An examination of mycoflora and related mycotoxins was completed from dried market tests of stem segments of Tinospora cordifolia, a significant therapeutic plant of India. These examples were gathered from different discount and retail shops of eight regions of Jammu and Kashmir state viz., Kathua, Jammu, Udhampur, Rajouri, Poonch, Doda, Srinagar and Leh. A sum of 39 contagious species speaking to 18 genera were recouped by utilizing surface washing system. Evaluation of mycobial heap of T. cordifolia demonstrated the nearness of numerous such contagious species that are generally recognized as the most significant mycotoxin makers. Examinations of tests for mycotoxin tainting was finished by multi-mycotoxin discovery strategy. The dried examples of Tinospora cordifolia were distinguished to be polluted with aflatoxin B1, aflatoxin B2, ochratoxin A, patulin and citrinin. Among the different mycotoxins distinguished, aflatoxins were available in greatest number of tests, which is presumably in light of the fact that Aspergillus flavus was recouped from all the examined tests. In any case, fusarial species and their poisons were not recognized from the examined tests.

Development of the freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) area in Bangladesh since 1970s has been upheld by common accessibility of freshwater apple snail (Pila globosa), utilized for on-ranch prawn sustains. The present examination distinguished the momentum setup of the worth chain advantages and limitations of freshwater apple snail in south-western Bangladesh in August 2011, in view of Fast Market Evaluation (RMA) approach. The site of snail accumulation was Chanda Beel in Gopalganj locale, while exchanging, preparing and last utilization was spoken to by Rayer Mahal Bazar in Khulna area. There were seven unique hubs perceived all through the worth chain. Snail promoting was recognized as a regular business and occurred during June to November every year. Somewhere in the range of 1995 and 2011 the cost of entire snail, meat and shell has expanded by 800%, 325% and 315%, separately. The bounty of snail had been diminished and its interest has expanded because of the development of the prawn cultivating industry. Prawn ranchers favored snail meat because of its ease (US$ 0.21 kg-1) as a wellspring of protein contrasted with business prawn feed (US$ 0.41 kg-1). Snail collecting and handling were considered as extra employment choices for poor people, where 60% of the work engaged with snail reaping were ladies, and 95% the de-shelling workforce. Prompted reproducing in bondage and economical administration in nature just as improvement of business generation of apple snails may decrease the weight on environments and decidedly added to the proceeded with extension of freshwater prawn cultivating in Bangladesh.
