Abstract In recent years, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) has markedly bolstered productivity, especially in agriculture, mitigating environmental impacts like greenhouse gas emissions. This shift employs a range of tech, like IT, sensors, robotics, and AI, boosting output while curbing negative effects. Challenges persist, notably food scarcity and climate threats for a growing global population. By 2050, two billion more people will need sustenance, necessitating urgent agricultural innovation. This article reviewed databases from 1985 to 2023 (Google Scholar, Scopus, ISI Web of Knowledge), analyzing AI’s role in agriculture. Keywords like AI, precision feeding, welfare, animal husbandry, and management were used for systematic literature review. Findings highlight AI’s pivotal role in addressing global food shortages. Investment in emerging tech, especially AI, is crucial for a sustainable food supply.

The incidence of disease and damage will increase, if environmental control and acceptable management practices are not provided during the rearing period. Ascites affect young broilers with rapid growth, and the most critical factor in causing ascites syndrome is the lack of oxygen in body tissues (hypoxia). This research aimed to investigate the effect of olive leaves hydroalcoholic extract and probiotics (LactoFeed) on experimental ascites caused by levothyroxine in male broiler chickens. The present study was an interventional type, and for its implementation, a single-factor design was used in eight groups with 3 replicates. Data were analyzed based on a one-way analysis of variance. Blood parameters of male chickens were measured after 42 days. Biochemical factors of the blood serum of broilers included AST, ALT, ALT, TSHT, T4, T3, Glucose, Cholesterol, Triglyceride, Urea, Uric acid, TP, Albumin, and Globulin. AST, ALT, and ALP levels in the induced ascites group increased by 1.16, 1.35, and 1.16 times, respectively. When the chickens had induced ascites, the levels of all three hormones in the blood serum of broiler chickens increased significantly (P

Turnip leaves are rich in vitamins, contain large amounts of various substances with biological properties, and contain various flavonoids, some of which have phytoestrogens properties. The effect of hydroalcoholic extract of turnip leaf (TLE) on pituitary-gonad axis and testicular tissue changes in adult male rats was investigated.Forty Wistar rats were used in 5 groups of 8. The control group used water and standard laboratory feed and did not receive any TLE. The placebo group received orally a certain amount of distilled water as an extracting solvent. Experimental groups 1, 2, and 3 used TLE included 500, 1000, and 2000 mg/kg, respectively, for 28 days. Finally, blood samples were collected from all examined groups to measure the serum concentrations of testosterone, LH, and FSH by the ELISA method. The testes were removed from the animals, and the diameter of the seminiferous tubules (STD) was measured by DinoCapture software. The results revealed that BW, left and right testes did not exhibit significant changes. The results of hormonal tests showed that the TLE in experimental groups increased the level of testosterone and had no significant effect on the levels of LH and FSH. Histological studies showed that the number of spermatogonia, spermatocytes, spermatids, spermatozoa, Leydig cells, STD, and germinal epithelium diameter (GED) in experimental groups showed significance. The effects of TLE were not dose-dependent and the value of 1000 mg/kg is recommended for effectiveness and margin of assurance. This research article is taken from the master's thesis in the field of animal biology.

This experiment was conducted to study the effect of thyme extracts from Zataria multiflora and Ziziphora clinopodioides Lam on some productive traits and blood parameters. A total of 240 one-day-old, male broilers of Ross 308 were used in a completely randomized design with 6 experimental groups and 4 replicates with 10 birds in each. Experimental treatments consisted of a basal soybean-meal diet (control), the basal diet supplemented with vitamin E at 200 mg/kg, Zataria multiflora essential oil at 200 mg/kg or 400 mg/kg, and Ziziphora clinopodioides essential oil at 200 mg/kg or 400 mg/kg. The results showed that the birds in the experimental groups consumed more feed and had significantly greater body weight as well as energy and protein efficiency in the whole experimental period, especially Ziziphora clinopodioides at the level of 400 mg/kg, compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Thyme extracts had a significant effect on the most blood factors, except cholesterol and LDL-c (P < 0.05). Thyme extracts significantly reduced serum albumin and improved HDL-c level (P < 0.05). The experimental groups had a significant effect on the relative weight of breast and thigh, malondialdehyde concentration, lipid peroxidation, and antioxidant enzyme activity (P < 0.05). Based on the results, Ziziphora clinopodioides at the level of 400 mg/kg can be introduced as an effective oral additive to improve the studied traits.

Background: Antioxidant enzymes and selenium in semen plasma have vital effects on reducing lipid peroxidation of spermatozoid membrane in elderly organisms by preventing the destructive effects of reactive oxygen species. Therefore, the use of antioxidants and selenium is essential for normal testicular function and spermatogenesis. Methods: In this experimental study, 88 male Wistar rats aged 2.5 months (young) and 11 Winstar aged months (old) were separated into 4 groups of control, placebo, experimental 1 (0.2 mg/kg BW), and experimental 2 (0.4). Rats encountered weekly surgery after a week of receiving different treatments. Resection of their testes was used for histological studies. Results: The number of spermatocytes, spermatid, and spermatozoa in young and old rats increased during the study period. In young rats, the highest number of these cells remarked in the third and fourth weeks of the experiment using selenium nanoparticles (ranged from 165.3 to 285.3 × 106). For old rates, the highest number of the abovementioned cells observed in the second week of the experiment (ranged from 143.3 to 146.7 × 106). Variables of treatment, week, and age presented significant effects on the number of testicular germ cells. Also, applied treatments had no significant effect on the sperm quality characteristics of rats. The number of Sertoli and Leydig cells did not show a significant difference compared to the control group. The results showed a positive and highly significant correlation between spermatozoid, spermatocytes, and spermatocytes. The findings also indicated the same genetic and environmental effects on the traits. Therefore, any spermatocyte shift will have a direct influence on the spermatozoid. Conclusions: This study demonstrated that using selenium nanoparticles in young and old age groups in rats could improve testicular germ cells, especially in the old group. Therefore, with growing age and decreasing sperm quality, selenium nanoparticles can be used due to their positive effect on sperm parameters and their low health risk.

Article history: Received on: 24/02/2017 Accepted on: 12/06/2017 Available online: 30/03/2018 In this study, silver nanoparticles were biosynthesized from the methanolic extract of Zygophyllum qatarense Hadidi leaf extract. The methanolic extract of Zygophyllum qatarense Hadidi leaf was used as a stabilizer and reducing agent to reduce Ag + to metallic silver. The produced silver nanoparticles have the average size of 47 nm as confirmed with UV-visible spectroscopy and scanning electron microscope. Furthermore, the antifungal activity of synthesized nanoparticles, methanolic extract of Zygophyllum qatarense Hadidi leaf, and silver nitrate were investigated against Aspergillus nigera and Penicillium digitatum by disk diffusion and micro broth dilution methods. All of the treatments showed antifungal activity, but silver nanoparticles when compared with other treatments had a significant effect against the Aspergillus niger and Penicillium digitatum.

Oliveria decumbens is a famous endemic plant of Flora Iranica used for therapeutic purposes. Traditionally Oliveria decumbens is used for indigestion, diarrhea, abdominal pain and fever. Major research about the therapeutic effect of Oliveria decumbens consists of antibacterial, antioxidant, antifungal and antimicrobial activities. No previously published studies have reported the effect of Oliveria decumbens on type 2 diabetes. A survey of literature indicates that 14 molecules were identified in essential oil from all parts of Oliveria decumbens. The aim of this work is to carry out the relationship between essential oil composition from all parts of Oliveria decumbens and type 2 diabetes by observation of complex formation with DPP-4 enzyme. The researchbased pharmaceutical industry has increasingly employed modern medicinal chemistry methods, including molecular modeling, as powerful tools for the study of structure-activity relationships (SAR). Molecular docking is one of the most frequently used methods in computational chemistry because of its ability to predict, with a substantial degree of accuracy, the conformation of small-molecule ligands within the appropriate target binding site, molecular docking became an essential tool in drug discovery. Molecular docking in this work permits a rapid means of identification of the best-predicted binder of 14 compounds from Oliveria decumbens against DPP-4 enzyme. The findings from this study may help researchers in the identification of new natural bioactive molecules which may be investigated further to develop new drugs for diabetes treatment.

Four silkworm races belonging to two different voltine groups (Two multivoltine races namely Pure Mysore and Nistari and two bivoltine races namely C and NB D ) and the twelve regular and reciprocal 108 4 2 hybrids derived from them were reared under standard laboratory condition analysing six quantitative traits namely cocoon weight, shell weight, shell ratio, filament length, denier and renditta. The data of the pure races was analysied for the estimation of evaluation index to study the genetic divergence between the races. Where as evaluation index, heterosis and overdominance effects were studied in twelve hybrid combinations. Varied heterotic effects were observed for different traits for hybrid combination. Cocoon weight and shell weight has maximum heterosis over the mid parent in Pure Mysore × Nistari (27% and 42% respectively), whereas C × 108 Nistari have shown maximum shell ratio (30%) among the crosses. The maximum filament length heterosis was obtained from Nistari × Pure Mysore. Heterosis for cocoon weight, shell weight, shell ratio, filament length, denier and renditta based on evaluation index confirmed the above results. The investigation indicates that optimum level of genetic divergence between parents is necessary to obtain heterosis in F generation. 1

The present study was undertaken to investigate effects of the adenine on the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonad axis and changes in blood hormone concentration such as FSH, LH, progesterone and estrogen in newborn female rats. Adenine is a common organic base and its concentration variations caused by foods, has various effects on the body metabolic systems. In present study, fifty newborns rats were used divided into five groups, of 10s, including control I, control II which received solvent (normal saline) only and three experimental groups which received 50, 100 and 200 mg body weight adenine respectively. All the animals were kept under same condition with plenty food and water and treated Intra Peritoneally (IP) during days 2-16 after birth. At the end of experiment, all the animals were weighed, their ovaries were removed and blood samples were taken for hormone analysis. The results showed that dose dependent adenine solution significantly reduced the body and ovarian weight on 30 and 70 days after birth. In addition adenine led into no significant difference in concentration of FSH and LH in the experimental groups relative to the control on 30th day of life. But on the 70th day, the levels of these hormones raised significantly in the experimental groups. Furthermore, the adenine solution significantly increased the levels of progesterone and estrogen hormones in the experimental groups relative to the control on the 30th day, while decreased their concentration significantly on the 70th day. This situation has close similarities to metabolic disorders present in human caused by excessive use of adenine. High amounts consumption of adenine in can lead into hormone abnormality, weight loss and metabolic anomalies.
