Water Hyacinth-Derived Biopolymers as Reinforcements for Sustainable Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composites
Abstract: Composting has gained significant attention for sustainable waste management and nutrient recycling. This study investigated the efficacy of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) as a composting material to produce nutrient-rich organic fertilizer. Water hyacinth compost inoculated with nitrogen-fixing (Azotobacter chroococcum) and phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (Pseudomonas putida) exhibited increased nitrogen and phosphorus content compared to uninoculated compost or cattle dung compost. Wheat grown with biofertilizer-enriched water hyacinth compost displayed significantly improved grain yield, …

Morphological Identification of Rumen Protozoal Population in Domestic Ruminants of Chennai
Abstract: Rumen is a complex ecosystem where feed consumed by ruminants is digested by the help of symbiotic microbes (bacteria, protozoa, and fungi) and the interaction between the host and ruminal microorganisms are diverse. This provides an advantage in the ability of ruminant digestion. End products of rumen fermentation are volatile fatty acids and the microbial biomass. The distribution of rumen microbes, their numbers, type, vary in the ruminants and is …

Lesser-Known Metabolites Influencing Ovarian Function, Follicular Development, and Embryo Viability in Dairy Cows
Abstract: The intricate processes of ovarian function, follicular development, and embryo viability in dairy cows are tightly regulated by a complex network of metabolites. While conventional biomarkers, such as steroid hormones, amino acids, and glucose metabolites, have been extensively studied, a growing body of evidence suggests that lesser-known metabolites play pivotal roles in bovine reproductive physiology. Dairy cattle fertility is critical for maintaining optimal milk production and herd sustainability, necessitating deeper …
