Abstract Foals commonly experience diarrhoea in the first weeks of life. Although this condition is rarely life-threatening, it can have significant health consequences. This study investigated whether new-born foals benefit from a dietary supplement nucleotides, as already demonstrated other species. Dietary nucleotides positive effects on rapidly proliferating tissues and are considered “semi-essential nutrients” since cells only limited capacity to synthesize these compounds. The aim was...
The purpose of this study was to improve the quality frozen-thawed Piedmontese bull semen by incorporating MitoTEMPO (MT) in extended before cryopreservation. Semen collected from 4 fertile bulls, using an artificial vagina, once weekly for 6 consecutive weeks. samples were pooled, diluted with Bullxcell
Papillomaviruses (PVs) are small, non-enveloped viruses, ubiquitous across the animal kingdom. PVs induce diverse forms of infection, such as cutaneous papillomas, genital papillomatosis, and carcinomas. During a survey on fertility status mare, novel Equus caballus PV (EcPV) has been identified using Next Generation Sequencing, it was further confirmed with genome-walking PCR Sanger sequencing. The complete circular genome 7607 bp long shares 67% average percentage identity EcPV9, EcPV2,...
The selection of the recipient mare is one most important factors involved in success equine embryo transfer. aim this study was to determine whether age recipient, number transfers and detection intrauterine fluid during follicular phase or after ovulation can affect pregnancy rate at 14 45 days (PR PR 45) early embryonic loss (EEL). A total 1222 ETs were included study. Mares receiving first year had a higher compared mares third transfer (78.8% 70.1% vs. 65.6% 54.1%, respectively). post...
The purpose of this study was to observe in vitro-matured equine oocytes with an objective computerized technique that involves the use a polarized light microscope (PLM) addition subjective morphological evaluation obtained using classic (LM). Equine cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs, n = 922) were subjected different vitro maturation times (24, 36 or 45 h), however, only 36-h matured analyzed CLM. reached maturity parthenogenetically activated evaluate quality and meiotic competence. Average...
Equine Papillomavirus 2 (EcPV2) is responsible for squamous cell carcinomas (eSCCs) of external genitalia both male and female horses. However, few studies report the EcPV2 prevalence among healthy Currently, lack these data does not permit identifying at-risk populations and, thus, developing screening protocols aimed at early detection infection, as humans. The aim our study was to estimate genoprevalence in clinically horses Italy evaluate their innate immune response. For this purpose,...
Papillomavirus (PV) infections may be related to anogenital lesions and cancer development in humans several other animal species. To date, 11 different PVs have been reported horses. Among them, a newly described PV named Equus caballus Type9 (EcPV9) was thus far only the semen of stallion with penile Australia. This study reports for first time presence EcPV9 asymptomatic Italian From July 2020 January 2022, genital brush samples were collected from 209 horses no apparent signs neoplastic...
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect on fresh and post-thaw beef bull semen quality supplementation epidermal growth factor (EGF) extender at various concentrations (0-control, 50, 100, 200, 400 ng/mL). For 8 weeks, sperm collected from four fertile bulls, yielding a total 32 ejaculates. Semen samples were pooled, diluted with Bullxcell® extender, then cooled, equilibrated, frozen. After thawing, tested for motility velocity parameters. Furthermore, evaluated vitality,...
Infectious endometritis is considered one of the major causes infertility and it can affect up to 60% barren mares. It characterized by presence or more microorganisms in reproductive tract treated with administration antibiotics, ecbolic agents uterine lavages. Ozone, thanks its antimicrobial properties that are based on high oxidative potential, could represent an effective alternative treatment for endometritis. The aim this study was test vitro bactericidal fungicidal different ozone...
An inadequate colostrum intake results in Failure of Passive Transfer, a condition that makes foals more susceptible to potentially fatal infectious diseases. The aim the study was evaluate transfer passive immunity donkey, using electrophoresis as main diagnostic tool. A group 20 Ragusana crossbreed jennies (age 3–19 years) and their were enrolled. γ-globulin content dams' foals' sera measured, then effects season birth age parity on concentration efficiency immune evaluated. Influence...
Des inséminations artificielles sur chaleurs induites et naturelles ont été effectuées 138 femelles zébus Azaouak à la Station sahélienne expérimentale de Toukounous. Les par l’utilisation l’implant Crestar, spirale vaginale, d’injections prostaglandine gonadolibérine (GnRH). Deux faites : première l’observation des seconde 12 heures après. L’influence paramètres zootechniques a testée. taux non cumulés gravidité obtenus 24,5 p. 100 insémination, 33,72 deuxième, 29,48 troisième au-delà....
The surging demand for donkey milk has led to a stronger focus on husbandry and reproductive management, particularly in the peripartum period. Techniques predict parturition are needed avoid losses due dystocias, which frequently related unattended foaling. In mares, pH electrolyte analyses of pre-colostrum used with good accuracy. purpose this study was evaluate mammary secretion using both metre test strips electrolytes (Na+, K + Ca2+) gland secretions 9 jennies during 5 days preceding...
