Efficacy Of Acacia Nilotica Bark Extract As An Alternative To Antibiotics In Broilers Challenged With Escherishia Coli From 15 To 28 Days, Muhammad Umer Zahid, Anjum Khalique, Shafqat Nawaz Qaisrani, Muhammad Ashraf, Ali Ahmad Sheikh, Muhammad Umar Yaqoob
Efficacy Of Acacia Nilotica Bark Extract As An Alternative To Antibiotics In Broilers Challenged With Escherishia Coli From 15 To 28 Days, Muhammad Umer Zahid, Anjum Khalique, Shafqat Nawaz Qaisrani, Muhammad Ashraf, Ali Ahmad Sheikh, Muhammad Umar Yaqoob
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
The present experiment was conducted to compare the effect of Acacia nilotica bark extract and antibiotic on different biological parameters in broilers challenged with E. coli. Five hundred 2-week-old broiler chicks were divided into five treatments (Cont, NC, PC, AN-BE3, and AN-BE5) with ten replicates per treatment (10 chicks per replicate), and the experiment was extended over 2 weeks. All chicks, except that of Cont were challenged with E. coli (10$^{7}$ CFU/bird). Cont: basal diet only; NC: challenged with E. coli; PC: NC + Zinc Bacitracin 50 mg/kg diet; AN-BE3: NC + A. nilotica bark extract supplementation 0.3%; …

Consumption of fermented milk products especially kefir is accelerated in the population due to their high nutritional value and other health benefits. These health benefits are rooted in the composition of source material and flora of kefir grains. Therefore, the utilization of different kinds of milk as source material in kefir production directly affects the properties of kefir. In this study, changes in the physicochemical properties, microbiological profiles, antibacterial effects, antioxidant activities, sensory evaluation, and total phenolic and total flavonoid contents of kefirs obtained from donkey milk (DM) and cow milk (CM) were compared. It was found that donkey milk …

Bee products with high bioactive properties have a very important place in human nutrition. Biochemical properties of these products such as honey, pollen, and propolis vary according to flora, season, bee race, and production methods. In this study, the biological activities of honey, bee pollen, and propolis samples from four bee races in Turkey (Apis mellifera caucasica, Apis mellifera anatoliaca, Apis mellifera syriaca, and Apis mellifera carnica) were examined. Besides the determining of total polyphenol and total flavonoid contents, the antioxidant capacity was investigated by three different assays: DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical-scavenging activities, CUPRAC (cupric reducing antioxidant capacity) and FRAP (ferric …

Medicinal plants, especially rich in polyphenolic compounds, have been suggested to be chemopreventive on account of antioxidative properties. Salvia officinalis L., an aromatic and medicinal plant, is widely used in folk medicine and is well known for its antioxidant properties. Therefore, the present study was designed to investigate the antioxidative, possible genotoxic, and antigenotoxic potency of S. officinalis extract against cyclophosphamide (CYP)-induced oxidative stress and genotoxicity in Wistar albino rats. Animals were orally dosed with S. officinalis extract (50, 100, and 150 mg/kg body weight) for 7 days before the administration of a single intraperitoneal dose of CYP (40 mg/kg …
All-Trans Retinoic Acid Regulates Intracellular Redox Status In Marc-145 Cells Infected With Porcine Reproductive And Respiratory Syndrome Virus, Yan Lin, De Wu
All-Trans Retinoic Acid Regulates Intracellular Redox Status In Marc-145 Cells Infected With Porcine Reproductive And Respiratory Syndrome Virus, Yan Lin, De Wu
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
A relationship between oxidative stress, and apoptosis and/or death has been suggested for many years. The objective of this study was to determine the influence of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) on the cell survival rate and the antioxidant defense system. MARC-145 cells were treated with ATRA after infection with porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV). The cell survival rate, total antioxidant capability (T-AOC), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-P_X) activity, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity, and glutathione (GSH) content were determined in samples collected from cells incubated with ATRA for 24 or 48 h. The results show that PRRSV …
