Besides its translational value, an improved understanding of dog longevity and mortality is necessary to guide health management decisions, breed selection, improve welfare. In order analyse the lifespan dogs in Italy, identify most common causes death, evaluate possible risk factors, anonymised medical records were collected from 9 veterinary teaching hospitals 2 public institutions. Data regarding breed, sex, neuter status, age, diagnosis, mechanism death retrieved. Cause (COD) was...
The present study aimed to investigate whether acute pain associated with castration and tail docking of male piglets may modulate the expression salivary microRNAs (miRNAs) explore their potential use as biomarkers. Thirty-six healthy 4-d-old (Hermitage × Duroc) were randomly assigned three groups: first group (12 piglets) has been pretreated anesthetic anti-inflammatory drugs (ANA) then castrated docked; second one docked without any (CONV); third only handled (SHAM). Saliva was collected...
Information on slaughter procedures for farmed fish in aquaculture is limited, both Europe and Italy, due to a general lack of field data. The aim this study was gather information the used Italy discuss them considering WOAH EFSA recommendations welfare. Using questionnaire survey, data were collected by official veterinarians 64 slaughtering facilities where 20 different species slaughtered. main slaughtered rainbow trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss ; 29/64), followed European sea bass...
Ensuring animal welfare is a key aspect of management in zoological facilities and aquaria, representing pivotal facet their mission. Italy currently lacks comprehensive valuable assessment methodology for evaluating the captive animals. To address this gap, present study aimed to identify most important criteria that should be considered animals housed Italian zoos aquaria. pinpoint issue, we engaged experts with diverse backgrounds, structuring communication throughout an iterative...
Abstract Background It is now well established that factors (free or in extracellular vesicles) secreted by mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) are important mediators of MSC regenerative actions. Herein we produced the secretome (conditioned medium, CM) from isolated amniotic membrane (hAMSC) and CM intact (hAM, no manipulation enzymatic digestion) order to potentially identify an effective, easy less expensive produce for potential applications medicine. Given immunomodulation a key mechanism...
The presence of Salmonella spp. in dairy cattle farms poses a major risk to animal health and welfare. This study focused on detection located the Cremona Mantua provinces (northern Italy) samples collected submitted laboratories 2021–2022. A total 2710 from different sources, including calf carcasses/organs (n = 128), rectal swabs 1937), feces 390), bulk milk 93), overshoes/swabs 127) for environmental sampling, were analyzed included present study. Our results indicate that was most...
Monitoring animal welfare (AW) in pig farms requires both proper indicators and a feasible approach. Animal-based measures (ABMs) are well-established AW indicators. Furthermore, screening at the slaughterhouses could be useful for identifying problems on farm. The aim of this study was to evaluate ABMs slaughterhouse and, when possible, compare these with those collected carried out northern Italy commercial abattoir sample farms. were recorded pigs from 62 batches 54 farms, during...
