Abstract

    Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) is a highly contagious viral illness that predominantly affects cloven-hoofed animals. To identify and profile the predominant FMDV serotypes circulating in Baluchistan bovine and buffalo populations. Twenty tissue samples were collected and analyzed using sandwich indirect ELISA and RT-PCR to identify the presence and genetic characteristics of FMD virus. We identifie... Details

Abstract

    The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of corn and wheat on broiler liver health. Hundred one-day-old birds were divided into two groups. A standard diet was fed to Group I while corn (50%) with new wheat (50%) was fed to Group II. Blood samples were collected from five birds from each group on the 21st and 35th days to determine serum ALT, TAC, and TOS levels. ALT levels did no... Details
