The use of phytogenic extracts is considered a sustainable strategy for the prevention fish diseases, including Alliaceae as potential option due to their variety bioactive compounds. In this study, we analyzed antibacterial and antiparasitic propyl-propane-thiosulfinate (PTS) propyl-propane-thiosulfonate (PTSO) from onions. in vitro activity against Pseudomonas anguilliseptica, Tenacibaculum maritimum, Photobacterium damselae both compounds was tested. addition, viability Sparicotyle...

The aim of the present study was to ascertain whether an Allium spp. extract rich in organosulfur compounds, such as propyl thiosulfonate (PTSO), added feed growing-finishing pigs at 5 g/kg enhances growth performance or affects fecal microbiome, levels short-chain fatty acids, antioxidant capacity animals. Fifty male growing (large white) 23.07 ± 2.87 kg average body weight were randomly allotted two treatments a 103-day trial. trial divided into periods, initial phase (56-days) and...

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has risen as a global threat for human health. One of the leading factors this emergence been massive use antibiotics growth-promoter (AGPs) in livestock, enhancing spread AMR among pathogenic bacteria. Thus, several alternatives such probiotics, prebiotics, or phytobiotics have proposed using animal feeding to maintain improve productive levels while diminishing negative effects AGPs. Reducing is key aspect pig rearing production reasons, well high-quality...

Sixteen purebred Iberian (IB) sows were used in two consecutive trials to determine the efficiency of conversion sow's milk into piglet body weight (BW) gain and relationship between protein retention energy yield nursing IB piglet. In each trial, four selected order evaluate their production, litter growth nutrient balance measurements, together with additional for sampling. Litter size was equalized six piglets. Daily (MY) determined weekly by weigh-suckle-weigh technique over a 34-day...

Fifty-eight purebred castrated male Iberian (IB) piglets (initial BW 9.9 ± 0.1 kg) were used in an experiment to determine the effect of dietary protein content (PC) and feeding level (FL) on rates gain, whole body deposition (PD), energy utilization between 10 25 kg using serial slaughter method. Treatments followed a 4 × 2 factorial arrangement with PC (201, 176, 149, 123 g CP/kg DM) FL (0.95 0.70 ad libitum) 6 or 7 per combination treatments. All diets formulated have optimal AA pattern....

This study analyzes the potential use of an Allium-derived compound, propyl propane thiosulfonate (PTSO), as a functional feed additive in aquaculture. Gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) juveniles had their diet supplemented with this compound (150 mg/kg PTSO) and were compared control fish. The effects organosulfur tested by measuring body weight analyzing gut microbiota after 12 weeks. relative abundance potentially pathogenic Vibrio Pseudomonas foregut hindgut fish significantly decreased,...

Background: The increase of multi-resistant bacteria, especially Staphylococcus spp. and Enterobacteriaceae, constitutes a challenge in veterinary medicine. rapid growth resistance is outpacing antibiotic discovery. Innovative strategies are needed, including the use natural products like Allium species (Allium sativum L. cepa L.), which have been used empirically for centuries to treat infectious diseases humans farm aquaculture animals due their antibacterial properties. Methods: This...

A total of 16 pure-bred Iberian (IB) sows, all them suckling six piglets, were used, eight in each the two consecutive trials (1 and 2). Daily milk yield composition determined weekly over a 34-day lactation period. Within litter, one piglet at birth four piglets on day 35 life slaughtered. Milk intake per tended to be greater trial 2 (832 v. 893 g/day; P=0.066), but grew 168±3.3 g/day, irrespective trial. In IB sow milk, linoleic (LA) : linolenic (LNA) acid ratio averaged 14.6 15.2 1 2,...

Among the alternatives to control avian coccidiosis, alliaceous extracts stand out due their functional properties. Despite this, most of references are focused just on garlic. In this study, we analyze in vitro effects propyl-propane thiosulfinate (PTS) and thiosulfonate (PTSO), two organosulfur compounds from onion, MDBK cells infected with sporozoites Eimeria acervulina. To aim, different experiments were performed. first experiment, previously incubated for 1 h at 1, 5 10 µg/mL PTS or...

Olive pulp (Olea europaea) inclusion in the diet of Iberian sows (Sus scrofa) is interesting due to fiber and bioactive compounds content because both productions are located same area. The aim this trial was study effect olive at 100 g/kg sow’s on performance, immunoglobulin serum parameters, antioxidant status, fecal microbiota. Forty multiparous (body weight (BW) = 149.6 ± 20.2 kg) were assigned either a control (CON) or an experimental (PUL) with g/kg. BW backfat thickness measured...

Sixteen pure-bred Iberian (IB) sows were used in two trials to determine the efficiency of utilization milk protein and amino acid (AA) for growth suckling piglets. It was hypothesized that there may be one or more strongly limiting essential AA (EAA) responsible slow rate IB piglet. This will show highest fractional retention. Daily yield composition determined weekly over a 34-day lactation period. Within each litter, piglet at birth four piglets on d 35 life slaughtered. The content sow...

The organosulfur compound propyl-propane thiosulfonate (PTSO), mainly found in Allium cepa, has a promising use the agrifood industry. To confirm its safety for livestock, consumers, and environment, toxicological assessment is needed. In this regard, endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are spotlight of research. Therefore, as part risk PTSO, present work, an vivo study was performed mice exposed to PTSO investigate potential reproductive toxicity considering fertility, genetic endocrine...

A total of 70 male growing non-castrated pigs (Large White), with a 23.07 ± 2.87 kg average body weight (BW), were randomly allocated to three treatments in 103 day trial: CONTROL diet and two experimental diets, ALLIUM (5 g/kg Allium spp. extract) OLIVE (100 olive pulp). Animals slaughtered at 115 live weight. Meat fat quality analyzed. fed had higher water holding capacity (WHC) than those the control diet. No significant differences observed between groups for cooking loss, drip losses...

Little information is available concerning mineral metabolism in suckling piglets. The utilization of milk minerals and the composition Iberian (IB) piglets were studied two consecutive experiments at different ambient temperatures (trial 1, 27 ± 2°C; trial 2, 22 2°C). Milk piglets’ performance determined weekly over a 34 days lactation period and, end, body contents analyzed retention bioavailability calculated. ash content IB sows’ was found to be higher than that reported for lean...

Abstract Organic amendments are commonly applied singularly to soils improve physical, biological and chemical properties, but their combination may be even more advantageous than when alone. In this study manure was in with biochar (90:10 50:50 ratios) a drought prone agricultural Regosol field evaluation. Samples were collected twice year for 2 years subjected testing moisture retention, nutrient status microbial activity whilst weed growth monitored by drone. Substantial seasonal...

Piglet body composition at weaning could be a determinant for pig’s viability and may influenced by factors such as the nutritional management followed during suckling. An experiment was conducted to study whether intermittent suckling (IS) affects nutrient energy retention 34-day lactation period in Iberian piglets. Litters were subjected conventional (CS) or IS (n=10 litters of six piglets per treatment) two trials. All had ad libitum access creep feed from day 15 onwards. In IS,...
