ABSTRACT Multifunctional microorganisms can contribute significantly to improve plant performance and are innovative technology for sustainable development. Thus, objective of this study was to determine the effect of bioagents applied alone or in mix on the performance of upland rice. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse in a completely ra...

The action of glucocorticoids on target tissues is regulated by the glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid receptors (codified by the NR3C1 and NR3C2 gene, respectively). Moreover, the prereceptor system, represented by the hydroxysteroid 11-beta dehydrogenases (HSD11Bs), catalyzes the interconversion from active glucocorticoids into inactive compoun...

This study was conducted to assess the effects of early dietary supplementation with probiotic, yoghurt, and sodium butyrate (SB) on the growth performance, intestinal microbiota, blood hematology, and immune response of broiler chickens. A total of 180 1-day-old SASSO broiler chicks, housed in 12 equal floor pen replicates each of 15 chicks, were ...

Antibiotics are frequently used in food animal production in developing countries to promote the well-being and growth of animals. This practice provides some economic benefits to producers and consumers at large. Nevertheless, this practice is also associated with a number of concerns. A major concern has been that repeatedly exposing these animal...

An electroanalytical method for determining dienestrol (DNL) in bovine urine samples is described. A glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with silver nanoparticles and functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes was used as working sensor. The modified GCE displays substantial analytical improvements including an amplified signal, fast electron ...

A new, relatively simple sample processing and detection workflow has been developed for the quantification and confirmation of banned growth-promoting substances in a wide variety of animal-based food products. The method covers all required compounds (belonging to the so-called A1, A3, A4 and B2f groups as termed by the relevant EU legislation) w...

In this review, we have discussed the recent potential effects of plants and their derivatives in treating diseases of veterinary importance in livestock. The therapeutic value of these natural products depends upon their bioactive metabolites that are developed and isolated from crude plants, thus produced a selective action on the body. The crise...
ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the phytomorphological parameters of soybean in a crop-livestock system inoculated with Azospirillum brasilense. The experiment was conducted in Santa Maria, Brazil, for two agricultural years (2 Paper extracted from the doctoral thesis of the first author. 012/2013 and 2013/2014) in a randomized...

A new method for detecting low levels of growth promoters in bovine meat was developed with the following goal: easy, fast and sensitive analysis of a wide range of compounds, with reduced consumption of chemicals and disposables. Several classes of growth promoters were included, i.e. resorcylic acid lactones (RALs) and steroids, the latter includ...
