A total of 6 thermophilic cellulase-producing strainswere isolated from organic garden waste mixed chicken composting at thermophilic period. These isolates were identified as Streptomyces thermoviolaceus, S. thermodiastaticus, S. thermocarboxydus, S. albidoflavus, S. thermovulgaris and Brevibacillus borstelensis through 16S rRNA gene sequence alignment and phylogenetic tree analysis. The cellulose-degrading microbial community has been investigated in few researches so far both at home and abroad. In this study, the mixed strains M-1 was made up of the 6 cellulose-decomposing microorganisms. The CMCase activity of the mixed strains M- 1 was stronger than any of the 6 single strains. Production of CMCase from mixed strains M-1 was studied by optimizing different physico-chemical parameters. The Maximum CMCase production (135.9 U · mL⁻¹) of strains M-1 was achieved at 45 °C in a liquid medium (pH 4) inoculated with 1% (volume fraction), containing a mixture of wheat bran and starch, corn flour and KNO₃. After optimization of separation conditions, CMCase production capacity was improved by 1.8 times.

During disease, there may be increased local demands for zinc (Zn) and vitamin A to support pathogen response. This study evaluates the effects of intranasal Zn and vitamin A treatments on steers experimentally infected with bovine respiratory disease (BRD) pathogens, bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) and , hypothesizing that steers treated with Zn and vitamin A (VA) will have improved recovery to BRD challenge. Forty-eight Angus crossbred steers (333 ± 4.

Background And Aim: Antibiotic resistance poses a growing threat to wound management in veterinary medicine. Blue light phototherapy has emerged as a non-antibiotic bactericidal alternative with additional benefits for wound healing. However, its effectiveness in clinical veterinary contexts remains inadequately explored.

The COVID-19 pandemic had significant widespread financial impacts, resulting in decreased household income, increased unemployment, and disrupted health services. Despite the higher prevalence of infections of tuberculosis (TB) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in poorer populations, research on the financial challenges faced by these populations during the pandemic is still limited. Indonesia recorded the highest COVID-19 cases in Southeast Asia (6,815,156) while contending with the dual burden of HIV and TB.

Contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP), caused by subsp. (Mmm), is a devastating cattle disease with high morbidity and mortality, threatening cattle productivity in Sub-Saharan Africa and potentially in parts of Asia. Cross-border livestock trade increases the risk of CBPP introduction or reintroduction.

Methods: We developed a method using beads and resin, where a sample is centrifuged to separate the supernatant and pellet.
