Innovative Strategies for Optimal Reproductive Management in Poultry Through Artificial Insemination
Abstract
Abstract
Artificial insemination (AI) has revolutionized poultry breeding, enabling superior genetic control and enhanced breeding program efficiency. This review provides a comprehensive guide for poultry producers on the successful application of AI in chickens. It delves into the avian reproductive systems, emphasizing the importance of understanding both male and female anatomy for optimal insemination practices. Key factors affecting fertility are explored, including semen collection techniques, hygiene considerations, and proper evaluation of semen quality. The importance of semen diluents and storage for maximizing sperm viability is highlighted. Different insemination methods, such as the automatic gun and glass straw methods, are presented along with their advantages and considerations. Proper handling of birds during insemination and the crucial role of timing are emphasized. The abstract concludes by outlining the advantages of AI in poultry breeding, including increased genetic selection, disease prevention, and improved production efficiency.
Keywords: Artificial insemination, poultry, Fertility, Hatchability

Dairy in Distress: How Climate Change is Shaping the Industry
Abstract
The dairy industry facing unprecedented issues driven by the complex relation between climate change and global demand for dairy products. As climate patterns displace globally, the agricultural sector including dairy production is balanced to experience significant interference. This paper explores the relationship between climate change and the dairy industry by examining their impacts on production systems, waste management, and animal health. Climate change amplifies the existing vulnerabilities within the dairy sector by affecting production, reproduction, and animal health. Heat stress emerges as a critical concern, influencing milk production, fertility, and prone to diseases. The rapid increase in temperature influences dairy animals' physiological changes and metabolic disturbances, leading to reduced productivity and increased health risks. This paper highlights the necessity for collaborative efforts among policymakers, researchers, and industry stakeholders to tackle the challenges raised in the dairy sector by climate change. The industry can navigate these challenges by implementing adaptive strategies and innovative solutions while ensuring environmental sustainability and food security for future generations.

Clinical Trials and Efficacy of Male Contraceptives
Abstract
Clinical trials on male contraceptives have shown significant progress, with innovative hormonal formulations demonstrating high efficacy in suppressing spermatogenesis. Studies since the 1970s have explored various methods and biological agents, including testosterone enanthate, cypionate, and undecanoate, often combined with progestins, achieving azoospermia in up to 95% of men. Recent trials with new hormonal entities like dimethandrolone undecanoate and segesterone acetate are promising, with phase II trials ongoing. Despite these advancements, acceptance and access remain challenges. Side effects such as acne, weight gain, and mood changes have been reported, but they are generally reversible. Ensuring the development of effective, reversible, and safe male contraceptives is crucial for comprehensive family planning. The current research aims to address these issues, with results from large-scale studies expected by late 2024. This article highlights the significant advancements and ongoing efforts in clinical trials to enhance the efficacy and acceptance of male contraceptives.

The Tick-Tock of Babesiosis: Understanding the Risks, Signs, and Treatment Options, plus a Look at Herbal Tick Control
Abstract
Babesiosis is a protozoal tick-borne disease caused by Babesia species characterised by high fever, anaemia, haemoglobinemia and haemoglobinuria. Animals kept on katcha floor, closed housing system and tethering system are more prone to Babesiosis. It is mainly diagnosed through thin and thick blood smears and PCR. Diminazene aceturate and imidocarb dipropionate are most commonly used drugs against Babesiosis. In vectors control the various phytopharmacueticals with acaricidal and larvicidal properties are Azadirachta indica (Neem Tree), Gynandropsis gynandra (Spiderwisp), Lavandula angustifolia (English Lavender), Pelargonium Roseum (Rose-scent geranium), and Cymbopogon (Lemon Grass) species.

Advances in Biochemical Techniques for Monitoring Emerging Infectious Diseases in Humans
Abstract
Major global health challenges like infectious diseases are causing significant morbidity and mortality with approximately 25% of the 60 million annual deaths attributed to these diseases. However, microbial culture and immunological assays along with the face, speed, limitations , and specificity are the historic diagnostic methods used to hinder effective disease management. Molecular diagnostic techniques like Polymerase chain Reaction and high-throughput sequencing have revolutionized pathogen detection and offered rapid and precise identification. Diagnostic capabilities are enhanced through the innovation in point-of-care (POC) devices by offering rapid, on-site testing. The GeneXpert for tuberculosis and Human Immuno deficiency Virus are notable examples of Point of care . However, often lack full integration and automation indicating a need for further innovation in Point of care devices to achieve beneficial solutions. Additionally, electrochemical biosensors offer rapid, selective, and cost-effective virus detection. These biosensors identify the various viral biomarkers such as nucleic proteins,, nucleic acids, and antibodies essential for monitoring infections and guiding treatment. Infectious disease occurrences like Ebola,, zika ,and coronaviruses (e.g., SARS-CoV-2) highlight the necessity for advanced diagnostic tools
