Effective functionality of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) and its health, are important factors in determining animal performance. Several, complex mechanisms involved regulation GIT therefore it is crucial to deepen our knowledge these interactions so that strategies for modulation context improved performance, can be developed. The concept “gut health” has started attract significant interest within science community, however a clear definition health how measured lacking. Therefore,...
Effective gastrointestinal functionality is crucial in determining animal health, welfare and performance. A new definition of has been recently presented it identified the key components that contribute to effective health. These are: diet, structure function barrier, host interaction with microbiota, digestion absorption feed, immune status, neuroendocrine gut. Each these are linked each other by several complex mechanisms pathways, however, having some offers opportunity evaluate...
This paper examines the role that oxidative stress plays in small ruminant medicine. We will examine how redox homeostasis is involved some physiological functions and we discuss implications of impairment status on health production.
The present study was undertaken to investigate the impact of heat (thermal) stress and dietary antioxidant supplementation on oxidative physiological status sheep. Twenty-four Merino × Poll Dorset crossbred ewes were housed in 1 2 climatic chambers (thermoneutral or stress) offered either a control (10 IU vitamin E/kg DM 0.24 mg Se/kg DM) high (100 1.20 diet. sheep exposed thermal (temperature) treatments [TN]: 18-21°C 26-30% relative humidity; [HS]: 28-40°C 40-50% humidity) for wk single...
What is the central question of this study? Oxidative stress may play a role in compromising intestinal epithelial barrier integrity pigs subjected to heat stress, but it unknown whether an increase dietary antioxidants (selenium and vitamin E) could alleviate gut leakiness heat-stressed pigs. main finding its importance? Levels selenium (1.0 p.p.m.) E (200 IU kg(-1) ) greater than those usually recommended for reduced caused by stress. This suggests that oxidative plays also provides...
The objective of this study was to investigate the effects chronic heat (thermal) stress and dietary antioxidant supplementation on expression shock proteins inflammatory genes in skeletal muscle sheep. Twenty-four Merino × Poll Dorset crossbred ewes were allocated either a control (10 IU vitamin E 0.24 mg Se/kg DM) or high-antioxidant (VitE+Se; 100 1.20 diet exposed 2 thermal (temperature) treatments (thermoneutral [TN]: 18°C-21°C 26%-30% relative humidity; [HS]: 28°C-40°C 40%-50% humidity)...
The global population is predicted to grow over 9 billion by the middle of 21st century, with 70% people living in urban areas, and food demand projected 2050. Climate change presents a series challenges for animal agriculture. As result thermal associated climate variability, availability quality pasture, behaviour, physiological immunological functions are potentially impacted. Oxidative status plays an important role regulation maintenance several body. Ruminants exposed environmental...
The poultry ovary is used as a classic model to study ovarian biology and cancer. Stress factors induced oxidative stress cause follicle atresia, which may be fundamental reason for the reduction in fertility older laying hens or aging women. In present study, we set out characterize relationships between function. Layers (62 weeks of age; BW = 1.42 ± 0.12 kg) were injected with tert-butyl hydroperoxide (tBHP) at 0 (CON) 800 μmol/kg (oxidative group, OS) 24 days role melatonin (Mel) on...
Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects hot season and nutrition on oxidative status metabolic profile lactating goats during mid lactation. Twenty-four Red Syrian were allocated into three groups that offered following diets: natural pasture (P), pasture+500 g/h per day concentrate (PC) hay plus 500 (HC). Blood samples taken in spring (85±7 days milk (DIM)) summer (120±7 DIM) assayed for reactive oxygen metabolites (ROMs), α-tocopherol, glucose, triglycerides,...
The involvement of protein oxidation in embryonic mortality (EM) has been poorly investigated cows. Advanced products (AOPP) are markers generated by activated neutrophils and involved inflammation. aim this work was to study AOPP cow plasma their relationship with late EM. outcomes 158 artificial inseminations (AI) were examined 72 cows, which classified ex post on the basis blood progesterone pregnancy-associated glycoprotein concentrations clinical confirmation pregnancy into following...
