Copper nanoparticles used as a dietary supplement for poultry could affect the absorption of mineral elements. Hence aim study was to determine effect administration copper chickens in drinking water on intestinal iron, zinc, and calcium. The experiment carried out 126 chicks assigned seven experimental groups 18 birds each (3 replications 6 individuals each). control group (G-C) did not receive nanoparticles. Groups: Cu-5(7), Cu-10(7), Cu-15(7) received gold their amounts 5 mg/L 10 15...
Oxidative stress plays an important role in IBD because chronic intestinal inflammation is associated with the overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) leading to oxidative stress, which has been implicated IBD. Many lines evidence suggest that imbalance between ROS and antioxidant activity generates as result either or a decrease activity. Our study was evaluate influence antioxidants on course disease treatment patients. results show increase LOOH levels positively correlates MDA...
Abstract The aim of this experiment was to determine what dosage copper (Cu) nanoparticles, added a standard dietary supplementation with sulfate, would improve antioxidant and immune defense in chickens. conducted 126 broiler chickens assigned seven treatments three pens per treatment six pen. basal‐diet did not receive Cu nanoparticles (nano‐Cu) as shown by analyses it Cu‐deficient (−29% vs. National Research Council ( NRC) recommendations; 5.7 8 mg/kg). Broiler received nano‐Cu (0.5, 1.0...
The aim of the study was to investigate effect two forms (CuCO3 (CuS); and Cu nanoparticles (CuNP)) dosages (standard 6.5 mg/kg (H), half standard (L)) additional dietary administered growing rats on gastrointestinal hepatic function morphology. Copper in form CuNP vs CuS caused lower faecal/urinal excretion increased accumulation brain tissue. Hepatic high-grade hydropic degeneration necrotic lesions were observed only CuNP-H animals. In gut, application stifled bacterial enzymatic activity...
Enzymatic activity assays, used mainly to show biochemical transformations in humans and mammals, have recently found increasing application birds. Enzyme birds is affected by numerous factors, including age, sex, species, breed, nutrition, physiological state, farming techniques. In large-scale poultry breeding, a flock that may number over ten thousand birds, individual be different stages of development disease process, respond differently stress factors present during rearing. There also...
Due to exposure of animals numerous stress-inducing factors and a high level cellular metabolism resulting from the conditions manner in which they are raised, destabilisation redox balance towards excessive activity free radical species is common phenomenon. Enhancing antioxidant status animal organism by optimising quality feeding, especially supplementation with exogenous antioxidants, may be one essential highly effective means improving health thus productivity animals. Natural plant...
The aim of the study was to analyze how per os application hydrocolloids silver nanoparticles (22 nm) and lipid-coated (5 affect immune, redox, lipid status blood broiler chickens. experiment conducted on 60 first group control (Group C). chickens in Group II received a nanoparticle hydrocolloid (Ag-nano) at dose 5 mg/kg body weight (BW) day. III (AgL-nano) BW Blood for analysis collected from 24- 38-day-old several parameters were determined. increase phagocytosis metabolic activity...
Alcoholic leaf and petal fractions of Taraxacum officinale (dandelion) were previously demonstrated to exert in vitro antioxidant antithrombotic activities blood plasma platelets. Eight-week-old male Wistar rats (n = 6) supplemented for four weeks with dandelion (694 mg/kg diet 11.9 ± 0.6 mg daily). Dandelion fractions, which delivered daily 4.10 0.05 1.41 0.07 l-chicoric acid, respectively, shown antioxidative actions, measured as decreased levels thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances...
Trace elements such as manganese (Mn) are essential for various biological processes, including enzyme activation, metabolic pathways, and antioxidant defences. Given its involvement in these critical maintaining adequate Mn levels is crucial overall health. The experimental design involved 24 male Wistar rats divided into three groups (n=8 per group): a control group receiving standard supplementation (65 mg/kg), an Mn-deficient group, supplemented with Mn2O₃ nanoparticles mg/kg). 12-week...
The experiment was carried out with 600 turkey hens of the Big 6 line aged from 1 to 16 wk. birds were assigned 5 experimental groups. factors differentiating groups chemical form and level a tocopherol (vitamin E) precursor administered as feed additive (dl-α-tocopherol acetate-E 307, according European Union Register Feed Additives). following dietary treatments used: group (control): synthetic dl-α-tocopherol acetate at inclusion 50 mg/kg (1 9 wk age) 45 (10 age), being close vitamin E...
This study evaluated the effects of including 15% raw or fermented rapeseed cake (RRC and FRC, respectively) in turkey diets on growth performance, antioxidant immune status, intestinal morphology birds. Rapeseed was using commercial 6-phytase enzyme preparation, dried. A total 1,350 day-old female Hybrid Converter turkeys were randomly allocated to 3 dietary treatments with 9 replicates per treatment 50 birds replicate. All isonitrogenous isocaloric, contained various protein sources. In...
The objective of this study was to determine the effect including 15% raw or fermented rapeseed cake (RRC FRC) in turkey diets on growth performance, carcass traits, and breast meat characteristics. A total 1,350 day-old female Hybrid Converter turkeys were allocated 3 dietary treatments (9 replicates per treatment 50 birds each) fed complete isocaloric isonitrogenous diets. In control group, soybean meal main source protein, whereas experimental groups containing RRC FRC. fermentation...
Abstract The aim of the study was to analyse how per os application hydrocolloids silver nanoparticles (22 nm) and lipid-coated nanosilver (5 affect microbiological status morphology jejunum broiler chickens their growth performance. experiment conducted on 60 chickens. first group control. in II received a nanoparticle hydrocolloid (Ag-nano) at dose 5 mg/kg b.w./day. III (AgL-nano) Samples digesta were taken from during dissection total numbers fungi, aerobic bacteria coli determined...
A hypothesis was verified that dietary methionine (Met) improves the growth and antioxidant status of turkeys, its effects depend on inclusion levels sources. total 816 female Hybrid Converter turkeys fed wheat-soybean meal-based diets supplemented with 3 sources Met: DL-, L-isomers DL-hydroxy analog (DLM, LM, MHA, respectively). In 4 4-week periods (from one to 16 wk age), Met content corresponded NRC (1994) recommendations or increased by approximately 50% (in 8 44 46% in 9 55 56% vs....
The aim of the study was to determine how a high-fat diet supplemented with various forms chromium affects hematological and immune parameters blood rats. rats received standard or at 0.3 mg/kg body weight (BW) in form chromium(III) picolinate, chromium(III)-methionine nano-sized chromium.
