In this study, a total of 200 male broiler chickens (Ross 308) were assigned to four dietary treatments (5 pens/treatment and 10 birds/pen) for two feeding phases: starter (0–11 days age) grower-finisher (11–33 age). A basal diet containing soy oil (SO) as added fat was used control group (C), tested against three experimental diets where the SO partially substituted by BSF larvae (BSF) or one types modified (MBSF1 MBSF2, respectively). The fats had high low ratio monobutyrin monoglycerides...
Abstract Foals commonly experience diarrhoea in the first weeks of life. Although this condition is rarely life-threatening, it can have significant health consequences. This study investigated whether new-born foals benefit from a dietary supplement nucleotides, as already demonstrated other species. Dietary nucleotides positive effects on rapidly proliferating tissues and are considered “semi-essential nutrients” since cells only limited capacity to synthesize these compounds. The aim was...
The antimicrobial and immunostimulant proprieties of aromatic plant extracts have been widely described, but their effects on serum blood biochemistry in fish not. For this study, we assessed the changes biochemical parameters rainbow trout fed with a diet supplemented basil supercritical extract (F1-BEO). Our hypothesis was that treatment time would be associated 10 parameters. F1-BEO added to commercial feed (0.5, 1, 2, 3% w/w). were for 30 days, samples collected at 2 points (15 days). A...
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...
Transportation is a recurring event in farm animal's life, and it considered one of the main stressors with possible negative repercussions for both health welfare animals. The objective present study was to examine effect transportation on some blood variables 45 young bulls moved from their original farms livestock collection centre. took no more than 8 h carried out between January March 2021. Blood samples were taken before (T0), upon arrival at centre (T1), 7 days after (T2). Samples...
The aim of the present study was to investigate ability two Italian slow-growing poultry breeds (namely,
Optimising antimicrobial usage (AMU) in livestock is pivotal to counteract the emergence of resistance. We analysed AMU more than 1000 cattle herds over 11 years (2008–2018) Aosta Valley (Italy), a region where 80% farms house less 50 cattle. Dairy cows accounted for 95% AMU. was estimated using defined daily dose animal Italy (DDDAit) per biomass whole herd and treatment incidence 100 (TI100) cows. Average annual herd-level low, with 3.6 DDDAit/biomass (range: 3.2–4.0) 1.2 TI100 1.1–1.3)....
Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) is the causative agent of chronic proliferative enteritis found in ruminants, known as (PTB). The spread PTB increasing countries with advanced animal husbandry practices, leading to significant economic losses. Moreover, a supposed zoonotic role MAP Crohn's disease (CD) humans has been discussed by scientific community; however, although association between and CD generally accepted, it still up for debate if main cause CD, contributing...
Several events in an animal's life are considered stressful. Among them, the most studied and significant transportation, weaning, adaptation to climate change. Moreover, other events, such as separation from dam, moving original farm another, management practices, regrouping with animals, new hierarchical conditions, represent routine conditions bovine's life, which can influence homeostasis. The purpose of this study is evaluate changes blood parameters 45 calves introduced into a...
