An eight-week feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary supplementation with glycerol monolaurate (GML) on Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei). A basal diet was formulated containing 100 g fish meal, while four additional GML-supplemented diets were prepared: GML1 (0.25 g), GML2 (0.50 g), GML3 (0.75 g), and GML4 (1.00 g). Each diet was given to triplicate tanks containing 50 shrimp, each weighing 1.67 ± 0.25 g. GML2 supplementation enhanced the final body weight, weight gain, condition factor, specific growth rate, and viscerosomatic index of the shrimp compared to the other diets (p

Impact of urea-molasses treated wheat straw levels in total mixed rations on growth and nutrient digestibility in Azikheli buffalo calves - Haroon Ur Rashid; Taimoor Khan; Anwar Ali Turi; Muhammad Abbas; Kalim Ullah; Isa Fusaro; Giovanni Buonaiuto; Damiano Cavallini (Tropical Animal Health and Production, 2025)
This study investigates the impact of urea molasses-treated wheat straw on growth performance and nutrient digestibility in Azikheli buffalo male calves. A longitudinal experiment was conducted on sixteen calves, randomly assigned to four experimental dietary treatments ( n = 4 per group). The experimental diets included a control group (U0) with untreated wheat straw and three groups where urea molasses-treated wheat straw replaced 33% (U33), 66% (U66), or 100% (U100) of the straw in the total mixed ration. Results indicated that increasing the proportion of urea-treated wheat straw from 0 to 100% led to significant improvements in dry matter intake (from 2931 to 4034 g/day) and organic matter intake (from 2596 to 3623 g/day). Digestibility of dry matter, organic matter, crude protein, and crude fiber also followed an increasing trend, reaching 77.42%, 81.21%, 87.10%, and 60.22%, respectively, at the highest urea-treated wheat straw level. Furthermore, weight gain was significantly greater in calves fed 100% urea-treated wheat straw, followed by those in the U66, U33, and U0 groups. Feed conversion efficiency improved substantially in the U100 and U66 groups than U33 and U0. These findings suggest that incorporating higher levels of UMTWS in total mixed rations enhances nutrient digestibility, promoting superior growth performance and feed efficiency in Azikheli buffalo calves.

J. Wiesen; Malaz Gazzaz; Chunli Chen; Sören Büsker; et al. (European Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, 2024)
Purpose Currently, body weight-based dosing of rifampicin is recommended. But lately, fat-free mass (FFM) was reported to be superior to body weight (BW). The present evaluation aimed to assess the influence of body mass-related covariates on rifampicin’s pharmacokinetics (PK) parameters in more detail using non-linear mixed effects modeling (NLMEM). Methods Twenty-four healthy Caucasian volunteers were enrolled in a bioequivalence study, each receiving a test and a reference tablet of 600 mg of rifampicin separated by a wash-out period of at least 9 days. Monolix version 2023R1 was used for NLMEM. Monte Carlo simulations (MCS) were performed to visualize the relationship of body size descriptors to the exposure to rifampicin. Results A one-compartment model with nonlinear (Michaelis–Menten) elimination and zero-order absorption kinetics with a lag time best described the data. The covariate model including fat-free mass (FFM) on volume of distribution (V/F) and on maximum elimination rate (Vmax/F) lowered the objective function value (OFV) by 56.4. The second-best covariate model of sex on V/F and Vmax/F and BW on V/F reduced the OFV by 51.2. The decrease in unexplained inter-individual variability on Vmax/F in both covariate models was similar. For a given dose, MCS showed lower exposure to rifampicin with higher FFM and accordingly in males compared to females with the same BW and body height. Conclusion Our results indicate that beyond BW, body composition as reflected by FFM could also be relevant for optimized dosing of rifampicin. This assumption needs to be studied further in patients treated with rifampicin.

Zinc solubilizing bacteria synergize the effect of zinc sulfate on growth, yield and grain zinc content of rice (Oryza sativa) - Muhammad Shakeel; Fauzia Yusuf Hafeez; Imran Riaz Malik; Abdur Rauf; Farooq Jan; Ikramullah Khan; Iram Ijaz; Mohamed Farouk Elsadek; Muhammad Ajmal Ali; Kamran Rashid; Muhammad Muzammal; Muhammad Munir; et al. (Cereal Research Communications, 2024)
Zinc solubilizing bacteria inhabiting root endosphere possesses great potential to enhance plant yield by solubilizing the nutrients. The potential of Zn solubilizing bacteria Bacillus sp. SH-10 and Bacillus cereus SH-17 to improve yield and grain zinc content of rice was investigated under different regimes of individual and co-inoculation in the presence and absence of chemical fertilizer zinc sulfate (ZnSO 4 ). The strains were applied to the rice varieties basmati 385 and super basmati under field conditions for two consecutive years. A significantly improved growth of rice plants, such as plant height (102–118 cm), number of tillers per plant (8.5–11.5), chlorophyll content (29.5–35.1), zinc requiring enzymes, i.e., superoxide dismutase (396–570 per gram fresh weight (g −1 FW)), carbonic anhydrase activity (CA) (10–15.06 U g −1 FW) and grain yield (3.0–3.8 tons ha −1 ), was observed in the plants inoculated with Bacillus sp. in the presence of chemical fertilizer (ZnSO 4 ). Consortium of zinc solubilizing bacteria also caused higher grain Zn content (25.0–30.5 mg kg −1 ) of the rice varieties basmati 385 and super basmati as compared to that of un-inoculated plants. Hence, it can be concluded that Zn solubilizing bacteria has immense potential to be used as agricultural crop inoculants as they synergize the effect of chemical Zn, increase yield and improve the nutritional value of crops.

Background and aims Global wheat production is under threat due to climate change, specifically heat and drought and their combination. This study aims to address the root trait responses of heat-tolerant wheat genotypes to drought. Methods The variability in root traits of CIMMYT wheat lines, which were previously developed for heat stress tolerance (HTWL), was evaluated alongside 10 Pakistani-approved varieties under three cultivation conditions and soil moisture levels. Results Our findings revealed that the plasticity of the wheat root system is highly pronounced, with rhizosphere conditions exerting a more substantial influence (5–49%) than the genotypic response (1–14%). Furthermore, in the hydroponic and pot system, we noted higher maximum-root length (1.5–1.8 fold) and root-to-shoot ratio (3.4–10.6 fold) as compared to field condition, while the root biomass was substantially higher in the field trial (3-57 fold). Nonetheless, persistent drought conditions exerted contrasting impact with reduction in most of the traits except specific root length and harvest index which were increased under drought. Conclusions The variation in root traits against drought indicates the potential for the development of improved genotypes that can withstand multiple stresses. Furthermore, it is crucial to consider rhizosphere conditions when selecting genotypes, as the plasticity of wheat roots may lead to misinterpretations if rhizosphere conditions are disregarded. Root dry weight and root-to-shoot ratio are more stable traits as compared to maximum root length and specific root length. It is recommended to evaluate a broader range of rhizosphere conditions to select tolerant genotypes.
