ABSTRACT: Background: Combination therapy is a common practice in both veterinary and human medicine, aimed at achieving synergism and enhancing therapeutic outcomes. This study aims to determine the effect of a single dose of oxytetracycline (10 mg/kg body weight) on the pharmacokinetics of sulphadimidine administered at a single dose of 100 mg/kg body weight in West African Dwarf (WAD) goats. Materials and Methods: Eight......

ABSTRACT: An experiment was conducted on six year old orange (Citrus reticulata Blanco) plants to study the effect of hydrogel on the fruit quality and yield at Roing. An attempt was made to conserve the soil moisture in the root zone of the plant, received through precipitation, by the application of hydrogel at different levels ranging from 0 – 120 g of dose. The objective is to improve the fruit quality and yield of orange. Drought stress significantly limits the orange plant.....
