Hematologic and biochemical reference intervals depend on many factors, including age. A review of the literature highlights lack for 6-wk-old specific pathogen free (SPF) Hampshire-Yorkshire crossbred pigs. For translational research, pigs represent an important animal model both human juvenile colitis diabetes mellitus type 2 given similarities between porcine gastrointestinal maturation process. The aim this study was to determine hematological parameters in healthy Blood samples were...
Childhood diarrhea is a significant problem in many developing countries and E. coli main causative agent of young children. Lysozyme an antimicrobial protein highly expressed human milk, but not ruminant thought to help protect breastfeeding children against diarrheal diseases. We hypothesized that consumption milk from transgenic goats which produce lysozyme (hLZ-milk) their would accelerate recovery bacterial-induced diarrhea. Young pigs were used as model for infected with...
In addition to its well-recognized antimicrobial properties, lysozyme can also modulate the inflammatory response. This ability may be particularly important in gastrointestinal tract where inappropriate reactions damage intestinal epithelium, leading significant health problems. The consumption of milk from transgenic goats producing human (hLZ) their therefore has potential positively impact health. order investigate effect hLZ-containing on response, young pigs were fed pasteurized hLZ or...
BackgroundMalaria infection in pregnancy is a major cause of maternal and foetal morbidity mortality worldwide. Mouse models for gestational malaria allow the exploration mechanisms linking poor outcomes tractable model system. The composition gut microbiota has been shown to influence susceptibility inbred virgin mice. In this study, we explore ability modulate severity pregnant outbred Swiss Webster mice.MethodsIn mice, was altered by disrupting native microbes through broad-spectrum...
Due to its amenability manipulations, live observation and striking similarities mammals, the chicken embryo has been one of major animal models in biomedical research. Although it is technically possible genome-edit chicken, long generation time (6 months sexual maturity) makes an impractical lab model prevented widespread use The Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) attractive alternative, very similar but with decisive asset a much shorter (1.5 months). In recent years, transgenic...
The ability to detect and remove male chicks pre-hatch would be a big step forward the egg-laying related industries. current practice of culling post-hatch creates major ethical dilemma for many countries. Hatching out growing layer is not sustainable option farmers. A genetic based in ovo sex selection application effectively negate need cull or grow chickens contribute more industry with view future food security. Recent advancements avian gene technology allow specific marking...
Lactoferrin and lysozyme are antimicrobial immunomodulatory proteins produced in high quantities human milk that aid gastrointestinal (GI) health have beneficial effects when supplemented separately conjunction animal diets. Ruminants produce low levels of lactoferrin lysozyme; however, there genetically engineered cattle goats respectively secrete recombinant (rhLF-milk), (hLZ-milk) their milk. Effects consumption rhLF-milk, hLZ-milk a combination rhLF-and were tested on young pigs as an...
Animal agriculture faces a broad array of challenges, ranging from disease threats to adverse environmental conditions, while attempting increase productivity using fewer resources. RNA interference (RNAi) is biological phenomenon with the potential provide novel solutions some these challenges. Discovered just 20 years ago, mechanisms underlying RNAi are now well described in plants and animals. Intracellular double-stranded triggers conserved response that leads cleavage degradation...
Poultry products (meat and eggs) are a major source of animal protein on which the world is increasingly reliant to feed rapidly growing population. Improved breeds advances in farm management practices have had large impact poultry industry. For example, using current genetic stock production practices, broiler chickens can weigh 2 kg about 34 days. Forty-five years ago it would typically taken over 60 These impressive been made traditional selective breeding methods more recently by...
Synthetic biology [synbio] applications have the potential to assist in addressing significant global health and environmental challenges. Australian research institutes are investing formative develop synbio technologies capable of meeting these Alongside laboratory research, investigating broader social, institutional, ethical considerations that presents has been a priority. We conducted targeted qualitative uncover barriers opportunities for range multisectoral stakeholders identified as...
Conservation easements (CEs) are one of the most popular voluntary, legally binding programs that allow individual landowners to use their property protect environment. There is a definite need for educational and persuasive messaging targeted towards regarding adopting conservation easements. Based on previous studies, confirmed by this study, communication efforts led experts who also community members likely be well received in region. currently little no existing region-specific...
1. Salmonella enterica subsp. salamae serovar sofia (S. sofia) is a prevalent strain of in Australian broilers and has been isolated from broiler chickens, litter, dust, as well pre- post-processing carcasses, retail chicken portions but never reported commercial layers or eggs. 2. To investigate whether S. isolate could colonise layers, one-month-old Hyline brown were orally inoculated with colonisation was monitored for 2-4 weeks. 3. Overall, 30-40% the chickens shed cloaca between 6 14 d...
Abstract During development, dynamic changes in tissue shapes known as morphogenesis result from the exquisite orchestration of signalling pathways, cell–cell interactions, cell divisions, and coordinated movements. How cells within embryos adopt a vast array fates such an ever-changing environment has fascinated scientists for generations, yet ability to observe characterize those rapid proven technically challenging higher vertebrates. The japanese quail ( Coturnix coturnix japonica ) is...
