Food aroma is a sensory property produced by the interaction between chemical compounds and sensory receptors and, particularly, cheese aroma consumer perception is one of the foremost criteria for its preference and acceptance. Head-space solid phase microextraction gas chromatography (HS-SPME/GC) is commonly used for qualitative and quantitative analysis of volatile compounds..... ReadMore -

Based on multi-variable calculations, it was established that the light-trap catch of the examined 7 caddisfly species is primarily influenced by the Sun, out of the 27 environmental factors taken into account. The Moon and the weather also have a smaller but significant influence. The influence of other factors is less important than these ones...... ReadMore -

When exposed to climate changes, dairy cows end up having several physiological changes influenced by environmental factors (radiation, temperature, relative humidity, and wind speed) and by means of thermoregulation (conduction, convection, and evaporation). These changes are visible in various organs and cells, but oocytes and embryos are more vulnerable to thermal stress, in this case, caused by high temperatures and humidity, which may even reduce fertility rates. Changes in climate can also directly affect the duration and regularity of the estrous cycle and the spread of diseases and infections that negatively affect animals, not least directly affecting the availability of forages and grains. Under these conditions, the Zebu breeds are predominant because they have greater resistance to heat. Understanding the problems caused..... ReadMore -

Cottonseed cake contains a toxic substance gossypol. Presently cottonseed cake is widely used as a rich protein supplement to feed livestock extensively by ignoring toxicity risk. The current study is planned to observe toxic effect of feeding cottonseed cake on hematological, biochemical and histological changes in liver and testes in male rabbits. Administration of different levels of cotton seed cake (0%,10%,15%) for eight weeks induced non- significant changes in red blood cell, count (RBCs), white blood cell count (WBCs), hemoglobin (Hb), packed cell volume (PCV and platelet count (Plt). Likewise, serum transaminases alanine aminotransferase(ALT) and , aspartate aminotransferase(AST) have shown non-significant changes but serum testosterone was significantly decreased., Histopathology of liver and testes revealed non- significa.....
