However, the reproductive efficiency of animals is commonly reduced by problems such as puerperal metritis, clinical endometritis, pyometra, subclinical endometritis, early embryonic mortality, repeat breeding, retention of foetal membranes, and post-partum anestrus. ExaparTM Liquid (M/s Ayurvet Limited, India) is a polyherbal uterine cleanser and restorative that helps to achieve and restore better post-partum reproductive efficiency. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of Exapar TM Liquid to induce acute oral toxicity in mice as per OECD 423 guidelines. Nine healthy and adult nulliparous, non-pregnant Swiss albino female mice, weighing 24-28 g, were used for the study. The animals were observed for the manifestation of toxic effects and mortality after the oral administration of the test substance. Toxicity was evaluated on the basis o...

Group 1 served as control, group 2 was treated with imidacloprid @ 50 ppm in feed, group 3 was treated with B. monosperma @ 4 ppm, group 4 was treated with both imidacloprid @ 50 ppm and B. monosperma @ 2 ppm and group 5 was treated with imidacloprid @ 50 ppm and B. monosperma @ 4 ppm for 28 days. Liver of birds treated with imidacloprid showed severe degenerative changes and periportal necrosis and kidneys showed interstitial haemorrhages and vacuolar degenerative changes. Haemorrhages and disrupted bronchial epithelium in lungs, cellular oedema and degenerative changes in myofibers of heart, neuronal degeneration and vacuolation in brain, decreased lymphoid population in spleen, desquamation of villous epithelium in intestine, degeneration of the sciatic nerve fibers were evident in the imidacloprid treated birds. Co-administration of B. monosperma against imidacloprid restored gross an...

However, the efficiency of these functions is upset by common problems such as indigestion, anorexia, flatulence, ruminal stasis and impaction. Pachoplus™ (M/s Ayurvet Limited, India) is a polyherbal rumenotoric, carminative and stomachic that helps to achieve and restore optimum digestive functions in livestock. A study was undertaken to evaluate the potential of Pachoplus™ to elicit acute oral toxicity as per OECD 423 guidelines. Nine non-pregnant, nulliparous, adult female Swiss albino mice were used for the study. The animals were observed for the manifestation of toxic effects and mortality after the oral administration of the test substance. Toxicity was evaluated on the basis of changes in body weight, overt signs of toxicity, gross and histological appearances of vital organs, and blood biochemistry. Pachoplus™ was found safe for oral use as no toxic effects or...

Day-old broiler chicks (n = 100) were randomly divided into four equal groups. Group I served as a negative control and was fed with a commercial diet. On day 8, the birds from groups II and IV were challenged with a single oral dose of E. coli broth culture 0.2 mL (1×10 9 cfu/ mL). Groups III and IV were fed with Andrographis paniculata 5 g/kg of feed from day old to the end of the experiment. The total duration of the experiment was 35 days. On the 7 th , 21 st and 28 th day post infection (DPI) with E. coli, six birds from each group were randomly sacrificed and observed for gross and histopathogical observations. Group II birds showed ascites and thickened intestinal mucosa with cheesy material on the 28th and 35th DPI. Pathomorphological alterations, viz. congestion, hemorrhages, degenerations, necrosis, fibrinous exudates, edema, mononuclear cell and heterophil infiltration in the lung, liver, heart, kidneys and duodenum were observed in group II birds, along with depletion of the lymphoid cell population in the spleen. Pretreatment of Andrographis paniculata in the E. coli challenged group led to mild degenerative changes in all organs, indicating the putative protective effect of the plant during E. coli induced pathology in broilers. However, further, more elaborated study is required to calculate the dosage of Andrographis paniculata for use as an antibacterial agent in broiler feed.

Total 289 fresh fecal samples of dogs (stray and domesticated) from seven tahsils of Akola district were collected and were analyzed by conventional floatation method as well as by PCR. The overall prevalence of E. granulosus infection in dogs was found to be 6.57%. Numerically higher prevalence was observed by PCR method (6.57%) compared to conventional floatation methods (2.77%) indicating PCR is more specific techniques for Echinococcus infection in dog's fecal samples. The numerically higher prevalence was recorded in Akola tahsil (9.84%) followed by Akot (9.30%), Patur (8.82%), Telhara (6.25%), Barshi Takli (4%), Balapur (3.85%) and Murtijapur (2.38%). It was observed those dogs around the slaughter houses and in rural areas was more prevalent compared to domesticated and in resided in town. It is thus concluded that Echinococcal infection is prevalent in Akola district of Maharashtra.

Three different genotypes BB, AB and AA having amplification size 313 bp; 313 bp,202 bp,99 bp and 202 bp, 99 bp, respectively were identified. Genotypic frequencies were 0.38, 0.54 and 0.08 for AA, AB and BB genotype while gene frequency of A allele was 0.65 and B allele was 0.35. The testicular parameters like scrotal circumference (SC), testicular length (TL), testicular width (TW), testicular thickness (TT) as well as seminal attributes like semen volume (Vol) concentration (Conc.) initial motility (IM), post thaw motility (PTM), hypo osmotic swelling test (HOST), abnormal sperm rate (ASR) and acrosome integrity test (AIT) were non significant (P<0.05) between the three genotypes.

Few birds from group II exhibited closed eyes and diarrhoea. Significant decrease was noted in body weight gain of group II whereas improved body weight gain was noted in group IV. Differences of TEC, MCV and MCH were found to be significant between different treatment group birds. The significant decrease in TLC values was recorded in groups II however; progressive increase was recorded in group IV. The significant decrease in lymphocyte count and increase in heterophil count was observed in group II. Co-administration of cow urine distillate against chlorpyrifos restored these changes in group IV. This s...

In the present study, the nephroprotective effect of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) synthesised by Bryophyllum pinnatum was evaluated in ethylene glycol-induced urolithiasis in rat. B. pinnatum-mediated AgNPs which were found to be spherical and polydispersed particles with an average size of 32.65 nm determined by transmission electron microscopy analysis, and showing an absorption peak at 432 nm by the UV-Vis spectrophotometric analysis, revealing the role of hydroxyl group in the synthesis by Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy analysis, with a zeta potential value of -15.7 mV. The crystalline nature and fcc structure was demonstrated based on X-ray diffraction analysis. Animal study was performed on 36 male Wistar rats divided into six equal groups, which demonstrated significant increase in serum total protein, albumin and gl...

The present investigation deals with the green synthesis of biogenic zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) using Bryophyllum pinnatum leaves, their characterization and evaluation of acute oral toxicity in Wistar rats. The characterization of synthesized ZnO-NPs revealed maximum absorbance at 307 nm on UV-Vis spectrophotometric analysis, NTA showed mean size of particles and mode of the particles distribution as 128.2 nm and 12.6 nm, respectively. Zeta potential was found to be −0.369 mV. The absorbance shown by FTIR at 3469, 1644, 1355 and 887 cm-1 indicates the involvement of biomolecules that are accountable for capping and stabilization of ZnO-NPs. The XRD assessment further demonstrated the crystalline nature of the ZnO-NP. The TEM analysis of the synthesized ZnO-NPs revealed the presence of spherical NPs with the mean size of 3.7 nm. The acute oral...

Most of these butfaloes were of 10-15 years age old. Blood glucose was estimated with the help of glucometer using glucostix (Bayer Diag-nostics, India). Serum cholesterol, protein, calcium and phosphorus were estimated in automated anatyzer (Span Autochem). The thyroid glands collected in 10% formal saline solution were processed routinely and stained by H and E stain for m icroscopic examination.

Clinical examination findings reported were large ulcerated, neoplastic mass located at the unpigmented areas on the mucocutaneous junction of the vulva. Histopathologically, the ulcerated growth showed irregular cords of neoplastic squamous epithelial cells surrounded by connective tissue stroma. The tumor showed formation of keratin pearls in the centre of cords and presence of few mitotic figures. The neoplastic squamous cells showed large hyperchromatic nuclei. On the basis of histopathological examination, the present case was diagnosed as vulvar squamous cell carcinoma.
