The genus Bifidobacterium is purported to have beneficial consequences for human health and is a major component of many gastrointestinal probiotics. Although species of Bifidobacterium are generally at low relative frequency in the adult human gastrointestinal tract, they can constitute high proportions of the gastrointestinal communities of adult...
There is a growing need to find the most appropriate and effective treatment options for a variety of painful syndromes, including conditions affecting the gastrointestinal tract, for treating both veterinary and human patients. The most successful regimen may come through integrated therapies including combining current and novel western drugs wit...
Abstract
The nutritive values of three grasses (Cynodon plectostychus, Panicum maximum, Pennisetum purpureum), three creeping legumes (CL) (Calopogonia muconoides, Macroptilium atropurpureum, Neonotonia wightii) and three multipurpose trees (MPTs) (Leucaena leucocephala, Gliricidia sepium, Morus alba) native to Eastern Tanzania, collected during tw...

Mineral elements constitute a relatively small amount of the diet of animals but they are vital to animal health, reproduction and productivity. The concentrations of minerals in 129 blood samples from zero grazed dairy cows (Friesian or Ayrshire crosses of Tanzania Shorthorn Zebu aged between 4 and 7 years) and feed resources (forages, maize bran,...
Optimal utilization of local feed resources for improved livestock productivity in many production systems in the tropics is limited by scanty information on nutritive potential of forages including minerals. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of season on concentration of macro and micro minerals of nine forage species: three gra...
