Construction and operation of a dispersive laser raman spectrograph using interference filter

A dispersive laser Raman system was designed and constructed using a helium-neon (He-Ne) laser as an excitation source, and an interference filter in the reflection mode for Raleigh filtering instead of the more common holographic notch filter. A commercially available spectrograph equipped with a cooled CCD camera was used to acquire the Raman spectra. The constructed laser Raman spectrograph was found to have excellent performance and sensitivity. Stokes Raman spectra of some common chemicals were acquired by the system, and the wavelengths of spectral lines agreed well with the literature values, within experimental error. The useful spectral range of the system is about 200-4000 cm-1. It was also possible to acquire anti-Stokes Raman spectra of one chemical (CCl4) without much difficulty. We hope to use the system for chemical identification of molecules as well as quantitative chemical analysis. To our knowledge, this is the first laser Raman system constructed in Bangladesh.
Retrospective case study of livestock diseases recorded at Fulbaria upazila veterinary hospital in Mymensingh district of Bangladesh
(angladesh Journal of Animal Science, 2024-12-31) Akter, R; Soltana, T; Nisa, N; Rahman, T; Islam, MR; Hossain, MM; Alam, J
The present study was undertaken to find out the suspected livestock cases recorded in upazila veterinary hospital from October 1, 2021, to November 30, 2022. The data were collected from the registered book that was maintained at the upazila livestock office. We found that cattle, goats, chickens, ducks, and pigeons were common livestock species taken to veterinary hospitals. We also found that clinical cases of animals were treated based on clinical history, clinical signs, and physical examination and diseases were grouped as infectious and non-infectious diseases in cattle and goats, diseases of chicken, duck, and pigeons. The relative ratio of occurrence of lumpy skin diseases and peste des petitis ruminants was high among other infectious diseases in cattle and goats respectively. By contrast, the relative ratio of occurrences of non-infectious bloat was high among other non-infectious diseases in cattle and goats. We also found that clinical cases in poultry were treated based on clinical history, clinical signs, physical examination, and postmortem examination and were grouped as diseases in chickens, ducks, and pigeons. The relative ratio of occurrences of visceral gout, duck viral enteritis, and pigeon pox was high among other diseases in chicken, duck, and pigeon, respectively, during the study period. In summary, the findings have indicated the various clinical cases, diagnoses, treatment approaches, and incidence in livestock species at Fulbaria Upazila Veterinary Hospital of Mymensingh district of Bangladesh.
Sensory and Physico-Chemical Quality Evaluation of Traditional, Improved and Commercially Dried Puntius sophore
(Faculty of Animal Science and Veterinary Medicine, Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, 2022-07) Islam, MR; Baten, MA; Newaz, AW
ABSTRACT To evaluate the sensory and physical-chemical qualities of traditional, improved, and commercial dried punti (Puntius sophore), an experiment was conducted. Fresh punti fish was procured and dried for this purpose utilizing both traditional (TD) and improved methods (ID). Commercially dried (CD) punti fish was also procured from regional markets. The sensory evaluation of the improved dried products revealed that they were of higher grade than both commercial- and tradition-style dried punti fish. According to the findings, enhanced dried punti rehydrated more quickly than traditional and storebought dry punti. The dried punti's moisture content ranged from 14.20.45% (commercial dried punti) to 22.50.8% (improved dried punti). When compared to traditional and commercial dried fish, improved dried fish had the highest levels of crude protein, crude fat, and ash. After 30 days of storage, market dried punti was found to be infested with insects. However, it was discovered that both traditional and improved dried punti remained pest-free for up to 120 days of storage. The results indicated that the improved drying techniques produced the best dried fish product in terms of sensory, physico-chemical, and food safety aspects.
