Abstract This study evaluated the potential of silver nanoparticles (AgNano) as an antimicrobial growth-promoting supplement for broiler chickens. One hundred forty-four seven-day-old chicks were distributed randomly to AgNano treatments at 0, 10 and 20 mg/kg (Control, Group AgNano10, AgNano20, respectively) provided via drinking water from day 7 36 post-hatching. Body weight feed consumption measured weekly. In addition, balance respiration experiments carried out determine nitrogen (N)...
Silver nanoparticles (AgNP) have gained much attention in recent years due to their biomedical applications, especially as antimicrobial agents. AgNP may be used poultry production an alternative the use of antibiotic growth promoter. However, little is known about impact oral administration on gut microbiota and immune system. The aim present study was investigate effects growth, hematological immunological profile well intestinal microbial composition broilers challenged with Campylobacter...
Over a period of 4 wk, 24 10-d-old broiler hens were fed diets containing 11% vegetable oil (9% rapeseed oil, 2% soybean oil), which was added either fresh (1 meq O2/kg oil) or oxidized (156 oil). The effects the dietary treatments on nutrient digestibility examined in balance experiment. antioxidative status animals evaluated using plasma concentrations thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS), erythrocyte hemolysis vitro, selenium-dependent and selenium-independent activity...
The susceptibility of a given muscle tissue to lipid oxidation may not only depend on the presence unsaturated fatty acids and balance between antioxidants prooxidants, but also composition skeletal muscle. In present study, effects dietary supplementation vitamin E (dl-α-tocopheryl acetate) copper in combination with high level monounsaturated were examined regard antioxidant concentration two muscles, longissimus (LD) psoas major (PM), representing different oxidative capacity. addition,...
It is unclear when and how to start enteral feeding for preterm infants mother's milk not available. We hypothesized that early slow advancement with either formula or bovine colostrum stimulates gut maturation prevents necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in pigs, used as models infants. Pigs were given total parenteral nutrition (TPN, n = 14) slowly advancing volumes (16–64 ml·kg −1 ·day ) of infant (IF, 15) (BC, 13), both adjunct nutrition. On day 5, diets increased intestinal mass (27 ± 1 vs....
Introduction: Parenteral nutrition (PN) in preterm infants leads to PN‐associated liver disease (PNALD). PNALD has been linked serum accumulation of phytosterols that are abundant plant oil but absent fish emulsions. Hypothesis : Whether modifying the phytosterol and vitamin E composition soy lipid emulsions affects development pigs. Methods We measured markers pigs received 14 days PN included 1 following: (1) Intralipid (IL, 100% soybean oil), (2) + (ILE, d‐α‐tocopherol), (3) Omegaven (OV,...
Abstract Obese dogs seem to have a different gut microbiome ( GM ) composition compared lean dogs, and in humans, may negatively impact the ability lose weight some individuals. The purpose of this study was investigate interaction between exercise, weight‐loss dogs. Eighteen obese pet were recruited for 12‐week intervention. All fed restrictively with commercial high‐protein/high‐fibre dry diet, eight these enrolled an exercise program addition diet Faecal samples collected weighed at week...
Preterm infants are susceptible to infection and necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) often treated with antibiotics. Simultaneous administration of enteral parenteral antibiotics during the first days after preterm birth prevents formula-induced NEC lesions in pigs, but it is unknown which route most effective. We hypothesized that only suppress gut bacterial colonization progression formula-fed pigs. Caesarean-delivered pigs (90-92% gestation) were fed increasing amounts infant formula from day...
The oil from industrial hemp seeds (Cannabis sativa) is an ideal source of stearidonic acid, which a precursor fatty acid for the long-chained n-3 polyunsaturated acids. These acids are important neonatal development, health and immunity. Hemp seed has been investigated influence on human health, but research impact in pig nutrition scarce. aim our was to study effect dietary relative soybean lactating sows transfer off-spring piglets' immune nutritional status.The composition influenced sow...
In swine nutrition, little is known about the vitamin D requirements for reproductive processes and bone health. Consequently, recommendation sows during gestation lactation not based on scientific reports. The current study was undertaken to obtain information dose-response pattern of 2 sources, commonly used cholecalciferol, called D(3), a newly developed Hy.D product (25-hydroxycholecalciferol). Exp. 1, total 160 gilts were randomly assigned from first estrus until d 28 dietary treatments...
Abstract The content of vitamin D in pork produced conventional systems depends on the concentration pig feed. Both 3 and 25-hydroxyvitamin (25(OH)D ) are essential sources dietary D; however, bioavailability assessed by serum 25(OH)D is reported to be different between two sources. Furthermore, relationship level tissue unknown. objective this study was investigate potential increasing tissues levels feed for 49 d before slaughter. Concurrently, investigated as a biomarker assess tissues....
