Abstract

The importance of Psidium guajava has long been reported in ethnomedicine. Traditional medicine is practiced all over the world and is significant most especially in indigenous groups due to the poor accessibility to conventional medicine in the area. Furthermore, this type of medical approach is costly, and antibiotic resistance has been a serious issue ever since. The scientific community, therefore, studies good alternatives such as plant-derived extracts to treat various illnesses and diseases, which are known to be less expensive in terms of preparation, have fewer side effects, and be the less potential promoters of antibiotic resistance. One of the most encountered conditions in veterinary medicine is a wound. The review collated and presented studies, research, experiments, and other published materials that proved the antibacterial properties of P. guajava leaf extract, which causes the wound healing activities of the extract. P. guajava leaf extract is an effective alternative to commercially available drugs in treating wounds of laboratory animals and could potentially be effective in the larger scope of animals in the future.

Abstract

The increasing global population poses a problem in achieving food security. Poultry is one of the major animal protein sources for humans and the main difficulty of the poultry industry is seeking a suitable protein alternative to be integrated into poultry feed. Black soldier fly larvae (BSF) (Hermetia illucens) are one of the edible insects that are a great solution to this problem since they have various advantages, which include bioconversion of different organic wastes and the absence of competition for human resources. Several studies have already examined the effects of the addition of BSF larvae in the poultry diet, and most suggested that it is a promising alternative protein source that can replace soy or fish meal. The BSF larvae can also be used in different species of poultry, such as ducks, turkeys, and quails. However, there are several barriers to using BSF larvae as a feed ingredient in poultry feed, such as safety, price, and consumer acceptance. Despite these obstacles, BSF larvae production is still a promising industry due to the numerous benefits it brings.

Abstract

The house fly, Musca domestica, is a notorious veterinary pest that has developed resistance to insecticides. One approach to address this concern is by mixing insecticides to overcome resistance and accelerate pest management. This study was conducted to evaluate the larvicidal efficacy of the abamectin and pyriproxyfen binary mixture against M. domestica larvae, based on its ability to reduce larval populations and inhibit pupal formation. The study was conducted in the UPLB VTH Experimental Poultry House. Forty-five boxes, each containing 500 larvae, were distributed across five treatment groups, with nine replicates per treatment. The treatments consisted of distilled water (T1), low-concentration pyriproxyfen (T2), high-concentration pyriproxyfen (T3), low-concentration abamectin-pyriproxyfen binary mixture (T4), and high-concentration abamectin-pyriproxyfen binary mixture (T5). The treatments were applied to each box on days 0 and 7, and the number of live larvae and pupae was recorded on days 7 and 14. On day 7, T5 achieved the highest larval reduction of 88.49%, which was significantly higher than the other treatments. By day 14, T3, T4, and T5 exhibited comparable larval reduction with no significant differences among them. In terms of day 7 pupal inhibition, T5 had the highest inhibition at 95.75%, followed closely by T3 and T4, with no significant difference among the three. By day 14, T5 again had the highest effect at 95.26%, with T3 and T4 also showing similarly strong results. The results of this study highlight the potential of the abamectin-pyriproxyfen binary mixture as a tool in managing house fly populations. However, the lack of significant differences between the binary mixture and the high-concentration pyriproxyfen suggested that the enhanced efficacy was not substantial.
