Sahiwal cows ( n = 12 ) in early lactation were used to investigate effects of adding fibrolytic enzymes produced from fungus Humicola insolens on their milk production and weight gain. Cows were randomly assigned to two treatments: control and enzyme added to concentrate. The enzyme used was a blend that contained high xylanase and low cellulase activities. The crude enzyme from H. insolens was produced under inducing conditions in a 100 L bioreactor and used for feed applications. The results of present study showed that there was significant increase in weight gain of all the enzyme...

Ovine theileriosis is an important tick-borne disease of sheep in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world, caused by Theileria hirci (T. lestoquardi). The disease is economically important in small ruminants, particularly in sheep, causing clinical illness and mortalities in Middle East, west Asia, Indian subcontinent, parts of Africa and Mediterranean Basin. The present study was done to determine the infection rate of theileriosis in Lohi sheep and to investigate an economical and effective remedy for this protozoal problem. Another object was to study the effect of this disease...
