In this study, the influence of probiotics, Pediococcus acidilactici (PA) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae boulardii (SCB), on intestinal immune traits resistance to enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) infection was evaluated in pigs. Two weeks before farrowing, 30 sows their future litters were allocated following treatments: 1) control group without antibiotic or probiotic treatment (CTRL), 2) with (tiamulin) added weanling feed (ABT), treated 3) PA, 4) SCB, 5) PA+SCB from 24 h after...
Secoisolariciresinol diglucoside is the main flax ( Linum usitatissimum ) lignan that converted to mammalian lignans enterodiol (ED) and enterolactone (EL) by gastrointestinal microbiota. The objectives of present study were investigate role ruminal microbiota effects oil on in vivo metabolism concentration EL biological fluids. Four rumen-cannulated dairy cows used a 4 × Latin square design. There four periods 21 d each treatments utilising hulls (1800 g/d) (400 supplements. were: (1)...
ABSTRACT Methane emissions represent a major environmental concern associated with manure management in the livestock industry. A more thorough understanding of how microbial communities function storage tanks is prerequisite for mitigating methane emissions. Identifying microorganisms that are metabolically active an important first step. Methanogenic archaea contributors to methanogenesis stored swine manure, and we investigated methanogenic populations by DNA stable isotope probing...
The objectives of the study were to investigate effects dietary supplementation flax hulls and/or oil on activity antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPX)) in plasma mammary gland relative mRNA abundance genes dairy cows. A total eight cows used a replicated 4 × Latin square design. There four treatments: control with no (CONT), 9·88 % DM (HULL), 500 g oil/d infused abomasum (COFO), (HUFO). Plasma GPX tended decrease supplementation....
Greenhouse gas emissions represent a major problem associated with manure management in the livestock industry. A prerequisite to mitigate methane occurring during storage is clearer understanding of how microbial consortia involved methanogenesis function. Here, we have examined stored outdoor tanks from two different farms, at locations and depths. Physico-chemical microbiological characterization these samples indicated differences between each tank, as well within tank dependent on depth...
A total of 24 lactating Holstein cows averaging 620 ( se =29) kg body weight were allotted at week 17 lactation to eight groups three blocked for similar days in milk determine the effects feeding two sources plant lignan precursor secoisolariciresinol diglucoside, whole flaxseed and meal, on concentrations mammalian lignans (enterodiol enterolactone) milk. Feed intake, digestion, production composition also determined compare use meal production. Cows within each block assigned one...
To determine the in vitro conversion of plant lignans from two flax products (hull and seed) into mammalian lignans, enterolactone enterodiol, by bovine ruminal faecal microbiota.Flax seeds hulls were incubated over a 96-h time course with or inoculum. Plant averaged 9.2 32.0 nmol mg(-1), respectively. The highest net production enterodiol at 72 96 h incubation was obtained microbiota. There no difference between within first 24 incubation. In general, significantly higher for than Net...
The generalizability of risk assessment measures to female populations remains up for debate; in particular, few studies have made direct comparisons between male and civil psychiatric patients on protective factors relevant violence assessments. To address this gap the literature, we conducted a prospective study with 102 (60.8% male) investigate strength-based Outcome data (i.e., verbal, physical, sexual aggression) was collected after 6 12 months. We found number potentially interesting...
Pigs are major reservoirs of resistant Enterobacteriaceae that can reach humans through consumption contaminated meat or vegetables grown in manure-fertilized soil. Samples were collected from sows during lactation and their piglets at five time points spanning the production cycle. Cefotaxime-resistant bacteria quantified isolated feed, feces, manures carcasses pigs reared with penicillin-using antibiotic-free husbandries. The isolates characterized by antibiotic susceptibility testing,...
A total of 32 lactating Holstein cows with mean body weight 622 kg (s.e. = 24) were allotted, at week 25 lactation, to eight groups four blocked for similar days in milk. The objective the experiment was determine effect feeding dietary concentrations (0, 50, 100 or 150 g/kg dry matter) whole flaxseed, which contains plant lignan precursor secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (SDG), on two mammalian lignans (enterodiol and enterolactone) effects diets feed intake, milk production, composition...
Understanding the ecology of methanogens in natural and engineered environments is a prerequisite to predicting or managing methane emissions. In this study, novel high-throughput fingerprint method was developed for determining methanogen diversity relative abundance within environmental samples. The described here, designated amplicon length heterogeneity PCR mcrA gene (LH-mcrA), based on variation gene. encodes alpha-subunit methyl-coenzyme M reductase, which involved terminal step...
Purpose. Three studies were conducted to determine the effect of a judicial declaration competence on perceptions credibility towards child witness and an adult defendant. Methods. Undergraduates read vignettes about 5‐ or 13‐year‐old involved in either sexual assault case motor vehicle accident case. In conditions, was preceded by child's testify (either specific general declaration) there no mention child. Participants then rated perceived both complainant/witness Results. A that targeted...
