    ANALYSIS OF NUTRIENT CONTENTS IN CONVENTIONAL AND NONCONVENTIONAL FEED INGREDIENTS AND ITS EFFECTS ON CARP POLYCULTURE PRODUCTION
    (Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University Research System (SAURES), Dhaka, Bangladesh, 2013-01) Asadujjaman, M.; Shelly, N. J.; Islam, M. A.; Hossain, M. A.
    A study on proximate composition of conventional and non-conventional fish feed ingredients was carried out involving two separate experiments. First experiment was conducted from April 2010 to September 2010 at the Protein and Enzyme Research Laboratory, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Rajshahi University, Rajshahi with a view to determine nutrient (protein, lipid and carbohydrate) content of some feed ingredients i.e. Rice bran, wheat bran, mustard oil cake, Azolla, grass (Cynodon dactylon) and leaf of banana (Musa acuminate) among the feed samples, protein, lipid and carbohydrate content significantly varied from 6.18±0.13 (banana leaf) to 30.53±0.40% (oil cake), 3.06±0.09 (banana leaf) to 13.33±0.10% (oil cake) and 32.95±0.29 (oil cake) to 66.12±0.47% (wheat bran), respectively. Second experiment was conducted during the period from April 20 II to September 20 II at Alampur village of SOOarUpazila under Kushtia district, Bangladesh with a view to evaluate the fish production and economics under different conventional and non-conventional feed based carp polyculture systems. There were three replications for each treatment. In this experiment, treatment To(Semi-intensive ponds fed with feeds like rice bran, wheat bran and oi1cake as control) varied more significantly (P<0.05) for the mean values of total yield but in terms of total cost, total return, net benefit, net profit margin and eBR treatment T, (Azolla fed pond) was best. Therefore, the findings indicate that weeds (non-conventional feed items) are moderately nutritive and low cost effective diets for fish production.

    Antioxidant, analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities of the herb Eclipta Prostrate
    (© 2011 Academic Journals Inc., 2011) Hossain, M.S.; Alam, M.B.; Chowdhury, N.S.; Asadujjaman, M.; Zahan, R.; Islam, M.M.; Mazumder, M.E.H.; Haque, M.E.; Islam, A.
    The present study was designed to investigate the antioxidant, analgesic and anti-inflammatory potential of the methanolic extract along with its organic soluble fractions of the herb Eclipta prostrata. In addition, total phenolic and flavonoid content and total antioxidant capacity were also determined. Antioxidant potential of the extract/fractions was evaluated by DPPH (1,1diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl), NO (nitric oxide) and ONOO- (peroxynitrite) scavenging assay method. Ethyl acetate fractions (EtOAc) showed highest scavenging activity in all the methods with IC50 value of 12.98±0.08, 45.98±0.07 and 14.45±0.18 μg mL-1 for DPPH, NO and ONOO- assay method, respectively. In reducing power assay, EtOAc fraction also showed significant (p<0.001) activity. Further, the extract/fractions were studied for their analgesic (hot plate, tail immersion and acetic acid induced writhing test) and anti-inflammatory (carrageenan induced paw edema in rats) activities at a dose level of 200 and 400 mg kg-1 body weight. Among all the extract/fractions, EtOAc fraction showed a dose dependent and significant (p<0.005, p<0.05) analgesic activity in all the tested method. EtOAc fractions also reduced the paw edema considerably (86.80% inhibition after 3 h, p<0.005, p<0.05) in dose dependent manner compared to carrageenan induced rat. Altogether, these results suggest that the MeOH extract and its organic soluble fractions could be used as a potential antioxidant, analgesic and anti-inflammatory agent
