This work investigated the effects of feeding whole pomegranate byproduct (WPB) to lambs on ruminal, liver, and intramuscular fatty acids (FA). Seventeen lambs, divided into two groups, were fed for 36 days with a cereal-based concentrate diet (CON) or containing 200 g/kg DM WPB partially replace barley corn (WPB). The dietary treatment did not affect final body carcass weight, dry matter intake, average daily gain. However, total polyunsaturated FA (PUFA), linolenic, rumenic (RA), vaccenic...
The hazelnut skin is waste biomass rich in bioactive compounds that may affect lipid rumen metabolism, ruminant performance, and products' quality. Therefore, we investigated the effect of dietary on milk production composition fatty acids ewes. During 28 days, 20 Comisana lactating ewes received alfalfa hay ad libitum plus 800g/head/day pelleted concentrate containing 36% dried beet pulp (CTRL group; n = 10) or (HS 10). protein percentage was lower HS milk. Milk (FA) partially reflected...
Fasciola hepatica is distributed worldwide, causing substantial economic losses in the animal husbandry industry. Human fasciolosis an emerging zoonosis Andean America, Asia, and Africa. The control of disease, both humans animals, based on using anthelmintic drugs, which has resulted increased resistance to most effective anthelmintics, such as triclabendazole, many countries. This, together with concerns about drug residues food environment, interest preventive measures a vaccine help...
The carotenoids and liposoluble vitamins in the plasma tissues of lambs under different maternal feedings fattening concentrates was studied. During lactation, 21 were housed with their dams, that received a total mixed ration (intensive); ewe–lamb pairs grazed on alfalfa; sainfoin. After weaning, half each feeding group commercial concentrate (control) other quebracho (Schinopsis balansae), as source condensed tannins, until they slaughtered (23 kg). analyte concentrations at weaning...
Sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia) and sulla (Hedysarum coronarium) are forage legumes usually preserved to optimize their utilization as feedstuffs. However, the method of preservation modifies chemical composition differently in both legume species. Secondary compounds (such proanthocyanidins, fatty acids, carotenoids tocopherols) present forages affect quality animal products. Therefore, effect on contents secondary should be investigated. Accoridngly, samples sainfoin were directly...
Alfalfa and sainfoin are high-quality forages with different condensed tannins (CT) content, which can be affected by the stage of maturity. To study effects CT on fermentation parameters, three substrates (alfalfa, sainfoin, sainfoin+PEG) at stages maturity were in vitro incubated for 72 h. Sainfoin had greater total polyphenol contents than alfalfa. As advanced, decreased (p < 0.05), except protein-bound fraction > 0.05). The gas methane production was neither substrate nor Overall,...
The primary population of small ruminants in Spain is concentrated the southern region, a critical area for country’s livestock production. Indirect economic losses can occur when this affected by gastrointestinal parasites. This study aimed to determine prevalence these parasites ruminant herds (159 sheep and 39 goats) through coprological analyses conducted survey on farmers’ management practices related parasite control. results revealed some important aspects: monitoring not common...
The inclusion of different proportions field pea (0%, 10%, 20% and 30%) for partially replacing soybean in the fattening concentrate lambs was studied its impact on apparent digestibility performance during fattening. In vivo trial, 12 (33 kg body weight) were placed metabolic crates two periods received restricted amounts straw. trial involved 54 (13.4 that plus straw ad libitum from weaning to slaughter. intake crude protein higher 0% group than other groups (p < 0.05). did not affect...
Ewes receive hay or graze on fresh pastures supplemented with concentrates to fulfil their lactation requirements. Quebracho (Schinopsis balansae) can be added change the ruminal fermentation. Fermentation parameters of forages alone and 70:30 forage:concentrate diets control quebracho concentrate were compared after 24 h in vitro incubation. Fresh forage produced less gas (p < 0.05) had greater IVOMD 0.001), ammonia (NH3-N) content, valeric acid, branched-chain volatile fatty acid...
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect proportion pea (0%, 10%, 20%, and 30%), as a partial replacement for soybean meal (SBM) in fattening concentrate, on ruminal fermentation lambs. Gas methane (CH
This research work focused on the prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii in wild boar from Sierra Morena region. We conducted an ELISA analysis using meat juice samples. A total 892 samples six hunting seasons (2013–2019) were collected provinces that constitute Mountain range. These analyzed Pigtype® kit, specifically developed for detecting T. juice. The overall was 23.2%. highest prevalences observed Córdoba (31.6%) and Jaén (25.9%). exhibit density as well greatest presence Iberian lynx (Lynx...
Fasciolosis is an important economic disease of livestock. There a global interest in the development protective vaccines since current anthelmintic therapy no longer sustainable. A better knowledge host–parasite interaction needed to design effective vaccines. To date, few studies have evaluated by comparing infected and reinfected animals. The present study evaluates microscopical hepatic lesions sheep with Fasciola hepatica during acute chronic stages infection. histopathological revealed...
Fasciolosis is a neglected tropical disease caused by helminth parasites of the genus Fasciola spp. including F. hepatica and gigantica being zoonotic major problem human animal health. Its control with antihelminthics becoming ineffective due to increase parasite resistances. To develop new therapeutic protocols crucial deeper knowledge about molecular bases in host-parasite interactions. The high-throughput omics technologies have dramatically provided unprecedented insights into...
In this study we show the results of eagle owls' (Bubo bubo) helminthfauna found in Andalusia. A total number 50 specimens have been analysed a period 10 years (from 2011 to 2020). Prevalence ( P% ), mean intensity (IM) and abundance (AM) parasitation obtained. The percentage sample was 80% (40 out owls): 78% nematodes, 8% trematodes, 6% cestodes 4% acantocephalans. 7 species helminths were identified: 6 1 trematode. case acantocephalans it not possible determine only genus identified....
