The present research studied for the first time potential application of fat derived from black soldier fly larvae (BSLF) in substitution to soybean oil diet broiler chickens: growth performances, feed-choice, blood traits, carcass characteristics and meat quality were considered this study. A total 150 male chicks (Ross 308) at one-day age randomly allotted 3 dietary treatments (5 replicates 10 birds/pen): a basal control (C group), same which was replaced by 50% (CH group) or 100% (H BSLF....
The present study has evaluated the effects of different inclusion levels a partially defatted black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens L.; HI) larva meal on growth performance, blood parameters and gut morphology broiler chickens. A total 256 male chickens (Ross 308) were reared from d 1 to 35 assigned 4 dietary treatments (8 replicates/treatment 8 birds/replicate). HI was included at increasing (0, 5%, 10% 15%; HI0, HI5, HI10 HI15, respectively) in isonitrogenous isoenergetic diets formulated...
The objective of the present study was to evaluate effects partial or total replacement finisher diet soybean oil with black soldier fly (Hermethia illucens L.; HI) larva fat on growth performance, carcass traits, blood parameters, intestinal morphology and histological features broiler chickens. At 21 days age, a 120 male chickens (Ross 308) were randomly allocated three experimental groups (five replicates eight birds/pen). To basal control (C; 68.7 g/kg as fed oil), either 50% 100%...
This study evaluated the effects of Tenebrio molitor (TM) larvae meal inclusion in diets for broilers. A total 160 male broiler chicks (Ross 708) at one-day age were randomly allotted to four dietary treatments: a control (C) group and three TM groups, which was included 50 (TM5), 100 (TM10), 150 (TM15) g/kg, respectively. The experimental isonitrogenous isoenergetic. Each consisted five pens as replicates (8 chicks/pen). After evaluation growth performance haematochemical parameters,...
Summary Insects are currently being considered as a novel protein source for animal feeds, because they contain large amount of protein. The larvae Tenebrio molitor ( TM ) have been shown to be an acceptable broiler chickens in terms growth performance, but till now, no data on histological or intestinal morphometric features reported. This study has had the aim evaluating effects dietary inclusion welfare, morphology and free‐range chickens. A total 140 medium‐growing hybrid female were...
The present work aimed at evaluating the effect of dietary replacement soybean oil (S) by two types insect fats extracted from black soldier fly larvae (H, Hermetia illucens L.) and yellow mealworm (T, Tenebrio molitor on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, blood parameters, intestinal morphology health growing rabbits.At weaning, 200 crossbred rabbits (36 days old) were allotted to five treatments (40 rabbits/group): a control diet (C) containing 1.5% four experimental diets where...
Donkey milk is considered as a functional food for sensitive consumers, such children who are allergic to cow milk. No information available regarding the effect of farming systems on quality donkey The present study aimed evaluate system and lactation stage with respect gross composition, well fat-soluble vitamins fatty acids (FA).Individual samples were collected from lactating jennies (n = 53) six largest farms located in North West Italy. performance jennies, herd characteristics feeding...
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a neural disorder gradually leading to paralysis of the whole body. Alterations in superoxide dismutase SOD1 gene have been linked with several variants familial ALS. Here, we investigated transgenic (Tg) cloned swine model expressing human pathological hSOD1G93A allele. As patients, these Tg pigs transmitted disease progeny an autosomal dominant trait and showed ALS onset from about 27 months age. Post mortem analysis revealed motor neuron (MN)...
Urban parks are green areas of cities where families and children spend hours outside. Turtles often inhabit urban parks. However, even if the animals seem harmless, they may serve as both reservoirs or accidental hosts for different serotypes Leptospira spp. is a waterborne zoonotic bacterium relevant public health. Reptiles amphibians play role in epidemiology, transmission, persistence In present study, we observed presence anti-leptospiral agglutinins group freshwater turtles (Trachemys...
Echinacea pallida (EPAL), also known as pale purple coneflower, is a herbaceous flowering plant with immune-enhancement and antioxidative properties. The effect of EPAL on the reproductive performance, serum biochemistry haematological parameters rabbit does has been studied here. A total 100, 21-week-old Grimaud does, were randomly assigned to two groups. One group was fed basal diet supplemented 3 g EPAL/kg (Echinacea group, E), while other without supplementation (control C). performance...
Twelve biochemical parameters were measured in serum blood samples from rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) maintained under controlled conditions. Forty-five taken every 3 months (T1–T4) over the course of one year to define baseline values. The effect fish total weight (TW) was also evaluated. Principal component analysis showed a clear separation between T4 and T1, T2 T3, indicating an increase certain with weight. Linear regression how TW significantly explained 11–67% variability...
Enrofloxacin (E) is commonly used in veterinary medicine. It necessary to perform pharmacokinetic/dynamic studies minimize the selection of resistant mutants bacteria and extend efficacy antimicrobial agents. Eight healthy adult Pogona vitticeps were assigned into two groups equal size treated with a single intramuscular injection E at 10 mg/kg. Blood samples withdrawn different scheduled times for each group, rectal swabs collected. ciprofloxacin (active metabolite) blood concentrations...
Echinacea pallida (EPAL), a herbaceous flowering plant with immunomodulatory properties, has been chosen to determine the pre- and post-supplementary effects on growth performances, bacterial community, blood parameters immunity of growing rabbits. The same Grimaud does (14-week-old) from studied in first part this study were randomly divided into two groups (n=50/group). group was fed basal diet without supplementation (Control group, C) while another supplemented 3 g EPAL/kg (Echinacea E)....
The Italian Piedmontese cattle breed is traditionally housed in tie-stalls and, to a lesser extent, loose housing systems with free stalls. present study has compared the same group of 15 before and after stable renovation (tie-stall vs free-stall housing) funded by Regulation (EU) No. 1305/2013. All animals remained healthy during trial, no clinical signs were observed mastitis occurred. tested parameters were: locomotion scoring system, salivary cortisol, blood parameters, serum acute...
