🚨 Parasites in city cats? It's more common than you'd think!

A new study across 5 cities in Kazakhstan found that nearly 1 in 5 cats, including pets and strays, were carrying parasites like Toxocara, Giardia, or Toxoplasma. These aren’t just bad for cats, they can infect humans too, especially children. 😿🧒

💬 How often do you think cats in your city get screened for parasites?

Can a tropical plant 🌱 really help treat diabetes?

A new study says yes. Scientists reviewed 16 experiments and found that Mucuna pruriens not only lowers blood sugar levels, but it also helps fix damaged organs like the pancreas, liver, and even the pituitary gland 🧠

Smaller doses worked best over longer periods. And the seeds were more powerful than the leaves 🌾

This could be a huge step forward for natural diabetes treatments.

🐶💉 Can a vaccine alone stop rabies?

Not always. In Indonesia, the fight against rabies goes far beyond injections.

This new study reveals how community trust, cultural understanding, and even tools like WhatsApp are shaping the future of rabies control.
It’s a reminder that science works best when people are part of the solution.

🐔🌿 Can we raise healthier chickens without synthetic hormones?

A new review says yes, and the solution might come from nature itself.

Researchers found that natural substances from clamshells, plant extracts, and minerals like zinc can help chickens produce more testosterone. This helps them grow better and stay fertile without the risks that come from synthetic hormones.

This could be a big step toward safer, more sustainable chicken farming.

🔎 Can a natural probiotic do the job of antibiotics in poultry?

🐔 A new study published in Veterinary World explored exactly that. Researchers challenged broiler chickens with avian pathogenic E. coli and instead of antibiotics, they gave them Lacticaseibacillus paracasei.

The outcome was clear: birds grew faster, had stronger antioxidant defenses, healthier cholesterol levels, and didn’t require antibiotic growth promoters at all.
