Abstract: Uncontrolled antibiotic use lead to increasing the level of resistant bacterial species. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are one of the few alternatives in the fight with everyday growing bacterial resistance to commonly used antibiotics. AMPs general application could be also as endotoxin neutralizing agents or as an adjuvants to regular antimicrobial therapy. In this review we were focused on the most recent data that concern the diverse use of AMPs, their activities and modes of actions.

Abstract: According to the World Health Organization plants are one of the best sources to obtain a huge variety of biologically active compounds. Human population during centuries has used plants and plants extracts in ethno medicine to cure wide range of diseases. In the scope of modern methods of isolation and purification of different plant substances, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) give us the opportunity to have a new ally in the fight with different microbial pathogens. Possible future uses of AMPs derived from plants could be either as a new class of anti-infective medications or as bio-preservatives in foods and beverages.

Abstract: Progress of production in dairy cattle is frequently considered possible by either improving the genetic merit and/or by husbandry practices. The aim of the research is to evaluation of productive and reproductive performance of dairy cows considering genotype was undertaken in greater Rajshahi from July, 2007 to June, 2009. A total 335 farmers data and 671 numbers of cows were considered for assessed in the local (L), Local x Friesian (LF), Local x Sahiwal (LS),Local × Friesian× Sahiwal(LFS) and Local × Jersey (LJ) dairy cows raised in randomly selected smallholder dairy farms and Duncan multiple range test for statistical significance. The overall mean values of age at puberty (month), age at first service, age at first calving (month), service per conception (s/c), post-partum heat period (days), days open (days), wastage days (days), gestation length (days), milk yield per day (liter), lactation length (days), milk yield per lactation (liter), weaning period (days), dry period (days), calving interval (days) and birth weight of calves (kg) were 26.37±.22, 26.56±0.23, 37.84±0.25, 1.43±.36, 85.83±1.57, 117.85±2.35, 13.33±1.02, 279.90±.33, 5.35±.12, 277.00±1.73, 1390.45±33.50, 213.21±2.35, 91.34±1.47, 398.81±2.34 and 22.51±.21, respectively in different genotypes of cows. Considering the overall performance it could be concluded that Local×Sahiwal×Friesian (LSF) crossbred cows are more suitable for sustainable and profitable dairy farming in greater Rajshahi region.
