Pig, cow, and sheep manure (PM, CM, and SM) are inevitable byproducts of agricultural economic development. Converting them into high add-on value biochar (PMB, CMB, and SMB) via pyrolysis is an efficient resource utilization measure. Phosphorus (P) speciation analyses help ensure the practical...

Despite the phenolic acids' health benefits, their interactions with proteins are still unclear. In this study, the interactions of Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) with chlorogenic acid (CHA), caffeic acid (CA), and their Al³⁺, Cu²⁺ complexes were studied by using circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy,...

To get rid of the chrome pollution faced by the leather industry, we explored a novel engineering high-quality eco-leather technology based on the synergistic interactions between biomass-based aldehydes and Al(III). Firstly, dialdehyde xanthan gum (DXG) was prepared to covalently crosslink with...

Owing to the questionable self-sustainability of the small and marginal dairy farms, small scale entrepreneurs are shifting towards commercial dairy farming. Commercial dairy farming involves handling a large amount of feed and fodder. The traditional ways of handling feed and fodder are labour...

Researchers have determined that bioavailable aluminum chloride (AlCl3) may affect honey bee behavior (e.g., foraging patterns and locomotion) and physiology (e.g., abdominal spasms). The purpose of these experiments was to determine if Fiji water reduces the impacts of AlCl3 toxicity in bees by...

The report describes the successful management of extensor tendon injury in a 2.5 year old, 480 kgs buffalo bull. A village common bull was presented in emergency hours with a 3 side extensive cut wound proximal to fetlock region (involving extensor tendons) with a wire-fence while fighting with...

Propolis tinctures are popular alternative medicines, but mandatory labeling requirements relating to the inorganic content or percentage of ethanol are absent. Knowing the elemental content is useful for quality assurance/quality control of the tinctures between batches, as well as the safety of...

This research aimed to see how effectively chromium nanoparticles (Cr-NPs) improve minerals absorption and carcass composition in Catlacatla fingerlings given sunflower meal based diets. In a 90-day experimental design, seven test diets were supplemented with graded levels of nano-Cr (0, 0.5, 1,...

Aluminum is widely used in daily life due to its excellent properties. However, aluminum exposure to the environment severely threatens animal and human health. Conversely, selenium (Se) contributes to maintaining the balance of the immune system. Neutrophils exert immune actions in several ways,...

Duckweed is a plant with high phytoremediation abilities, which is why it is used in the process of cleaning the aquatic environment. The present study aimed to determine the effect of various concentrations of pig slurry added to the growth media used to produce duckweed (Lemna minor) (laboratory...
