The present study was done to evaluate the pharmacokinetic parameters of ciprofloxacin following single dose of oral and i.v route of administration and estimating the residual level and withdrawal period. The safety evaluation on liver and kidney following multiple doses of ciprofloxacin orally in dual purpose chicken was done. The study was conducted in thirty day old Indian Rock-3 birds (n=210), a dual purpose chicken strain of White Plymouth Rock developed by Veterinary College, Bengaluru. Liquid Chromatography-tandem Mass Spectrometry, which provides superior specificity and sensitivity...

Nerium oleander is a plant that is commonly seen in gardens and public spaces. N. oleander was originally found in subtropical Asia, but it is now spread all over the world, including the United States, Australia, China, and Middle Eastern nations. It is also an attractive plant that is popular in tropical and subtropical climates and is becoming more frequent in temperate regions. Poisoning from oleander can occur in both animals and humans. Poisoning in animals is documented on an infrequent basis, particularly as a result of the consumption of poisonous cardiac glycoside-containing leaves...

The present study was conducted to evaluate pharmacological and toxicological properties of the P. reticulatus plant extract. The anti-inflammatory, analgesic and toxicological properties including acute oral and repeated dose 28 day oral toxicity of methanol extract was evaluated in Wistar albino rats.The physical nature of the methanol extract of P. reticulatus leaves (MEPRL) revealed the acidic pH, semi-solid and sticky consistency after extracting with the solvent methanol. The preliminary phytochemical analysis of MEPRL revealed the presence of various phytoconstituents like...

The study was taken up to evaluate the pharmacological and toxicological property of Phaseolus lunatus (P. lunatus) plant. Phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of carbohydrates, proteins, saponins, alkaloids, flavonoids and phenolic compounds. The study was conducted to evaluate the in vivo anti-inflammatory property of the plant extract using carrageenan induced paw oedema and the extract at the doses of 400 and 600 mg/kg is having significant anti-inflammatory activity. In vivo analgesic activity was conducted by using acetic acid induced writhings as peripheral pain model and the...

Drug repurposing and repositioning is a process of identifying new therapeutic use (s) for the available and existing older drugs. Therapeutically, this has become a popular and effective strategy in recent years, in discovering or developing drug molecules with new pharmacological action and therapeutic indications. The drug repurposing strategy is efficient, economical and less time consuming and is thought to be an effective alternative approach to traditional drug discovery process. With the discovery of novel biological targets, the drug repositioning would maximize the success rate of...

A study was undertaken for the reproductive parameters of Malnad Gidda in its native tract to assess the response of repeat breeding Malnad Gidda cows to oestrus synchronization.Various reproductive and productive parameters of Malnad Gidda cows were studied in three taluks of Shivamogga district Tirthahalli, Sagar and Hosanagar. The parameters like age at puberty of 25.15±0.29 months, age at first calving of 39.32±2.99 months, dry period of 6.22±1.26 months, calving interval of 13.68±2.55 months, gestation period of 282.14±9.03 days, service period of 136.73±10.03 days, lactation...
