Ketosis is a common condition found in the initial stages of lactation high-yielding dairy cows. The major cause ketosis negative energy balance. During deficiency, proteolysis processes develop parallel to lipolysis. proteolysis, muscle tissue can be used as source amino acid. To date, participation acids gluconeogenesis (glucogenic acids) and ketogenesis (ketogenic has not been determined detail. This paper presents study on determination parameters protein free acid metabolism blood serum...

The objective of the study was to evaluate effect denervation and alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG) administration on development osteopenia in turkey radius. At 22 d age, all turkeys were subjected neurectomy right Control given a saline solution into crop each day for 97 d. Experimental 0.4 g AKG/kg BW day. After 98 d, not affected by AKG treatment. Volumetric bone mineral density radius measured quantitative computed tomography. Mechanical properties tested using 3-point bending test....

The aim of this study was to determine the percentage participation particular species microorganisms, isolated from uterus cows with endometritis and without inflammatory lesions uterus, in same postpartum period. also examine how long after parturition non-treated persists. Moreover, antibiotic susceptibility tests were carried out bacterial isolates dominating uterus. Forty included study: 20 (experimental group) any condition (control group). material for cytological bacteriological...

In the perianal region of carnivores, skin consists modified sebaceous glands called glands. Tumors originating from are third most frequent type neoplasm in male dogs after neoplastic diseases testes and skin. Ki-67 is a nuclear non-histone protein considered proliferation marker normal proliferating cells. Previous investigations revealed that expression may be used as prognostic factor for breast cancer humans. Thus, aim this study was to estimate diagnostic value evaluation suffering...

The development of pyometra in cows depends largely on the state local immunity uterus. objective study was to evaluate concentration following proinflammatory cytokines: tumour necrosis factor (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6); anti-inflammatory cytokine: interleukin-10 (IL-10); acute-phase proteins (APPs): haptoglobin (Hp) serum amyloid A (SAA), uterine washings with healthy animals. performed 20 divided into two groups based results cytological ultrasonographic tests: a group (10 per...

Ketosis is a common disease occurring during the first stage of lactation in highly productive dairy cows. The aim present study was comparative assessment selected pro-inflammatory cytokines (including tumor necrosis factor-α [TNF-α] and interleukin 6 [IL-6]), anti-inflammatory IL-10), acute-phase proteins (APPs) haptoglobin [Hp] serum amyloid A [SAA]), sera cows with subclinical ketosis (SCK), those clinical (CK), healthy cows.Thirty Holstein-Friesian breed were investigated. divided into...

Abstract The aim of this study was to identify mutations in the D-loop region mtDNA head, neck, and limb tumours dogs, determination their relationship with process neoplastic transformation. Blood tumour tissue samples from 19 dogs diagnosed sporadic malignant were analysed. DNA extraction, amplification, sequencing D-loop, bioinformatic analyses performed. Five polymorphisms observed 68.42% all tumours. Polymorphic variants noted 42.86% head neck 58.33% Mutations 21.05% dogs. found 28.57%...

Abstract Introduction The aim of the study was to compare selected leukocyte subpopulations and serum amyloid A (SAA) concentration in peripheral blood cows at different stages lactation. receiving a probiotic as dietary supplement compared with not it. Material Methods research conducted on 20 pregnant dairy randomly divided into two groups 10 each. experimental group consisted given feed supplement. control that were fed without supplementation. Blood drawn six times for testing: 7 days...

Abstract There were two aims of this study. One was to evaluate the postpartum state reproductive system in cows based on ultrasonography, bacterial culture, and cytological examination uterus. The other determine whether endometritis affects subsequent endometrium, and, consequence, selected parameters cows. study conducted 60 cows: experimental group 30 with endometritis, free uterine inflammation (control). percentage leukocytes both groups similar only day 5 postpartum. In all tests (26,...

Sexual dimorphism of growth and development organs tissues in poultry species results from differentiated endocrine system metabolic processes rate, leads to difference skeletal muscles mass final body weight. Our knowledge on physiological variation free amino acid status meat-type turkeys is strongly limited. The aim the study was determine sex-related differences concentration breast obtained at age 20 weeks. experiment performed with 34 birds divided into two equal groups consisting...

Abstract The aim of the study was to determine total antioxidative capacity (TAC) and zinc concentration in serum dogs suffering from perianal tumours just before start antihormonal treatment (AHT) one six months later. performed on 45 divided into two groups: control group non-malignant (N = 24) a with malignant neoplastic changes 21). Serum TAC concentrations were measured using photometric atomic absorption spectrophotometric methods. Six after AHT, significantly lower by 10.6% when...

Abstract The aim of the study was to evaluate phagocytic and killing activity cells in blood uterine flush cows with endometritis before after intrauterine (i.u.) administration cephapirin methisoprinol. research carried out on 28 clinical endometritis. Animals were divided into four groups, each composed seven cows, depending i.u. treatment used: Group A—cephapirin; B—methisoprinol; C—cephapirin methisoprinol at same time; a control group—without medication. Using flow cytometry technique,...

Perianal gland tumors are modified sebaceous glands present in the skin of perianal region dog. Hormonal stimulation may induce hyperplasia or their neoplastic progression. The presence androgen (AR) and estrogen (ER) receptors have been demonstrated both normal as well tumors. aim study was an immunohistochemical assessment expression dogs applicatory marker for antihormonal treatment. Biopsy samples masses were collected from 41 male dogs. A histopathological examination revealed 24...

Abstract The experiment was conducted on 30 Holstein-Friesian cows: 10 cows in the follicular phase of cycle and luteal d later, with cysts, cysts. presence ovarian structures confirmed by ultrasonography. Serum levels progesterone 17β-oestradiol were tested ELISA. Samples for cytological examination collected from uterus all using a brush. Following staining, smears evaluated terms quality percentages endometrial cells. In oestrous cycle, cells type A - superficial (64.6 ± 4.48)...

Contents Pyometra is a serious problem in dairy cow herds, causing large economic losses due to infertility. The development of pyometra depends mainly on the immunological status cow. aim study was comparative evaluation selected indicators involving non‐specific and specific immunity cows with without inflammation uterus. performed 20 cows, which were divided into two groups: group healthy group, each comprising 10 based results cytological ultrasonographic tests. A flow cytometric...

Limited information on physiological characteristic of bones in ostrich skeleton are available, even though bone weaknesses ostriches commonplace. Thus, the aim this study was to evaluate morphological, densitometric, and mechanical properties pelvic limb long (femur, tibia, tarsometatarsus) 14-month-old female (Struthio camelus var. domesticus). After slaughter procedure, all were isolated, cleaned soft tissues, weight length determined. Using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) mineral...

The present research was aimed at a comparative analysis of free amino acid (FAA) levels in the muscle tissue herbivorous and predatory fish.
