​​​​We try in this group to offer bachelor students the chance to help in th ongoing research, some of the students have already helped in the work of the ongoing projects, we also try to illustrate the importance of research in the teaching process, some of the master students have helped in my research like Said Abo Al sondos, who is currently a masters student

  • This was the title of a paper published by a pHD student: Ola Mahasneh Effect of Yeast Cell Wall on Gut Health, Immunity and Milk Production of Dairy Cattle in Normal and Heat Stress Conditions. Review
  • Article abstract: This review focuses on the most recent literature to bring to light the major beneficial effects of the yeast cell wall (YCW) and its products on dairy cattle. These products include viable yeast, yeast culture, nutritional yeast, and fractionated yeast products. The yeast cell wall is one of these products and belongs to the fractionated yeast products used to promote production performance and health in dairy cows.  The yeast and YCW were proven to have positive impacts on dairy cattle performance in terms of milk yield, milk components, and overall quality. As well, these products showed beneficial effects under heat stress conditions.  The YCW is a natural fermentation derivative of yeast cells such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae species consists mainly of β-glucan (29% to 64%), mannan (31%), and some other compounds like protein (13%), lipids (9%), chitin (1–2%) with β-glucan and mannan being the main bioactive molecules. The mode of action through which YCW elicit their beneficial functions in dairy cow explain their effect on cows' metabolism and digestion, immunity, rumen and intestine health, and subsequent performance and well-being. These modes of action include improving gastrointestinal (GI) tract health, stimulating immune system components as it is considered an immunomodulator additive, mycotoxin binding ability, and improving antioxidant capacity. Therefore, yeast and YCW products are one of the promising areas of ruminant nutrition in dairy cows, not only because of their nutritional and health benefits to dairy cows but also due to their negligible residual effects on dairy cows’ bodies and products.

  • A master student: (Marwan Al Halabi) finished his work, which was about prebiotics against poultry coccidiosis.​ The title of his thesis was (Effect of dietary supplementation of Bacillus strains on growth performance, immune response, and meat quality in broiler chickens infected with coccidiosis)​.

Prebiotics offer a promising alternative or complementary strategy for the management of poultry coccidiosis. By improving gut health, modulating the immune system, and outcompeting pathogens, prebiotics can help reduce the severity of the disease, improve poultry growth performance, and contribute to overall better health outcomes. However, further research is needed to optimize their application, determine the best types and dosages for specific poultry breeds, and evaluate long-term effects on poultry health and productivity.​

  • A Phd student has proposed a work that could be related to ourresearch group work, Cryptosporidiosis is a significant parasitic disease causing diarrhea and gastroenteritis in humans and animals worldwide. The protozoan parasite Cryptosporidium infects the epithelial cells of the gastrointestinal tract, leading to damage and symptoms ranging from mild to severe diarrhea. The infection spreads through oocysts excreted in feces,​
