TL;DR: The intestinal damage had improved significantly in the experiment groups that received different reference drugs which is comparable with sulfasalazine treated group, and the experimental observations, gross pathology of intestinal lesions and statistical analysis reveals no significant difference among the different reference drug treated groups.
Abstract: Crohn's disease and Ulcerative colitis were chronic inflammatory disorders of the bowel categorized as inflammatory bowel diseases. Trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced colitis was one of the most common methods for studying inflammatory bowel disease in animal models. Several factors may, however, affect its reproducibility, rate of animal mortality, and macroscopic and histopathological outcomes.The current study was undertaken with the objective to validate the main contributing factors to this method and compare the effects of different reference drugs upon better amelioration of trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (TNBS) induced colitis. With the above objectives, ulcerative colitis was induced by intrarectal administration of TNBS in male Wistar rats at a dose rate of 20 mg in 0.5 mL of ethanol per animal for all groups except the negative control group, which received 0.5 mL of normal saline. Different reference drugs like dexamethasone (1 mg/kg, intraperitoneally (i.p.) and 2 mg/kg, orally (p.o.)), hydrocortisone acetate (20 mg/kg, i.p.; 20 mg/kg, enema) and sulfasalazine 500mg/kg ,p.o.were administered daily once from Day 3 to 9 except the negative and positive controls which received normal saline at the rate of 10 mL/kg body weight. All the animals were sacrificed on Day 10; the colons were excised and the colon morphology and net weight of the colon segment were graded and measured, respectively. The intestinal damage had improved significantly in the experiment groups that received different reference drugs which is comparable with sulfasalazine treated group. The experimental observations, gross pathology of intestinal lesions and statistical analysis reveals no significant difference among the different reference drugs treated groups.

TL;DR: The study showed that diseases can be controlled and income could be improved if inputs and credit are provided in the areas of concern and the after effects of the study resulted in improved managemental practices which caused remarkable development.
Abstract: 3 Abstract: A study was conducted to examine the effect of Aga Khan Rural Support Program on huma n resource development particularly on livestock management in district Chitral. Study was conducted in three- community organizations in village Charun, Tehsil Mastu, Chitral. A total 120 respondents were randomly selected for interview, 98 beneficiaries and 22 non-beneficia ries. Almost 100% respondents were landowners, cultivating a land of about two kanal and were satisfied with training component of AKRSP , about 47% were literate. The enrolled respondents were 50.2% of the age 33-45 years and 30.1% of the age 46-58 years. Farming was main occupation of 64% beneficiaries, 29% adopted as secondary occupation and 8% having not even the secondary occupation. The rest were engaged in other services like business, labor etc., while majority having annual income ranging from RS. 34600 to 45600. About 45% respondents applied training information and found it useful. Collectively observed 47% increase in livestock size and 24%-improved breed was used as AKRSP had provided a jersey bull for crossing with local breed. The after effects of the study resulted in improved managemental practices which caused remarkable development like enhanced production and increased income of the beneficiaries i.e. up to 62%, changes in farmin g practice up to 19% and up gradation in occupation of 65% beneficiaries. Besides improvement in the size of livestock holding and milk production, medication and vaccination reduced animal mortality and disease out breaks. The study showed that diseases can be controlled and income could be improved if inputs and credit are provided in the areas of concern.

TL;DR: This study identifies Trichostrongylidae infective larvae in sheep faeces by the quantitative coproculture method and identifies the latter parasite showed higher prevalence values, thus resulting in heavy economical losses and animal mortality due to anemia.
Abstract: TRICHOSTRONGYLIDAE LARVAE IN SHEEP FAECES A great deal of economic losses in animal production, especially sheep, are caused by Trichostrongylidae, mainly Haemonchus sp. and Trichostrongylus sp. parasites. Therefore, this study identifies Trichostrongylidae infective larvae in sheep faeces by the quantitative coproculture method. Various parasitological tests were carried out on 6 animals, such as faecal egg counts (FEC), coproculture, and Famacha. FEC findings revealed that 67% of the sheep presented Trichostrongylidae eggs, and infective larvae were observed in 100% of faecal cultures. A total of 1,861 larvae were counted, of which 44 (2,4%) were Trichostrongylus sp. and 1,816 (97,6%) were Haemonchus sp. The latter parasite showed higher prevalence values, thus resulting in heavy economical losses and animal mortality due to anemia.
TL;DR: In this paper, a cost-effectiveness analysis is done to answer the question "Is the widening of national highway NH 37 through Kaziranga National Park to four lane is economically feasible?" From the cost effectiveness analysis, it is inferred that the environmental impact of the proposed construction is very high and an alternate route through national highwayNH 52 minimizes the cost and is economically more feasible.
Abstract: The paper analyzes the proposal of four laning the national highway NH 37 through Kaziranga National Park under the Special Accelerated Road Development Programme for North-East (SARDP-NE) of the National Highway Authority of India. The four laning of the highway will have a huge environmental impact on the whole Kaziranga - Karbi Anglong landscape. It will increase the barrier effect on the movement of wildlife from Kaziranga to Karbi Anglong foothills during flood. The animal mortality due to barrier effect will increase. The paper uses the technique of calculating the intrinsic value of wild life to calculate the cost of environmental impact due to animal mortality. Then a cost-effectiveness analysis is done to answer the question "Is the widening of national highway NH 37 through Kaziranga National Park to four lane is economically feasible?" From the cost effectiveness analysis it is inferred that the environmental impact of the proposed construction is very high and an alternate route through national highway NH 52 minimizes the cost and is economically more feasible.

TL;DR: In this article, a non-connection model building method for the hypertrophy bone connected with the femoral shaft gristle of a big mouse has been proposed, which has the advantages of being simple in operation, small in damage, low in animal mortality, fitting in non-connections clinical characters of the clinical hypertrophy bone, easy in operation and scientific and reasonable.
Abstract: The invention provides a non-connection model building method for a hypertrophy bone connected with femoral shaft gristle of a big mouse. The method comprises: fixing a support outside the femora of the big mouse; fixing a catagmatic femoral shaft of the big mouse, and obtaining the non-connection model for the hypertrophy bone connected with the femoral shaft gristle of the big mouse. The non-connection model building method for the hypertrophy bone connected with the femoral shaft gristle of the big mouse has the advantages of being simple in operation, small in damage, low in animal mortality, fitting in non-connection clinical characters of the clinical hypertrophy bone, easy in operation, and scientific and reasonable. The non-connection model building method for the hypertrophy bone connected with the femoral shaft gristle of the big mouse has the great significance for the intensive study of the reason of the non-connection development of the hypertrophy bone, and the therapeutic method.
