Nitrate and nitrite, commonly added to meat products as sodium or potassium salts, serve multiple functions such developing characteristic flavor, inhibiting microbial growth, controlling rancidity by preventing lipid oxidation. Nitrites are recognized for their potential health risks humans. The present research aimed determine the amount of nitrite in four product categories Serbia over a period from 2015 2021. A total 923 samples were analyzed, including 293 finely chopped sausages, 203...
The first case of African swine fever in domestic pigs Serbia was 2019. following year, the disease confirmed wild boar. Thenceforth, ASF has been continuously reported both and pigs. outbreaks could not be linked directly to boars, even though boars were endemically infected, reservoirs for ASF. This study aimed investigate routes transmission a region central where no boar reported. Fourteen on backyard farms with low biosecurity traced back, connection found. epidemic investigation...
Introduction Infectious Bronchitis (IB) is an acute, highly contagious disease of poultry that leads to significant economic losses in intensive production systems. Preventive biosecurity measures are essential control its spread, particularly broiler farms. This study aimed investigate the relationship between IB outbreaks and practices on a farm. Methods The farm, housing 96,000 broilers, experienced increased mortality (over 11%) during two consecutive cycles. Consequently, serological,...
Aim of this study was the retrospective investigation viral (porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2), porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), torque teno sus 1 (TTSuV1, TTSuV2)) bacterial (Bordetella bronchiseptica (B. b.), Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (M. h.), Pasteurella multocida (P. m.)) co-infections in 110 Pneumocystis spp. positive lung samples Austrian pigs with pneumonia. Fifty-one % were for PCV2, 7% PRRSV, 22% TTSuV1, 48% TTSuV2, 6% B. b., 29% M. h., 21% P. m. In 38.2%...
Abstract Until July 30 th , 2019 when the first case of African swine fever (ASF) was confirmed, Serbia a country free from ASF. After owner reported atypical illness and death sow, local veterinarian submitted organ samples to National Reference Laboratory for Classical Swine Fever (CSF) within Institute Veterinary Medicine in Belgrade. Observed gross lesions included splenomegaly, serous edema wall gallbladder hemorrhages enlarged portal lymph nodes, petechial on kidney epicardium,...
Considering the sporadic number of scientific studies on vermicomposting apple pomace waste, this research conducts a comparative analysis processes using Eisenia fetida, focusing both independently and in combination with wheat straw and/or manure (experiment 1: 60% 40% cattle manure; experiment 2: 3: 80% pomace, 10% straw, 4: 100% pomace). After 240-day substrate transformation period, all four variations vermicompost produced demonstrated favorable sensory properties, along high...
Today, connecting people, researchers, research topics, ideas and projects from different countries all around the Europe is more important than ever. One of greatest examples how can connect integrate new European Cooperation in Science Technology (COST), a funding agency for innovation networks. The main activity to help initiatives across enable scientists grow their by sharing them with peers. This an interdisciplinary network that brings researchers innovators together investigate topic...
Abstract Biosecurity measures, coupled with effective on-farm management, encompass all aspects aimed at preventing the entry of pathogens into pig farms and their subsequent spread within facility. This study assessed biosecurity practices on commercial in Serbia by surveying farm veterinarians/managers. To evaluate these farms, a Biocheck online survey ( https://biocheckgent.com ) was conducted across ten Northern Serbia, where highest concentration industrial production occurs. The...
Abstract The aim of this study was to identify the prevalence pathological lesions in pigs from small‐scale farms and determine associations between hematological parameters, carcass meat quality slaughtered pigs. conducted on 625 (~115 kg) originating 20 farms. Any signs pneumonia, pleurisy, pericarditis, liver milk spots were recorded as present or absent. Complete blood count investigated. following parameters measured: live, hot cold weights, cooling loss, dressing percentage, backfat...
Among the wild canids, red fox ( Vulpes vulpes ) is recognised as an important reservoir species for a range of parasites, including cardiopulmonary nematodes public health and veterinary importance. As cross-host transmission between domestic carnivores can play role in epizootiology parasitic diseases, aim present investigations was to obtain data on geographical distribution fox. The material examination consisted 83 foxes which were legally hunted at different locations during...
Bovine herpesvirus type 4 (BHV-4) is related to many different conditions: infertility, postpartal metritis, vulvovaginitis, mastitis, encephalitis, calf pneumonia, keratoconjunctivitis, cutaneous lesions, digital dermatitis and abortion. In this study a retrospective PCR examination of 100 extracted DNA samples from aborting cows was performed in order determine: prevalence BHV-4 abortive cattle, whether coinfections with other abortifacient pathogens are present the same sample determine...
Abstract Fowl adenovirus infections have a significant economic impact, especially in the production of broilers. It is considered leading cause three syndromes: adenoviral gizzard erosions and ulcerations, inclusion body hepatitis, hepatitis-hydropericardium syndrome. A critical feature this virus its immunosuppressive effect, via suppressing humoral cellular immunity. In study, we examined immune response after administration Newcastle disease vaccine broiler flocks with previously...
Wild animals, sharing pathogens with domestic play a crucial role in the epidemiology of infectious diseases. Sampling from wild animals poses significant challenges, yet it is vital for inclusion disease surveillance and monitoring programmes. Often, mass involves serological screenings using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) tests, typically validated only animals. This study assessed diagnostic specificity commercially available ELISA tests on 342 ruminant serum samples 100 boars....
The present study was conducted to reveal and identify the epidemiological features of fowl adenovirus species circulating in Belgrade city area. research included clinical examination, necropsy, pathohistology, enzymelinked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), PCR analysis. Clinically, general weakness, increased conversion, poor growth were observed. Postmortem examinations showed multiple necrotic foci liver, swollen pale kidneys. Pathohistological examination liver revealed hepatocellular...
Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) play a significant role in hepatic fibrogenesis. In the following study we described distribution of that express alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and desmin cat liver with various degrees fibrosis, as well significance portal myofibroblasts genesis fibrosis cats polycistic kidney disease. Liver samples from 15 necropsied Persian were examined microscopically, using H&E Masson-trichrom methods immunohistology for α-SMA desmin. was confirmed terminal stage...
The aim of this paper was to investigate the morphology, localization and typization abomasal ulcers in high-yielding dairy cows, as a contribution existing knowledge on subject. A total ten cows which died during period early puerperium two Holstein heifers late pregnancy after transport new location were investigated study. Samples altered tissue taken at necropsy for further histopathology mycology investigations. disclosed ulcerations abomasums twelve animals differed among them not only...
