Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMolluscicidal Activity of Ethanolic Dieffenbachia seguine (Dumb Cane) Leaf Extract Against Pomacea canaliculata (Golden Apple Snail)Alfredo V. Corpuz, Carmela M. Florentino, Ace Danielle C. Avero, Sherwin V. AlvaroThe golden apple snail (Pomacea canaliculata), an invasive species that originated in South America, has caused significant damage to rice plantations in Southeast Asia, notably the Philippines. Because of its voracious appetite for aquatic vegetation and quick reproduction rate, it poses a significant agricultural problem. Conventional control approaches, which mostly use chemical molluscicides, have increased environmental issues and threats to … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 3 · 14 Sep 2026 · 846 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFractionated Distillation Behavior and Aroma Component Enrichment of Citronella Oil (Cymbopogon winterianus Jowitt) from West SumatraDaimon Syukri, Anni Faridah, Bayu Indra Lesmana et al.This study aimed to separate the constituent components of citronella oil into several fractions with high purity and to identify the characteristics of the resulting fractions. The research was conducted using an exploratory approach to investigate the fractionation behavior of citronella oil more deeply. The raw materials were citronella oils obtained from three regions in West Sumatra: Batusangkar, Solok, and … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 3 · 10 Aug 2026 · 849 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynergistic Effects of Wheat Bran and Inoculants on Fermentation and Nutritional Quality of Soybean Straw SilageLie Yang, Rundong Qin, Jiahuan Liu et al.The efficient valorisation of lignocellulosic biomass from soybean straw into high-quality silage remains a pressing challenge for sustainable livestock production. This study employed a 3×3 factorial design to systematically investigate the interactive effects between wheat bran additions (0%, 10%, 20% of fresh weight) and microbial inoculant regimes (control, Effective Microorganisms, EM+Trichoderma longibrachiatum) on soybean straw silage quality. Two-way ANOVA revealed … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 2 · 1 Jul 2026 · 1,109 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of a Cyclachaena Xanthiifolia Extract on Trematodes Opisthorchis Felineus: An in Vitro StudyDenis Ponomarev, Elena Khramova, Natalia Gubanova et al.Cyclachaena xanthiifolia is a phytochemically rich invasive weed with documented allelopathic properties, making it a candidate source of bioactive compounds with potential medicinal applications. This study investigated the anthelmintic activity of a crude aqueous-ethanolic extract of C. xanthiifolia (CxEt), prepared from equal proportions of leaves and seeds, against the trematode Opisthorchis felineus in vitro. The effects of CxEt on the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 2 · 1 Jun 2026 · 1,251 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDietary Flavonols With Antiviral Efficacy: Safety and Regulatory ConcernsTanisha Parvez, Tanveer Yaqub, Shama Parveen, Mohammad Khalid ParvezGlobally, a variety of pharmacologically-active plant or natural products are commonly consumed as health-protective dietary supplements. These are marketed as crude formulations, isolated metabolites, multi-vitamins, essential amino acids, unsaturated fatty acids and minerals. Of these, pharmacologically-active flavonols like rutin, quercetin, kaempferol, myricetin, isorhamnetin are the most consumed dietary supplements. In addition to their broad-spectrum therapeutic benefits, these are also known … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 19 Apr 2026 · 1,866 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Nutrient Composition in Feed Supplements Used by Communal Beef Farmers During the Dry Season in Ga-Matlala, Limpopo ProvinceThapelo Rosina Monkwe, Masibonge Gxasheka, Busisiwe GunyaThis study assessed the nutrient composition of feed supplements commonly used by communal beef cattle farmers during the dry season in Limpopo Province of South Africa. A total of seven feed supplements, such as lucerne hay, maize stover, salt licks, calf grower, calf milk replacer, cattle feed pellets, and soybean meal, were sampled and analysed for proximate composition and mineral … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 1 · 16 Mar 2026 · 1,651 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficiency and Sustainability of Alternative Protein Sources for Livestock Production in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Systematic Review and Meta-AnalysisOlusegun Oyebade Ikusika, Bulo Luvuyo, Jaja Ishmeal FestusSub-Saharan Africa (SSA) faces growing challenges in sustainable livestock production due to high costs and limited availability of conventional protein sources such as soybean meal and fishmeal. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the nutritional efficiency and sustainability of locally available alternative protein sources for livestock feed in SSA. Following PRISMA guidelines, systematic searches were conducted across five databases (PubMed, … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 4 · 19 Feb 2026 · 1,844 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPurification, Structural Characterization and Anti-Aging and Stress Activities of Cordyceps Mycelium Polysaccharides from Paecilomyces HepialiXiaokang Hu, Huixiu Ma, Guicai Chen et al.This study identified and characterized the bioactive polysaccharide components from Cordyceps mycelium powder (CMP) derived from Paecilomyces hepiali, evaluating their anti-aging and stress-protective activities. Initial screening using Drosophila melanogaster revealed that crude Cordyceps polysaccharides (CCP) exhibited comparable effects to CMP and Cordyceps aqueous extracts (CAE) on natural lifespan and UV stress resistance, suggesting CCP as the primary bioactive component. CCP … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 4 · 16 Feb 2026 · 1,698 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Analysis of Laboratory Measured and PVTP Software DataOluwasanmi Samuel Teniola, Mercy Isaiah OkegbemiCubic Equations of State (EOS), including the Peng-Robinson (PR) and Soave-Redlich-Kwong (SRK) models, are foundational in petroleum engineering for modeling the thermodynamic behavior of hydrocarbon systems. These EOS are widely used to predict phase behavior and Pressure-Volume-Temperature (PVT) properties, which are crucial for reservoir simulation, production forecasting, and enhanced oil recovery. However, their predictive accuracy diminishes when applied to complex … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 20 Dec 2025 · 2,761 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Processing Methods on Nutrient Composition of Black Soldier Fly Larvae Reared on Slaughterhouse Waste and Rice BranNurul Isnaini, Faizal AndriBlack Soldier Fly (BSF) larvae have emerged as a sustainable and nutrient-dense resource for livestock feed, primarily due to their high protein and lipid contents.
