Three hundred day old chicks were divided into three feeding methods i.e., continuous feeding (CF, 24 hours feeding), intermittent feeding (IF, 1 hour feed and 3 hours off) and feed withdrawal (FW, no feed from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm). Birds were fed a ration either without supplemented fat or with 3% supplemented fat. Temperature inside the experimental room ranges from 28.82-34.99 C, whereas, the relative humidity ranged from 62.32-82.54% during the experimental period. Birds kept under IF feeding system showed significantly lower weight gain, feed consumption, water consumption and better feed...

Lactating Nili-Ravi Buffaloes were injected rbST (500 mg/16 day) to observe effect on milk production, composition, physiological profile, minerals of serum, milk and mammary health biomarkers. Respiration rate was significantly high after day 1 of first injection and low during days 24, 28 and 32 of second injection irrespective of their groups. Overall mean ESR, neutrophils percent decreased and lymphocytes percent increased significantly in bST treated as compared to control buffaloes. The overall increase in milk production was 9.31% from bST treated buffaloes. Overall mean milk lactose...

Forty (40) age matched individuals of male and female, young and old were selected as normal and obese on the basis of their body mass index (BMI). A significant increase in concentration of serum glucose, cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL, albumin, ALT, AST, total oxidant status, MDA and Hcy and a significant decrease in concentration of HDL, total proteins, globulins and antioxidant status (AOS) were observed in obese as compared to normal individuals. Sodium, potassium, magnesium and manganese concentration were significantly high and calcium, CU, Zn and Fe concentration did...

Diarrhea a leading cause of illness and death in children in developing countries may lead to the cause of dehydration resulting from loss of water and electrolytes and lack of absorption of nutrients due to inflammatory bowel. A total of forty (40) blood samples were collected from normal and diarrheal children from Allied and Civil Hospital, Faisalabad belong to middle socio-economic class. Blood samples were collected with and without anticoagulant from each individual for separation of serum which was presented at -2 C. Serum biochemicals, hormones and health markers were estimated in...

Heavy metal residual concentrations of cadmium, chromium, nickel, lead, arsenic and mercury in the milk and meat (muscles and organs) have been determined in cattle and goat in two areas, each consisted of three sites, along the main sewerage drains of Faisalabad city. During present investigations the range of most heavy metal residues (mg/L) in milk of cattle and goat have been found higher than their corresponding reported values. Similar trends were observed in meat (muscles and organs) of cattle and goat. The most values of heavy metal residues have been found higher: in goat than in...
