Extraction of Nicotine from Tobacco Leaves used for Animal Cleansing
Abstract: Nicotine is addictive. An average cigarette yields about 2 mg of absorbed nicotine, and in lesser doses of that order, the substance acts as a stimulant in mammals, while high amounts (50-100 mg) can be harmful. This stimulant effect is a contributing factor to the addictive properties of tobacco smoking. Nicotine’s addictive nature includes psychoactive effects, drug-reinforced behavior, compulsive use, and relapse after abstinence, physical dependence and tolerance. Nicotine can …

Advances in Reproductive Biotechnology: Innovations in Artificial Insemination and IVF Techniques
Abstract: Reproductive biotechnology has transformed infertility management and animal breeding, with artificial insemination (AI) and in vitro fertilization (IVF) playing pivotal roles. Historically, these technologies have evolved from experimental concepts to essential tools in reproductive medicine and agriculture. AI, introduced in the early 20th century, became instrumental in optimizing breeding programs by allowing selective fertilization without physical mating, thus improving genetic diversity and disease control in livestock. Meanwhile, IVF, developed in …

Antibiotics Mediated as Antibiotics Growth Promotants (AGP)
Abstract: Antibiotic resistance in human infections has emerged as a serious public health concern. Some of the resistance problem may be traced back to the transmission of resistant bacteria from animals to humans, as well as the transmission of resistance genes from animal pathogens and commensal bacteria to human infections. Improvements in food cleanliness are among the control methods used to minimise the transmission of zoonotic germs to humans via the …

Solar Based Electric Fence for Smart Farming
Abstract: Animals create problems for farmers in their fields. By using electric fences farmers can protect their fields, farmhouses, farmlands from animals. These control the animals by giving them a short, sharp but safe shock that teaches them to stay away from the fence. Thus electric fences are economical and practical solutions to maximize field production through controlled grazing. Electric fencing is safe, as its output is discrete. There is certain …
