Abstract The aim of the research was to determine effect newly elaborated synbiotic preparations on count dominant intestinal microorganisms, profile fatty acids (short chain – SCFA and branched BCFA), lactic acid produced performance chickens. studies determined composition microbiota with use culture method. also using high-performance liquid chromatography method (HPLC). Moreover, chickens such as daily cumulative mortality rate, feed conversion ratio (FCR) European Production Efficiency...
Biosecurity is an essential tool for rearing healthy animals. measures (BMs) are well known in poultry production, but it difficult to assess actual implementation on farms. The aims of this qualitative study were (1) provide overview biosecurity according farmers Europe; and (2) better understand the reported reasons potential obstacles not implementing measures. In seven European Union Member States, 192 (118 under contract with a company 68 independents) working different categories...
The administration of probiotics and prebiotics (synbiotics) is a promising method for detoxification ochratoxin A (OTA) in animals. aim this study was to investigate the ability five probiotic strains lactic acid bacteria (LAB) one Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast strain, from three different synbiotics poultry, detoxify OTA. In addition, we also investigated genotoxicity faecal water (FW) chickens after administering OTA and/or 42 days.All tested LAB had by significant (P < 0.05) reducing...
Compliance with required on-farm biosecurity practices reduces the risk of contamination and spread zoonotic economically important diseases. With repeating avian influenza epidemics in poultry industry, need to monitor improve overall level is increasing. In practice, compliance assessed by various actors (e.g., academic, private public institutions), results such assessments may be recorded gathered databases which are seldom shared or thoroughly analyzed. This study aimed provide an...
Poultry producers’ attitudes towards biosecurity practices were assessed by using the ADKAR® (Awareness, Desire, Knowledge, Ability, and Reinforcement) behavioral change model. Conventional poultry producers (n = 155) from different production types including broilers 35), layers 22), breeders 24), turkeys 19), ducks 23), free-range 11), hatcheries 10) seven European countries scored for each ADKAR element (1 total absence to 5 perfect fulfilment). Each country performed selected...
The knowledge of the correct morphological and biochemical parameters in mute swans is an important indicator their health status, body condition, adaptation to habitat useful diagnostic tools veterinary practice ecological research. aim study was obtain hematological relation age, sex serum biochemistry values wild-living swans. We found significant differences erythrocyte count, hematocrit, hemoglobin concentration sedimentation rate age There were no between males females. leukogram H/L...
Histomonosis (histomoniasis, blackhead), beside coccidiosis, belongs to the most important parasitic protozoan diseases in poultry. So far Histomonas meleagridis infections with varied mortality rates have been mainly diagnosed young turkeys. Recently an increasing number of cases reported chicken flocks Europe resulting economic losses. It is thought that this situation predominantly caused by a complete withdrawal effective antihistomonals EU. Authors listed selected outbreaks histomonosis...
The presence and biological role of extracellular DNA (eDNA) have been explored in diverse microbial environments. Nonetheless, it has not studied the chicken gut microbiome. This study aims to investigate eDNA cecum, analyzing cecal samples from broiler chickens using three preparation methods: Whole Cecal Suspension (WCS), Washed Cell Pellets (WCP), Cell-Free Supernatant (CFS). 16S rRNA gene-based microbiota analysis revealed distinct communities CFS compared WCS WCP (p = 0.001). Notably,...
Feline injection-site sarcomas are malignant skin tumours with a high local recurrence rate, ranging from 14% to 28%. The treatment of feline includes radical surgery, radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy. In our previous study it has been demonstrated that doxorubicin conjugated glutathione-stabilized gold nanoparticles (Au-GSH-Dox) higher cytotoxic effects than free for fibrosarcoma cell lines glycoprotein P activity (FFS1, FFS3). aim the present was assess effectiveness intratumoural...
In this study, the influence of new multi-strain synbiotics on chicken growth performance, hematology, serum biochemistry and immunity was explored. Each synbiotic preparation (A, B C) comprised three, four or five strains Lactobacillus sp., respectively, as well S. cerevisiae inulin. All used in originated from wild-type animal farms Poland. Six groups chickens, ROSS 308 line, were fed with three different at a dose 0.5 g/1 kg feed. Body weight, biochemical hematological parameters animals...
This paper describes the selection and validation of supporting measures (SMs) aimed at enhancing biosecurity compliance within Italian poultry farms. A tailored methodology, based on a stakeholders’ survey involving farmers advisors, included virtual farm tour, group discussion, farmer coaching. Virtual tours discussions were delivered during two meetings targeting meat egg production stakeholders, separately. Coaching was validated in 26 pilot farms (PFs) by assessing farmers’ attitudes...
The chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) model is well described in human medicine as a cost-effective, easy to perform preclinical oncological for observing pro- and antiangiogenic response, tumor biology metastasis. main objective of this article was present the modification CAM assay order evaluate growth from two feline fibrosarcoma cell lines (FFS1, FFS3) describe their morphological histopathological features.The authors features (FFS1 grown on CAM. Tumors FFS1 line showed high...
ABSTRACT The aim of the study was to assess safety three newly developed synbiotic preparations in feeding chickens. carried out on 84 Specific Pathogen Free chickens, between 1st and 21st day their life. Animals were divided into four groups fed ad libitum: with an addition synbiotics A, B or C a control group (feed no additives). Synbiotics contained Lactobacillus, Saccharomyces cerevisiae inulin (prebiotic). Rearing parameters determined taking account undesirable clinical sectional...
Feline vaccine associated fibrosarcomas are the second most common skin tumor in cats. Methods of treatment are: surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Nevertheless, usage cytostatics feline sarcoma therapy is limited due to their adverse side effects, high toxicity low biodistribution after i.v. injection. Therefore, much research on new therapeutic drugs being conducted. In human medicine, chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) model used as a cheap easy perform assay assess drug...
The chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) model is extensively used in human medicine preclinical oncological studies. CAM has several advantages: low cost, simple experimental approach, time saving and following "3R principles". Research shown that the osteosarcoma cell lines U2OS, MMNG-HOS, SAOS can form tumors on CAM. In veterinary medicine, this been described only for feline fibrosarcomas, mammary carcinomas canine osteosarcomas. However, case of osteosarcomas, it non-adherent...
Mycotoxins, such as Ochratoxin A (OTA), originating from fungi like Aspergillus and Penicillium, represent serious health hazards to poultry. The use of mycotoxin-adsorbing feed additives can reduce these risks. Opoka, a porous transitional rock, shows promise one additives. This study is the first examine effect Opoka administered with OTA on zootechnical parameters immune response chickens. 42-day investigation examined impact 1% supplementation in OTA-challenged broiler Seventy-two...
The aim of the present study was to evaluate ability Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale (ORT) colonize chosen organs chicks infected intratracheally (group A1), or intravenously A2), with use bacteriological methods and PCR. enabled reisolate ORT bacteria from trachea lungs birds group A1 only on day 3 6 after infection. PCR technique additionally detected bacterial genetic material in these 9th infection, gave positive results samples air sacs until 6th experiment. In (A2) reisolated liver...
Abstract The primary aim of poultry production is to obtain a high yield and quality end product. To reduce the risk disease, many direct-fed microbial products have been developed. That appears be an excellent tool for disease prevention. We evaluated influence commercial, competitive exclusion (CE) product, Broilact®, on growth rate, hematology, serum biochemistry, innate immunity in male ROSS-308 chickens, randomly divided into two groups (Broilact® treatment control) raised 42 days....
