Sarbani Biswas,De Xin Dang,In Ho Kim 한국축산학회 2024 한국축산학회지 Vol.66 No.1

In this research, the growth efficiency, nutritional utilization, fecal microbial levels, and fecal score of weaned pigs were evaluated using therapeutic zinc oxide (ZnO) and zinc aspartic acid chelate (Zn-Asp). In a 42-day feeding trial, 60 weaned pigs ([Yorkshire × Landrace] × Duroc) were arbitrarily allotted (age: 21 days; 7.01 ± 0.65 kg preliminary body weight) to 3 different treatment groups with 5 repetitions (2 male and 2 female piglets) in each pen. The trial had 2 different phases, including 1–21 days as phase 1, and 22–42 days as phase 2. The nutritional treatments were: basal diet as control (CON), basal diet incorporated with 3,000 ppm ZnO as TRT1, and basal diet incorporated with 750 ppm Zn-Asp as TRT2. In comparison to the CON group, the pigs in the TRT1 and TRT2 groups had greater (p < 0.05) body weight on day 42; an average daily gain, and an average daily feed intake on days 22–42. Furthermore, during days 1-42, the average daily gain in the treatment groups trended higher (p < 0.05) than in the CON group. Additionally, the fecal score decreased (p < 0.05) at week 6, the lactic acid bacteria count tended to increase (p < 0.05), and coliform bacteria presented a trend in reduction (p < 0.05) in the TRT1 and TRT2 groups compared to the CON group. However, there was no difference in nutrient utilization (p > 0.05) among the dietary treatments. Briefly, the therapeutic ZnO and Zn-Asp nutritional approaches could decrease fecal score and coliform bacteria, increase lactic acid bacteria, and improve growth efficiency; moreover, Zn- Asp (750 ppm) can perform a comparable role to therapeutic ZnO (3,000 ppm). So we can use Zn-Asp (750 ppm) instead of therapeutic ZnO (3,000 ppm) for the better performance of weaning pigs and the reduction of environmental pollution, as therapeutic ZnO is responsible for environmental pollution.

Determination of garlic extract efficacy on growth, nutrient digestibility, and fecal score of growing pigs via diet supplementation

Sarbani Biswas,김인호 충남대학교 농업과학연구소 2023 Korean Journal of Agricultural Science Vol.50 No.3

Garlic powder (GP) was supplemented in the diet to assess the growth efficiency, nutritional retention, and fecal score of growing pigs. In total, 80 growing pigs ([Yorkshire × Landrace] × Duroc) were arbitrarily allotted (22.04 ± 0.56 kg primary average body weight) to two different trial groups with eight repetitions (three males and two females) in each pen for the 42-day trial. The dietary treatment consisted of control (CON, basal diet), which included 0.2% GP (TRT1). Growing pigs fed the GP diet exhibited an increase (p < 0.05) in body weight on day 42 and a lower (p < 0.05) overall feed conversion ratio compared to the CON pigs; however, the average daily gain and feed intake showed no difference (p > 0.05). Additionally, nutrient utilization of dry matter was greater (p < 0.05) in the GP-supplemented diet group than in the CON group. The feeding methods did not adversely affect the nitrogen and energy utilization and the fecal score significantly (p > 0.05). In summary, growing pigs fed the GP diet showed increased growth and nutritional utilization, and no adverse impact on the fecal score; thus, it could be utilized as a stimulant for improved growth performance.

Weaning pig performance can be enhanced by replacing dietary inorganic copper and zinc with glycine or methionine-chelated copper and zinc

BISWAS SARBANI,당득신,김인호 충남대학교 농업과학연구소 2024 Korean Journal of Agricultural Science Vol.51 No.1

A total of 180 21-day-old weaning pigs ([Yorkshire × Landrace] × Duroc) with an initial body weight of 6.44 ± 0.01 kg were randomly assigned to 9 treatments for evaluating the effects of replacing dietary inorganic copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) with glycine (Gly) or methionine (Met)chelated Cu and Zn on growth performance and nutrient digestibility. The experimental period was 35 days. There were four replicated pens per treatment, with five pigs (three males and two females) per pen. Dietary treatments consisted of a basal diet (CON), in which the sources of Cu and Zn were in inorganic form. The inorganic Cu and Zn in the basal diet were replaced by glycine-chelated (GC) and methionine-chelated (MC) Cu and Zn by 30, 50, 70, or 100% to form the GC1, GC2, GC3, GC4, or MC1, MC2, MC3, MC4 groups. The 100% replacement of dietary inorganic Cu and Zn with GC or MC increased (p < 0.05) average daily gain, average daily feed intake, and gain-to-feed ratio. The complete replacement of dietary inorganic Cu and Zn with GC or MC led to enhanced (p < 0.05) digestibility of dry matter, nitrogen, Cu and Zn. Thus, the replacement of inorganic Cu and Zn with GC or MC can improve the growth efficiency and nutrient utilization of weaning pigs.

Earlier, we reported that the bacteriophage λ P gene product is lethal to Escherichia coli, and the E. coli rpl mutants are resistant to this λP gene-mediated lethality. In this paper, we show that under the λ P gene-mediated lethal condition, the host DNA synthesis is inhibited at the initiation step. The rpl8 mutation maps around the 83 min position in the E. coli chromosome and is 94% linked with the dnaA gene. The rpl8 mutant gene has been cloned in a plasmid. This plasmid clone can protect the wild-type E. coli from λ P gene-mediated killing and complements E. coli dnaAts46 at 42℃. Also, starting with the wild-type dnaA gene in a plasmid, the rpl-like mutations have been isolated by in vitro mutagenesis. DNA sequencing data show that each of the rpl8, rp112 and rp114 mutations has changed a single base in the dnaA gene, which translates into the amino acid changes N313T, Y200N, and S246T respectively within the DnaA protein. These results have led us to conclude that the rpl mutations, which make E. coli resistant to λ P gene-mediated host lethality, are located within the DNA initiator gene dnaA of the host.

Earlier, we reported that the bacteriophage $\lambda$ P gene product is lethal to Escherichia coli, and the E. coli rpl mutants are resistant to this $\lambda$ P gene-mediated lethality. In this paper, we show that under the $\lambda$ P gene-mediated lethal condition, the host DNA synthesis is inhibited at the initiation step. The rpl8 mutation maps around the 83 min position in the E. coli chromosome and is 94% linked with the dnaA gene. The rpl8 mutant gene has been cloned in a plasmid. This plasmid clone can protect the wild-type E. coli from $\lambda$ P gene-mediated killing and complements E. coli dnaAts46 at $42^{\circ}C$. Also, starting with the wild-type dnaA gene in a plasmid, the rpl-like mutations have been isolated by in vitro mutagenesis. DNA sequencing data show that each of the rpl8, rpl12 and rpl14 mutations has changed a single base in the dnaA gene, which translates into the amino acid changes N313T, Y200N, and S246T respectively within the DnaA protein.

Petrological study of the Kaimur Group sediments, Vindhyan Supergroup, Central India: implications for provenance and tectonics

Shinjana Sen,Meenal Mishra,Sarbani Patranabis-Deb 한국지질과학협의회 2014 Geosciences Journal Vol.18 No.3

The Mesoproterozoic Kaimur Group (1.1 Ga) belongsto the upper part of the Vindhyan Supergroup, which overlies thecarbonate-rich sequence of the Semri Group (Lower Vindhyan),conformably in the Son Valley, Central India. The Kaimur Groupconsists predominantly of sandstones. On the basis of the presentstudy they are classified as subarkose, sublitharenite, and quartzarenite in the Quartz (Q)-Feldspar (F)-Rock fragment (R) triangulardiagram. The XRD patterns indicate that illite is the most prominentclay mineral. The Kaimur sequence can be divided into the Lowerand Upper Kaimur Groups. The modal analyses data and the mineralogicalratios [Quartz/Feldspar (Q/F), Quartz/Lithic fragments(Q/L), Monocrystalline Quartz/Polycrystalline Quartz (Qm/Qp),Quartz/(Feldspar + Rock fragment) (Q/(F + R))] suggest that theLower Kaimur Group has a fining upward sequence characterizedby a decrease in textural and compositional maturity. In contrast, the Upper Kaimur terrigenous rocks have a coarsening upwardssequence with an increase in compositional and textural maturity. Monocrystalline Quartz-Feldspars and granite fragments-Lithics plusquartzose varieties (Qm-F-Lt) and total Quartz-Feldspar-Lithics(Qt-F-L) ternary plots, Polycrystalline Quartz-Non-undulose Quartz-Polycrystalline Quartz- Undulose Quartz ((Qp)-Q(nu)-(Qp)-Q(u))diamond diagram and the types of lithic fragments suggest that theLower Kaimur was derived mainly from a craton interior plutonicprovenance (uplifted Bundelkhand craton that lies to the north ofthe basin). The Upper Kaimur terrigenous rocks are dominantlyproduct of a recycled orogen composed of medium- to high-grademetamorphic rocks from the south (Mahakoshal metasedimentsand Chhotanagpur Gneissic Complex (CGC) of the Central IndianTectonic Zone (CITZ)). The Polycrystalline Quartz/(Feldspar + Lithics)(Qp/(F + L)) vs. Quartz total/(Feldspar + Lithics) (Qt/(F + L)) ratiosrepresent the deposition of Kaimur sandstones in the warm humidclimate.

In vivo evaluation of anti-diarrheal activity of the rhizome of Nymphaea alba (Nymphaeaceae)

Bose, Anindya,Sahoo, Moumita,Ray, Sarbani Dey 경희한의학연구센터 2012 Oriental Pharmacy and Experimental Medicine Vol.12 No.2

Ethanol extract of the of rhizome of Nymphaea alba, at graded doses was investigated for anti-diarrhoeal activity in term of reduction in the rate of defecation in castor oil induced diarrhoea and anti-inflammatory activity in term of reduction in inflammation of rat paw. To understand the mechanism of its anti-diarrhoeal activity, its effect was further evaluated on intestinal transit and castor oil induced intestinal fluid accumulation (enteropooling). At various doses (100 & 200 mg/kg body weight) the extract showed a remarkable anti-diarrhoeal activity evidenced by the reduction in the rate of defecation. Results are comparable to that of standard drug diphenoxylate (5 mg/kg body weight). A single oral dose of N. alba extract of 100 mg/kg body weight produced a significant decrease in the severity of diarrhoea. Extract produced profound decrease in intestinal transit (25.73 and 37.29%) also significantly inhibited castor oil induced enteropooling comparable to that of intraperitoneal injection of standard drug atropine sulphate at doses of 0.1 mg/kg body weight and loperamide at 5 mg/kg body weight respectively. Results indicate N. alba possess significant anti-diarrhoeal activity and may be a potent source of anti-diarrhoeal drug in future. But the extract did not show anti-inflammatory activity.

Alam, Shadab,Albareti, Franco D.,Prieto, Carlos Allende,Anders, F.,Anderson, Scott F.,Anderton, Timothy,Andrews, Brett H.,Armengaud, Eric,Aubourg, É,ric,Bailey, Stephen,Basu, Sarbani,Bautista, J IOP Publishing 2015 The Astrophysical journal Supplement series Vol.219 No.1

<P>The third generation of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-III) took data from 2008 to 2014 using the original SDSS wide-field imager, the original and an upgraded multi-object fiber-fed optical spectrograph, a new near-infrared high-resolution spectrograph, and a novel optical interferometer. All of the data from SDSS-III are now made public. In particular, this paper describes Data Release 11 (DR11) including all data acquired through 2013 July, and Data Release 12 (DR12) adding data acquired through 2014 July (including all data included in previous data releases), marking the end of SDSS-III observing. Relative to our previous public release (DR10), DR12 adds one million new spectra of galaxies and quasars from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) over an additional 3000 deg(2) of sky, more than triples the number of H-band spectra of stars as part of the Apache Point Observatory (APO) Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE), and includes repeated accurate radial velocity measurements of 5500 stars from the Multi-object APO Radial Velocity Exoplanet Large-area Survey (MARVELS). The APOGEE outputs now include the measured abundances of 15 different elements for each star. In total, SDSS-III added 5200 deg(2) of ugriz imaging; 155,520 spectra of 138,099 stars as part of the Sloan Exploration of Galactic Understanding and Evolution 2 (SEGUE-2) survey; 2,497,484 BOSS spectra of 1,372,737 galaxies, 294,512 quasars, and 247,216 stars over 9376 deg(2); 618,080 APOGEE spectra of 156,593 stars; and 197,040 MARVELS spectra of 5513 stars. Since its first light in 1998, SDSS has imaged over 1/3 of the Celestial sphere in five bands and obtained over five million astronomical spectra.</P>
