A total number of 250 one day-old broiler cobb500™ chicks were used to study effect of nano silver on performance of growth and some physiological parameters of broiler chicks in the diet or drinking water under south Sinai condition. Chicks were randomly distributed into 5 equal experimental treatments of 50 chicks each. Every treatment was sub-divided into 5 replicates (10 chicks/ replicates), the chicks were housed in cages from hatch up to 5 weeks of age. The first group was fed the basal diet as a control(C), while, the other four treatments were fed diets containing either 10 and 15 mg/liter of drinking water silver (Ag NPs) for T1 and T2, respectively, while T3 and T4 treatments were fed on 10 and 15 mg / kg diets, respectively. Results obtained could be summarized as follows: Live body weight was increased significantly varied (P<0.01) among the different experimental treatment with the Ag NPs in drinking water and diets more than that of the control diet. Live body weight was improved with the Ag NPs level in the drinking water at 10 mg/ liter of drinking water and 10 mg/kg diets. Feed conversion ratio was better when given via the drinking water. Results on different growing period for clicks recorded significant differences in all carcass traits. Body weight and feed consumption were significant increase, synchronous with the increasing in thyroid hormone, total protein, IGG and AIGM. The same enhanced were in decrease of total lipid and cholesterol in blood, synchronous with the increasing in thyroid hormone; total protein; IGG and AIGM. The same enhanced were in decrease of total lipid and cholesterol in blood. The effect of the material used harmless to the birds and it is clear from the liver and kidney function means no side effects of the substance under study. In conclusion, View, the nano form of silver with 10 ppm/ liter of drinking water can be used on growth improve or some physiological parameters for broiler chicks under semiarid condition.

Plants have a crucial role in maintaining fitness of human beings in one way or other. These medicinal plants with complicated secondary metabolites provide medicinal and curative properties. Medicines based on plant and plant products, is the tradition of Kerala, which is now used as the basis of many of the modern medicaments. There are many plants, which are used by folklore for the treatment of cuts, wounds and burns that promote the repair mechanisms in the natural way. Since our traditional knowledge is on the verge of extinction, the present study was undertaken to document some of the medicinal plants used by Malapandaram tribal community settled at Adichipuzha, near Ranni to treat cuts and wounds.

The experiment was conducted to determine the effects of sesame meal supplementation on the production economy of broiler chickens. The study used a total of one hundred- and fifty-day-old Anak 2000 white strain unsexed broiler chicks which were randomly allocated to five dietary treatments of thirty broiler chicks per treatment and replicated three times with ten birds per replicate in a completely randomized design (CRD). Five experimental diets were formulated with toasted white sesame seeds meal (TWSSM) supplemented methionine at 0%, 4%, 8%, 12% and 16% in diets. The growth performance of the birds at starter phase were not significantly different (P?0.05) across all the treatments. At the finisher phase, the average daily feed intake (ADFI) differs significantly (P?0.001) among the treatment groups, while the average daily weight gain (ADWG) and feed conversion ratio (FCR) were similar. Feed cost (?431.49/kg gain) was higher in T5 (16%) TWSS while T2 (4%) TWSS had the lowest feed cost (?336. 54/kg gain). Thus, it was concluded that TWSSM could be a potential vegetables protein source for broiler chickens’ production and can be included in their diets at 4% as supplement for methionine without having effects on growth performance and equally reduces the cost of production.
