Abstract: Man has caused the deterioration of the quality of water in all our fresh water bodies by discharging undesired substances and toxicants into them. Due to the impact of pollution our fresh water resources are getting changed to mere chemical drains, as a result, the quality of fish is also getting reduced. The cosmopolitan use of pesticides for agricultural practices and public health operations for the past few decades is more hazardous than any other pollutants.Healthy  adult fishes  were collected from Aquarium point, Thrissur. The fishes were kept for acclimatization for a period of one week. They were fed with artificial feed once in a day. After completion of the acclimation period, fishes that showed the normal activities were only selected for the experimental purposes. Unnecessary handling of fishes was avoided. As an organophosphate pesticide Malathion and synthetic pyrethroids, cypermethrin had been selected as test toxicants for present study. The desired concentration of Malathion (0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5 ppm) was prepared by dissolving in 1litre of water.0.5 is LC 50 value. The fishes were divided into groups of four each and were exposed to the different concentrations of Malathion and cypermethrin. The distinct changes involving sequence of events occur in sub-lethal concentrations.Further, the individuals in control and test the brain were dissected out.  For protein estimation by Lowry method. The statistical significance was compared between control and experimental groups by using student’s t-test.

Abstract: Ectoparasites found on the dogs were collected and they were identified, based on their morphology. The effect of different natural products was used against the ectoparasites and their actions were studied. The natural herbs were fumigated around the cage and the cage was washed with the natural  preparation and it showed a good reduction in the number of mosquitoes, flies ants, etc around the cage of the animal and also near to habitat of the animal. In the present work a detailed study on the ectoparasite collected & found on the dogs were done and the natural herbs such as neem, turmeric, camphor etc were used against the ectoparasites. It is found that the this treatment was very much effective against the parasites and after the treatment for a long time there was not attack of ectoparasites or irritation was not there on the dog. They were very excellent in the removal of ectoparasites on the dogs.

Abstract: People belonging to ethnic communities use various types of medicines for curing from different ailments. Like other ethnic people it is the inherent property of the medicine men/women of the Santal tribal communities of the district Bankura, West Bengal to prepare many products for the control of fertility. These products are mainly prepared from some uncommon plant species, collected from nearby hilly areas of the district Bankura, West Bengal.
In the present study at least 20 various ethnomedicines have been described. The mode of preparation and ways of application of the medicines varies from one medicineman to the other. These medicines are mainly used for the control of fertility of the tribal women temporarily but sometimes have been used permanently. Usually these medicines are prepared by medicinemen/women of the Santal Tribal people with the combination of a single plant or various plant parts and with some other ingredients commonly called as talans. The tribal people have their belief of the products, prepared by their own medicinemen/women. But no scientific studies have been made so far. For the betterment of the common people, these products should be studied scientifically. An analysis of the plants by the ethnopharmacologists, biochemists and reproductive physiologists will help to record the information in future.

Abstract: Six male sheep with similar age (3-5 months) and body weight ranging from 16 kg to 20 kg were used in this experiment. Each animal was kept in individual cages and the animals were fed rice straw and sesame cake for one month and provided clean water ad-libitum. The experimental animals were fed 3% of body weight with and it was formulated isonitrogenously not less than 21% of crude protein. Animals were divided randomly into three groups (A, B, C) each having two animals. Group A was kept as a control group and group B and C were fed 30% and 60% of total diet with Leucaenaleucocephala leaves, respectively. The experimental period was two months. In the histopathological study, the thyroid gland, there were the colloidal goiter and interfollicular congestion. Severe degeneration of follicles and follicular cells, shrinkage and changes in morphology in some follicles were found. Vacuolization of follicles were replaced with massive infiltration of connective tissue. All of the above lesions were more severe lesions in the animals of group C than those of group B. It was concluded that the toxic effects of mimosine presented in the L. leucocephala were more severe lesions in those animals fed with 60% of LL in the diet than those fed with 30% LL in the diet.

Abstract: Natural resources may be further classified in different ways. Natural resources are materials and components (something that can be used) that can be found within the environment. Every man-made product is composed of natural resources (at its fundamental level). Exploration, inventorisation and documentation of phytodiversity in general and protected areas, hotspots, fragile ecosystems and sacred groves in particular; publication of National, State and District Floras, monitoring Phytodiversity to evaluate the qualitative changes in species rich and sensitive areas There are various methods of categorizing natural resources, these include source of origin, stage of development, and by their renew ability, these classifications described. Damodar Valley Thermal Power Project and another in connection with the Hydroelectric project in Pithoragarh District.
