Greater Amman Municipality:

Greater Amman Municipality is the municipality of the Jordanian capital, Amman, which is responsible for providing public services to citizens in the city in various fields such as licensing, hygiene, and numbering, as well as in the cultural, tourism, sports, and children's programs, among others.

Joint Research with Greater Amman Municipality Slaughterhouse Department

A collaborative research project was conducted with the Greater Amman Municipality Slaughterhouse Department. Tissue and blood samples from broilers were collected and transported to the College of Agriculture, where they were examined in the group laboratory.

The specific aims of the project were:

To analyze tissue and blood samples for the detection of coccidiosis and subclinical infections and health markers in broilers.
To identify the prevalence and impact of specific diseases affecting broilers, such as coccidiosis, necrotic enteritis, and Marek’s disease.
To develop data-driven insights to improve biosecurity and disease management practices in broiler production.

This study focused on detecting subclinical infections, including coccidiosis, necrotic enteritis, and Marek's disease, in broiler chickens. The objective was to determine the prevalence of subclinical necrotic enteritis caused by Clostridium perfringens and Marek's disease.

For C. perfringens, 100 blood samples were collected from 20 intensive poultry broiler farms between June 2020 and September 2020. Intestinal samples were also examined, revealing varying degrees of intestinal lesions, scored on a scale from 0 (normal) to 3 (severe necrosis). Blood samples were analyzed using an ELISA kit to detect antibodies against C. perfringens.

This research contributed valuable insights into the prevalence and pathology of these subclinical infections, with findings published in the International Journal of Veterinary Science. You can access the full paper here.

A joint research project is being planned with the private sector in Jordan to explore the anticoccidial effects of some nanoherbal extracts and to explore their effects as alternatives against poultry coccidiosis.

Nanoscience in Herbal Medicine
Nanoscience has revolutionized herbal medicine by enhancing the bioavailability, stability, and therapeutic efficacy of herbal compounds. It involves the use of nanotechnology to process, deliver, and optimize bioactive compounds derived from plants, addressing limitations such as poor solubility, degradation, and low absorption rates.

Applications of Nanoscience in Herbal Medicine (Nanoformulations of Herbal Extracts)

Improved Solubility: Many herbal compounds (e.g., curcumin) have poor water solubility. Nanoencapsulation enhances their solubility, improving absorption and bioavailability.
Controlled Release: Nanocarriers enable the sustained release of herbal compounds, providing prolonged therapeutic effects.
Protection from Degradation: Encapsulation in nanoparticles protects sensitive herbal compounds from oxidation, enzymatic degradation, and light-induced damage.

In the moment we are making a trial to make a joint project through Partnership with Pakistan agricultural research council, where we ha have proposed a joint project to be held and started in Pakistan through Dr.Bilal working in the Pakistan agricultural council.
