The objective of this study was to investigate the estrogenic and antifertility effects of Pueraria mirifica tuber powder collected for 30 years since 1987 (PM) in female rats. There are 2 experiments in this study. The first experiment was the investigation of the estrogenic effects of PM in ovariectomized mature rats by oral feeding with 3 different dosages of PM (25, 50 and 100 mg. /rat/day) for 4 consecutive days compared with the control group (7 rats/group). Uterine wet and dried weight and liquid content were used as the indicators of the estrogenic potency of PM. The second experiment was the investigation on the antifertility effects of PM in mature female rats. In this experiment, the female rats were caged with male at the ratio of 2 females : 1 male ( 10 cages/ group) . Oral feeding of the highest dosage of PM ( from the first experiment) to only the female rats for 14 consecutive days compared with the control group. After 14-day treatment of PM to the females, male rats from both groups were removed and the female rats were left and stayed in each cage for another 21 days.
During 21-day of observation : number of pregnant and parturient rats, number of live fetuses delivered were noted. After that, all of the female rats in each group were sacrificed and note that the rats became pregnant or not. If the rats were pregnant, number of embryos IN UTERO were counted and noted. The results were found that PM collected for 30 years still pronounced the estrogenic activities in bilaterally ovariectomized rats as indicated from the uterine wet and dried weight and liquid content were significantly higher than the control group (p<0. 01) . The studies on the antifertility effects of 30th yr. PM in mature female rats revealed that 30th yr. PM was still show contraceptive effect. In this group, rats could pregnant 40 %.

The descriptive correlational study was studied the waste sorting behavior among housewives in Nakhon Chum sub-district Municipality, Mueang district, Kamphaeng Phet Province. Data was collected by using questionnaire from a sample of 314 households. The multi - stage random sampling was used for selecting of the samples. The descriptive statistic and Chi-Square Test were analyzed and reported.

The results found that 95.54% of samples had a high level of knowledge on waste types and waste separation. 89.81% had an attitude of them towards waste separation were at a good level. 89.17% of samples had waste separation behavior was at a good level. There were three predisposing factors; Age, Educational level and the number of household members related to waste separation behavior of samples. The reinforcing factors related to waste separation behavior of samples were included having the buyers of recyclable waste at home in 1-2 times per month and having been trained on waste separation to add value of waste at the 1 year ago. Finally, the enabling factors were obtaining information news on waste separation from all media and others. All of factors analyzed at the level of statistical significance (p-value < 0.05)

For the suggestion, increasing the training workshops to housewives on household waste separation with the correct method in solid waste separation. Campaigning about waste separation behavior through various media. Adjusting the attitude towards solid waste separation in the area as continuously. At last, Increasing the number of the recycling shops and setting the waste banks in the community.

Dietary supplementation of turmeric (Curcuma longa) rhizome and garlic (Allium sativum) powder in laying hen to promote egg production and quality

Duangjai Boonkusol — 2023-01-02

Laying hens is an economic animal that can generate income for farmers continuously throughout the year. Farmers want to increase the productivity and quality of eggs safely. Objectives of this study were to compare the quantity and quality of eggs from chickens fed with normal diet and herbals, turmeric and garlic, supplemented diets and analyze group Enterobacteriaceae and Lactic acid bacteria in hen feces. Supplementation of 1% turmeric, 1% garlic and 0.5% turmeric + 0.5% garlic to diet. Twenty-four hens (Roman Brown hybrid) were divided into four groups (control, 1% turmeric, 1% garlic and 1% turmeric + garlic). It was found that group supplemented with 1% turmeric + garlic showed the significantly highest egg production rate, significantly highest parameters indicating the quality of the eggs (egg weight, egg yolk weight, egg shell thickness), and significantly highest color of the yolk (brightness, yellow and red). The group that found the least Enterobacteriaceae and the highest lactic acid bacteria in feces were 1% turmeric + garlic supplementation (125.33 ± 10.12 colony) and 1% garlic supplementation (573.33 ± 101.76 colonies), respectively. Therefore, turmeric and garlic can be used to promote eggs production and quality as well as increase good bacteria in the digestive tract of hens.

Development of egg trays from agricultural biomass materials

Titima Leetarkool — 2023-01-02

The purpose of this research was to produce egg trays from agricultural waste materials and to study the efficiency of developed egg trays. The test was conducted by creating egg trays from agricultural biomass materials such as bagasse, sugarcane leaves and cornhusks. Made and molded into an egg tray by casting method, then dried for 7 days. The efficiency test was divided into 3 parts: Tension Immediate impact by Impact test method and shock impact on egg breakage rate when wrapped in egg tray by Drop test method. Tension cornhusk egg tray can withstand high tensile strength. Due to the dense structure and homogeneous adhesion Therefore, it is stronger and can withstand more tensile strength than bagasse egg trays. The impact test by Impact test found that the energy value of the cornhusk material absorbing force is greater. That is, cornhusk egg trays are more rigid than bagasse egg trays. The impact strength on the rate of breakage of eggs when wrapped in egg trays by drop test method showed that the percentage of egg breakage Bagasse egg trays had a higher percentage of cracking than cornhusk egg trays when released at low height. Compared to the highest emission height, the egg rupture percentage was the same. Therefore, it can be concluded that cornhusks are best used as egg trays.
