Summary: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of emulsifier and multicarbohydrase enzyme supplementation on performance, nutrient utilization, and apparent metabolizable energy-nitrogen (AMEN) value of broiler diets containing rapeseed meal (RSM) as well as their influence on the gut morphological structures, excretion of total and free sialic acid, and cecum concentration of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in broiler chickens. The results showed that the simultaneous usage of emulsifier and enzyme supplementation had beneficial effects on production parameters, nutrient digestibility, NDF degradation, as well as gut mucosa morphology. The addition of emulsifier or enzyme did not lead to excessive fermentation activity of cecal bacteria based on the concentration of SCFAs.

Summary: Due to its favorable properties, soybean meal (SBM) is commonly used in diets for young growing animals. This study investigates the substitution of SBM with regionally produced rapeseed meal (RSM) in piglet diets and its impact on the environment. The results show that replacing SBM with RSM reduces the negative impact on climate change, without negatively affecting piglet performance. This suggests that using RSM instead of SBM could be a viable solution for reducing environmental impact in piglet diets.

Summary: We investigated the effects of drought stress on pearl millet seedlings and its survival mechanism. Our results showed that drought stress led to significant changes in morphophysiological attributes and degradation of chlorophyll pigment in pearl millet seedlings. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels were elevated and membrane lipids were peroxidized, indicating oxidative stress induced by ROS. The activities of antioxidant enzymes and levels of non-enzymatic antioxidants were inhibited, suggesting a loss of antioxidant defense machinery. These findings suggest that pearl millet is highly susceptible to drought stress at the early seedling stage, despite its tolerance to arid climates.

Summary: This study evaluated phylogenetic diversity, antimicrobial resistance, and the presence of pathogenicity island (PAI) markers in Escherichia coli isolates from retail chicken meat and human urinary tract infections (UTIs). The study found both commensal and pathogenic E. coli strains in chicken meat and human isolates, with the presence of PAI markers. These isolates displayed multiple antibiotic resistance and biofilm formation capacity. The findings suggest that retail chicken meat may be a potential source of E. coli infections in humans, emphasizing the need for intensive surveillance in the poultry industry.

Summary: The current study aims to utilize nanomaterials to improve water chemical quality and preserve the environment and human health. Carbon nanotubes (CNT) were found to be effective in removing lead and copper ions from water, with the removal efficiency inversely correlated with the initial metal concentration. Under optimal conditions, CNT can rapidly remove heavy metal contaminants at a relatively low dose and cost.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of thymol and thymoquinone on the growth, immune response, antioxidant capacity, and resistance to Aeromonas sobria in Nile tilapia. The results show that the dietary inclusion of thymol and thymoquinone significantly improves the growth rate and feed conversion ratio of tilapia, and provides defense against A. sobria infection. Furthermore, the expression of genes related to digestion, antioxidant enzymes, inflammation, and autophagy is influenced by the dietary inclusion of thymol and thymoquinone. Overall, this study highlights the potential benefits of thymol and thymoquinone in enhancing fish productivity and health in aquaculture.
