The effect of garlic extract on growth, haematology and cell-mediated immune response of newborn goat kids

The present study was carried out to evaluate the effect of different levels of garlic extract supplemented in milk on growth rate, haematology and cell–mediated immune response of Markhoz newborn goat kids. Twenty four newborn goat kids (aged 7+/-3days) were randomly assigned to four groups. The groups consisted of control (received milk without garlic extract), T1, T2 and T3 which received milk supplemented with 62.5, 125 and 250 mg aqueous garlic extract per kg live weight per day for 42 days, respectively. Body weights were measured weekly throughout the experimental period. At day 42, about 10 ml blood samples were collected from each kid via the jugular vein for haematological study. Cell–mediated immune response was evaluated through double skin thickness after intradermal injection of phyto-hematogglutinin (PHA) at day 21 and 42. Total gain was significantly higher for kids in T3 (P<0.05) compared with the control group. Average daily gain (ADG) in T3 group in week 4–5 was higher (P<0.05). Significant differences in globulin (P<0.01), hemoglobin (Hb; P<0.001), hematocrit (PCV; P<0.001), erythrocyte (RBC; P<0.001), neutrophil (P<0.001), lymphocyte (P<0.001) and leukocyte (WBC; P<0.001) were observed among groups. Hb, PCV, RBC, lymphocytes and WBC were higher in kids given garlic extract supplementation. There was a significant difference of double skin thickness among the groups at day 42 (P<0.01). In conclusion, this study indicated that milk supplemented with aqueous garlic extract improved growth rate and immunity of newborn goat kids.

Diseño y estructuración de la estrategia de ventas de la empresa “Eureka Kids”

La estrategia de ventas es un pilar fundamental de la estrategia integral de una empresa, ya que en ella se definen las acciones que contribuirán a su crecimiento, a su posicionamiento en cada uno de los segmentos de mercado y a alcanzar la rentabilidad esperada. La compañía EUREKA KIDS era consciente que su departamento de ventas no estaba debidamente formado, direccionado y preparado para afrontar los retos que presenta el mercado de la puericultura en lo referente a los artículos de aseo y cosméticos, por tal motivo fue imperativo diseñar y estructurar una estrategia de ventas gerenciable, coherente y sostenible en el tiempo, que le permitiera a la empresa tener desde la selección de sus vendedores, un personal comprometido y competitivo a nivel profesional que le ayude a aumentar los niveles de ventas actuales y futuros. A través del método empírico – analítico, se pudo concluir que si la empresa agranda y profesionaliza su estructura comercial podrá lograr una mayor y mejor penetración del mercado actual, bajo los métodos y procesos de efectividad comercial propuestos a lo largo de la investigación, los cuales están fundamentados en las más recientes investigaciones realizadas a nivel mundial en estrategias de ventas.

Reviews pages: Extreme weather events caused by climate change

Starting from the relationship between urban planning and mobility management, TeMA has gradually expanded the view of the covered topics, always remaining in the groove of rigorous scientific in-depth analysis. During the last two years a particular attention has been paid on the Smart Cities theme and on the different meanings that come with it. The last section of the journal is formed by the Review Pages. They have different aims: to inform on the problems, trends and evolutionary processes; to investigate on the paths by highlighting the advanced relationships among apparently distant disciplinary fields; to explore the interaction’s areas, experiences and potential applications; to underline interactions, disciplinary developments but also, if present, defeats and setbacks. Inside the journal the Review Pages have the task of stimulating as much as possible the circulation of ideas and the discovery of new points of view. For this reason the section is founded on a series of basic’s references, required for the identification of new and more advanced interactions. These references are the research, the planning acts, the actions and the applications, analysed and investigated both for their ability to give a systematic response to questions concerning the urban and territorial planning, and for their attention to aspects such as the environmental sustainability and the innovation in the practices. For this purpose the Review Pages are formed by five sections (Web Resources; Books; Laws; Urban Practices; News and Events), each of which examines a specific aspect of the broader information storage of interest for TeMA.
