Forages are important components of dairy cattle rations but might harbor a plethora mycotoxins. Ruminants considered to be less susceptible the adverse health effects mycotoxins, mainly because ruminal microflora degrades certain Yet, impairment degradation capacity or high stability toxins can entail that intestinal epithelium is exposed significant mycotoxin amounts. The aims our study were assess i) occurrence in maize silage and ii) cytotoxicity relevant mycotoxins on bovine cells. In...
Ruminants are generally considered to be less susceptible the effects of mycotoxins than monogastric animals as rumen microbiota capable detoxifying some these toxins. Despite this potential degradation, mycotoxin-associated subclinical health problems seen in dairy cows. In research, disappearance several was determined an vitro model and effect realistic concentrations those on fermentation assessed by volatile fatty acid production. addition, two hypotheses were tested: (1) a lower pH...
Ruminants are less susceptible to the effects of mycotoxins than monogastric animals as their rumen microbiota claimed degrade and/or deactivate at least some these toxic compounds. However, mycotoxin degradation is not well-known yet. For this, a sensitive, specific, and accurate analytical method needed determine in fluid. This study aims develop thoroughly validate an ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry for quantitative determination fluid most relevant found...
Ruminal microbiota of cattle are not able to detoxify all mycotoxins. In addition, detoxification can be hampered by adverse ruminal conditions (e.g., low pH). Hence, in the husbandry, mycotoxin binders and modifiers could used prevent animal exposure this study, an vitro rumen model, including feed matrix, was established as first screening tool test efficacy five products claiming The detoxifiers had different modes action: (a) binding (three products); (b) enzymatic zearalenone (ZEN; one...
Abstract Background Grasslands are the primary source of forage for ruminants. Legal restrictions on nitrogen fertilization force farmers to optimize use efficiency (NUE) grassland and protein quality in grass silage. Methods The present study included data from 10 dairy farms Flanders. For each field, presence clover was determined based seed mixture composition. Soil manure were sampled before first application analyzed determine plant available N content. annual NUE calculated field...
In order to investigate the effect and appropriate dose of prebiotics, this study evaluated two levels xylooligosaccharides (XOS) in cats. Twenty-four healthy adult cats were divided into three groups: no-XOS control diet with 1% cellulose; low XOS supplementation (LXOS) 0.04% 0.96% high (HXOS) 0.40% 0.60% cellulose. Both groups increased blood 3-hydroxybutyryl carnitine decreased hexadecanedioyl levels. treatments displayed an bacterial abundance Blautia, Clostridium XI, Collinsella a...
In a temperate climate, the mycotoxins deoxynivalenol (DON), nivalenol (NIV), enniatin B (ENN B), mycophenolic acid (MPA), roquefortine C (ROC) and zearalenone (ZEN) are often found in maize silage. Although rumen microbiota able to degrade some (e.g. DON), others known stay mainly intact ROC). addition, mycotoxin degradation can be hampered by low ruminal pH or decrease microbial activity. Hence, these reach small intestine exert cytotoxic effect on intestinal epithelial cells. this study,...
