Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Dietary Curcumin on Rumen Fermentation, Macronutrient Digestion and Nitrogen Balance in Beef CattleT. Vorlaphim, M. Phonvisay, J. Khotsakdee et al.Abstract: Problem statement: Previous studies have shown that curcumin has antibacterial activity. It was hypothesized that the feeding of curcumin to ruminants may disturb rumen function and affect macronutrient digestibility and nitrogen utilization. Approach: In an experiment with Latin-square design, beef cattle were fed rations consisting of urea-treated rice straw and concentrates without or with 0.1 or 0.2% added curcumin. … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 26 Jul 2011 · 9,152 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBioassay Guided Isolation of Antibacterial Compounds from Andrographis paniculataAbubakar Sule, Qamar Uddin Ahmed, Othman Abd. Samah et al.Problem statement: Chronic disease-causing bacteria of medical importance have developed resistance to antibiotics, hence, necessitating distinct and constant need for safe and efficient therapeutic agents. Plants are considered potent candidate for this aim. A way out of reducing antibiotic resistance and adverse effects on host is the employment of antibiotic resistance inhibitors of plant origin. Approach: About 5 kg pulverized … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 6 · 13 Jun 2011 · 10,025 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Phytochemical Contents and Antimicrobial Activities of Malaysian Calophyllum RubiginosumSuhaib Ibrahim ALkhamaiseh, Muhammad Taher, Farediah AhmadProblem statement: Many species of plants in Malaysia are widely used in folk medicine. However, Calophyllum species have been used in traditional medicine for their therapeutic values for many years. Several studies reported that antimicrobial, antifungal, anti-HIV and anti-cancer compounds were isolated from numerous Calophyllum species. Approach: The stem bark was extracted by EtOH, after with it was fractionated with … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 25 Mar 2011 · 7,573 accessesView PDFCite
