This study was conducted to examine the effects of a combined supplementation Aspergillus awamori (AA) and lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in feed on growth egg quality. Hens (28-week old) were fed basal diet as control group; diets supplemented with 0.05% AA, 0.10% LAB, or combination AA LAB (6 birds/group) for 6 weeks. The performance birds improved by all treatments. Synergistic observed intake, production, total weight conversion (p < .05). Weights heights yolk albumin not affected treatment...
Sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L.) has many beneficial health properties. In our previous study we showed suppression of hyperglycaemia, water intake, decreased sorbitol levels in the lens eyes after sea m(Hippophae treatment Zucker diabetic fatty rats (animal model type 2 diabetes mellitus, T2DM) with better antioxidant properties dried berries. Afterwards, decided to compare effects metformin (150 mg/kg b.wt.) and berries (500 or 1000 leaves infusion per os administration on liver...
The aim of the present work was to investigate effect Rhus coriaria L. inclusion diet on some biochemical, haematological parameters and level antioxidant status male rabbits. Adult rabbits were divided into five groups: one control (C) four experimental groups. Experimental animals received sumac per os in feed various doses (0.50%, 0.75%, 1.00% 1.50%) for 90 days. Significant increase PDWc (platelet distribution width) E3 group when compared with recorded. Sumac administration resulted...
In this study the effects of nickel (NiCl2) administered in drinking water (0.02; 0.2 and 2.0 mg NiCl2/L for 28 days) on laying hen body weight, egg production quality is reported. Growth parameters during experiment were significantly decreased mainly group with highest concentration. total dose–dependent decrease all experimental groups was found. Egg weight affected Specific not altered. Albumen albumen content concentration comparison control group. yolk analysis detected level. color a...
This study examined for the first time whether bee bread (BB, consisting of monofloral rape pollen) could alleviate lipid derangements and reduced bone quality in Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats, which are considered an appropriate animal model type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) investigation. Adult ZDF rats were segregated into four groups: lean non-diabetic (L group), obese untreated (C those treated with BB at two doses (500 700 mg/kg body weight, respectively, B1 B2 groups) 10 weeks....
Molybdenum (Mo) is an essential trace element and it plays important role in cell functions. The mechanism of the action molybdenum connection with growth factor IGF–I, proliferation-related peptide cyclin B1 apoptosis-related caspase-3 has not been examined previously porcine ovarian granulosa cells. general objective this vitro study was to examine secretory activity cells after experimental Mo administration outline potential intracellular mediators its effects. Ovarian were incubated...
The purpose of this study was to determine certain blood biochemical parameters in hens Isa Brown breed (n = 20) after nickel administration. Animals were divided into four groups (K, P1, P2, P3). Experimental 5; each group) received (NiCl2) as peroral administration drinking water various doses (P1 – 0.02 g NiCl2/L; P2 0.2 P3 2.0 NiCl2/L water) for 28 days. last group K 5) the control, receiving no nickel. Biochemical mineral profile (calcium; phosphorus; magnesium; sodium; potassium) and...

The aim of the present study was to analyse effect two organic acids (acetic and citric acid) inclusion on serum parameters level antioxidant status broiler chickens. Some acidifiers reduce growth many intestinal bacteria, colonisation infectious processes, decrease inflammatory processes at mucosa, increase villus height function secretion, digestion absorption nutrients. Broiler chickens hybrid Ross 308 (n=180) were divided into 3 groups: one control (C) experimental groups (E1, E2)....
Citrinin (CTN) is a secondary product of fungal metabolism and contaminant various food feed materials. This mycotoxin produced by several strains belonging to the genera Penicillium, Aspergillus Monascus. In vitro in vivo studies have shown clear evidence for reproductive toxicity teratogenic, nephrotoxic, hepatotoxic embryotoxic effects citrinin. Mycotoxins can interfere cascade cell machinery thus affect cellular function. known that spread over world, however mechanism its action other...
The concentrations of biochemical parameters (calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, potassium, glucose, total cholesterol, proteins, triglycerides, alanine aminotransferase ALT, aspartate AST, gamma glutamyl transferase GGT and glutamatdehydrogenase GLDH) their correlations in blood serum Isa brown breed laying hens after nickel administration were analyzed. Animals divided into four groups (K, P1, P2, P3). Experimental (5 each group) received (NiCl ) per os drinking water various dose (P1...
Cornelian cherry (Cornus mas L.) is a medicinal plant with range of biological features. It often used as nutritional supplement in the treatment diabetes mellitus. Our study was aimed to first investigate effects pulp on bone quality parameters Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats. Moreover, lipid-lowering properties this fruit were also evaluated. Adult rats (n = 28) assigned into four groups seven individuals each: L group (non-diabetic lean rats), C (diabetic obese and E1 E2 receiving 500...
This is a pilot study dealing with the reduced femoral bone structure in Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats following 10 weeks treatment bee bread and Cornelian cherries. The adult ZDF were divided into 4 groups: E1 group received (500 mg/kg b.w. daily), E2 cherries per day), E3 was simultaneously supplemented by + 500 C served as an untreated control. A non-significant decrease blood glucose, total cholesterol, triglyceride concentrations, ALP activity increase insulin, body weight of rats,...
The objective of study was to evaluate the effects a diet supplemented with bee bread powder on chemical composition Japanese quail meat. A total 80 one day-old quails were assigned 4 treatments: 1. control (C), 2. experimental (2 g.kg-1 feed mixture (FM); E1), 3. (4 FM; E2) and 4.
