Role of Bioactive Compounds on Protein Utilization in Ruminants: A Review
Abstract: Insufficient nutrition is the primary drive of low productivity by ruminants. These insufficiencies can be corrected by supplementation with high-density feeds and locally available tree legumes. These tree legumes contain various types of bioactive compounds, which can be defined as secondary plant metabolites (PSM) that are extra nutritional substances having pharmacological or toxicological effects in man and animals. Besides the primary biosynthetic, the secondary metabolites are also produced within the …

The Process of Manufacturing of Pedal Powered Water Purifier
Abstract: Water (constituent of hydrogen & oxygen) is a requirement of everything including humans, animals, plants, & microorganisms. They can’t live without it. Due to Industrial growth & construction development, water is becoming polluted specially in rivers. As well Electricity is extremely erratic in rural and remote areas, thus making conventional water purifiers almost redundant for use. Thus, this project is specifically targeted at such areas like rural & urban where …
