The objectives of this research were, first, to determine the concentrations certain heavy metals in edible tissue wild brown trout (Salmo trutta trutta) from two different rivers located Abruzzi region (Italy), and then, investigate levels variation vitellogenin (VTG) associated with presence metalloestrogens. VTG is an effective indicator for endocrine disturbance, increase male fish widely employed as a biomarker estrogenic contamination aquatic environment. muscles were analyzed As, Cd,...
This study aimed to assess the biological and sanitary conditions of alien fish in a high-mountain lake (Balma Lake) located Cottian Alps. A single sampling session (August 2018) using gillnets collected 90 specimens brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis). Sex age were determined (59 females 31 males, class 0+ 4+). Regression analysis showed no difference total weight length between males (ANCOVA: F = 0.453; p 0.954). The mean condition factor (Kmean) decreased with increasing for females....
In 2013, the European Union (EU) lifted feed ban restriction, authorizing use of non-ruminant (NR) processed animal proteins (PAPs) as ingredient in aquafeed. A further relaxation is soon expected, and NR PAPs will be allowed next future poultry pig feed, avoiding cannibalism. Other potential hazards linked to raw material should evaluated. Antibiotics administered along lifecycle animals may leave residue tissues bones still present PAPs. This monitoring study aimed determine tetracyclines...
The present study aimed to determine trace elements in Mediterranean mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) from an experimental pilot farm of the Calich Lagoon, a typical Sardinian brackish area (Italy). Two sampling sessions were scheduled February and May 2019 occurrence 24 metals (Hg, Ag, Al, As, Be, Bi, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ga, In, Mg, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, Rb, Se, Sn, Ti, V, Zn) bivalves was considered. Environmental conditions water (temperature, salinity, pH, dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll a)...
Early in this century, the crisis connected to spread of bovine spongiform encephalopathy caused a great concern related use animal by-products (ABPs). According Commission Regulation (EU) No 1069/2009, these materials are classified three categories according their risk. In 2011 142/2011 established that meat and bone meal (MBM) fat deriving from ABPs not intended for human consumption (category 1 2) required be permanently marked with glyceroltriheptanoate (GTH), at minimum concentration...
The toxicity of water samples from distribution plants needs to be investigated further. Indeed, studies on the pro-oxidant effects driven by tap are very limited. In this study, quality, effects, and potential health risks exposure groundwater two (sites A B) located in Northwestern Italy were a multi-level system. Physicochemical parameters absence pathogens, cyanotoxins, endocrine active substances indicated good quality for both sites. 25 metals analyzed found under limit quantification...
Medicated feeds are widely used to treat bacterial infection in poultry, pig and aquaculture.During feed production process, carry-over can occur as an unintentional but unavoidable presence of traces active substances a batch the next ones.Sharing information overall among different countries is crucial step order contain development microbial drug resistance, which represent key concern research priority.So far, European Union (EU) rules do not provide any action limit for antibiotics...
Complete animal welfare evaluation in intensive farming is challenging. With this study, we investigate new biomarkers for physical and mental health by comparing plasma expression of biochemical indicators dairy cows reared three different systems: (A) semi-intensive free-stall, (B) non-intensive tie-stall, (C) free-stall. Additionally, protein levels mature brain-derived neurotrophic factor (mBDNF) its precursor form (proBDNF) indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO1) specific activity were...
Abstract Insects represent a valuable and environmentally friendly protein alternative in food feed. The Farm to Fork strategy encouraged the reintroduction of animal by-products feed production optimize recycling valorise under-used resources. In order grant safe products, this study investigated black soldier fly (BSF) ( Hermetia illucens ) chemical risk.Samples collected different steps (8 samples substrate for culturing, 7 larvae, 15 meal, 18 spent substrate) were analysed essential...
Abstract Background Following the bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in 2001, processed animal proteins (PAPs) reintroduction is envisaged non-ruminant feed thanks to their high protein content, easy availability and cost-effective characteristics. PAPs must be submitted rendering practices, providing sterilization of products, under standardized conditions temperature pressure, according Regulation (EC) No 142/2011. However, chemical risk associated these raw materials has been never...
