Cnidoscolus aconitifolius has been reported to possess medicinal properties. This study is aimed at determining experimentally if the acclaimed benefits are true. \u0000Methodology: This study investigated the biochemical effect of Bonny light crude oil and Cnidoscolus aconitifolius leaf extract orally administered to albino rats at different concentrations. In this study, albino rats were orally exposed to different concentrations of Bonny light oil (BLCO) and Cnidoscolus aconitifolius leaf extract individually and in combination. \u0000Findings: The results after 21days of exposure revealed that BLCO and Cnidoscolus aconitifolius induction at concentrations of 250mg/kgb.wt and 500mg/kgb.wt could induce physiological damage within 21days. This is revealed by the results obtained from the histological analysis of the testes and the detectable heavy metal concentration in the blood samples. \u0000Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practice: As a result, the induction of this leaf extract and BLCO at concentrations of 250mgf/kgb.wt and 500mg/kgb.wt consecutively for 21days may be injurious to health as revealed by the results from the histological analysis. Therefore, it is recommended that the use of this plant leaf extract and BLCO in folkloric medicine at concentrations similar to the ones used in this research should be avoided.","PeriodicalId":13993,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Fauna and Biological Studies","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83104777","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

So the use of probiotics has been increased day by day to combat with several disorders related to reproductive health. In current study, the potential role of probiotics including Lactobacillus casei (L 1 ) and Lactobacillus coagulans (L 2 ) has been demonstrated against a tetramic acid-derived pesticide Spirotetramat which has been found to cause variable toxicity at different levels in the life cycle of various organisms. For this study, five groups including a control group of male Wistar rats; were studied for toxicological evaluation. A daily dose of Spirotetramat for 28 days (667 mg/kg BW per day) was administrated along with probiotics L 1 and L 2 (1x107cfu/ml) in five groups according to protocol. Oxidative stress was estimated by calculating levels of different parameters including Superoxide dismutase (SOD), Lipid peroxidation (LPO), Glutathione peroxidase (GPx) Catalase CAT, and Glutathione (GSH) soon after sacrifice. LPO was found to be increased with GSH, CAT, and GPx and with a significant decrease in SOD ( p <0.01) in pesticide-controlled rats as compared to untreated ones. After the treatment by L 1 and L 2 , a significant recovery ( p <0.05) was observed in toxicity parameters in relation to normal rats. The results also revealed that spirotetramat exposure caused significant reductions in sperm count, motility, and viability in male rats. However, treatment with L 1 and L 2 was found to mitigate these effects. Specifically, co-administration of Spirotetramat with L 1 and L 2 resulted in significant improvements in sperm count, motility, and viability in male Wistar rats.","PeriodicalId":13993,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Fauna and Biological Studies","volume":"52 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79816226","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study was aimed at investigating the distribution of heavy metals in some fish species, water column and sediment of Koramar Wanke Dam. Water and sediment samples were collected from 4 different sampling stations across the dam, while fish species (Bagrus bayad, Clarias gariepinus, and Oreochromis niloticus,) were bought at Dabar Masunta fish landing site of the dam on monthly basis for a period of three months from August 2023 to October 2023. Heavy metals Cadmium (Cd), Copper (Cu), and Lead (Pb) were analyzed in water samples, fish samples and sediment samples the dam using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS). The heavy metal level ranges in fish samples examined were Cd, 0.02 mg/kg-0.04mg/kg; Cu, 0.02 mg/kg-0.08 mg/kg; and Pb, 0.02 mg/kg-0.06 mg/kg. The result also showed the mean concentration range of 0.01-0.02 mg/l for Cd; 0.06-0.12mg/l for Cu; and 0.03-0.11 mg/l for Pb in water samples examined. The mean concentration of detected in the sediment samples ranged from 0.08-0.29 mg/kg; 0.14-0.21 mg/kg; and 0.08-0.17 mg/kg for Cd, Cu, and Pb respectively. The results obtained show minimal concentrations of the examined heavy metals in the water body below the recommended permissible levels. However, it is advisable to continue to take adequate measures to prevent entry of sewage, toxic substances and contaminants from industrial sources and agricultural residues from pesticides and insecticides into the water body, and to conduct further study at another period.","PeriodicalId":13993,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Fauna and Biological Studies","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135506442","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research aims to determine the response of local Bali ducks to the provision of Asystasia gangetica flour in rations. The study used were completely randomized design with 4 treatments and 5 replications. Treatment given: 100% commercial ration + 0% Asystasia gangetica flour as control (A); 95% commercial diet + 5% Asystasia gangetica flour (B); 90% commercial ration + 10% Asystasia gangetica (C) flour; and 85% commercial ration + 15% Asystasia gangetica flour (D). Observed performance variables: initial body weight, final body weight, body weight gain, ration consumption, drinking water consumption, feed conversion ratio and production cost efficiency. The results of the research showed that initial body weight, final weight, body weight gain and consumption of rations containing Asystasia gangetica flour in ration had no effect on the performance of local Bali ducks. In addition, replacing some commercial rations with Asystasia gangetica flour caused the FCR value to increase. The highest FCR value in treatment D4 was 3.74 and decreased respectively in treatments D3, D2 and D1 (3.65, 3.58 and 3.51). Production costs decreased along with the increasing use of Asystasia gangetica flour (2.02-6.03%). It can be concluded that replacing some commercial rations with Asystasia gangetica flour of 10-15% can provide the same performance as treatment without Asystasia gangetica flour and reduce production costs.","PeriodicalId":13993,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Fauna and Biological Studies","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135313101","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
