Ensiling characteristics and in vitro rumen fermentation of Sesbania grandiflora pods prepared with inhibitory and stimulatory additives.

Limited research has been conducted on the ensiling characteristics of Sesbania grandiflora pods (SGP) for ruminant production. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of silage additives on ensiling characteristics and in vitro rumen fermentation of SGP. A completely randomized design included three treatments: control (untreated), formic acid (FA) at 7.

Immunomodulatory effects of coated gold nanoparticles in LPS-stimulated and murine model systems.

The ability of nanoparticle surface functionalities to regulate immune responses during an immunological challenge (i. e. inflammation) would open new doors for their use in non-prophylactic therapeutics.
