient retention efficiency, gene expression, and health status of A. hydrophila challenged fish. A total of 240 monosex males of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) with an average body weight of 23.

Some studies on gastrointestinal parasites infecting deer (Dorcas gazelles) in Matrouh Governorate.

Faecal samples were collected directly after defecation from living Egyptian deer, Dorcas gazelles. 28 out of 63 (44.44 %) faecal samples harboured gastrointestinal nematode eggs.

Interaction of aflatoxin in the feed and immunization against selected infectious diseases. I. Infectious bursal disease.

A study was conducted on the impact of aflatoxin in the feed on immunization against infectious bursal disease (IBD) in chickens using an attenuated live vaccine. Three-hundred-and-ninety broiler chicks were used. The aflatoxin feeding of 100 and 200 parts/10(9) of AFBI started when chicks were 10 days old and continued for 8 weeks.

Toxic effect of dieldrin on gonadotrophin levels (FSH and LH) in serum of mature female albino rats.

Occurrence of hormonal disorders in 32 mature female albino rats fed on a 2 ppm of dieldrin for 3 weeks prompted a study into the effect of the insecticide on hormonal and histopathological changes in rat. FSH levels were significantly decreased in the 1st and 2nd weeks of the experiment, before they returned nearly to normal in the 3rd week. But LH levels, however, were significantly decreased only in the 1st week and slightly increased in the 2nd and 3rd weeks.
