...tive effect on bacterial enumeration of Ileum (P<0.05). The use of antibiotic caused a reduction in all three forms of microbial population. On the other hand, herbs added as feed additive acted as prebiotic and enhanced the lactic acid bacteria. In conclusion, supplementation of herbs as feed additive improved growth parameters and present results suggests herbs could be used as alternative to antibiotics growth promoting feed additives.

...amples were analyzed for enumeration of CD4+ cells and presence of HBV. The selected three HBV serological markers were HBsAg, HBeAg and HBcAb while using a third generation ELISA kit for screening. The mean CD4+ count and age were 479.12 ± 23.48 cells/µl and 48.56 ± 1.27 years, respectively. Only six samples out of ninety-three HIV-positive samples were positive to HBsAg while fifty-four samples (58.1%) were positive for HBcAb however, HBe...

...to-morphology, bacterial enumeration and cecal volatile fatty acids (VFAs) were measured. There were significant improvements in weight gain (WG), feed conversion ratio (FCR) and average daily gain (ADG) in the treatment groups supplemented with extract (P<0.05) compared to control. Similarly, intestinal histo-morphic parameters and ileal bacterial count were significantly different between treatments (P<0.05), but no significant effect (P>0.05) was f...

...8 °C for 12 weeks by enumeration of aerobic plate count (APC), psychrotrophic, Enterobacteriaceae, and lactic acid bacterial (LAB) counts. The results revealed that the sole effect of T, CL, and O oleoresins caused non-significant reductions in all investigated bacterial counts. Among the treated groups (T, CL, or O alone), it was found that O oleoresin achieved the highest reduction rate, followed by CL while the least reduction rate was recorded in sampl...

...in the month of May. The enumeration of fecundity was based upon ten mature fish ranging from 15.5 to 30.0 cm in length and from 18.18 to 148.0g in weight. High potential of eggs production i.e. (1020 eggs) was recorded for fish with 30.0cm length and 148.0 g weight. The low fecundity (300 eggs) was recorded for fish with15.5cm in length and 18.8g weight. Production potential (fecundity) and its association with other factors like total length of fish, weight ...

...rker medium was used for enumeration and isolation of strains, free coagulase and thermonuclease tests were performed as well as other biochemical tests. Antibiotic susceptibility testing was performed to evaluate the resistance of S. aureus to antibiotics. Finally, statistical processing was performed using the STATISTICA 7 software (Statsoft, France). The percentage of samples contaminated with S. aureus was 32.22%, and the average load of S. aureus contamin...

Results showed that PPLP improved (P < 0.05) production performance, final body weight, carcass weight and relative weight of lymphoid organs. Anti-NDV titer was improved on both 21 (P > 0.05) and 35 (P < 0.05) day in PPLP supplemented groups as compared to control. Total bacterial count and Lactobacillus count was increased (P < 0.05), while coliform count was decreased (P < 0.05) on day 2...
