Photosensitization disease can cause production-reproduction losses and animal welfare losses worldwide, resulting in to great economic losses to farmers. Animals in countries like India and other South Asian countries which fall on or near the equator are very much prone to photosensitization. Photosensitization majorly affects the skin, hair and eye of the animals. Animals with pigmented skin are less likely to be affected by photosensitization. Young, sick, non-pigmented or hairless animals are more prone to dermal photosensitization than those are mature, healthy, pigmented or hairy. Photosensitization in a biological system such as the epidermis leads to oxidative or other chemical change in a molecule in response to light-induced excitation of endogenously or exogenously-delivered molecules within the tissue. Hence, to discuss various types of photosensitization, its pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment protocol and probable preventive measures, this review paper is placed on record.","PeriodicalId":351246,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Livestock Science","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126056787","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}

Five forage samples namely berseem ( Trifolium alexandrinum ), maize ( Zea mays ), oat ( Avena sativa ), sorghum ( Sorghum bicolor ), pearl millet ( Pennisetum glaucum ); and four agro-industrial byproducts viz. sugarcane tops ( Saccharum officinarum ), oat hay, wheat straw ( Triticum aestivum ) and paddy (rice) straw ( Oryza sativa ) were evaluated by using Cornell net carbohydrate and protein (CNCP) system. Among various carbohydrate fractions, CA (Instantly/fast degradable fraction) was found highest in berseem (34.24%) and lowest in oat hay (2.63%); whereas CB1 values (Intermediately degradable fraction) ranged from 11.46% (berseem) to 3.73% (pearl millet). CB2 (Slowly degradable fraction) was highest in sugarcane tops (73.46%) and lowest in berseem (34.25%). CC which refers as undegradable carbohydrate fraction was found highest in oat hay (25.99%), but lowest in sugarcane tops (10.09%). On the other hand, protein fractions, PA (Instantaneously degradable) was found highest in sugarcane tops (39.79%) and the lowest value was there for paddy straw (9.79%). On the contrary, paddy straw contained highest PB3, which accounts for slowly degradable fraction of protein as 36.47% and the lowest value was in sugarcane tops (4.73%). Non-degradable fraction (PC) was found highest in wheat straw (30.66%) and lowest in oat (10.56%). The CNCP analysis dictated the nutrient utilization potential of the given forages and agro-industrial byproducts. Therefore, having lower CC fraction, sugarcane tops and sorghum may supply higher content of carbohydrates, however, lower PC content of oat and pearl millet make them good protein sources to ruminant ration.","PeriodicalId":351246,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Livestock Science","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116894207","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}

The results show that a majority of the dairy farmers prefer to breed their dairy animals using Artificial Insemination (using semen of Indian bulls) for breeding by a doctor, vaccinate animals against Foot & Mouth Disease, do deworming of calves against internal parasites but not that of adult animals, ignore disinfecting dairy shed, provide bedding material to new born calves and keep their pregnant dairy animals in the same shed along with other dairy animals. Most of them have the facility of shed with slanted roof of asbestos material for housing their dairy animals in single row system.

Assessment of diversity is essential for germplasm characterization and management. Motu, the dwarf cattle breed is used for draught purpose in hilly and undulated terrain and the breed is named after local area \"Motu\" of Malkangiri district in Odissa. Their breeding tract comprises southern part of Malkangiri district and adjoining area of Chhattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh. Heavy concentration of these animals is found in Motu, Kalimela, Podia and Malkangiri areas of Malkagiri district. The coat colour of this breed is mainly brown (reddish) and sometimes gray. Animals of this breed are mostly polled and horns whenever present emerge straight and upward and end with rounded tip. Though the breed is small sized they are strong in built. The milk yield is meager and ranges from 60 to 140 Kg in a lactation with 4.8 to 5.3% fat. These local breeds are specially adapted to different agro-climatic conditions and their genetic diversity is due to the process of domestication over the centuries. The native breeds like Motu need to be conserved for genetic insurance in future, scientific study, as a part of our ecosystem, cultural and ethical requirements and for energy sources in future.

The diverse activity of neem leaves on intestinal micro flora, which avoids stressful conditions, could explain why broiler hens' body weight and body weight gain improved after NLP was added to their diets. The feed consumption of the control and neem leaf fed broiler chicken groups differs significantly. Its hunger and digestion stimulating, antimicrobial, and hepatoprotective effects may account for the increased feed intake. The enhanced feed intake could be explained by its appetite and digestion stimulating, antibacterial, and hepatoprotective properties, which help to lessen the microbial burden of birds and boost feed consumption. To increase overall performance, in commercial broiler chicken diets, neem leaf powder can be employed as a cost-effective natural feed supplement. To fully leverage the neem plant's potential benefits as a broiler feed, more research is needed in these areas.","PeriodicalId":351246,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Livestock Science","volume":"184 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114157366","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}
