Abstract

Ruminant animals have significantly improved global food security, particularly in rural and semi-arid lands, where milk, meat, and wool are food producers, among other items. Their production and health may be altered by several environmental conditions. There is also critical exposure to heavy metals and trace elements. Oxidative stress is an important biological process that links environmental pollution to reduced physiological actions. The imbalance between reactive complimentary radicals and antioxidants causes cellular damage to essential tissues lowering growth and condition, affecting immune functions, and reducing ruminant reproductive efficiency. Lead increases reactive oxygen species production while reducing antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase and catalyze effectiveness, increasing the formation of several oxidative stress markers, including malondialdehyde. Molybdenum, however, is a trace element that helps activate several important enzymes in this study, including sulfur and purine metabolism aggravation. With a protective potential, it can have a dual role in oxidative stress: a beneficial for ruminant animals when applied the recommended doses and degradation: it can help and compromise other minerals while provided unreasonably. It analysis recent original research on the performance of ruminants based on current high-level research evidence concerning lead and molybdenum. Further, I will explain a physiological concept, groundbreaking research, and expert views to offer an explanation of how these two elements work and influence their oxidative balance in ruminants.

Abstract

Parasitic plants are specialized flowering plants that depend partially or completely on host plants for water and nutrients through specialized structures known as haustoria (“pipettes”). They are classified into holoparasites (Orobanche, Striga) and hemiparasites (Cuscuta, Rhinanthus minor). These species are widely distributed in arid and semi-arid regions and are responsible for substantial agricultural yield losses, sometimes reaching 100%. This review aims to summarize the distribution of major parasitic plant species, evaluate their economic impacts on agricultural production, and discuss integrated control strategies. A comprehensive literature review was conducted, compiling studies on the biology, ecology, host-parasite interactions, and management of parasitic plants. Control measures discussed include preventive, mechanical, chemical, biological, and biotechnological approaches, with special attention to host plant resistance mechanisms. Key parasitic plants identified as major agricultural threats include Cassytha filiformis, Cuscuta spp., Striga spp., Rhamphicarpa fistulosa, and Agalinis purpurea. These species significantly reduce the productivity of cereals, legumes, and vegetable crops. Integrated management strategies, including herbicide application, biological control, and development of resistant varieties, have shown potential effectiveness. Resistance mechanisms involve inhibition of parasite seed germination, prevention of haustorial penetration, and restriction of parasite growth after attachment.

Abstract

Ruminant The study was conducted in an unheated plastic greenhouse at the University of Tikrit (2022–2023) to evaluate the effect of organic and mineral fertilizers on strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) productivity. Organic treatments included mushroom waste (M1), poultry manure (M2), and a control, combined with three NPK mineral fertilizer levels (0, 0.75, and 1 g L⁻¹). A randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications was used, and data were analyzed using L.S.D at the 0.05 probability level. Results showed that M1 produced the highest number of leaves (31.19 leaves plant⁻¹), compared to M2 (28.59) and the control (27.69). For mineral fertilization, 1 g L⁻¹ resulted in 30.25 leaves plant⁻¹, higher than 0.75 g L⁻¹ (26.22), while 0 g L⁻¹ gave 30.94. No significant interaction was found between organic and mineral fertilization for this trait. Average leaf area showed no significant differences among organic treatments (32.78–35.11 cm²) or mineral levels (33.89–34.67 cm²). Leaf nitrogen (0.996–1.334%) and phosphorus (0.11699–0.12213%) contents also showed no significant variation. In contrast, leaf potassium content was significantly affected. M2 recorded the highest value (1.643%), followed by M1 (1.375%), while the control gave the lowest (1.028%). For mineral fertilization, 0 g L⁻¹ (1.433%) outperformed 0.75 (1.363%) and 1 g L⁻¹ (1.303%). A significant interaction was observed for potassium content, with L.S.D values confirming the combined influence of organic and mineral fertilization.
