Summary: Increased meat and egg production has led to changes in poultry practices, such as the indiscriminate use of formaldehyde for sanitizing hatching eggs. This review examines the potential use of essential oils as a substitute for formaldehyde in reducing microbial exposure in hatching eggs and embryos. Although most essential oils have shown to be safer and effective, further studies on the microbiological profile and economic feasibility are needed.

Summary: This article explores the possibility of replacing staple cereals with pseudocereals like Chia, Quinoa, Buckwheat, and Amaranth. These pseudocereals not only provide essential nutrients but also have several bioactive compounds that can reduce the risk of non-communicable diseases. The bioactive compounds present in these plant seeds help to reduce oxidative stress and improve the health status of consumers. Additionally, the high soluble fiber content in pseudocereals aids in regulating bowel movement and preventing cardiovascular diseases.

Summary: This study examined the effects of dietary rosehip meal and flaxseed meal on hens' egg quality characteristics, amino acids, fatty acids, health-related indices, antioxidant capacity, total polyphenols content, and shelf life. The results showed that the addition of rosehip meal and flaxseed meal increased the content of essential amino acids, antioxidant amino acids, and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in eggs. Furthermore, the eggs from the supplemented groups exhibited higher antioxidant capacity, polyphenol content, and better egg quality parameters, even after storage.

Summary: A systematic review and meta-analysis of 47 studies on cattle, 48 studies on cows, and 13 studies on buffaloes in India between 1990 and 2019 showed that the prevalence of babesiosis in the country was 10.9%, 11.9%, and 6.0% respectively. Cattle were found to be at a higher risk than buffaloes, indicating the widespread presence of this haemoparasitic disease in India and its significant impact on bovines.

Summary: Poultry is an important source of human protein, but the feed used for poultry is often contaminated with mycotoxins, toxic secondary metabolites produced by fungi. This review focuses on the use of yeast and its derived products to overcome these mycotoxins in poultry diets. Yeast has been found to promote the growth of broilers, enhance immunity, improve gut immunity, and reduce the proportion of harmful microorganisms. Therefore, the inclusion of yeast as a feed additive is considered promising in mitigating the effects of mycotoxins in poultry.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate mycotoxins in milk from women farmers' vendors and evaluate herbal plant fibers as green mycotoxin binders. The binding efficiency of mycotoxins using shaking or soaking processes with herbal extracts was explored. Results showed no fumonisins in cow milk samples but a 25% occurrence in buffalo's milk. A high occurrence of aflatoxin M1 was observed in both buffalo and cow milk. Soaking plant fibers in contaminated milk overnight significantly degraded and adsorbed mycotoxin particles. Shaking process with plant fibers was more effective in mycotoxin degradation than soaking or shaking alone, with shaking speed playing a crucial role.

Summary: The study revealed the predominance of selection forces over mutational forces in determining codon usage patterns in HBoV. Compositional parameters played a crucial role in the occurrence of dinucleotides and frequently used codons. Despite the A/T richness, G/C nucleotide content was found to be the highest in the non-neutral positions of the codon, indicating selective forces. A low codon bias was observed in HBoV, with nine A/T ending codons overrepresented and nineteen G/C ending codons underrepresented. The most overrepresented codon was AGA instead of the commonly observed CTG, encoding arginine.
