This study was conducted for the production of probiotics for poultry birds from spore forming Bacillus species and its efficacy on poultry birds. For this purpose soil samples were collected from all over Pakistan to isolate spore forming Bacillus bacteria by heat shock method. Total 120 soil samples were collected. On the basis of morphological characteristics colonies were considered. Further, various biochemical tests were carried out and 120 colonies were confirmed as Bacillus species. Some physical tests were also conducted like growth of isolates on different pH, time period, different concentrations of NaCl and different temperatures. The isolates showing more growth and colony forming unit CFU/ml at same parameters like pH, time, temperature, inoculums size and age, were selected. Thus 3 isolates were selected on priority basis which gave more CFU and activity against Micrococcus leuteus but three other strains which gave nearest growth to first 3 selected isolates were also selected for safe side and future use. Species level determination was carried out by ribotyping in which 16S rDNA was amplified, sequenced and verified through BLAST. Out of 6 isolates, strain Zii12 Bacillus licheniformis accession No. KT443923 was finally selected for probiotics production on the basis of biochemical tests, physiological tests, molecular identification, antibacterial activity against bacteria (Micrococcus leuteus) and number of CFU/ml. In shake flask method 1 (g) cell mass per liter of Bacillus licheniformis KT443923 with antibiotic activity (22.37 mm zone of inhibition and CFU 5.1 × 1010 ) was obtained but in scale up studies where we used batch fermentation method, it was 4 gm per liter, 3 times enhancement. The bacterial culture was centrifuged and lyophilized; the product in dried powdered form was indicated in grams. The activity and CFU/g were re checked the results were same as before. Now the product was supplemented in the poultry feed to check its efficacy, for this purpose two different types of poultry trials were conducted. For rural poultry trials, aseel birds were used and growth parameters and mortality were studied. The encouraging results with increased body weights (g) for birds fed with feed supplemented with probiotics in comparison to antibiotic and control group. After six weeks the results obtained in three groups 197.48±5.11, 172.48±5.81, 146.98±4.86, weight gain (g) 156.15±4.96, 132.25±5.56, 106.69±4.80, folds of weight gain 4.82±0.14, 20 4.34±0.16, 3.72±0.14, Feed intake (g) 711.46±22.58, 653.92±29.74, 595.79±28.94, feed conversion ratio FCR 4.57±0.25, 4.92±0.24, 5.55±0.34, mortality 0.28, 0.84, 1.25% respectively. In another trial of commercial broiler (Cobb 500) strain was used. Growth performance, mortality, slaughtering characteristics, histology, blood parameters and prevalence of pathogens in broiler meat were studied. In commercial broiler, best results obtained in birds that were fed with feed supplemented with probiotic. At the age of 5th weeks, body weight (g) of broiler birds fed with feed supplemented with probiotic, antibiotic and control were 2155.11±30.79, 1978.40±57.02, 1840±0.71; total weight gain 2133.98±36.90, 1946.12±63.00, 1805.23±24.50 feed intake (g) 3305.96±11.44, 3370.05±44.15, 3496.67±8.17 maximum folds of weight gain 4.50±0.02, 4.23±0.14, 4.32±0.10 FCR 1.47±0.03, 1.64±0.03, 1.86±0.01 mortality 0, 0.74, 1.48% respectively. After a successful study, 54 birds were slaughtered according to their body size and sex wise. Live weight, slaughtered weight, dressed weight, pancreas weight and heart weight of high body size was high in males that used feed supplemented with probiotic. No difference was found in bursa weight of all the slaughtered birds. Gizzard, liver, spleen and weight and intestinal among all groups was approximately not significant. Less abdominal fat (17.50±0.84 g) was observed in probiotic group. pH of small intestine was almost not significant in birds of al groups. Blood parameters results were also satisfactory. Cholesterol level in probiotic group was very low (119.07±0.44 mg/dl) in comparison with other groups. Pathogens like E.coli, Campylobacter and Salmonella were not found in the meat of probiotic groups but low or high percentage was found in other groups. High villus length of ileum (1439.11±22.83 mm) was also found in probiotic group. Similarly, maximum quantity of goblet cells (167.55±4.55) was found in the ileum of probiotic group. The manure of all type of treated birds was applied separately to lentil crop to check the efficacy of every group. Maximum growth of plant and high seed yield (1243.93±8.99 kg ha-1) was found in probiotic treated plots. Less or nil pathogen prevalence was found in probiotic group manure and soil. Bacillus licheniformis probiotic was concluded as the better feed additive for poultry as compare to antibiotic.

The Genesis of Shi’ism in Islam

Like other major religions of the world, sectarian division took place in Islam too. The major cause of this sectarian division was political in its nature rather than religious. Immediately after the demise of the Holy Prophet (SAW), believers were divided over the question of succession to the Prophet (SAW) which later on culminated in the shape of two sectarian factions i.e. Sunni and Shi‘ah. The present paper will give a complete account of the genesis of Islamic sects including the events that directly intensified shi’ism  in Islam.

Impact of Using Mathematics Software on Students Learning Achievements at Elementary Level

The aim of the study was to investigate the impact of mathematics software on students learning achievements. To accomplish this purpose four research questions were imposed addressing the effect of different treatments conditions. These questions were further disintegrated into ten null hypotheses, addressing the effectiveness of mathematics software instructional method, teacher facilitated mathematics software instruction and traditional instruction (Independent variable) through achievement test (Dependent variable). The study was completed in two phases. In the first phase mathematics software for imparting instruction to Experimental-I and Experimental-II groups was developed in three content areas (Integers, Algebra and Geometry) for 6 th grade. Initially the researcher divided the contents into teaching units and modifies it to make it compatible with technology. Each teaching unit contained some material presented in the form of text, and then examples were given in order to further elaborate the concept. Afterward some exercises with step by step feedback were provided to the users and finally assessments were given to the students. These developed units were given to a team of software developers; they develop a program as per instructional design provided by the researcher. After completing the coding, the program (software) was piloted on 40 students of 6 th grade. On the other hand to ensure the quality it was given to the software quality supervisor, user interface designer and programmer to report the quality of the program. On the basis of students and experts opinion the software program was revised. viiiThe second phase of the study was experimental. To investigate the impact of developed software on students’ achievements, 312 students in four randomly selected schools of Punjab, one from each stratum were placed under three treatment conditions. The first group served the purpose of control group and was taught by traditional method of instruction. The second group (Experimental-I) was treated by mathematics software instruction, in this group the role of teacher was passive and teacher only monitored the progress and maintained the discipline in the classroom. In third group (Experimental-II) the role of teacher was to facilitate the students when they were working on program. 78 Sixth grade students of each selected school were randomly selected, and assigned to three treatment conditions after pre-testing. The intervention lasted for ten weeks, at the end, the students were post tested. An achievement test in the three content areas was developed considering three cognitive levels of revised Bloom’s taxonomy. Test was developed according to the specification and piloted to 500 students for reliability and was validated through experts, an attitude scale to measure the students liking of mathematics accompanied test. ANOVA was run to analyze the data; on pre-test score showing equality of groups. On post-test score ANOVA results indicated significant difference between groups, Scheffe, post hoc test highlighted that Experimental-II group outperformed the remaining two groups. Across gender comparison showed again the enhanced performance of Experimental-II group and across local analysis also revealed the same fact. Therefore, the researcher concluded that teacher facilitated mathematics software instruction may be a better instructional method. The researcher recommended more research in the field with different population and different subject areas.
