The aim of this study was to assess modulatory effects dietary supplements mannan oligosaccharide (MOS) and clinoptilolite (CPL) as potential alternatives antibiotic growth promoters (AGP) given 4-week old pigs at weaning (Day 0) on their innate/adaptive immunity by determining: alterations in C-reactive protein (CRP) haptoglobin (HpG) serum levels, efficiency blood monocytes (MO) neutrophilic granulocytes (GR) for vitro phagocytosis (PHC)/microbicidity (MBC) proportion extrathymic double...
Dairy goats are a very successful form of livestock farming in developing countries, with functional products for human consumption, which makes their breeding attractive. Breeding efficiency is determined by reproductive parameters. Several parameters can be used as indicators success, such the number kids born, age at first kidding, kidding interval, percentage born and weaned, abortion rate, body weight birth weaning, length goat's life. Due to seasonality reproduction multiple...
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects dietary zeolite clinoptilolite on re- productive performance, serum progesterone and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) concentra- tions in 78 Holstein Friesian (HF) cows during pregnancy lactation. were divided into two groups comprising 40 (control group; CON) 38 (CPL group) cows. To assess repro- ductive performance HF following variables registered: interval from calv- ing first insemination (days open service, DFS), calving...
The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the addition cysteamine in vitro culture media enhances yield, hatching rate, total cell number and inner mass/total ratio bovine embryos. A 933 oocytes collected from ovaries 60 slaughtered donors were subjected maturation fertilization. Following fertilization, embryos cultured synthetic oviductal fluid without glucose. After 24 h transferred into with 1.5 mM glucose 0 (control), 50, 100 200 µM cysteamine. 48 h, but until Day 9. cleaved on 2,...
Bovine mastitis is the most frequent disease on dairy farms, which leads to a decrease in health welfare of animals and great economic losses. This study was aimed at determining quantitative variations milk proteome caused by natural infection Staphylococcus Streptococcus species order gain further understanding any discrepancies pathophysiology host immune responses, independent level. After identification (N = 51) 67) spp., tandem mass tag (TMT)-labeled proteomic liquid...
Dairy cows can suffer from a negative energy balance (NEB) during their transition the dry period to early lactation, which increase risk of postpartum diseases such as clinical ketosis, mastitis, and fatty liver. Zeolite clinoptilolite (CPL), due its ion-exchange property, has often been used treat NEB in animals. However, limited information is available on dynamics global metabolomics proteomic profiles serum that could provide better understanding associated altered biological pathways...
The objectives of this study were to determine whether or not dietary clinoptilolite (CPL) has an influence on the levels calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), phosphorus (P), potassium (K) and sodium (Na) in blood serum dairy cows during gravidity early lactation.The was conducted 78 Holstein-Friesian breed.The randomly assigned into two groups: CPL-fed treated group (n = 38) which received 50 g natural powdered zeolite CPL twice a day from 180 days before 60 after parturition, control non-treated...
The aim of this study was to establish the exact haematological and clinical biochemistry reference values for horses Murinsulaner breed, using complete population in Croatia (n = 33) sampling.Haemoglobin concentrations (HB), red blood cell count (RBC), white (WBC), packed volume (PCV), mean corpuscular (MCV), haemoglobin concentration (MCHC), (MCH), platelet differential counts were determined.Clinical included activity GGT, AST, ALT, CK, ALP, LDH AMYL, glucose (GLUC), total protein (TP),...
Mastitis je upalna reakcija organizma na infekciju sekretornog dijela mliječne žlijezde. Uzročnici mastitisa dijele se bojanjem po Gramu Gram-pozitivne i Gramnegativne; prema etiologiji kontagiozne uvjetovane uzročnike. Kontagiozni uzročnici najčešće prenose tijekom mužnje prouzroče dugotrajne, kronične mastitise, uglavnom subkliničkog tijeka. Za razliku od njih, uvjetovani u pravilu izazivaju kratkotrajne infekcije, ali s češćim kliničkim manifestacijama. Inficirane krave otkrivaju...
Mastitis, an inflammation of the mammary gland, is most widespread health problem dairy cows, goats and sheep. Its prevention treatment contribute to significant financial loss milk producers. New research shows that total due clinical mastitis in cows estimated between 110 550 litres per lactation, depending on individual cow. The costs include unusable milk, medications veterinary care costs, extra labour premature culling. Depending form treatments cost 50 150 US animal. Antibiotic...
