The goal of this experiment was to compare the effectiveness of three popular synchronization protocols, viz. ovsynch, double prostaglandin (PGF2? /PG) injections, and MAP (Medroxyprogesterone acetate) sponges, in anestrous goats. Twenty one non pregnant multiparous anestrous goats with an average body condition score (BCS = 2.5) were selected. After the last PG injection, all the goats were exposed to three fertile bucks. They were observed to be in standing estrus. For further confirmation of copulation, a vaginal cytology test was performed for the presence of sperm inside the vaginal smear. Serum estradiol (E2) peaks were also estimated by using radioimmunoassay in estrus goats. MAP sponge efficiency with respect to estrus induction was found to be superior (57%) as compared to the rest (Ovsynch14 and PG 0%) (p< 0.05). Post PG standing estrus time in ovsynch and MAP groups was recorded as 48 h and 44 ± 12 h, respectively. The double PG group totally failed to show standing estrus. E2 peak levels ranging from 11-38 pg/ml in ovsynch and 10–25 pg/ml in the MAP group were observed in estrus goats. This study found the MAP sponge protocol most efficient for inducing estrus in anestrous goats.

The first report on the occurrence of the remarkable and highly ephemeral sap-sucking sea slugs Elysia bangtawaensis and E. leucolegnote from the newly grown mangrove forest in the Prince of Songkla University, Pattani, Thailand. Elysia was surveyed by exploring from the inner part to the floor front zone of the mangrove area. The various sizes and numbers of E. bangtawaensis were clumped distribution in some microhabitats throughout the area, while E. leucolegnote was distributed in the floor front zone of the area. Both species have similar external morphological characters with conspecifics previously reported in Pattani Bay, Gulf of Thailand, Andaman Sea, and elsewhere. E. bangtawaensis showed a surprisingly larger size than previously reported. This discovery is important in identifying the changes in ecosystems within the area to support the diversity of organisms that will come to use the area in the future.

The agricultural industry in Malaysia remains a vital element in providing food and employment. Introducing innovation in beef cattle farming has brought new changes in the livestock sector. Hopefully, it can generate a high income among farmers and brighten the Malaysian economy. However, introducing innovations such as assisted reproduction technology, biosecurity and intensive rearing require more significant effort from all parties, including farmers, extension agents and the government. This paper aims to identify beef cattle farmers' challenges in adopting innovations to improve beef production. Process of identifying, screening and eligibility is essential in producing an extensive literature review paper. From these processes, nine articles were found as the most relevant for this review article. The financial problem, communication failure and inaccessible information were the main challenges faced by farmers and extension agents in implementing innovations. Nevertheless, cooperation from all parties can lead to an excellent distribution of knowledge and skills among farmers.

The COVID-19 pandemic is a global health catastrophe that has had severe effects on the worldwide economy, both directly and indirectly, because of the spread of the virus. The food and agriculture industries are also experiencing the effects. The COVID-19 epidemic disrupted the regular delivery system of agricultural extension services and the delivery of agricultural produce to markets. The study aimed to determine farmers' readiness to address post-MCO challenges in technology, implementation, decision-making, and leadership. Following the COVID-19 rules of reducing close contact to minimize virus transmission, a structured questionnaire was delivered to farmers online (Google form) and face-to-face with the support of extension agents. The results show that the relationship between independent and dependent variables was positive. Also, according to the findings, decision-making is the most crucial element influencing farmers' readiness to tackle post-movement control order issues. According to researchers, farmers' abilities should be developed to overcome challenges in pandemic conditions.

The emergence of avian diseases can cause major economic problems due to production losses and mortality in domestic poultry. Astrovirus is frequently associated with enteric diseases in poultry, being isolated from cases of runting-stunting syndrome (RSS) of broiler chickens, poult enteritis complex (PEC), and poult enteritis mortality syndrome (PEMS) of turkeys. Avian astrovirus can be detected in chickens from both healthy and poorly performing flocks. In Malaysia, information and reports regarding chicken astrovirus (CAstV) in poultry are limited. The objective of this study is to perform a phylogenetic study on the avian astrovirus isolated from a suspected case in 2019 and to determine the subgroups of avian astrovirus strains that existed in Malaysia. Reverse Transcription Polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was performed based on the partial ORF1b gene and the nucleotide sequence was analyzed. Phylogenetic analysis showed that this isolate was clustered together with CAstV strains from several strain from USA, Malaysia and others. Furthermore, the isolate from broiler chicken showed 97.2% to 99.4% of its nucleotide identity with isolates from the American strains, compared to the previously CAstv Malaysia strain, which shared 94.8% to 95%.Therefore, the current study provides important information on the epidemiology of CAstV and highlights the importance of control strategies against CAstV-infected poultry in Malaysia.

A study on genetic diversity analysis was conducted on Rusa timorensis obtained from state of Perak and state of Pahang to investigate the level of genetic diversity occur and to compare the diversity amongst two R. timorensis breeders in Malaysia. A total of six (n=6) individual samples of R. timorensis were extracted from Tanjung Malim, Perak and Bilut Agro Farm, Pahang and amplified using mitochondria deoxyribonucleic acid (mtDNA) primers gene as a target molecular marker. The mtDNA region was amplified using a set of cytochrome b gene primers (5”AAACCA GAAAAGGAGAGCAAC3”;5”TCATCTAGGCATTTTCAGTGCC3”) and nucleotide sequence of the mtDNA cyt b was aligned by using MEGA Ver 7.0. The result indicated that the R. timorensis from Pahang has a low degree of variation (0.252) of genetic distance compared to, R. timorensis from Perak (0.696). The phylogenetic three analysis, indicated, R. timorensis from Pahang resulted the highest intra-specific relationship at 100% compared to, R. timorensis from Perak at 63% of intra-specific relationship. The results showed that the genetic diversity of, R. timorensis in Perak and Pahang is likely to decrease in the future. Therefore, future breeding program plan needs to be implemented to diversify the genetics of genus Rusa in Malaysia.
摘要对马来西亚霹雳州和彭亨州的红背沙鼠进行了遗传多样性分析，探讨了红背沙鼠的遗传多样性水平，并比较了马来西亚两个红背沙鼠的遗传多样性。以线粒体脱氧核糖核酸(mtDNA)引物基因为靶分子标记，从槟榔州丹绒马林和彭亨州Bilut Agro农场共提取了6个(n=6)个铁铁褐毛杆菌样本。使用细胞色素b基因引物(5“AAACCA GAAAAGGAGAGCAAC3”;5“TCATCTAGGCATTTTCAGTGCC3”)扩增mtDNA区域，使用MEGA Ver 7.0对mtDNA cyt b的核苷酸序列进行比对。结果表明，彭亨州滇鼠与霹雳州滇鼠的遗传距离变异程度较低(0.252)。系统发育分析表明，来自彭亨州的帝汶红毛鼠种内亲缘关系最高，为100%，而来自霹雳州的帝汶红毛鼠种内亲缘关系为63%。结果表明，在霹雳州和彭亨州，帝汶红毛鼠的遗传多样性在未来可能会下降。因此，需要实施未来的育种计划计划，以使马来西亚的Rusa属遗传多样化。

Green chillies (Capsicum annuum L.) are susceptible to pest attack, experiences water loss rapidly in a short time and also experiences chilling injury when stored at a cool temperature that leads to shorter shelf life. Therefore, this study was conducted to examine the effects of chitosan at different concentrations (0.5%, 1.0% and 2.0%) on the shelf life of green chilies stored at ambient temperature (27°C) for 21 days. The effectiveness of the chitosan treatments in extending green chilies’ shelf-life was evaluated by determining their physical and chemical qualities. Coated green chilies are able to preserve for a longer period of time compared to uncoated green chilies. Regardless of any chitosan concentration, the total soluble solid content (TSS) of coated green chilies had increased starting from day 3 to day 21 day as compared to the control. At the highest concentration of 2.0%, chitosan treatment was able to reduce the pH by 28% on day 6 of the storage period, meanwhile, the pH was maintained across the concentration at the end of the storage period (day 21). It was found that the green chilies faced 10 to 22% weight loss across the concentration as compared to the control at the end of the storage period, where the highest weight loss was prominent at 2.0% chitosan. However, in terms of firmness, the chitosan treatments do not give any significant effect on all the treated green chilies. These results suggest that the application of edible chitosan coating contributes to lower pH and weight loss which is responsible for the longer shelf life of the green chilies.

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has affected a number of integral aspects and climate change is one of them. The inter-relationship between COVID-19 and climate change has garnered the interest among scholars across the globe to probe into the related emerging issues. With the escalating number of published articles, a pressing need is present to map and review all available studies in order to capture comprehensive and organised views for future scholars to draw upon the existing pattern of the interchanging correlation between COVID-19 and climate change. This scoping review is guided by a primary research question - what is the inter-relationship between COVID-19 and climate change. Related articles and documents were retrieved from Scopus, Science Direct, and Google Scholars databases. The thematically analysis data were classified into four emerging themes: (1) reduced air pollution, (2) low carbon emission, (3) the impact of temperature and humidity variation on COVID-19, and (4) the impact of air pollution on COVID-19. Variances in the outcomes, particularly on the effects of temperature, humidity, and polluted air on COVID-19, suggest further exploration endeavours. Essentially, the economic impact exerted by COVID-19 and its overall effect on budget to combat climate change remain untapped.

The thematically analysis data were classified into four emerging themes: (1) reduced air pollution, (2) low carbon emission, (3) the impact of temperature and humidity variation on COVID-19, and (4) the impact of air pollution on COVID-19. Variances in the outcomes, particularly on the effects of temperature, humidity, and polluted air on COVID-19, suggest further exploration endeavours. Essentially, the economic impact exerted by COVID-19 and its overall effect on budget to combat climate change remain untapped.","PeriodicalId":17457,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Tropical Resources and Sustainable Science (JTRSS)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87089146","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the beverages industry, the stabilizer and emulsifier were used to enhance the quality of Pink Guava Juice Drink (PGJD) in terms of colour, taste, and texture. Thus, the product is favourable and marketable. This study was conducted to find the best emulsifier combination for PGJD. The combination of six different stabilizers such as Guar gum (GG), Carboxyl methyl cellulose (CMC), Arabic gum (AG), Xanthan gum (XG), Propylene glycol alginate (PGA), and Pectin were applied to PGJD formulation. Meanwhile, about three emulsifiers which are Arabic gum (AG), Polysorbate 80 (P80), and Propylene glycol alginate (PGA) were used to emulsify vitamin E in PGJD. The ratio for both stabilizers and emulsifiers varied accordingly. The most stable and suitable combination of stabilizers and emulsifiers was later added to PGJD. The combination of XG and CMC at the concentration of 70:30 with 0.2% (w/v) was the best stabilizer. Meanwhile, P80 was found to be the best emulsifier at a concentration of 0.8% (w/v) and PGJD fortified with 225 mg of vitamin E was chosen as the most acceptable PGJ among panelists. This finding of the present study can be a guideline for beverage manufacturers in selecting the best stabilizers and emulsifiers.
