<h2>Abstract</h2> Confidence intervals for blood parameters used nutritional and metabolic profile testing in cattle were calculated clinically normal lactating Holstein cows, taking into account the effects of parity, stage lactation, season. Blood samples collected from 740 cows 33 Italian dairy herds according to a predefined protocol. Herds visited during summer following winter, sampling 12 at each visit (4 primiparous 8 multiparous). Six selected early-lactation group (days milk: 10...
Silymarin, the standardized extract of Silybum marianum, is used as a hepatoprotector in man, and potent antihepatotoxic agent. This study focused on effects silymarin-phospholipid complex reducing toxic aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) broiler chickens. Twenty-one 14-d-old male commercial broilers were randomly allotted to 3 groups treated follows: basal diet alone [Group C (Control)]; AFB1 at 0.8 mg/kg feed B1]; plus silymarin phytosome, complexed form with phospholipids from soy, 600 BW B1+Sil]....
While the ethnic food market has become increasingly important in Italy, effects of hybridization consumption patterns have been slowed by a consolidated culinary tradition. This study investigates relationships among consumption, neophobia, and openness to different cultures with sociodemographic characteristics. A sample 1317 Italian consumers responded an online survey. The profile neophobic consumer appears substantially differ from that attitude openness. Neophobic respondents are...
Several factors drive consumer behavior in buying meat, particularly rabbit meat. The consumption of rabbits has decreased Europe, and the main causes this trend are an increasing association with perception as pets, consumers' changes lifestyle, eating habits. Additionally, attention is paid to ethical issues regarding animal welfare. Investigating knowledge, perceptions, concerns about meat production crucial for improving market strategies. This study investigated perspectives provide...
Reference limits for metabolic profiles in Holstein late-pregnant heifers and dry cows were determined considering the effects of parity, days relative to calving, season. Blood samples collected from 104 pregnant 186 (68 primiparous 118 pluriparous) 60 10 d before expected calving date 31 dairy farms northeastern Italy. Sampling was performed during summer (182 samples) following winter (108 samples). All animals judged as clinically healthy at a veterinary visit sampling. Outliers removed...
This study investigated which information sources Italian consumers use most frequently when they have a question about food safety in order to obtain useful insights inform risk communication. In 2011, national survey was conducted targeting people responsible for purchasing and preparing their households. Respondents' choices of on were correlated with socio-demographic behavioural characteristics, levels objective knowledge, trust towards some authorities self-perception regarding...
In cattle fattening, the illicit use of growth promoters (GPs) represents a major problem. The synthetic corticosteroid dexamethasone (DEX) is GP mostly used, alone or in combination with other steroids beta-agonists. Recently, GPs were shown to disrupt some cytochromes P450 (CYPs) at post-transcriptional level; therefore, effects two protocols containing DEX (alone together 17beta-estradiol, 17betaE) upon main liver drug metabolizing enzymes (DMEs) mRNAs and related transcription factors...
Carbon monoxide (CO) interferes with inflammatory and apoptotic processes associated ischemia-reperfusion injury graft rejection. Here, the in vitro effects of carbon releasing molecule-3 (CORM-3), a novel water-soluble carbonyl CO carrier, have been investigated on porcine aortic endothelial cells (PAEC) primate peripheral blood mononuclear (PBMC). Furthermore, pharmacodynamics pharmacotolerance CORM-3 after administration single multiple doses assessed view its potential application...
A new application of a device enabling the long-term enteral administration drugs or nutritional supplementation was developed for implementing in research entailing use macaques (Macaca fascicularis). After implanting subcutaneous port, surgically-placed gastrostomy (SPG) completed to afford access gastric lumen and enable substances. In this study, left place period ranging between two 12 months (n= 16). five cases, SPG used successfully 8-12 months, until experimental endpoint reached....
With the aim to contribute determination of an adequate resting time for cattle after long transportation, effects different lairage times on some haematic parameters and meat quality bulls subjected commercial journeys were investigated. Thirty-nine Limousine supplied by one farm located near Saragoza (Spain) examined 5 consignments at final destination, following a journey 2,550 km "San Giorgio" abattoir (Palermo, Italy). Transport was 53.6±10.9h; duration 1st, 3rd 5th 31h average ("Short...
Growth performance, behavior, physiology, forestomach development, abomasal lesions, and meat quality of veal calves fed a milk-replacer diet (No Water) were compared to those obtained from the same provided with increasing amounts drinking water (Water). Two groups 69 Polish Friesian calves, balanced according initial BW, assigned two treatments in 3 x 2 factorial arrangement that solid feed addition feed, 250 g calf(-1) d(-1) wheat straw or amount beet pulp), adoption housing systems...
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects rumenocentesis procedure on dairy cows by determining selected metabolic and physiological variables representing health status. Two groups 6 either underwent (GA) or sham (GB) procedures. Superficial skin temperature area measured using infrared thermography before (-1 h), immediately after (0 at 48 h, 96 20 days following rumenocentesis. Blood samples were collected all times, except for immunologic response determined. Milk yield...
Abstract In the summer of 2017, several European Union Member States were involved in a food alert caused by presence fipronil pesticide residues chicken eggs. The became major news and received wide coverage both mass media on Internet. This article describes study that analyzed how Italian online information sources represented alert, using web monitoring techniques manual automatic content analysis methods. results indicate was amplified because general could represent within frame...
Growth performance, behaviour, cleanliness, carcass traits and meat quality of 48 Simmental young bulls housed on slatted floor or straw bedding with the same space allowance were compared in study, which lasted 250 days. The animals (initial body weight = 321.2 ± 34.1 kg) assigned to 8 balanced groups, according their initial weight. All groups reared separate pens a 3 m2head. Four had concrete covered while other fully made slats. received diet provided ad libitum.Type did not affect...
