A total of 225 day-old male broiler chicks (Ross-308) were randomly allocated to five treatment groups, with three replicates in a completely randomized design for 42 days. Birds fed basal-diet supplemented with: no additive (control-diet), multi-strain probiotic (Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei, Enterococcus faecium and Bifidobacterium thermophilum), or 0.15, 0.20 0.25% ginger (Z. officinale) powder, respectively. The results show significant differences among treatments...
Worldwide, there are reports indicating that sheep raised in insular systems spontaneously consume seaweed. In the southern hemisphere, exists Durvillaea antarctica, a brown seaweed possesses minerals and fatty acids could improve some aspects of production meat quality, respectively. However, consumption this algae lambs has been scarcely studied. The objective study was to evaluate effects dietary inclusion antarctica meal on growth performance, blood profile, quality fattening lambs....
Abstract This study reports the molecular identification of a tambacu—a hybrid Colossoma macropomum and Piaractus mesopotamicus —in floodplain upper Paraná River using markers. The PCR‐GEL method, based on analysis COI TROP fragments, successfully characterized hybrid, while PCR‐SEQ, employing RAG2 markers, identified variable sites that differentiate parental species hybrid.
This study investigated the effects of dietary supplementation with probiotic Pediococcus acidilactici on reproductive performance and offspring viability male Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). A total 48 mature males were divided into three groups—Group (control, no probiotic), Group B (60-day supplementation), C (120-day supplementation). The fish kept in 10 m3 tanks at a constant temperature 9 °C under natural photoperiod evaluated for multiple physiological parameters. results demonstrate...
Helminth parasitism is a world-wide problem in livestock industries, with major impacts on health, welfare and productivity. The role of the gut microbiota host-helminth interactions ruminants has been extensively examined present study added to this body knowledge by assessing effects resistance susceptibility helminth infection gastro-intestinal tract (GIT). Australian Sheep Breeding Values (ASBVs) for faecal egg count (FEC) were used select 10 highly helminth-susceptible (High-FEC)...

Abstract Background Gastrointestinal (GIT) helminthiasis is a global problem that affects livestock health, especially in small ruminants. One of the major helminth parasites sheep and goats, Teladorsagia circumcincta , infects abomasum causes production losses, reductions weight gain, diarrhoea and, some cases, death young animals. Control strategies have relied heavily on use anthelmintic medication but, unfortunately, T. has developed resistance, as many helminths. Vaccination offers...

The influence of dietary L-carnitine and lysine (Lys)-methionine (Met) levels on productive performance, haematology triiodothyronine hormone broilers was investigated. Dietary treatments included different (0, 50 100 mg/kg) Lys-Met (0%, 10% 20% over National Research Council (NRC) (1994) recommendation levels), under a 3 × factorial design arrangement. From the findings, body weight (BW) gain, feed intake conversion ratio (FCR) were significantly (p < 0.05) influenced by in growing...
Mesquite (Prosopis spp.), a highly nutritious legume from arid regions characterized by its secondary metabolites, offers cost-effective resource to provide energy and protein for small ruminant farmers in harsh environments. In addition, the high concentrations of metabolites found mesquite pods could be an option mitigate methane (CH4) emissions. Thus, aim this study was conduct analytical review assess impact adding on productivity enteric CH4 A comprehensive structured search scientific...
Context Breech strike is a serious disease for wool sheep. Skin wrinkle and dags are known predisposing factors breech strike; however, large part of the variation among sheep unknown. Aims We studied natural diversity difference in microbial populations skin around area Merino genetically resistant susceptible to strike, by using 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. Methods The were from flocks at Mount Barker research station Western Australia CSIRO near Armidale New South Wales. samples...
Frankfurters are one of the most demanded meat products in world due to their low cost and good taste. However, they contain up 30% animal fat, which is negative for consumer’s health. Moreover, high-fat contents could also decrease frankfurter sensory properties, since it accelerates rancidity products. This fact highly dependent on fatty acids composition unsaturation promotes oxidative reactions. Currently, strategies have been developed replace fat with vegetable oils or inclusion new...
Abstract Gastrointestinal helminths are a global health issue, for humans as well domestic animals. Most studies focus on the tissues that infected with parasite, but here we studied ileum, tissue is rarely by helminths. We tested whether inflammation in ileum contributes to development and severity of diarrhoea, comparing sheep susceptible (n = 4) or resistant disease. analyzed transcriptome using RNASeq sequencing approach various bioinformatics tools including FastQC, STAR, featureCounts,...
Polymorphisms in major gene effect related to reproductive activity have been described sheep.Mutations located the GDF9 associated with increased ovulation rate and litter size.GDF9 factor is secreted by oocyte a member of family transforming growth factors (TGF-β) on chromosome 5.The aim this study was identify presence polymorphic regions (G1 G8) Araucano creole sheep.DNA extracted from 100 blood samples mutations determinated using PCR-RFLP.Two were amplified, one corresponding exon 1...
RESUMEN: La melatonina es una hormona que regula los ciclos circadianos y muchos de aspectos reproductivos mamíferos secretada por la glándula pineal en las horas ausencia luz.Esta posee receptores alta afinidad acoplados a proteínas tipo G, denominados MT1.Un polimorfismo secuencia codifica para estos estaría involucrado el control reproducción estacional ovinos.El propósito este estudio busca determinar presencia del receptor MT1 oveja criolla Araucana, un ovino local se ha registrado...
Abstract Gastrointestinal helminths infect livestock causing health problems including severe diarrhoea. To explore the underlying biological mechanisms relating to development and control of diarrhoea, we compared 4 sheep that were susceptible diarrhoea with diarrhoea-resistant. Transcriptomes in tissues where parasites located analyzed using RNASeq. By considering low-diarrhoea as control, identified 114 genes down-regulated 552 up-regulated high-diarrhoea phenotype. Functional analysis...
