During deep-anestrous season March-April, 25° North), multiparous (n = 38) similar body weight (BW) and condition score (BCS) were randomly assigned to two groups: (1) supplemented group (SG; n 19; BCS: 1.76 ± 0.07; BW: 43.7 1.8 kg), receiving 400 g goat d-1 dairy-cow-feed leftovers prior grazing; (2) non-supplemented (NS; 0.06; 44.3 2.5 kg). Both groups directed rangeland for period ≈8 h. While experimental lasted 36 d, breeding considered 11 d (d0-d10). The anovulatory status was ultrasonographically confirmed days -20, -10, -1 male-female interaction.

Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) exhibits the most potent mutagenic and carcinogenic activity among aflatoxins. For this reason, AFB1 is recognized as a human group 1 carcinogen by International Agency of Research on Cancer. Consequently, it essential to determine its properties behavior in different chemical systems. The can be explored using computational chemistry, which has been employed complementarily experimental investigations. present review includes silico studies (semiempirical, Hartree–Fock, DFT, molecular docking, dynamics) conducted from first study 1974 (2022).

Mycotoxin contamination on food and feed can have deleterious effect human animal health. Agricultural crops may contain one or more mycotoxin compounds; therefore, a good multiplex detection method is desirable to ensure safety. In this study, we developed rapid using label-free surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) simultaneously detect three common types of mycotoxins found corn, namely aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), zearalenone (ZEN), ochratoxin A (OTA). The intrinsic chemical fingerprint from each was characterized by their unique spectra, enabling clear discrimination between them. limit (LOD) AFB1, ZEN, OTA corn were 10 ppb (32 nM), 20 (64 100 (248 respectively. Multivariate statistical analysis used predict concentrations up 1.5 ppm (4.8 µM) based the SERS spectra known concentrations, resulting in correlation coefficient 0.74, 0.89, 0.72, sampling time less than 30 min per sample. application multivariate promising for simultaneous be extended other crops.

Abstract This study investigates the impact of urea molasses-treated wheat straw on growth performance and nutrient digestibility in Azikheli buffalo male calves. A longitudinal experiment was conducted sixteen calves, randomly assigned to four experimental dietary treatments ( n = 4 per group). The diets included a control group (U0) with untreated three groups where replaced 33% (U33), 66% (U66), or 100% (U100) total mixed ration. Results indicated that increasing proportion urea-treated from 0 led significant improvements dry matter intake (from 2931 4034 g/day) organic 2596 3623 g/day). Digestibility matter, crude protein, fiber also followed an trend, reaching 77.42%, 81.21%, 87.10%, 60.22%, respectively, at highest level. Furthermore, weight gain significantly greater calves fed straw, by those U66, U33, U0 groups. Feed conversion efficiency improved substantially U100 U66 than U33 U0. These findings suggest incorporating higher levels UMTWS rations enhances digestibility, promoting superior feed
