This study investigated the effects of dietary supplementation with extruded linseed (ELS) and Padina pavonica algae extract (PP) on rabbit carcass meat quality. Ninety-six carcasses from two production cycles were analyzed. In first cycle (C1), rabbits fed a control diet (1CNT), same supplemented 5% ELS (1ELS5%), 3.5% 0.2% PP (1LPP3.5%). second (C2), diets varied in composition levels: different (2CNT), (2ELS5%), (2LPP5%). Meat analyses performed Longissimus thoracis et lumborum (LTL)...
This study evaluated the efficacy of an active absorbent pad (aPAD) in reducing microbial growth and enhancing shelf life rabbit meat stored modified atmosphere packaging (MAP). Thigh muscles from 60 rabbits were used, divided into three dietary groups: a control group (CNT), supplemented with 5% extruded flaxseed (ELS5%), 3.5% 0.2% Padina pavonica algae (LPP3.5%). Samples packaged MAP (70% O2, 30% CO2) either conventional (nPAD) or aPAD analyzed at 1, 4, 7, 14, 21 days. Microbiological...
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation impairs sperm function; however, its impact on ejaculated rabbit remains unexplored. This dose-response study aims to determine the LPS concentration that negatively affects motility in vitro, while also providing first identification of TLR4 localization spermatozoa. Additionally, it evaluates malondialdehyde (MDA) levels seminal plasma as an indicator oxidative stress. Sperm was analyzed using computer-assisted analysis (CASA) after incubation...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the use horse and donkey meat in production kaddid—a traditional dish typically not made with these meats—from a physical chemical perspective. results showed that both meats exhibit similar water retention during cooking, contributing comparable tenderness juiciness, no significant differences pH values, indicating quality (p > 0.05). However, their amino acid profiles differ: contains lower levels glutamate < 0.05), methionine 0.01), isoleucine...
Intensive cattle breeding's environmental challenges are prompting shifts to extensive, pasture-based systems, influencing nutrient and pollutant uptake. PTEs essential non-essential elements, regularly found in the environment organisms, which unbalances lead health issues. Hair analysis, a non-invasive method, provides retrospective PTE exposure evaluation. This study aims understand species-specific accumulation patterns of roe deer sharing pastures Northern Italy using hair analysis....
This study examined the effects of extruded linseed and algae Padina pavonica extract on reproductive performance, milk production, gastrointestinal health female rabbits. Thirty-six nulliparous New Zealand White rabbits were randomly assigned to three groups (n = 12) with different diets. The control group (CNT) received a standard diet, while other two modified isoenergetic diets in which part CNT diet ingredients replaced 5% (L5%) plus 0.2% (L5%PP). monitored from artificial insemination...
Heavy metals in the marine environment are significant contaminants that readily bioaccumulate tissues of aquatic organisms, particularly filter-feeding animals such as bivalve molluscs. Human exposure to elevated concentrations heavy metals, including essential elements Fe, Cu, and Zn, through consumption seafood can lead various pathological effects. Research has demonstrated among molluscs, mussels most effective indicators for monitoring pollution. Consequently, this study focused on...
Rabbits, pivotal in the EU as livestock, pets, and experimental animals, face bacterial infection challenges, prompting a quest for alternatives to curb antibiotic resistance. Bovine colostrum (BC), rich immunoregulatory compounds, antimicrobial peptides, growth factors, is explored disease treatment prevention. This study assesses BC diet supplementation effects on rabbit intestines, examining gene expression. Thirty female New Zealand White rabbits at weaning (35 days) were divided into...
Abstract. Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) is a contagious disease that has socio-economic impact on familial and industrial farms. Genetic selection can improve resistance against bTB. This study aimed to characterize the links between SLC11A1 CARD15 gene polymorphisms (TB) susceptibility. In total 200 animals were used (50 cases 150 controls). Polymorphisms in genes identified analyzed with restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method. Our results report PstI PCR-RFLP marker for...
Pathogen and stress-related morbidities are the main challenges in tilapia farming.Improving immune health is an effective approach to protect against these pathogens.Phenolic content antioxidant activity of rice husk (RH), sugarcane bagasse (SB), corn cob (CC) evaluated by Folin-Ciocalteau assay DPPH revealed high total phenolic RH compared CC SB.LCMS analysis RH, SB, exhibited presence hydroxybenzoic acid hydroxycinnamic agricultural waste samples.Effects on growth performance, gut...
