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 ...
Low serum levels of promatrix metalloproteinase-2 and -9 occur during acute Babesia canis infection in dogs
(Elsevier, 2021)
Inflammation is a hallmark of the acute Babesia canis infection. Promatrix metalloproteinase (proMMP)-2 and -9 are involved in inflammation, but their levels have not been analyzed in canine babesiosis. We hypothesized ...
Acute-phase response in Babesia canis and Dirofilaria immitis co-infections in dogs
(Elsevier Gmbh, Urban & Fischer Verlag, Jena, 2017)
Babesia canis and Dirofilaria immitis are emerging and geographically overlapping vector-borne pathogens in dogs. Infection with B. canis leads to acute-phase response (APR) that can be mild to severe and results in either ...
The effects of lairage time and handling procedure prior to slaughter on stress and meat quality parameters in pigs
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2014)
Lairage time (short - 8 min to 2.7 h, n = 28 vs. long - 14 to 21.5 h, n = 72) and pig handling (gentle - no use of stick or electric prod, pig not slipping, falling, nor emitting high-pitched vocalizations vs. rough - where ...
Causes of admission, length of stay and outcomes for common kestrels in rehabilitation centres in the Czech Republic
(Nature Research, 2021)
Rehabilitation centres help injured animals to recover and return back to the wild. This study aimed to analyse trends in intake and outcomes for the common kestrels (Falco tinnunculus) admitted into rehabilitation centres ...
