2024-03-21T11:10:16+00:00

This investigation was place from 1/10/2022 to 31/1/2023 in the College of Agriculture / University of Basra / Karma Ali animal field. Five Orabih rams with similar weights and ages of 2.5 to 3 years were bred for the research. Fortwo weeks, the animals were taught to collect semen using the Kabash's fake vagina and given a 2 kilogram diet with two meals each day. Semen was collected three times a month after training, and rams' sperm was added taurine organic acid (zero, 2, 4.6 mmol) and stored in a cryosafe at 5 º for up to 48 hours. A computer analyzed all diluted and chilled semen properties.

Results of the study:T2 treatment significantly outperformed other coefficients in individual movement, sperm concentration, and percentage of live sperm in refrigerated semen (P<0.05). Cryostorage zero (hour) significantly outperformed other periods in pH values, individual movement, and sperm concentration, and exceeded 24 hours (P<0.05). T2 treatment significantly outperformed (P<0.05) other coefficients in pH, individual sperm motility, and live sperm percentage at zero hour, while T2 recorded the highest sperm concentration in refrigerated semen at 24 hours (P<0.05).

2: The control and T6 coefficients had the highest percentagesof dead sperm (P<0.05) compared to other transactions, with the 72-hour cold storage period having the highest moral percentages (P<0.05). The T6 treatment and 72-hour storage period also had the highest moral percentages (P<0.05) in the percentage of dead sperm.

T2 transaction significantly outperformed (p<0.05) the straight linear velocity VSL and linearity of the path LIN of sperm, and the duration of cold storage zero (hour) significantly outperformed 72, 48, and 24 hours in VSL and LIN ratios for sperm. T2 transaction at cold storage zero (hour) significantly outperformed VSL and LIN ratios of spe

Unveiling Makahiya Plant (Mimosa Pudica) Tea: A Natural Approach to Easing Dysmenorrhea Discomfort through Natural Process of Flouration

2024-04-01T05:38:59+00:00

Dysmenorrhea, or painful menstrual cramps, is one of the most frequent gynecological illnesses. Several factors influence the expression of this biological event, including diet, lifestyle, cultural expectations and behaviors, and individual constitutions (Omani Samani et al., 2018). Mimosa Pudica is commonly utilized to treat dysmenorrhea and is often made via decoction, according to ethnobotanical research (Magtalas M. et al, 2023). The present study used phytochemical analysis to pinpoint vital compounds in Mimosa Pudica that aid in alleviating dysmenorrhea discomfort. The researchers also interviewed 15 participants who consume Mimosa Pudica tea during their menstrual cycle. The phytochemical analysis of Makahiya (Mimosa Pudica) has unveiled steroids, flavonoids, saponins, and tannins. These substances discovered through phytochemical analysis suggest that Makahiya (Mimosa Pudica) has therapeutic properties and can be used in easing dysmenorrhea. The researchers conclude that Mimosa Pudica tea can be used as an alternative treatment for dysmenorrhea providing more options to women who are suffering from this issue.

Assessment of Chemical and Bacterial Pollution in Soil Samples from Industrial Areas of Elbasan, Albania

2024-03-22T05:07:48+00:00

This study investigates soil pollution in the industrial zones of Elbasan, Albania, focusing on chemical contamination, particularly heavy metals, and bacterial pollutants. Groundwater and soil samples were collected during August-September 2023 to assess the extent of pollution in areas dominated by light and heavy industries. For the first time, comprehensive data on soil pollution, are presented for the analysed period. The findings underscore the significant impact of industrial activities on soil quality and highlight the urgent need for environmental remediation measures.

Elbasan city has long grappled with environmental pollution, particularly from industrial activities. Soil pollution, driven by chemical contaminants and bacterial agents, poses serious health risks to residents and ecosystems.

Sampling sites were selected based on the presence of light and heavy industries, which are known contributors to soil pollution. Chemical analysis involved quantifying heavy metal concentrations, including Nickel (Ni), using state-of-the-art techniques such as atomic absorption spectroscopy. Bacterial contamination was assessed through microbial culture and enumeration methods. Nickel concentrations exceeded EU regulatory standards by more than threefold, indicating severe contamination.

The high levels of chemical pollution observed in Elbasan's soil underscore the environmental degradation caused by industrial activities. Collaboration between governmental agencies, industries, and local communities is imperative to address soil pollution effectively and safeguard environmental sustainability. The study highlights the pervasive nature of soil pollution in Elbasan's industrial areas, posing significant health risks. Urgent action is required to mitigate pollution sources, improve wastewater management practices, and enforce environmental regulations. Addressing soil pollution is essential to protect public health, preserve ecosystems, and promote sustainable development in the region.

Assessing Essential Parameters for Soil Fertility in Remote Agricultural Areas of PDUAM, Dalgaon, Darrang, Assam

2024-03-22T05:26:14+00:00

Soil is the upper layer of the earth’s surface, consisting of a mixture of organic matter, clay, and rock particles, and it serves as the medium in which plants grow. The quality of soil plays a crucial role in agricultural activities and is vital for ensuring the safety of agricultural products. This study focuses on the assessment of soil properties within various remote areas of Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya Adarsha Mahavidyalaya (PDUAM) located in Dalgaon, Darrang, Assam. The investigation seeks to comprehensively evaluate some of the key soil characteristics, including pH levels, electrical conductivity (EC), and some of the important ions present in the soil matrix using basic chemical laboratory experiments. By undertaking this detailed analysis, the aim is to gain an understanding of the soil fertility in these remote regions, where extensive agricultural practices are carried out. The study reveals that more than 80% of the soil samples have required pH within the fertile range. The observed conductivity value indicates the presence of sufficient soluble ions. Recognizing the pivotal role of soil in sustaining agricultural ecosystems, this study contributes to the broader discourse on optimizing agricultural practices. The findings from the assessment will not only enhance knowledge on soil health but also shall offer valuable insights for agricultural stakeholders in this area.

Growing Plants in Water through Hydroponic System

2024-03-22T05:42:33+00:00

This study investigates the feasibility of utilizing saline water as a nutrient solution in hydroponic systems to grow salt-tolerant plants. We evaluate crop production, nutrient uptake, and plant growth using a range of hydroponic techniques, such as aeroponics, deep water culture, and nutrient film, in comparison to conventional soil-based procedures. While examining the effects of different salinity levels on plant physiology, the study focuses on optimizing important characteristics in the hydroponic solution, such as pH, electrical conductivity, and nutrient concentration. According to preliminary research, some salt-tolerant plant species grow and adapt better in hydroponic systems, which presents a viable method for saline-tolerant sustainable agriculture. This study adds important knowledge for creating effective and sustainable solutions to problems with food production in areas where soil salinity is a problem.
