Mexican tarragon (Tagetes lucida Cv. Asteraceae: Campanulatae) is an important, nutritious plant and effective herbal medicine. Seven coumarins, 7,8-dihydroxycoumarin (4), umbelliferone (7-hydroxycoumarin) (5), scoparone (6,7-dimethoxycoumarin) (7), esculetin (6,7-dihydroxycoumarin) (11), 6-hydroxy-7-methoxycoumarin (12), herniarin (7-methoxycoumarin) (13), scopoletin (6-methoxy-7-hydroxycoumarin) (14), three flavonoids, patuletin (18), quercetin (19), quercetagetin (20), were isolated from...
Probiotic effects on growth performance, carcass traits, blood parameters, cecal microbiota, and immune response of broilers were studied. Two hundred one-day-old male chickens allocated to one five treatments (four replicates 10 birds per treatment): control, the same control diet supplemented with 0.005%, 0.01%, 0.015% 0.02% probiotics. Probiotics in feed at 0.01% or higher levels supplementation improved body weight gain (+12%) conversion rate (-5%) compared control. There no but relative...
Biofilm as a cellular conformation confers survival properties to microbial populations and favors resistance. Here, we investigated the antimicrobial, antibiofilm, antimotility, antihemolytic activity, interaction with synthetic membranes of 15 essential oils (EOs) on E. coli ATCC 25922 S. aureus 29213. Antimicrobial activity EOs was determined through microdilution method; development biofilm assessed using crystal violet assay SEM microscopy. Results indicate that Lippia origanoides...
Microbial infections resistant to conventional antibiotics constitute one of the most important causes mortality in world. In some bacterial species, such as Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus pathogens, biofilm formation can favor their antimicrobial resistance. These biofilm-forming bacteria produce a compact protective matrix, allowing adherence colonization different surfaces, contributing resistance, recurrence, chronicity infections. Therefore, therapeutic alternatives have...
The objective of the present study was to assess frequency distribution markers in diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT1), fatty acid binding protein 4 (FABP4), leptin (LEP), retinoic receptor-related orphan receptor C (RORC), and stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD1) genes a Spanish commercial crossbred population (n = 286) produced southwest Spain. We have also evaluated association these 5 major SNP with backfat thickness (BFT) intramuscular fat (IMF) use them routinely industry (if associations...
The aims of the present work were to determine by meta-analysis responses broiler performance increasing dietary levels black soldier fly larvae meal (BSFLM) and develop prediction models apparent metabolisable energy corrected zero nitrogen balance (AMEn) BSFLM. Eighteen studies from 12 countries that sum up 20 experiments involved a total 63 treatments with 468 replicates 4229 birds fulfilled requirements for meta-analysis. Four papers three investigated eight different samples BSFLM...

We determined normal reference values from data on sera of 2099 outpatient children (ages one week to 14 years) at our institution. Using a continuous-flow instrument (SMAC, Technicon), we the following analytes in each serum sample: glucose, creatinine, uric acid, inorganic phosphorus, sodium, potassium, chloride, total CO2, iron, cholesterol, triglycerides, protein, albumin, bilirubin, creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, alkaline phosphatase, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine and...
Abstract The sustainability of all productive activities, including livestock farming, becomes a fundamental challenge in the current scenario. Livestock production faces both old and new challenges related to climate change, food safety, feed-food competition. latter aspect has recently become hot topic, many researchers are turning their attention this issue. According circular economy principles, former foodstuffs have characteristics that make them promising source raw material for...
There is scarce information regarding the effects of probiotics in diet lactating ewes on milk yield and composition as well metabolite concentrations enzyme activities blood. Sixteen Sanjabi ewes, kept under same feeding management practices, were divided two equal groups. The first group fed a without probiotics, while second supplemented with grams commercial (PrimaLac® 454 Feed grade, containing Lactobacillus acidophilus, 2.5 × 107 CFU/g; casei, Bifidobacterium thermophilum, Enterococcus...
Two hundred and ten one-day-old male chickens of the Ross 308 strain were randomly allocated to one seven treatments (five replicates six birds per treatment). The control fed ad libitum throughout whole experimental period. In remaining (T15-5, T15-10 T15-15, T30-5, T30-10 T30-15), feed restriction was 15 30% intake between 8 14 days age (starting period), whereas during growing (15-28 days) finishing periods (20-42 days), feeds contained 5, 10 15% higher energy protein contents than...
Abstract. This study was carried out to determine morphometric and meristic characteristics of two populations (wild cultured) Cichlasoma festae establish whether could be discriminated based on variability. Twenty-two four characters were used test the hypothesis differentiation. Univariate analysis variance (ANOVA) from 100 adult specimens showed significant differences (p < 0.05) for 21 standardized measurements 26 among means wild cultured tested. Cross correlation amongst certain...
The effect of increasing dietary levels rosemary and yarrow herb powders on the growth performance, carcass traits ileal microbiota broilers was studied. Three hundred thirty-six one-day-old Ross 308 male chickens were allocated to one following treatments (six replicates 8 birds per treatment): control (basal diet with no or herbs added), basal addition either 0.5, 1.0 1.5% herb, 1.0, herb. Significant differences observed (P<0.05) between in starting (d 1-21) growing 22-42) periods,...
Milk fat composition can be modulated by the inclusion of lipid supplements in ruminant diets. An interaction between supplement and forage to concentrate ratio or type rations may affect milk composition. However, little is known about effects starch-to-non-forage NDF supplementation goat The aim this work was determine role dietary carbohydrates goats supplemented with linseed oil on animal performance fatty acid (FA) profile. A total 16 dairy were allocated two simultaneous experiments...
The feed utilisation of young chicks is characterised by a suboptimal fat digestibility, which can be improved means dietary emulsifiers. objective this study was to evaluate the effect Globin on energy efficiency and digestibility starter feeds production performance broilers throughout whole rearing cycle.A total 224-day-old ROSS 708 chickens (14 birds/pen, 8 replicates/treatment) were fed ad libitum with either basal diet (C) or addition 0.05% during (d1–10), growing (d10–25) finisher...
