Prevalence of Eimeria bovis in cattles of Cholistan desert, Pakistan
Protozoan parasites are responsible for a number of diseases in livestock thus affecting a country economy. The coccidiosis is very common parasitic disease in livestock of Pakistan especially in desert animals. A valid procedure was used to detect E. bovisin fecal samples of cholistanicow. PCR reaction was performed using species specific primer for amplification of […]
Evaluation of plant diversity of the steppe interface, Sahara (Case of Brezina, El-Bayadh Algeria Southwest)
The present work was carried out at the level of the steppe region of Brezina in the Algerian South-west, the objective of this study were the assessment and the description of the state of the ground vegetation based on the plant ecology. Floristic inventory counts more than 60 taxa, divided into 21 families usually returns […]
Evaluation of antibacterial activity of three flower colours Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat. against multi-drug resistant human pathogenic bacteria
The present investigation was carried out to evaluate the anitibacterial activity of flower extracts of three colours (pink, yellow and white) of Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat. against five Gram positive bacteria viz., Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, Streptococcus-β-haemolytica, Bacillus subtilis, Sarcina lutea and five Gram negative bacteria viz., Klebsiella sp, Klebsiella pneumonia, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella typhi, Shigella […]
Forest degradation: An assessment of Gedo Forest, West Shewa, Oromia Regional State, Ethiopia
The level of forest degradation was determined in Gedo Forest, one of the remaining Dry Evergreen Montane Forests in Ethiopia using line transects from East to West surrounding mountain escarpments locating 60 quadrats. Indicators of forest degradation eg. canopy cover, cover of forest floor, degree of damage by human activities, damage by grazing and browsing, […]
Development of allometric equation for biomass estimation of Cedrus deodara in dry temperate forests of Northern Pakistan
The accuracy of biomass estimates depends on the availability of reliable allometric models to infer biomass of trees from forest inventory data. The current study was undertaken to develop local allomteric equation and biomass expansion factor for Cedrus deodara. Data was collected from 32 sample trees which were felled and measured for the study in […]
Optimization of an efficient SDS-PAGE protocol for rapid protein analysis of Brassica rapa
SDS-PAGE plays a key role in the study of protein based variation among different brassica species. The present study aimed to develop an efficient Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate Poly Acrylamide Gel Electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) protocol for B. rapa. Ten diverse genotypes were used to study their electrophoretic protein profiling. A thoroughly precise protocol was developed for optimizing […]
Study of naturally sourced bacteria with antifungal activities
The study was carried out with the aim of sourcing for bacteria from the natural environment having antifungal capabilities to control and inhibit postharvest fungal spoilage of fruits and vegetables caused by Botrytis cinerea. Soil and water samples were collected from Heriot Watt University environment and Dr Ruth Fowler’s garden and inoculated using the spread […]
Effect of feeding Prosopis cineraria leaves on methanogens, rumen fermentation, growth performance, blood biochemical constitute and nutrient utilization, in rumen content of Lambs and Kids
This study was designed to investigate the effect of feeding Prosopis cineraria leaves with lamb ration on methanogens, growth performance, nutrient utilization, rumen fermentation and microbial hydrolytic enzymes status during pre weaning phase of Lambs and kids and they allowed suckling twice daily until 90 days of age, concentrate and forage were provided ad libitum. […]
Deterended correspondence analysis of vegetation in district tor ghar, Westrn Himalaya
District Tor Ghar is phytosocilogically unexplored region in the western Himalaya. Field survey was carried out during the summers of 2012 and 2013 to study floristic diversity in the region. The vegetation data collected from whole district was analyzed using DECORANA, computer programs. Species abundance data were used in CANOCO version 4.5 for DCA. Deterended […]
Implications in the rehabilitation of degraded watershed and rangeland in Hazara regions of Pakistan
Hazara region is located in the north of Khyber pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Hazara region is one of the most important areas with respect to watershed and rangeland resources. The watershed and rangeland of the upper area of the region are being cleared for cultivation, grazing, fodder, fuel wood, and timber. Removal of vegetation on steep slopes […]
