Abomasal hypomotility plays an important role in pathogenesis of some abomasal disorders such as abomasal bloat which has the same serious side effects associated with using synthetic drugs for its treatment, such as diarrhea and antibiotic resistance. To decreasing these side effects, administration of herbal medicine is a good way.

To determine the effect of oral administration of turmeric aqueous extract on rate of abomasal emptying rate in neonatal lambs.

This study was conducted on twelve five-day-old Sangsari-female-lambs (average weight 3 kg). All lambs received five oral treatments, including saline (30 ml), erythromycin (400 mg), turmeric 200 mg/kg, turmeric 250 mg/kg, and turmeric 300 mg/kg, respectively. At 0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, and 240 minutes after each treatment, plasma samples of lambs were taken. The rate of abomasal emptying was determined with acetaminophen absorption test.

Treatment with erythromycin and three different doses of aqueous extract of turmeric (200, 250, 300 mg/kg) increased the rate of abomasal emptying in comparison to the negative control treatment, significantly (P<0.05). The stimulatory effect of erythromycin on abomasal emptying was higher than aquatic extract of turmeric, significantly (P<0.05). No clinical side effects were observed following the administration of erythromycin and turmeric in lambs.

This study showed that aqueous extract of turmeric has a stimulatory effect on lamb's abomasal emptying but more studies are needed on the effect of this plant’s components on abomasal emptying.

Abomasal hypomotility plays an important role in pathogenesis of some abomasal disorders such as abomasal bloat that there are same serious side effects associated with using synthetic drugs for its treatment, such as diarrhea and antibiotic resistance and for decreasing these side effects, administration of herbal medicine can be appropriate approach. Evaluating effect of Folus fruit aqueous extract on lamb,s abomasal emptying is goal of this study. This study was conducted on twelve five-day-olds Sangsari-female-lamb (average weight 4 kg). lambs received five oral treatments including salin (30ml), Eeythromycin (400 mg), Folus (700 mg/kg), Folus (750 mg/kg) and Folus (800 mg/kg), respectively Acetaminophen absorption test was used to evaluating the rate of abomasal emptying. After drawing relational model between plasma Acetaminophen concentration and time with regression method showed that treating with erythromycin and three different doses of aqueous extract of Folus fruit (700, 750, 800 mg/kg) increased the rate of abomasal emptying in comparison to the negative control, significantly (P<0.05). No clinical side effects were observed following the administration of erythromycin and Folus in lambs. This study showed that aqueous extract of Folus fruit has a stimulatory effect on lamb's abomasal emptying but more studies are needed on the effect of this plant components on abomasal emptying.

Evaluating effect of Bunium persicum L on lamb,s abomasal emptying is goal of this study. This study was conducted on twelve five-day-olds Sangsari-female-lamb (average weight 4 kg). lambs received five oral treatments including salin (30ml), Eeythromycin (100 mg/kg), Carwey (0.4 gr/kg), Carwey (0.6 gr/kg) and Carwey (0.8 gr/kg), respectively. Acetaminophen absorption test was used to evaluating the rate of abomasal emptying. After drawing relational model between plasma Acetaminophen concentration and time with regression method showed that treating with erythromycin and different levels of aqueous extract of Carwey seed (0.4, 0.6 and 0.8 g/kg) increased the rate of abomasal emptying in comparison to the negative control, significantly (P<0.05). The stimulatory effect of erythromycin on abomasal emptying was higher than aquatic extract of Carwey seed, significantly (P<0.05). No clinical side effect were observed following the administration of erythromycin and Carwey in lambs. This study showed that aqueous extract of Carwey seed has a stimulatory effect on lamb's abomasal emptying but more studies are needed on the effect of this seed,s components on abomasal emptying.

Today, assessing the presence of preservatives in food are important measures to ensure food safety. Potassium sorbate is one of the most usual preservatives that acceptable in some of food for suppressing mold spoilage. In this research sorbate was measured in several industrial fruit juices to make a comparison between spectrophotometry and HPLC assays and consequently to examine the reliability of spectrophotometry data. Although the methods were optimized by maximum speed, attention, reduction of solvent consumption. A total of 28 samples of industrial fruit juices was collected and analyzed. The results showed that all of the fruit juices contained potassium sorbate. Highest level of sorbate was determined in pomegranate juice which was estimated at 7.22, 1.23 ppm by spectrophotometer and HPLC, respectively. The high level of sorbate in spectrophotometry method is related to interference of some material due to their absorbance ability of UV-visible ray. The comparison of spectrophotometry and HPLC data showed that in spite of simplicity and low cost of spectrophotometry, it did not have efficiency to determine the exact amount of sorbate. Moreover, due to the presence of sorbate in industrial fruit juices, it is necessary to strictly monitor sorbate concentration in foods.
