THE EFFECT OF ADHATODA VASICA AS A HERBAL SUPPLEMENT ON THE PERFORMANCE, NUTRIENT DIGESTIBILITY, AND BLOOD PROFILE OF WEANED PIGS
type: item
description: A 60-day trial was conducted to gain insight into how Adhatoda vasica as a herbal supplement affected the performance, nutrient digestibility, and blood profile of weaned pigs. 40 crossbred male pigs (Yorkshire × Landrace) with an initial body weight of 10.21 ± 0.03 kg were grouped into four treatment groups of ten pigs each. Upon arrival, the animals were quarantined for two weeks and fed a basal diet that is balanced in all nutrients, according to NRC (2012). Pigs in treatment 1 were fed a basal diet without Adhatoda vasica leaf powder, whereas those in treatments 2, 3, and 4 were provided the same food supplemented with Adhatoda vasica leaf powder at doses of 200 g, 400 g, and 600 g/kg. A completely randomised design approach was used, and the animals had unlimited access to clean, fresh water and food. The concentration of phyto-constituents in Adhatoda vasica leaf powder was found to be greater in flavonoids (102.1 mg/g) and lowest in steroids (30.41 mg/g). The average daily weight gain was higher for pigs fed treatments 3 and 4, intermediate for treatment 2, and lowest for treatment 1. The method of treatment significantly altered average daily feed intake, feed conversion ratio, and mortality (P<0.05). The treatment had a significant effect (P<0.05) on digestibility of dry matter, ether extract, crude protein, and crude fibre. There were significant differences (P<0.05) in red blood cell, pack cell volume, mean platelet volume, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular haemoglobin, white blood cell, and total protein levels among treatments, with the exception of aspartate amino transferase, alanine amino transferase, and alkaline phosphatase (P>0.05). However, all levels fell within the recommended range for healthy pigs. Finally, Adhatoda vasica leaf powder can be added to pigs' diets without affecting their growth or health.

EFFECT OF DIETARY SUPPLEMENTATION OF MONOTHECA BUXIFOLIA LEAF POWDER ON THE GROWTH PERFORMANCE OF BROILER CHICKENS
type: item
description: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of dietary supplementation of Monotheca buxifolia leaf powder on the growth performance of broiler chickens. A total of 250 -1-day old broiler chicks (Ross 308) were randomly distributed into five treatments with five replicates and each replicate consists of ten birds. Prior to the arrival of birds, basal diet adequate in all nutrients was formulated according to the requirement of birds by Nutritional Research Council in 1994. Birds in treatment one was fed basal diet without Monotheca buxifolia leaf powder, those in treatment two, three, four and five were fed same diet with Monotheca buxifolia leaf powder at 100 g, 200 g, 300 g and 400 g respectively. The experiment lasted for 42 days and birds had unrestricted access to clean water and feed. A completely randomized experimental design was adopted and all management practices was strictly adhered to. Result on the phytochemical content of Monotheca buxifolia leaf powder flavonoids (863.2 mg/g), phenols (511.8 mg/g) and terpenoids (102.3 mg/g) were the most prominent compounds followed by saponins (72.56 mg/g), tannins (62.34 mg/g), alkaloids (41.88 mg/g) and steroids (30.41 mg/g). Average daily weight gain and average daily feed intake values which varied from 41.24 – 51.37 g/b and 103.7 – 107.5 g/b were higher among birds fed Monotheca buxifolia leaf powder (treatment two, three, four and five) relative to treatment one (P<0.05). Similarly, feed conversion ratio whose value ranged from 2.09 – 2.50 were significantly (P<0.05) influenced by the treatment. In conclusion, feeding broilers Monotheca buxifolia leaf powder up to 400 g/kg diet does not pose any detrimental effect on the performance of birds.

GROWTH PERFORMANCE AND EGG QUALITY OF LAYING HENS FED WITH DIET SUPPLEMENTED WITH DATE PALM SEED POWDER
type: item
description: An experiment lasting 12 weeks was conducted to assess the growth performance and egg quality of laying hens fed a diet supplemented with date palm seed powder. 250-30 week old Lohman brown layers weighing 1550.2 ± 0.62 grammes were acquired from a Gujarat breeding farm and randomly assigned to five treatments with five replicates (10 birds per replicate). The investigation lasted 84 days and used a completely randomised design. The diet was a basal diet (corn-soya meal based), which is compatible with the Nutritional Research Council's advice from 1994. Hens in treatment 1 were fed a basal diet without date palm seed powder, whereas those in treatments 2, 3, 4, and 5 were administered a basal diet with date palm seed powder at 20 g, 40 g, 60 g, and 80 g per kg, respectively. Birds have limitless access to fresh, clean water and food. The phyto-constituents discovered in date palm seed powder were phenols (891.44 mg/g), flavonoids (572.09 mg/g), tannins (65.56 mg/g), alkaloids (165.2 mg/g), terpenoids (332.8 mg/g), saponins (90.51 mg/g), and steroids (78.66 mg/g). Date palm powder treatment resulted in increased average daily weight gain, feed intake, hen day house production, and hen housed egg production (p < 0.05) compared to the control group. Supplementing with date palm seed powder decreased the feed conversion ratio from 4.69 to 5.05 (p < 0.05). The treatment had a substantial impact on egg weight (47.12 to 57.03 g), breadth and length (35.04 - 43.87 mm; 38.81 - 47.23 mm), shell thickness (0.19 - 0.35 mm), yolk colour (3.13 - 11.23), and haugh unit. It was determined that date seed powder can be supplemented at a rate of up to 80 g/kg diet to increase performance and yolk quality metrics when compared to hens fed a control diet, with no adverse impacts on their health state.

OPTIMIZATION OF BIODIESEL PRODUCED FROM CHICKEN FATS USING RESPONSE SURFACE METHODOLOGY
type: item
description: Heterogeneous transesterification of chicken fat oil (CFO) to biodiesel over Zn/MgO catalyst and the optimization of the process have been investigated, response surface methodology (RSM) was employed to study the relationships of methanol to oil ratio, catalyst loading, and reaction time on methyl ester yield. The experiments were designed using Central Composite by applying 24 full factorial designs with two central points. Transesterification of CFO produced 92% maximum methyl ester yield at the optimum methanol to oil ratio = 12:1, catalyst loading = 4% w/w and reaction time = 90mins. The chicken fat methyl ester (CFME) properties like specific gravity, kinematic viscosity, flash point, fire point, cloud point, cetane number, sulphur content, and diesel index were determined and found to be 0.8528kg/l, 5.139cSt, 267k, 265k, 428k, 42 , 0.032%wt, and 45. However, interaction between methanol oil ratio and catalyst gave the largest effect on the chicken fat oil methy ester yield. The result indicated that RSM can be used to find the relationships among process variable response in efficient manner using minimum number of experiment.

EVALUATION OF SOME HEMATOLOGICAL PARAMETERS AND BILIRUBIN IN MALARIA-INFECTED ADULTS ATTENDING FEDERAL UNIVERSITY TEACHING HOSPITAL, OWERRI, NIGERIA
type: item
description: Background: Malaria is a disease caused by a parasite called Plasmodium, which is transmitted by the bite of infected female anopheles mosquito. Plasmodium is a hemiparasite that affects red blood cells leading to their destruction (Hemolysis). In malaria disease, there is an increased bilirubin levels due to hemoglobin breakdown, decreased red blood cell count due to hemolysis and increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate value due to inflammation. Aim: This study was aimed at evaluating the effects of malaria parasitemia on erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), red blood cell count (RBC), and bilirubin levels in affected adults attending federal university teaching hospital, Owerri, Nigeria. Method: A total of 90 subjects were recruited for the study. 50 were patients infected with malaria parasitemia, while 40 age - matched healthy subjects served as controls. Seven (7) milliliters of venous blood sample was collected at the antecubital vein aseptically. 2ml was dispensed into ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid containers for RBC estimation, 2ml was dispensed into sodium citrate bottles for ESR determination, while 3ml was dispensed into plain containers for bilirubin estimation. The EDTA, sodium citrate and plain containers were properly labeled with the subjects’ names, sample numbers and date of collection. The blood dispensed into the EDTA, sodium citrate containers, were stored in a refrigerator at -4oC while the serum was stored in a freezer at - 200C prior to use. ESR was analyzed using Westergren method, RBC count using hematology analyzer, and Bilirubin was analyzed using Jendrassik Grof's method.

ANALYZING THE ROLE OF VIRAL LOAD DYNAMICS IN DETERMINING TRANSMISSION RISK ACROSS DIFFERENT STAGES OF HIV INFECTION
type: item
description: Viral load dynamics are critical to understanding HIV transmission, making them a critical area of research with important implications for prevention and treatment strategies. Viral load, defined as the concentration of HIV RNA in the blood of an infected individual, fluctuates significantly between stages of infection and is a major determinant of transmissibility. This study examines the relationship between viral load and the risk of HIV transmission, focusing on the acute, chronic, and late stages of infection, while highlighting the transformative role of antiretroviral therapy (ART). During the acute phase of infection, viral load reaches extremely high peaks, often exceeding 10 million copies per milliliter of blood, which greatly increases the risk of transmission. This increase usually occurs in the weeks following exposure, at a time when individuals are often asymptomatic and unaware of their infection status. As a result, the acute phase contributes disproportionately to HIV transmission. In the chronic phase, viral load stabilizes at a lower “set point,” which varies between individuals but remains high enough for sustained transmission risk. Advanced stages of HIV, characterized by immunosuppression and opportunistic infections, are often associated with a resurgence of viral load, further increasing the potential for transmission. This research integrates results from clinical cohort studies, epidemiological models, and laboratory analyses to provide a comprehensive assessment of viral load dynamics and their role in HIV transmission. Particular attention is paid to the impact of ART, which can reduce viral load to undetectable levels. The concept of “undetectable = untransmissible” (I = I) has been validated by studies such as PARTNER and HPTN 052, which demonstrated that people with sustained viral suppression do not transmit the virus to their partners. The findings highlight the urgency of early HIV diagnosis and prompt initiation of ART to inter…

IN-VITRO ANTAGONISTIC POTENTIAL OF SELECTED TRICHODERMA STRAINS AGAINST ANTHELIA ROLFSII OF TOMATO
type: item
description: Tomato ( Solanum lycopersicum ), a critical global crop, is highly vulnerable to soil-borne pathogens like Athelia rolfsii , which causes devastating diseases such as southern blight and damping-off. This study evaluated the antagonistic potential of 14 molecularly identified Trichoderma strains against A. rolfsii using in-vitro dual culture techniques. Experimental setups included simultaneous, prophylactic, and curative inoculation methods, with treatments assessed for their ability to suppress pathogen growth over nine days. The results revealed significant differences in the efficacy of inoculation methods. Prophylactic inoculation demonstrated superior performance, reducing mycelial growth of A. rolfsii to 3.48 mm by Day 9, compared to 4.68 mm and 5.96 mm for simultaneous and curative methods. Among the Trichoderma strains, T4, T29, and T22 consistently exhibited the highest antagonistic activity, achieving up to 54.6% inhibition of A. rolfsii growth by Day 9. The study also confirmed the statistical significance of these findings, emphasizing the critical role of early application in enhancing pathogen suppression. The data underscore the potential of specific Trichoderma strains as effective biological control agents, offering environmentally sustainable alternatives to chemical fungicides. These findings provide a foundation for integrating Trichoderma into tomato disease management programs, contributing to sustainable agricultural practices. Further research into field-level applications and strain-specific biocontrol mechanisms is recommended.

SCREENING OF DIAGNOSTIC MARKERS FOR DEPRESSION BASED ON BIOINFORMATICS ANALYSIS
type: item
description: Purpose: This study aimed to screen potential diagnostic markers in peripheral blood for major depressive disorder (MDD). Method: First, download the gene expression profile data set GSE32280 from the GEO database. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between MDD and normal control peripheral blood samples were screened using R software. The screened DEGs were subjected to GO functional annotation and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis; then, Cytoscape software was used to construct a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, and key (hub) genes were screened out. ROC analysis was performed on hub genes using R software to identify hub genes with diagnostic value. Results: A total of 104 DEGs were screened out from the GSE32280 data set, including 47 up-regulated genes and 57 down-regulated genes. GO functional annotation showed that 104 DEGs were mainly involved in cell proliferation, inflammatory response, transport regulation and other functions. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis results showed that DEGs were mainly enriched in NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity, interaction between cytokines and their receptors, and chemokine signaling pathways. Obtain 16 hub genes from the PPI network. ROC analysis results of hub genes showed that CXCL1, EGF, IFNG and CXCL8 have high diagnostic value in MDD. Conclusion: CXCL1, EGF, IFNG and CXCL8 are important diagnostic markers for MDD.

EFFECT OF LOW-TEMPERATURE AND LONG-TERM HEATING ON MEAT TENDERNESS
type: item
description: Low-temperature heating means heating below normal cooking temperature (45-85°C). The temperature range of meat is between 50-60℃. Low Temperature Long Time(Low Temperature Long Time, LTLT) refers to heating meat at a low temperature of 50℃-60℃ for a long time to increase the tenderness of the meat. LTLT Improves meat palatability by improving tenderness and juiciness, as low temperatures do not cause browning or caramelization of the meat surface, allowing a relatively pink color to be retained in the meat, thus optimizing color. Since the tenderness, texture, color and flavor of the meat are greatly improved, this method is becoming more and more popular in the meat processing industry and catering industry. Among them, the texture and color of the meat are the main driving forces behind the popularity of LTLT.
