Title: Profitable broiler farming at the villages of Khulna district in Bangladesh
Abstract: Data from a total of 49 broiler farmers in the villages of Khulna in Bangladesh were collected to seek suggestions from the farmers to explore the knowledge how to make broiler farming a profitable and sustainable enterprise. Many (40.8%) of the broiler farmers were secondary school certificate holder and took broiler farming as their main occupation (59.2%) and most of them (71.4%) received training in broiler farming. Most of the broiler farms were small in scale of operation and majority of the farmers (73.5%) reported high price of day old chicks at their end. However, 51% farmers informed that Marek’s disease vaccines were administered at hatchery by the day old chick producing company and most of the farmers were using Newcastle Disease and Infectious Bursal Disease Vaccine in their farm. All farmers were brooding their broiler bird for a period of 5 to 7 days and most of them using electric brooder and hurricane lantern was using for standby power supplier in all enumerated broiler farm. Farmer and his family members were the main worker in the operation and all farmers sold their live broiler bird to the traders at their farm gate. Live broiler’s body weight at marketing, feed conversion ratio, day old chick weight, mortality and average daily body weight gain were 1.73 kg, 1.44, 48.39± 0.39 g, 4.64% and 50.39 g, respectively. Feed price per kg, day old chick price per piece and per kg live broiler price were 45.56, 56.90± 0.56 and 127.35± 0.92 Bangladeshi Taka (BDT), respectively. Present study explored the opinion of farmers, which suggested that, providing the broiler farmers with bank loan in a lower rate of interest, making loan easy and available, supplying feed from factory to the farmers directly in credit and stabilizing market price of day old chicks, feed and live broiler at marketing age could make the broiler farming a profitable and sustainable enterprise and which could contribute lot more in rural economy of Bangladesh.

Title: Designing locally fabricated wooden piston valves for a low-cost hand pump
Abstract: Affordable groundwater pumping devices are important aspects of sustainable agricultural growth in Bangladesh. Despite irrigation, pumps are also important for the extraction of safe drinking water in rural areas. This study reports the performance of a newly designed low-cost double-acting reciprocating pump for groundwater irrigation. Instead of traditional leather valves, locally fabricated wooden piston valves (PV) were used in the pump. Four different designs of wooden valves having different open surface area were tested for their performance. The discharge of the pump was found to be very satisfactory (137-160 L/min) at 2m of suction head compared to other similar pumping devices. The pump speed was found to be correlated with the total open surface area of the valve. The coefficient of discharge for all the wooden valves was well over 50% even at higher heads indicating better performance for a reciprocating pump. The overall efficiency of the pump at lower heads ranged around 17-25%, while at higher heads, it ranged around 7-12%. In terms of the design, the PV1 and PV2 was found to have shown better performance indices. These wooden discs were cheap, locally fabricated and hence, would minimize the cost of replacement of the valve if required.

Title: Herbal extract (Ficus racemosa) restores the damages of diabetic pancreas both at gross and cellular levels: an in vivo study in mice
Abstract: An in vivo investigation on the gross and cellular changes of the pancreas of Swiss albino mice treated with Ficus racemosa extract was carried out at the Bioresearch Laboratory, Department of Anatomy and Histology, Faculty of Veterinary Science, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh. Twenty (20) Swiss albino mice (Mus musculus, age: 4-5 weeks, weight 25-28g, purchased from ICDDR,B) were used for this experiment and were grouped (each group has 5 mice) as the control group (C), diabetic control group (DC), glibenclamide treated group (GL) and Ficus racemosa extract treated group (FR) and provided with feed (standard mice pellets purchased from ICDDR,B) and water ad libitum. Diabetes mellitus was induced by single intra-peritoneal injection of freshly prepared solution of alloxan monohydrate (150mg/kg body weight) dissolved in physiological saline in overnight fasted mice. The ethanolic extracts of Ficus racemosa fruit (250mg/kg body weight) was administered orally once daily for 30 days in comparison to a standard antidiabetic drug, glibenclamide (600μg/kg body weight). The uniformity of all the management practices was also maintained. The total experimental tenure was 30 days. At the end of the experiment, mice were ethically sacrificed and necessary samples were collected from the pancreas and were preserved, processed for slide preparation and stained (H & E stain) for histo-morphological investigation. Pancreas of the normal control group showed no morphological changes, whereas, both the colour and shape were significantly changed in the diabetic control group. The alteration was effectively restored in the standard anti-diabetic drug (glibenclamide) treated group as well as the Ficus racemosa extract treated group. Histologically, necrosis in the islets and focal acinar damages, found in the diabetic pancreas were restored to normal in the Ficus racemosa extract treated groups, and were significantly related to that of the effect produced by standard antidiabetic drug, glibenclamide. Therefore, it is assumed that the Ficus racemosa extract might be used as an anti-diabetic drug or as an adjuvant in the diabetic therapy. Results might aid to explore a frontier, inexpensive, safe and effective anti-diabetic drug in future.

Title: Copacetic herbal extraction techniques and diabetes induction methods for developing countries
Abstract: Extraction is an empirical exercise for the discovery of bioactive constituents from the plant materials. Selection of a suitable extraction technique is also important for the standardization of herbal products and to eliminate unwanted material by treatment with a selective solvent known as “menstrum”. Traditional conventional methods such as maceration, rotary evaporation, soxhelation, percolation, lyophilization, infusion, decoction etc are more cheap and appropriate for developing countries rather than fast and environmentally friendly green extraction techniques like ultrasound assisted solvent extraction, microwave assisted solvent extraction and supercritical fluid extractions for phytochemical processing of medicinal plants. Moreover, plant-derived phytochemicals have established their role for possible use in diabetes treatment which is the world’s largest endocrine disease associated with increased morbidity and mortality rate. Several experimental models are used to study pathophysiological factors involved in diabetes and to assess the efficacy of herbal antihyperglycemic agents. Today different strains of laboratory animals are available and therapeutic studies on diabetes are mostly carried out on these models. In animals, it can be induced by partial pancreatectomy or by the administration of diabetogenic drugs such as alloxan, streptozotocin, ditizona and anti-insulin serum. Hence, the review is aiming to draw attention of the relevant researchers to the convenient use of suitable extraction technique and diabetogenic drugs for developing countries.

Title: Effects of rate and method of urea on the growth and yield of T. Aman rice
Abstract: An experiment was conducted at Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh, during T. Aman 2010 with a view to investigate the effect of rate and method of urea application on the yield and yield components of transplanted aman rice cv. BRRI dhan46. The experiment comprises of two methods of urea application and five rates of urea fertilizer. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with four replications and the data collected on 10 parameters. The results showed that the method of urea application had significant effect on number of total tillers per hill, number of effective tillers per hill, number of grains per panicle, grain yield, straw yield and harvest index. The highest grain yield (4.66 t/ha) was recorded with split application of urea fertilizer. The effect of urea rate had significant influence on most of the plant characters except panicle length and 1000 grains weight. The highest grain yield (5.07 t/ha) was produced in U1 (140 kg urea/ha). The interaction between rate and method of urea application also significantly influenced most of the parameter studied. The highest grain yield (5.15 t/ha)was recorded with the interaction combination of M1U1 (split application of urea @ 140 kg urea/ha).

Title: Correlation and path-coefficient analysis of pummelo
Abstract: The study was conducted at Regional Agricultural Research Station, Akbarpur, Moulvibazar to determine the correlation along with their direct and indirect effects through path coefficient analysis as to estimate the contribution of most important traits towards yield for pummelo. Fruit yield per plant showed highly significant positive correlation with number of fruits per plant (r =0.91) and individual fruit weight (r =0.55). Significant positive relationship were observed between fruit yield per plant and fruit breadth (r =0.38), number of seeds per fruit (r =0.35), weight of seeds per fruit (r =0.38). Highly significant positive relationships were recorded for individual fruit weight and fruit breadth (r =0.8), number of seeds per fruit and weight of seeds per fruit (r =0.83) and also for plant height and canopy spreading at north-south direction (r = 0.51). Number of segments per fruit showed highly significant positive interrelation with number of seeds per fruit (r =0.52) and significant positive relationship with TSS (r =0.39) and weight of seeds per fruit (r =0.38). It was observed that number of fruits per plant had maximum positive direct effect on fruit yield per plant (0.8353) and individual fruit weight showed positive direct effect on fruit yield per plant (0.5027). Fruit breadth exerted negative direct effect (-0.1302) on fruit yield per plant but it had positive significant correlation with fruit yield per plant (r = 0.38). Negative direct effect was mainly counter balanced by individual positive effects of different characters.

Abstract: The study was conducted at Regional Agricultural Research Station, Akbarpur, Moulvibazar to determine the correlation along with their direct and indirect effects through path coefficient analysis as to estimate the contribution of most important traits towards yield for pummelo. Fruit yield per plant showed highly significant positive correlation with number of fruits per plant (r =0.91) and individual fruit weight (r =0.55). Significant positive relationship were observed between fruit yield per plant and fruit breadth (r =0.38), number of seeds per fruit (r =0.35), weight of seeds per fruit (r =0.38). Highly significant positive relationships were recorded for individual fruit weight and fruit breadth (r =0.8), number of seeds per fruit and weight of seeds per fruit (r =0.83) and also for plant height and canopy spreading at north-south direction (r = 0.51). Number of segments per fruit showed highly significant positive interrelation with number of seeds per fruit (r =0.52) and significant positive relationship with TSS (r =0.39) and weight of seeds per fruit (r =0.38). It was observed that number of fruits per plant had maximum positive direct effect on fruit yield per plant (0.8353) and individual fruit weight showed positive direct effect on fruit yield per plant (0.5027). Fruit breadth exerted negative direct effect (-0.1302) on fruit yield per plant but it had positive significant correlation with fruit yield per plant (r = 0.38). Negative direct effect was mainly counter balanced by individual positive effects of different characters. Correlation andpath coefficient analysis indicated that number of fruits per plant, individual fruit weight and fruit breadth were the most important contributors to fruit yield per plant in pummelo.

Title: Performance and productivity of boro rice varieties cultivated in saline area of Satkhira
Abstract: A field experiment was conducted with Boro rice (cv. Binadhan-10 and BRRIdhan 28) at Kaligonj, Satkhira to evaluate performance of two rice varieties under different nutrient management practices in a saline soil. The rice varieties, such as BRRI dhan28 and Binadhan 10 were tested under 3 levels of nutrients (T1= Recommended dose of N, P, K, S, Zn, T2 = T1 + additional Gypsum @ 125 Kg ha-1 and T3 = T1 + additional Gypsum @ 190 Kg ha-1) and the treatments were assigned in a split plot arrangement with 3 replications. The study revealed that different rice varieties and nutrient levels along with their interaction have significant effect on growth and yield of rice. Effect of varieties found highest for grain (6.38 t ha-1) and straw (6.60 t ha-1) yield in case of Binadhan-10 and considering the mean effect of different nutrient level is insignificant for both varieties. Due to interaction effect of both variety and nutrient levels, the maximum grain yield was found as 6.61 t ha-1 under the treatment combination V2T2 i.e. Binadhan-10 along with recommended dose of N, P, K, S and Zn with 125 kg gypsum ha-1. Between these two varieties Binadhan-10 showed better performance compared to BRRI dhan28 at saline condition.

Title: Impact of age and gender of camels (Camelus dromedarius) and their breeders on the prevalence of Balantidium Coli
Abstract: The present work could represent the first report of parasitic infections with Balantidium Coli in camel and their breeders in Iraq. Results showed highestimations of prevalence in camels (50%) and their breeders (40%). The differencesbetween infection rates due to gender was not significant (P=0.055) in camels whereas, the differences in infection rateswas significant (P=0.04) due to gender . On the other hand, the differences in the infection rate of were significant due to age (P=0.04) and due to age (P=0.04) in camels breeders. The difference in the prevalence between camels and males breeders was not significant (P=0.61) and this could be considered as an evidence of the associated infection. Hence, it is very imperative to adopt a regular test for camels and their breeders and using deworming for camels to prevent the risk of its zoonotic potentials on public health particularly in Najaf province as it consistsof the largest population of camels in Iraq.

Title: Comparative effect of gamma and X-ray irradiations on some characters of rice seedlings of Ashfal and Binadhan-14
Abstract: To start a mutation breeding program, it is a prerequisite to determine the effective irradiation dose rate. In this study two rice genotypes (landrace Ashfal and improved mutant variety Binadhan-14) were exposed to gamma and X-ray irradiations compare their sensitivity and to determine the effective radiation dose for mutation induction. It was found that germination percentage, seedling height and plant survival percentage decreased with the gradual increase of dose rate both in gamma and X-ray irradiation. For Ashfal, LD50 and LD30 were 241 Gy & 153 Gy in case of gamma ray and 215 Gy & 118 Gy in case of X-ray. In case of Binadhan-14 these values were 353 Gy & 254 Gy for gamma ray and 346 Gy & 242 Gy for X-ray. On the tested genotypes LD50 and LD30 were higher in gamma ray than X-ray that means a lower dose of X-ray compared to gamma ray is required to achieve same relative biological effects (RBE). These ranges of LD50 and LD30 values could be useful in varietal improvement program for the tested genotypes.

Title: Effect of organic acids and essential oils on growth performance of commercial broiler in Bangladesh
Abstract: A total of 990 Cobb 500 straight run day old chicks were housed on March 18, 2016 and reared up to April 1, 2016 to examine the effect of organic acids and essential oils on growth performances and health status at a village farm in Companigonj upazila under the district of Noakhali in Bangladesh. Body weight at 7 days of age and at 14 days of age were significantly higher for feed type two (159.99±0.16 g and 442.22±0.38 g, respectively). Average daily body weight gain at 8 to 14 days of age in feed type one was higher (41.09±0.03 g/d/b) than feed type two but higher feed conversion was recorded with feed type two (1.141) for the broiler birds of 14 days old. This study demonstrated that organic acids and essential oils supplementation in the broiler ration (feed type two) might help to increase the body weight and decrease mortality rate up to age of 14 days. It also revealed that feed to meat conversion might be increased through organic acids and essential oils supplementation. But to learn about the individual effect of organic acids preparation or essential oils preparations further study designing two feed types with similar nutrition in which one will be supplemented with organic acids and the other one with essential oils supplementation would be worthwhile.
