Abstract:
The use of medicinal plants has been gaining increasing attention due to antibiotic resistance and the need to promote a healthy environment as well as food safety. Secondary metabolites in Trichilia monadelpha stem bark extract (TMSBE) was analyzed using gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC/MS) system while proximate analysis of experimental diet was carried out using Near Infra-red Spectrophotometer kit (NIR). 40 growing New Zealand white × Chinchilla crossbred rabbits of 6-7 weeks age (472.6 ± 6.2 g) were used for the experiment. Rabbits were randomly assigned to 4 groups; each treatment was further divided into 5 replicates consisting of 2 rabbits each. Group 1 (G1): Basal diet with no TMSBE, G2: Basal diet plus 3 mL TMSBE per rabbit/day, G3: Basal diet plus 6 mL TMSBE per rabbit/day and G4: Basal diet plus 9 mL TMSBE per rabbit/day. Experimental diet was formulated to meet the nutrient requirement standards for growing rabbits according to Nutritional Research Council standards (1977). GC/MS analysis of TMSBE revealed that it is abundant in coapene (25.40 %) followed by azulene (18.29 %), δ-cadinene (15.39 %), α-cubebene (10.61 %) and α-longipinene (10.11 %) respectively other compounds were less than 5 %. Average weekly weight gain (AWWG), average weekly feed intake (AWFI) and feed conversion ratio (FCR) were significantly (P˂0.05) different among the treatments. AWWG and AWFI follow similar trend and were highest in G3 and G4, intermediate in G2, lowest in G1 (P˂0.05). Better FCR were recorded among rabbits in G4 compared to the other groups (P˂0.05). It was concluded that feeding TMSBE at 9 mL/day improved feed intake and enhance performance in rabbits.

Abstract:
Strategies that reduce feeding costs became extremely important in the pandemic period, which provided a great increasing in the rabbit feeding costs. Feed restriction can improve intestinal health as well as to economize feed in the farm. This work aimed to evaluate the productive performance and digestibility in growing rabbits submitted to feed restriction. Therefore, 160 rabbits weaned at 32 days of age were distributed into two groups, which consisted of ad libitum and feed restriction. Rabbits with feed restriction received 50g per day in the week after weaning, 100g daily from 53 to 60 days of age and ad libitum from 39 to 53 and 61 to 74 days of age. Rabbits of the ad libitum group has free access to feed throughout all experimental period (32 to 74 days of age). For the digestibility assay, total faeces collection was performed using 10 animals from each treatment of the growing experiment. Rabbits with feed restriction were lighter at 39, 53 and 60 days, but reached 74 days with similar slaughter weight, showing compensatory growth. The productive performance of rabbits with feed restriction was impaired within the two restriction periods, with subsequent recovery. The treatments alternated superiority for daily weight gain in the different evaluated periods, although considering the entire period, there was similarity. Outside the restriction periods and considering the entire experimental period, daily feed consumption was similar, suggesting that there were no significant feed savings. Feed conversion was similar when consider all period. There were no significant effects on the digestibility coefficients of dry matter, organic matter and mineral matter. Feed restriction at the proposed levels can be used without impairing the performance of rabbits.

Abstract:
Optimal nutritional management of growing pigs is constrained by lack of quantitative information on the response of animals between 30 and 110 kg live weight to dietary energy content. Under 'ideal' conditions modern genotypes appear to adjust feed intake to maintain a constant DE intake over a much wider range of dietary energy concentrations than previously thought (Mullan et al, 1998). However, under commercial pen conditions, voluntary feed intake is lower, pigs respond in terms of both growth rate and feed conversion to dietary DE density considerably above the levels currently thought to maximise biological and economic responses. The present study was designed to provide information on the response of growing pigs to dietary energy content under ideal and commercial housing conditions for two growth periods 30-60kg liveweight and 60-100kg liveweight. The results of the pigs kept under individual (ideal) housed conditions were consistent with the literature in that they adjusted their voluntary feed intake with digestible energy density to maintain a constant energy intake. The results of the pigs kept in groups (commercial) housing conditions tended to increase their daily energy intake as the energy density of the feed increased. This increase in energy intake improved the growth rate of the pigs and increased the fat deposition of those pigs. Economic analysis of the experiments involving pigs in groups indicates that formulating diets to a least cost per megajoule of digestible energy is not the most profitable point to set the digestible energy density. Modelling programs need to be used to determine where the least cost per unit of growth of the pig occurs. This is the most economical digestible energy density to formulate too. This will have major impact on the cost of production of piggery operations as the cost of energy is the single most important parameter in the cost of producing a pig.

Three studies were conducted to assess effects of mineral supplementation on growing cattle performance, mineral status, and in vitro fermentation. Exp. 1 was a 3-part study that measured effects of Cu source and concentration on in vitro fermentation by mixed ruminal microbes. An initial in vitro experiment was performed to identify a Cu concentration (0, 100, 200, 300, 400, or 500 mg Cu/kg substrate DM) that would yield a 50% decrease in gas production. This concentration (100 mg Cu/kg substrate) was then used to evaluate varying Cu sources in the 3rd part of Exp.1. Titration of Cu (0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, and 70 mg Cu/kg DM substrate) linearly decreased (P < 0.01) in vitro gas production, acetate, and propionate production. Inhibition of ruminal fermentation by Cu sources (CuSO₄, CuCl₂, CuCO₃, CuO, and tribasic copper chloride) also was evaluated using an in vitro fermentation system. Sources were incorporated into cultures at 100 mg Cu/kg substrate DM, a concentration great enough to elicit an inhibitory response. Copper sulfate and CuCl₂ were more inhibitory to in vitro fermentation, as indicated by decreases in gas production, VFA, and IVDMD, and increases in pH (P < 0.01). In Exp. 2, heifers were fed 3 different free-choice minerals: salt (S), a dry mineral basemix with salt (M), and a cooked molasses block (B); M and utilized the identical basemix. Mineral source had no effect on DMI, G:F, or concentrations of plasma P and Zn (P > 0.10). Average daily gain was greatest for M (P = 0.03), and not different between S and B (P = 0.98). Liver Cu concentrations were different among treatments (P < 0.01), with M having the greatest, B intermediate, and S having the least. Total dietary mineral intake also was different among treatments (P < 0.01), and was greatest for M, intermediate for B, and the least for S (P < 0.01). Experiment 3 × 4 factorial design and evaluated minerals added as different supplement types and trace mineral concentrations (0, 1, 5, or 10×) in an in vitro batch culture fermentation. Cooked molasses mineral blocks were compared to a dry mineral premix, and a dry mineral premix + molasses block added separately. In vitro fermentation was not different between the two molasses block treatments (P > 0.01); however, addition of molasses blocks increased fermentation to a greater extent than dry mineral alone (P < 0.01). Increasing trace mineral concentration decreased fermentation linearly (P < 0.01). In conclusion, excesses of trace elements can adversely affect fermentation by ruminal microbes. Mineral status in growing cattle was reflective of mineral intake; however, block supplements may be a method to control mineral intake to minimize overconsumption.

Abstract:
: The necessity to improve broiler thermotolerance and performance led to the following hypothesis: (a) thethermoregulatory-response threshold for heat production can be altered by thermal manipulation (TM) during incubation so as to improve the acquisition of thermotolerance in the post-hatch broiler;and (b) TM during embryogenesis will improve myoblast proliferation during the embryonic and post-hatch periods with subsequent enhanced muscle growth and meat production. The original objectives of this study were as follow: 1. to assess the timing, temperature, duration, and turning frequency required for optimal TM during embryogenesis; 2. to evaluate the effect of TM during embryogenesis on thermoregulation (heat production and heat dissipation) during four phases: (1) embryogenesis, (2) at hatch, (3) during growth, and (4) during heat challenge near marketing age; 3. to investigate the stimulatory effect of thermotolerance on hormones that regulate thermogenesis and stress (T₄, T₃, corticosterone, glucagon); 4. to determine the effect of TM on performance (BW gain, feed intake, feed efficiency, carcass yield, breast muscle yield) of broiler chickens; and 5. to study the effect of TM during embryogenesis on skeletal muscle growth, including myoblast proliferation and fiber development, in the embryo and post-hatch chicks.This study has achieved all the original objectives. Only the plasma glucagon concentration (objective 3) was not measured as a result of technical obstacles. Background to the topic: Rapid growth rate has presented broiler chickens with seriousdifficulties when called upon to efficiently thermoregulate in hot environmental conditions. Being homeotherms, birds are able to maintain their body temperature (Tb) within a narrow range. An increase in Tb above the regulated range, as a result of exposure to environmental conditions and/or excessive metabolic heat production that often characterize broiler chickens, may lead to a potentially lethal cascade of irreversible thermoregulatory events. Exposure to temperature fluctuations during the perinatal period has been shown to lead to epigenetic temperature adaptation. The mechanism for this adaptation was based on the assumption that environmental factors, especially ambient temperature, have a strong influence on the determination of the “set-point” for physiological control systems during “critical developmental phases.” In order to sustain or even improve broiler performance, TM during the period of embryogenesis when satellite cell population normally expand should increase absolute pectoralis muscle weight in broilers post-hatch. Major conclusions: Intermittent TM (39.5°C for 12 h/day) during embryogenesis when the thyroid and adrenal axis was developing and maturing (E7 to E16 inclusive) had a long lasting thermoregulatory effect that improved thermotolerance of broiler chickens exposed to acute thermal stress at market age by lowering their functional Tb set point, thus lowering metabolic rate at hatch, improving sensible heat loss, and significantly decreasing the level of stress. Increased machine ventilation rate was required during TM so as to supply the oxygen required for the periods of increased embryonic development. Enhancing embryonic development was found to be accomplished by a combination of pre-incubation heating of embryos for 12 h at 30°C, followed by increasing incubation temperature to 38°C during the first 3 days of incubation. It was further facilitated by increasing turning frequency of the eggs to 48 or 96 times daily. TM during critical phases of muscle development in the late-term chick embryo (E16 to E18) for 3 or 6 hours (39.5°C) had an immediate stimulatory effect on myoblast proliferation that lasted for up to two weeks post-hatch; this was followed by increased hypertrophy at later ages. The various incubation temperatures and TM durations focused on the fine-tuning of muscle development and growth processes during late-term embryogenesis as well as in post-hatch chickens.

Abstract:
At the same time that many colleges and universities are seeking new ways to more equitably admit and support students, a growing number of schools and districts are using performance assessments to prepare for and monitor deeper learning in high school. Performance assessments measure students’ knowledge, skills, and abilities by asking students to use them in the real-world contexts in which they are required. Student performance on well-designed assessments provides a reflection of deeper learning practices and offers rigorous and equitable ways to surface important academic and nonacademic knowledge and skills.

Use of fungal endophytes to increase cucurbit plant performance by conferring abiotic and biotic stress tolerance.

Abstract:
Major threats to agricultural sustainability in the 21st century are drought, increasing temperatures, soil salinity and soilborne pathogens, all of which are being exacerbated by climate change and pesticide abolition and are burning issues related to agriculture in the Middle East. We have found that Class 2 fungal endophytes adapt native plants to environmental stresses (drought, heat and salt) in a habitat-specific manner, and that these endophytes can confer stress tolerance to genetically distant monocot and eudicot hosts. In the past, we generated a uv non-pathogenic endophytic mutant of Colletotrichum magna (path-1) that colonized cucurbits, induced drought tolerance and enhanced growth, and protected 85% - 100% against disease caused by certain pathogenic fungi. We propose: 1) utilizing path-1 and additional endophtyic microorganisms to be isolated from stress-tolerant local, wild cucurbit watermelon, Citrulluscolocynthis, growing in the Dead Sea and Arava desert areas, 2) generate abiotic and biotic tolerant melon crop plants, colonized by the isolated endophytes, to increase crop yields under extreme environmental conditions such as salinity, heat and drought stress, 3) manage soilborne fungal pathogens affecting curubit crop species growing in the desert areas. This is a unique and novel "systems" approach that has the potential to utilize natural plant adaptation for agricultural development. We envisage that endophyte-colonized melons will eventually be used to overcome damages caused by soilborne diseases and also for cultivation of this crop, under stress conditions, utilizing treated waste water, thus dealing with the limited resource of fresh water.

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: The objective of the present study was to analyze the findings of the scientific literature related to MMA through an exploratory systematic review on the subject and to present the state of the art of the sport from a multifactorial perspective. Condition being studied: Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is a full contact combat sport characterized by its high degree of freedom in offensive and defensive approaches resulting in the inclusion of techniques and tactics from multiple combat sport styles. MMA has gained legitimacy and uniformity of rule sets after a tumultuous and unregulated introduction in North America as well as it is one of the fastest growing sports in the world. However, to the best of our knowledge, there are still no methodical, comprehensive, transparent, and replicable studies that have summarized the overall perspective of MMA athletes, resulting in an integrated analysis for a better scientific understanding and more efficient practical applications.
