The quantification of adenosine deaminase (ADA) in porcine saliva samples has been analyzed for its use as a marker disease. First, an analytical validation the enzymatic assay used ADA measurements was performed. Afterwards, were collected from 50 healthy animals and 64 with different symptoms disease, which divided into local inflammation, gastrointestinal disorder, respiratory disorder growth retardation. To optimize measurements, total (tADA), specific (sADA) isoforms 1 2 activities...

This paper analyzes the association between stress and immune response activations in different diseases, based on salivary analytics. Moreover, a first attempt to discriminate diseases was performed by principal component analysis. The analytics consisted of measurement psychosocial (cortisol alpha-amylase) indicators, innate (acute phase proteins: C-reactive protein haptoglobin), adaptive (adenosine deaminase, Cu Zn) markers oxidative parameters (antioxidant capacity status). A total 107...

In the search for new food sources that contribute to optimization of livestock production this paper discusses possibility using waste (called banquettes) a marine plant commonly found on Mediterranean coasts: Posidonia oceanica. The idea stems from use in summertime generates large costs because it is considered bothersome beaches. Thus, tons and residues are collected each year beach, being destined incineration. However, alternative uses these suggested, such as forage particularly...

Abstract Background The concentration of biomarkers in saliva could be influenced by several factors not related to the specific condition under analyses, which should considered for proper clinical interpretation. In present study, circadian rhythm C-reactive protein (CRP), haptoglobin (Hp), Pig-MAP, S100A12, Cu, Zn, Adenosine deaminase (ADA), total (TP), antioxidant capacity (TAC), oxidant status (TOS), oxidative stress index (OSI), cortisol and α-amylase 20 female male pigs was...

For growth-rate retardation in commercial growing pigs suffering from non-infectious diseases, no biomarker is available for early detection and prevention of the condition or diagnosis affected animals. The point question that underlying pathological pathway still unknown multiple nutritional management issues could be cause disease. Common health status markers such as acute phase proteins, adenosine deaminase activity total antioxidant capacity did not show any alteration saliva animals...

This study is focused on the measurement of trace elements (zinc, copper, cadmium, lead and selenium) in saliva pigs order to their levels different porcine pathological conditions field. The experiment involved 15 without clinical signs disease 42 diseased (suffering from lameness, rectal prolapse, fatigue or growth rate retardation). Individual samples were collected, allowing chew a sponge each for element quantifications through atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). Since this first...

Abstract. Between the ages of 23 and 35 weeks, various serum metabolites enzymes were monitored in three 10-animal groups double-muscled Belgian Blue bull calves maintained a feedlot Galicia (NW Spain) on high-grain finishing diets that mainly differed whether grain used was predominantly maize (group M), barley B), or mixture approximately equal proportions MB). The parameters determined glucose, non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA), total protein concentration (TSP), albumin, urea nitrogen...

Abstract BACKGROUND The marine plant Posidonia oceanica (L.) Delile can be a source of fibre to increase the efficiency product costs. aim present study was assess productive (milk production and performance) metabolic (blood metabolites) effects P. in ration dairy goats as substitute for straw. used at 225 450 g day −1 per goat lieu barley RESULT Supplementation with had no detrimental on body weight, milk status goats. Goats fed produced more fat, lower somatic cell count their showed...

Abstract Enzyme adenosine deaminase (ADA) is a marker of inflammation in domestic animals, but it unclear whether reliable oxidative stress, especially the transition period dairy cows. This study aims to assess if ADA and redox status measurements saliva provide same utility detect disease condition as that obtained from serum. Sixty-eight multiparous Holstein cows, between 2 3 weeks postpartum were selected. Five groups established: control (healthy), cows with ketosis, mastitis,...

The inclusion in the diet of biological products a biodegradable nature is highly valued strategy with many advantages. Posidonia oceanica seagrass species which may be used as substitute for straw. In this study, one group goats (control) was fed normal that contained straw, while straw other replaced by P. oceanica. No significant differences were found between control and experimental regarding main physicochemical sensorial parameters resulting milk cheese; although cheese from firmer...

Abstract BACKGROUND The marine plant Posidonia oceanica (L.) (PO) has been demonstrated in goats to be a source of fibre. aim the present study was assess effects introducing this as substitute for barley straw feed mature ewes, assessing its addition on intake, digestibility and ruminal fermentation ewes' metabolic profiles (energy protein). PO used at 75 g day −1 per ewe (15% total forage), 150 (30% forage) 300 (60% forage). RESULTS Substitution 15% forage with no negative consequences dry...

This study investigated the in vivo effects of a commercial blend plant extracts (carvacrol, cinnamaldehyde and capsaicin) on blood acid-base balance serum lactate levels 148-day feedlot experimentwith 24 double-muscled Belgian Blue bull calves. Animals were allotted randomly to one two experimental groups: 1) control group (C, no supplementation; n = 10), 2) receiving dietary supplementation with combination (PE, 100 mg per kg DM concentrate; 14). All animals received high-grain ration,...

This study compared two grain processing methods that are widely used for beef cattle, grinding and steam pelleting, with respect to serum metabolic parameters: glucose, non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA), urea nitrogen (SUN), total protein (TSP), albumin, L-lactate, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), γ-glutamyltransferase (GGT) amylase.Ten Belgian Blue bull calves were allotted randomly each of experimental groups: PF, fed pelleted concentrate, GF, ground concentrate.During the 77-day most...
