A standardized and simple method for the determination of tastant-detection thresholds is required for chemosensory research in poultry as well poultry feed formulation. The goal of the study was to evaluate the effect of aging on the behavioural taste sensitivities of broiler chickens in order to improve the efficiency of feeding through correct feed selection and ration preparation. It especially aimed to establish the threshold concentrations of five different taste components (sweet, sour, bitter, salt, and umami). Total of 15 feeding trials for broiler chicks of various ages were performed. For each taste quality, the powdered flavor active ingredients for sweet, sour, bitter, salty, and umami were selected. The actual drinking volume of water and taste solution was identified. Because the p values were less than 0.05, the concentrations of sucrose (100 mM), citric acid (50 mM), sodium chloride (20 mM), caffeine (10 mM), and mono-sodium glutamate (MSG) (100 mM) were significant. Taken together, it may be concluded that the taste active chemical sensitivity was very \"concentration-dependent\" manner for the aforementioned concentrations and that younger chickens have a greater sense of taste than older birds.\u0000Bangladesh Journal of Animal Science 52 (1): 22-28, March 2023","PeriodicalId":8873,"journal":{"name":"Bangladesh Journal of Animal Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78748159","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}

Black cumin seeds and green tea are believed to have pro-oxidant effects against various age-related disorders. Using mice model, this study was conducted to elucidate the impact of black cumin and green tea on fertility and offspring morphology of mammalian females during reproductive aging. For this, twenty aged female mice (£180 days old) were served either with or without black cumin through feed, green tea through drinking water, or their combination. The mice were regularly checked for estrus cycle and mated with males. Similar reproductive patterns were observed in all the groups up to 285 days. After that, weak estrus or anestrus was observed in the control group; however, the active reproductive period was observed to extend up to 350, 375, and 432 days in mice treated with black cumin, green tea, and their combination, respectively. Accordingly, the treatment of black cumin and green tea significantly increased the average number of pups per litter, having comparatively higher birth weight and weaning weight. Moreover, the duration of hair development and eye-opening were significantly reduced in all treated mother. The serum immunoglobulin results revealed higher immunity in mice treated with black cumin and green tea treatment either separately or in combination. Similarly, healthy ovarian follicles with a compact layer of granulosa cells and expanded cumulus cell layer surrounded by oocytes in all the treated mice compared to those of untreated mice. These findings will be helpful for developing breeding strategies during the reproductive aging of mammalian females.\u0000Bangladesh Journal of Animal Science 52 (1): 29-37, March 2023","PeriodicalId":8873,"journal":{"name":"Bangladesh Journal of Animal Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89363050","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}

Therefore, this study gathered information regarding adverse climatic livestock production, adaptation, and mitigation strategies to the hazards' impact, finding research opportunities, and suggesting ideas for policymaking. The impact of increased temperature, altered rainfall, drought, flood, riverbank erosion, salinity, natural calamities like cyclones, etc. on livestock production was reviewed and reported in this article. They are responsible for reducing the availability and quality of fodder and water, declining livestock growth and reproduction, spreading diseases, and posing a threat to animal genetic resources. On the other hand, Bangladesh is anticipated to descend under water as a result of sea level rise resulting in a saline incursion into cropland and freshwater, drastically affecting crop and livestock production, especially in coastal regions. The impact of the hazards can be reduced through following some mitigation and adaptation strategies such as adopting and improving local breeds, practicing mixed farming systems, embracing climate smart livestock management systems, providing insurances for the losses to farmers, and so on. Feeding practices can be altered during flood by providing tree leaves, UMB, unconventional feeds.  In conclusion, this review provided a compiled knowledge of climate change affecting livestock production, identifies the research gaps and suggests further research opportunities in this sector.\u0000Bangladesh Journal of Animal Science 52 (1): 1-14, March 2023","PeriodicalId":8873,"journal":{"name":"Bangladesh Journal of Animal Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83930048","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}

To improve rangeland vegetation cover and support the rangeland-based livelihoods, it is imperative to repair degraded rangeland using different rehabilitative measures. This study was carried out to evaluate the effects of night cattle corralling impact on soil chemical parameters, herbaceous species compositions and biomass yield of degraded rangeland.  To conduct the experiment, severely degraded (SD) and moderately degraded (MD) rangelands with an area size of 30m x10m (300m2) each was identified. Then, each of the selected rangeland types was separated into two paddocks with an area size of 10m x 15m (150 m2). The treatment paddocks of the severely and moderately degraded rangeland were treated by cattle impact tools corralling cattle every night in the paddock for one month (SDT1 and MDT1). While the second paddock in both rangeland types was used as a control without cattle impact tools (SDT2 and MDT2). A randomized complete block design was used and each treatment was replicated three times. The results showed that soil chemical parameters and herbaceous species compositions in both degraded rangeland paddocks treated with cattle impact tools (SDT1 and MDT1) changed significantly (p<0.05) than paddocks without cattle impact tools (SDT2 and MDT2). Likewise, there was an increased difference (p<0.05) in biomass yields of 2.98 ton/ha and 5.35ton/ha from severely and moderately degraded rangeland, respectively for paddocks treated with cattle impact tools (SDT1 and MDT2), compared to paddocks of biomass yield of 0.98 ton/ha and 2.78 ton/ha without cattle impact tools treatments for SDT2 and MDT2 respectively. Thus the result from this study emphasized the advantage of night cattle corralling impact tools for improved soil parameters and herbaceous species compositions of degraded rangeland. Hence, we concluded that employing cattle impact tools to restore degraded rangeland significantly improved soil physico-chemical properties, with ultimate effect on vegetation cover, vegetation compositions and herbaceous biomass yield, attributed from soil seed bank growth.\u0000Bangladesh Journal of Animal Science 51 (4): 152-162","PeriodicalId":8873,"journal":{"name":"Bangladesh Journal of Animal Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88598193","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}
