The absorption, distribution and elimination of fumonisin B1 (and B2) after oral administration Fusarium verticillioides (MRC 826) fungal culture, mixed into the experimental feed for 10 days, was studied in weaned barrows. In order to determine absorption FB1 from marked by chromium oxide, a special T-cannula implanted distal part pigs' ileum. During feeding toxin-containing diet (45 mg kg−1) until tenth day end treatment, total quantity urine faeces collected their toxin content analysed....

Colour is one of the most important sensory traits honey for consumers. Honeys originating from different plant species are in colour, but there could be variability within them as well, if geographical locations. usually determined by subjective methods. We colour categories Lovibond method, and compared results with reflectance spectrometry Minolta Chromameter broadening possibilities determining getting an objective image. First purpose study was to find whether method concordance those...

Poultry producers’ attitudes towards biosecurity practices were assessed by using the ADKAR® (Awareness, Desire, Knowledge, Ability, and Reinforcement) behavioral change model. Conventional poultry producers (n = 155) from different production types including broilers 35), layers 22), breeders 24), turkeys 19), ducks 23), free-range 11), hatcheries 10) seven European countries scored for each ADKAR element (1 total absence to 5 perfect fulfilment). Each country performed selected...

The present study aimed to investigate the short-time (24 h) effect of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and sterigmatocystin (STC) on expression hsp70, p53, gadd45, ogg1 genes in common carp hepatopancreas. Our results showed that can stimulate DNA repair genes, mainly by hour 24. This significant finding contributes our understanding short-term effects these mycotoxins One-year-old juveniles were randomly distributed into five groups (Control, AFB1 0.4 mg kg-1 feed, STC1 1 STC2 2 STC3 3 feed)....

Selenium, as part of selenocysteine, is the active centre selenoenzymes. Excess amount selenium generates oxygen free radicals and reacts with thiol compounds such reduced glutathione, composing seleno-diglutathione. These reactions impair and/or activity biological antioxidant defence system. In present experiment effects two inorganic sources (Na2SeO3, Na2SeO4) on lipid peroxidation content some components mechanism were studied in Ross 308 hybrid cockerels. tissues examined, glutathione...

The effect of T-2 and HT-2 toxin using different doses in the starter (0-21 days: 1.04 mg 0.49 kg -1 feed), finisher diets (22-39 0.12 0.02 feed) was investigated broiler chickens. Birds were divided into two groups fed with control contaminated diets. Pathological signs toxicity on days 21 39 trial, individual liveweight measured weekly. Five birds from each group sacrificed 21st 39th treatment, when blood plasma, red cell, liver kidney samples taken, which malondialdehyde reduced...

Three groups of cockerels were fed with a control diet, diet contaminated T-2 and HT-2 toxin (0.31 0.26 mg/kg) or that containing combination (0.32 0.25 aflatoxin B 1 (AFB , 0.38 for 21 days. Body weight gain feed conversion ratio did not differ significantly among the groups. Malondialdehyde concentration liver was lower in group + as compared to toxins. Reduced glutathione (GSH) content than T-2, aflatoxin. heart higher group. Mycotoxin contamination had no effect on peroxidase (GSH-Px)...

Most retailers in EU countries pay pig breeders for their animals’ lean meat percentage, which does not align fully with measures of pork quality (such as colour). In this study, we investigated the effects season (summer vs. autumn) on finishing pigs’ performance, carcass characteristics, and parameters 24 slaughter pigs. Growing performance traits (live weights, average daily weight gain), values (warm cold trunk length, fat thickness) (pH at 45 min h postmortem, colour, drip loss, thawing...

Many farms are replacing the lighting with light emitting diode (LED) bulbs because of technological modernization. We aimed to investigate effects incandescent (IL) and LED on Cobb500 broiler chickens for six weeks. Production parameters (body weight, feed consumption, conversion ratio), calculated slaughter values (yield%, relative breast%, thigh%) breast meat quality (pH at 45 min 24 h postmortem, color, drip loss, kitchen equipment losses, shear force, composition) were recorded....

Many farms have been replacing traditional lighting sources with light-emitting diode (LED) bulbs because of technological modernization. We aimed to investigate the effects incandescent (IL) and LED on Cobb 500 broiler chickens for six weeks. Production parameters (body weight, feed consumption, conversion ratio), calculated slaughter values (yield%, relative breast%, thigh%) breast meat quality (pH at 45 min 24 h postmortem, color, drip loss, kitchen equipment losses, shear force,...

The effect of feeding ochratoxin A (OTA) contaminated diet (379.6 and 338.1 μg/kg in starter grower diets) on production traits, lipid peroxidation some parameters the glutathione redox system were investigated weaned piglets over a seven-week period. Feed intake feed conversion ratio (FCR) did not differ significantly, but first phase (0–28 days) daily weight gain was significantly lower fed OTA-contaminated diet. Lipid peroxidation, as measured by amount malondialdehyde, content peroxidase...

The purpose of the present study was to investigate effect experimental T-2 toxin load (2.35 mg/kg feed) and vitamin E supply in drinking water (10.5 mg/bird/day) on levels blood plasma liver broiler chickens a 14-day experiment. It found that did not influence content except at day 3 after when moderate increase detected E. No significant changes were liver. simultaneous use high-dose supplementation caused significantly higher but less expressed group subjected load. Vitamin also resulted...

Milk yield, milk ingredients, health and other, production-related parameters of subclinically infected, Mycobacterium avium ssp. paratuberculosis (MAP-) shedding (positive faecal PCR, n = 20) non-shedding (negative 10) dairy cows were compared in the period from 10 days prepartum to 120 postpartum. Body condition, rumen fill faeces scores lower MAP-shedding cows. There was no significant difference plasma or urine metabolic between groups. yield lactose content tended be (P 0.074 0.077,...
