BACKGROUND Various studies have been conducted to evaluate the effect of phenolic compounds on production animals. Supplementation animal diets with phytogenic compounds, such as different essential oils and polyphenols, could improve productivity well chemical composition oxidative stability food derived from those RESULTS During trial, 80 male broilers Ross 308 strain were allocated four dietary groups: control three groups supplemented thymol, tannic acid gallic acid. Feed utilisation was...
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) emerged in late 2019 and has since caused a global pandemic. Experimental studies sporadic reports have confirmed susceptibility of dogs cats to SARS-CoV-2 infection. However, the importance pet animals epidemiology this infection is unclear. This study on first large-scale serosurvey infections Europe. From 26 February 2020, just one day after human case Croatia, 15 June dog cat serum samples were collected from admitted three...
Over a year into the COVID-19 pandemic, there is growing evidence that SARS-CoV-2 infections among dogs are more common than previously thought. In this study, prevalence of antibodies was investigated in two dog populations. The first group comprised 1069 admitted to Veterinary Teaching Hospital for any given reason. second included shared households with confirmed cases humans. This study numbered 78 dogs. infected households, 43.9% tested ELISA positive, and neutralising were detected...
Comprehensive spatial and temporal data on sediment quality in the Adriatic Sea are lacking. Therefore, prior to planned anthropogenic interventions local marine environment, such as deepening of Rovinj harbour, results physicochemical ecotoxicological analyses five coastal sediments were compared with regional averages SQGs neighbouring countries. Analyses grain size, content metals heavy metals, PAHs PCBs performed according standard protocols. Sediment was classified French legislation...
Herein we present the synthesis of versatile amidino substituted benzothiazole 3-10 and benzimidazole 12-19 derivatives with variable number hydroxy methoxy groups.Furthermore, synthesized compounds were explored for their antioxidative activity in vitro by using three biological assays, namely DPPH, ABTS FRAP.The obtained results indicated that groups together type substituent strongly influenced reducing power tested compounds.The most promising showed trihydroxy 6, 10, 15 19.In general,...
Kurthia gibsonii [H. Kurth, 1883. Ueber Bacterium zopfii, eine neue Bakterienart. Berichte der Deutschen Botanischen Gesellschaft, 1, 97-100] was isolated on 10 unrelated laying hen farms over a period of 15 months. Farmers reported elevated morbidity and mortality rates, suspected colibacillosis based the necropsy findings. The most frequently found lesions were perihepatitis, fibrinous peritonitis, salpingitis oophoritis. Necropsy findings bacteriological results allowed diagnosis...
Escherichia coli is the main bacterial cause of major economic losses and animal welfare issues in poultry production. In this study, we investigate effect an autogenous vaccine on E. strains longitudinally isolated from broiler breeder flocks two farms. total, 115 isolates were sequenced using Illumina technologies, compared based a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis core-genome antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes they carried. The results showed that SNP-based phylogeny...
Crossbreeding of Holstein cattle with bulls other breeds has garnered increasing interest respect to efforts improve performance traits and decrease problems fertility health. Therefore, the objective this study was compare effects fatty acid synthase (FASN) gene on milk production composition Simmental first-generation × crossbred cows. A total 105 cows (72 33 Holstein) were genotyped using PCR-RFLP method their profiles analysed. The diplotype TW/AR had significantly higher fat content...
Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) osnova je brojnih metoda za istraživanje prohodnosti tla vozila. Budući da podatci o USCS-u nisu uvijek dostupni, koriste se razni drugi izvori i metode korelaciju predviđanje USCS grupe tla. U ovome radu opisane su dvije korištene u svrhu kartiranja hrvatskog dijela panonskog bazena prema do dubine od 50 cm. prvoj metodi ispitana mogućnost prijenosa 308 uzoraka sustavu klasifikacije International Science Society (ISSS) USCS. Rezultati pokazali nije...
Although the Bhanja bandavirus (BHAV) is widely distributed in some European countries, human infections are rarely reported. This study analyzed prevalence of BHAV antibodies patients with neuroinvasive diseases unsolved etiology. A total 254 Croatian who developed neurological symptoms during four consecutive arbovirus transmission seasons (April 2017-October 2021) were tested. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and urine samples tested using RT-qPCR. In addition, CSF serum a virus neutralization...

Reproductive traits are of paramountimportance in an efficient lamb production system. In Croatia, values reproductive Romanov sheep below the average expected for this breed, indicating need improvement these to exploit breed’s full potential. This study was conducted on 260 ewes located at a commercial farm Croatia. All were kept under similar conditions, and management based accelerated lambing with continuous mating. Linear models fixed effects used estimate influence year birth/lambing,...
This research aimed to analyze whether ewes' total reproductive performance up the fourth year of life (RP4) can be predicted based on data available at an early stage a ewe's productive life. The RP4 133 Romanov ewes was measured in terms number lambs born per ewe (TNLE) and birth weight (TBLE). Multiple regression used indicators (first litter size - FLS, age first lambing AFL, interval FLI), rank, dam age, rank as predictors RP4. Predicted R2 95 % prediction intervals were precision...
The overexploitation of the western Pacific Ocean has expanded sea cucumber fishery into new regions to supply Asian market. In 2013, cucumbers were removed from Croatian marine protected species list, and commercial took place for a short period (2017–2018) in Eastern Adriatic Sea. However, holothuroid are difficult distinguish. Holothuria mammata is that rarely been reported this region strongly resembles common tubulosa. This first study assess genetic diversity Sea using barcoding...
Black Slavonian pig belongs to the breeds of medium fertility with relatively high variation in litter size, denoting that it could be included selection using molecular genetics. Estrogen receptor gene (ESR) and retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4) are candidate markers for sows’ reproductive traits. The aim this preliminary study was investigate frequencies different ESR-PvuII RBP4-MspI genotypes fourteen sows, as well their Sows were genotyped PCR-RFLP method. Allele genotype calculated...
Abstract Dalmatian turkey is a slow growing breed kept in free range systems. It type of “old fashioned poultry” whose meat present on the market and accepted by consumers. However, no information about its quality fatty acid profile available. The chemical composition was influenced gender these differences could be important from consumer’s point view. Fatty characterized predominance n6 acids, especially C18:2n6 high n6/n3 ratio. Increased time storage strongly reduced long chain...
The aim of this study was to investigate the possible influence different dietary n6/n3 ratios and DHA/EPA addition on testis histology, antioxidative status lipogenesis streptozotocin-treated rats. Diabetes induced by a single intraperitoneal injection streptozotocin (55 mg/kg). rats were divided into five groups: CON (n6/n3 ratio, 7), CON-DM1 (STZ; N3-DM1 1), N6-DM1 60) DHA-DM1 1; added DHA/EPA). Antioxidative improved in group. Seminiferous tubule diameter, testicular pathohistological...
