“…We also found that these cellulase, amylase and lipase producing bacteria are higher in the gut receiving plant products such as Aloe vera and Tinospora cordifolia along with mulberry leaves. The results are in line with Lokesh et al, (2012) reported that the digestive enzyme activity was found to be higher in fourth and fifth instar larvae fed with mulberry leaves supplemented with Diethyl Sulfate at 8mM dosage. The amylase, cellulase and β-glucosidase produced by the midgut of Tenebrio molitor larvae treated with antibiotics were high compared to non-treated controls (Genta et al, 2006).…”

“…The genotype-environment interaction has highly significant influence on the fecundity of the silkworms, the differential performance between the groups viz., F1 hybrid, Daba and Laria with reference to fecundity attributed to the genetic endowment of the two ecoraces (Omana and Gopinathan, 1995). Similarly secretion of enzymes similar to the findings of Lokesh and Ananthanarayana (2012) observed in the silkworm Bombyx mori. Ishaaya et al (1971) showed in the larvae of Spodoptera littoralis that the protein factors act as stimulation for digestive enzymes probably through a hormonal mechanism.…”

Antheraea mylitta Drury is basically a crossbreeding species, as such it seems to be potentially a good material for the exploitation of heterosis. In the present study F1 hybrid of wild ecorace Laria (L) and semi-domestic Daba (D) was raised and evaluated for various quantitative traits and biochemical parameters during larval stage. Improved fecundity (+18 ± 1.8%) and higher egg hatching rate (+10.96 ± 1.3%) was recorded in the F1hybrid (L x D).Biochemical parameters studied in the hemolymph, midgut and fatbody of the larva showed (Jolly et al., 1968;Sengupta et al ., 1993;Singh and Srivastava, 1997;Srivastava et al ., 2003; Suryanarana and Srivastava, 2005) for which they are known as 'ecoraces'. About 44 ecoraces

“…Blood biochemistry parameters and antioxidant activity are important biomarkers of health status and nutrient metabolism in the body of an organism (Lokesh et al, 2012). Recent studies have evaluated the effects of turmeric powder on blood biochemistry parameters and antioxidant capacity in broiler chickens Gowda et al, 2009;Daneshyar, 2012;Hussein, 2013).…”

The present study was conducted with 288 one-day-old mixed broiler chicks (Ross 308) to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation with various levels of turmeric powder on blood constituents and antioxidant activity. The chicks were randomly assigned to eight dietary groups, which were given turmeric powder levels of 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 and 20 g/kg feed, and two control groups (positive and negative). Each dietary group contained six replicates with six birds each. The results showed that the concentrations of glucose, albumin, blood urea nitrogen and total bilirubin, and the enzyme activity of alanine aminotransferase decreased significantly in the serum of broiler chickens treated with turmeric powder compared with untreated chickens (control groups). However, there was no significant reduction in the concentration of serum creatinine or the enzyme activities of aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase and creatine kinase in serum. The activity of the gamma-glutamyl transferase enzyme did not change either. There was no significant increase in the concentrations of serum total protein and globulin in the groups treated with turmeric powder compared with control groups, except at weeks 2 and 4. The total antioxidant capacity in tissues (liver, heart and kidney) and serum was not affected significantly by turmeric powder. From these results it can be concluded that dietary turmeric powder had positive effects on the blood biochemistry parameters of broiler chickens, but that antioxidant activity was not improved.
