TL;DR: The best level of the silage surplus banana use was 16 kg with a higher weight gain and milk production in the animals supplemented with this level as it has shown production efficiency improving considerably the economic yields.
Abstract: At the Mirador farm of the Patricia Pilar Parish km 41 on the way Santo Domingo Quevedo, located in the Buena Fe Canton, Los Rios Province, three levels of silo banana were evaluated in 5-7-yr crossbred Sahiwal cows at the second third of lactation (8, 12, and 16 kg/animal/day) compared to a control treatment (forage feeding) through a completely at random block design (DBCA) and evaluating different productive features over the120 days of the investigation. Statistical differences (P<0.05) between the different evaluated treatments were established, showing that the best level of the silage surplus banana use was 16 kg with a higher weight gain and milk production in the animals supplemented with this level with 18.50 kg weight and 13.54 l milk/cow/day production. On the other hand the lowest productive response was obtained in the control group with a weight gain of 14.75 kg and 8.28 l milk/cow/day production. The benefit-cost index was higher upon using 16 kg silage surplus banana reaching an index of 1.12 USD while in the control group an index of only 1.10 USD was determined. This is why it is recommended to use 16 kg/animal/day silage surplus banana as it has shown production efficiency improving considerably the economic yields. LISTA DE CUADROS No. Pag. 1.

TL;DR: Methanol extract of the stem bark of P. marsupium possesses significant hepatoprotective activity, and the toxic effect of CCl4 was controlled significantly by restoration of the levels of serum bilirubin, protein and enzymes as compared to the normal and the standard drug silymarin-treated groups.
Abstract: OBJECTIVE : To evaluate the hepatoprotective activity of Pterocarpus marsupium stem bark extracts against carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced hepatotoxicity. MATERIALS AND METHODS : Hepatotoxicity was induced in male Wistar rats by intraperitoneal injection of CCl4 (0.1 ml/kg/day for 10 days). Methanol and aqueous extracts of P. marsupium stem bark were administered to the experimental rats (25 mg/kg/day, p.o. for 14 days). The hepatoprotective effect of these extracts was evaluated by the assay of liver function biochemical parameters (total bilirubin, serum protein, alanine aminotransaminase, aspartate aminotransaminase, and alkaline phosphatase activities) and histopathological studies of the liver. RESULTS : In methanol extract-treated animals, the toxic effect of CCl4 was controlled significantly by restoration of the levels of serum bilirubin, protein and enzymes as compared to the normal and the standard drug silymarin-treated groups. Histology of the liver sections of the animals treated with the extracts showed the presence of normal hepatic cords, absence of necrosis and fatty infiltration, which further evidenced the hepatoprotective activity. CONCLUSION : Methanol extract of the stem bark of P. marsupium possesses significant hepatoprotective activity.
