Evidence of acute phase reaction in asymptomatic dogs naturally infected with Babesia canis
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2020)
Asymptomatic outdoor dogs can be carriers of Babesia canis, but data describing the development of an acute phase response (APR) are not available. We hypothesised that these dogs have a moderate APR that could be detected ...
Parathyroid hormone response in treatment of subclinical hypocalcemia inpostpartum dairy cows
(Elsevier, 2020)
The aim of this study was to evaluate different treatments of postpartum subclinical hypocalcemia in dairy cows with emphasis on PTH response. Twenty four cows with subclinical hypocalcemia (Ca 1.4–2.0 mmol/L), out of 180 ...
Effects of dietary selenium-yeast concentrations on growth performance and carcass composition of ducks
(CSIRO PUBLISHING, CLAYTON, 2017)
The aim of the present study was to assess effects of selenium (Se)-yeast diet supplementation on performance and carcass composition in ducks. The study was performed on 240 1-day old ducklings of the same origin (Cherry ...
Tresholds of blood variables obtained by receiver operating characteristic analysis for indication of fat and glycogen content in the liver of postpartum dairy cows
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2020)
The objective was to determine optimal thresholds of blood variables that are associated with liver lipid and glycogen content in dairy cows. Liver specimens of 15 Holstein dairy cows were taken 2 weeks postpartum (PP) and ...
Structural characteristics of circulating immune complexes in calves with bronchopneumonia: Impact on the quiescent leukocytes
(Elsevier, 2020)
Calf bronchopneumonia is accompanied by increased level of circulating immune complexes (CIC), and we analysed size, and protein and lipid constituents of these CIC with an attempt to elucidate the connection between the ...
The impact of the chromium supplementation on insulin signalling pathway in different tissues and milk yield in dairy cows
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2018)
Thirty days before expected time of parturition, 20 Holstein cows were divided into -Cr and +Cr groups. From day 25 before parturition (BP) up to day 30 after parturition (AP), +Cr cows received 10 mg of Cr (chromium-enriched ...
Detection of meat and bone meal in cattle feed and ruminal fluid - Comparison and combining of microscopy and polymerase chain reaction
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2014)
The ban of processed animal proteins (PAP) in feed for farmed animals led to a significant reduction of the number of BSE cases ever since bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) was proven to be a feedborne disease. Although ...
Evidence that calf bronchopneumonia may be accompanied by increased sialylation of circulating immune complexes IgG
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2012)
Immune complexes (IC) could have an important role in the pathogenesis of pre-ruminant calves bronchopneumonia. IC are potent activators of complement and neutrophils and they might be responsible for immune protection, ...
Trichinella spiralis muscle larvae release extracellular vesicles with immunomodulatory properties
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2019)
Aims Extracellular vesicles (EVs) represent a newly discovered but universal communication tool between cells or organisms. However, few data exist on nematode EVs and none for Trichinella spiralis. Here, we aimed to ...
Bovine foetal sex determinationDifferent DNA extraction and amplification approaches for efficient livestock production
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2018)
Contents Foetal sex determination using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in mammals is based on the amplification of gender-specific foetal DNA sequences circulating in maternal blood. The bovine synepitheliochorial placenta ...
