Summary Chlamydia psittaci is a zoonotic pathogen associated primarily with avian chlamydiosis. New chlamydial agents suspected potential were recently detected from domestic poultry in Germany and France indicating that the spectrum of Chlamydiaceae encountered birds not confined to single species. For further characterization, specific real‐time PCR targeting conserved 16S rRNA gene was developed validated for detection these atypical . In order address epidemiological importance new their...
Dermanyssus gallinae (De Geer, 1778) is a major problem for the poultry industry worldwide, as it negatively affects virtually all kinds of rearing systems. Therefore, control infestation has become routine process, and its economic cost constantly increasing. Until now, most strategies have relied on use synthetic chemical drugs, but their efficacy often questioned by emergence diffusion resistant mite populations. With this in mind, λ-cyhalothrin, amitraz, phoxim been verified testing them...
The aim of this study was to identify oral and cloacal aerobic flora four-lined snakes (Elaphe quatuorlineata) from Croatian islands Cres Olib get better insight into bacteria fungi potentially harmful both the animals people getting in contact with those animals.Oral swabs were taken a total 20 analyzed by standard microbiology Real-Time PCR method for Chlamydia spp.identification.Neither Salmonella spp.nor spp.were detected, but some human pathogens, such as Aeromonas hydrophila,...
Actinobacteria are common agents that cause skin diseases in captive desert lizards, including the recently described Devriesea agamarum. To date, infections caused by D. agamarum, their symptoms, and treatment have been only research group from Belgium isolated species 2008. This article presents symptoms indicate possibility of a agamarum–associated infection, such as scaly changes around mouth juvenile lizard (Uromastyx ocelatta) dermatitis form scaling cloaca over dorsal part body four...
This study investigates the effects of high glucose content on patients undergoing cold crystalloid versus blood cardioplegia in terms early clinical results, functional myocardial recovery and ischaemia-reperfusion injury repair acyanotic cardiac lesions.Patients were randomly assigned to receive either (n = 31) or 31). Early results assessed. Changes left ventricular fractional shortening, arterial lactate levels, central venous saturation, Troponin I release concentration measured during...
Escherichia coli (E. coli) is one of the most common bacterial causes infection in poultry farming. Whether localized or systemic, a primary secondary disease, it frequently treated through application wide-spectrum antimicrobials. Excessive use antimicrobials agriculture significantly contributing to worldwide rise antimicrobial resistance, but also very expensive and often ineffective long term. Here, we present case where colibacillosis outbreak on family farm laying hens was using an...
The generally accepted approach to D. gallinae control is based on the of infestations. reduction infection an acceptable level can temporarily prevent its harmful effects health status ofpoultry. However, reduced number continues persist in poultry environment resulting intensive increase infestation rate and consequent transmission infectious contagious diseases. Contrary suppression, eradication completely eliminates thus improving general flock providing diseases associated with this...
The effects of castration on growth performance, carcass characteristics and chemical composition m. iliotibilais cranialis pectoralis superficialis pheasants were examined. Forty reared in commercial pheasantry included the experiment. Half castrated at 8 weeks age. Values for live weight tended to be higher 24th week (P<0.1) values gain significantly between 16th (P<0.05). Feed-to-gain-ratio (8th – 32nd week) was better (P<0.05) pheasants. Eviscerated dressing percentage not different...
Birds possess a mechanism which allows passive flexion of the digits hind limbs consists two components: "automatic digital flexor mechanism" (ADFM) and "digital tendon-locking (DTLM).The aim this paper was to establish existence specificities those components in examples birds with anisodactyl (domestic chickens) zygodactyl (parrots) digit layout using standard anatomical dissection histological methods.Spatial distribution parrots' muscles central role DTLM (M.flexor digitorum longus m....
We report two outbreaks of abortion in mares associated with S. Abortusequi. First outbreak occurred the vicinity Vrbovec, herd 38 horses. Out 18 pregnant herd, within a month eight (44%) aborted. Only one foetus was admitted for post-mortem examination. Lungs, liver and spleen were submitted bacteriology culture, from all three organs heavy growth pure bacterial culture obtained. Second Gradusa Posavska, village valley Sava River, 35 weeks (11%) Lungs aborted foal testing, yielded culture....
Fungi are present in abundance poultry housing. The aim of the study was to assess effect season and microclimate parameters housing on fungal flora air broiler trachea commercial fattening conditions. conducted summer winter. Study results indicated seasonal impact association between composition trachea. However, total count significantly higher winter, both correlated with indoor relative humidity ammonia concentration. There no significant correlation outdoor temperature, airflow rate,...
This study aimed to compare fungal contamination of poultry litter between warm and cold seasons. It was carried out in commercial production conditions over two five-week fattening periods: one the summer (July-August) winter (December-January). Broilers were reared on a composed chopped straw sawdust. Litter concentration composition investigated weekly, along with temperature, moisture, pH. total fungi increased both periods, no differences median concentrations them. Season also had...
This study aimed to investigate dust and bacterial air contamination in a broiler house during different seasons. The was carried out commercial housing conditions five weeks of the rearing cycle summer winter. total concentration ranged from 1.90 4.50 mg/m3 2.80 5.10 count 2.85 × 104 1.03 105 CFU/m3 2.12 2.28 results showed be increased winter as compared summer, yielding significant correlation (r = 0.602, p < 0.05) with significantly higher airborne (p 0.001). Furthermore, correlations...
