Abstract: The plants such as Quassia indica and Vitex negundo showed anthelmintic property. In this work aqueous leaf extracts of Quassia indica and Vitex negundo were combined and formulated into a suppository. Suppositories are inserted directly into the rectum to distribute their active constituent to internal areas. It is used as anthelmintic for helminthiasis. Extraction was done by maceration technique using chloroform water as solvent. Moulding was used for the preparation of suppositories, which were evaluated for their physicochemical properties and in vitro drug release characteristics. Suppositories which contain polyethylene glycol (PEG) 4000 and surfactant tween 80 showed better permeation of drug and action.

Keywords: Quassia indica, Vitex negundo, Maceration, Suppository, PEG 4000, Tween 80.

Abstract: Safe and healthy milk production and consumption is a major concern and the adoption of food safety measures at farm level can play a critical role in ensuring the quality and safety of milk. The current study aimed at examining the factors affecting the assessment of acceptance or rejection rates for milk produced by smallholders in Basra Governorate, as the data collection was approved by a survey that included 53 farms concentrated in the north and center of Basra Governorate. The primary data was collected according to a comprehensive schedule that covered all the information required for the study using a data collection form. The first part of the study dealt with the aspect related to the social and economic characteristics and assets related to livestock. While the second part of the research dealt with standing on the aspects of the farm, which included the type and number of animals in the farm, the average production of milk and how to market it from the milking stage to the selling stage. This period (the stage of animal disease and the stage of taking treatments), in addition to that, the cleanliness of the place designated for milking and the milk storage area. The study concluded that there is a low level about clean milk production practices in Basra Governorate, as not all breeders take into account the periodic examination of animals, as well as a decrease in the level of some important factors for the production of clean milk, most notably the cleanliness of pots by using detergents and the use of clean customized clothes when milking as well as milking livestock near the Animals. The study also recommends that the relevant authorities follow up on the practices of clean milk production, educate the breeders about the methods of clean milking, and visit the animals periodically at the veterinary hospital to check the health of the milking animals.

Abstract: This study aim to evaluate the remediation of heavy metals contaminated soils in Port Harcourt environment. Four samples from four locations within the foreshore were investigated for four months. The findings from the parameters analysed show SEM values of pH as 7.60±0.10, Temperature 30.25±0.25, Total hydrocarbon content 47.08±6.71, Zinc 6.82±0.51, Lead 0.35±0.06, Cadmium 0.0025±0.0009, Copper 0.08±0.01, Nickel 0.05±0.01mg/kg, respectively in diesel contaminated soils when compared with the SEM values of control. The effect of contaminated  and treated soils on heavy metals reveal that soils contaminated with diesel (P1) and spent oil (P2) show increase in SEM values when compared with control. However, there was a decrease in the concentration of heavy metals when soils polluted with Diesel were treated with NaNO₃ + K₃PO₄ (T1), and with NH₄NO₃ + K₃PO₄ (T2), respectively. Similarly, soils polluted with spent oil and treated with NaNO₃ + K₃PO₄ (T3), and the others treated with NH₄NO₃ + K₃PO₄ (T4) also showed a decrease in the concentration of heavy metals, respectively. It was therefore concluded that impact of heavy metals on soils aggravated by oil spills was remediated by the application of sodium nitrate/Potassium phosphate or Ammonium nitrate/Potassium phosphate, thus establishing the fact that these chemicals can serve as a good option in any remediation process of the soil. However, Ten Percent Sodium nitrate/One Percent Potassium phosphate (10% NaNO₃ + 1% K₃PO₄₎ remediated better than Ten Percent Ammonium nitrate/One Percent Potassium phosphate (10% NH₄NO₃ +1% K₃PO₄) and was more economical for the remediation of heavy metals.
