Mostrar más [+] Menos [-]Effect of the addition of different forms of rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) on the quality of vacuum-packed minced pork
2024
Śmiecińska Katarzyna | Daszkiewicz Tomasz | Krajewska Agnieszka | Kubiak Dorota
Apart from their antioxidant activity, plant-derived bioactive compounds can also positively affect the quality of meat and meat products by improving their sensory and microbiological properties and preventing discolouration. The aim of this study was to determine how the addition of different forms of rosemary improved the quality of pork.

Fasciola hepatica, also known as the common liver fluke, is a globally distributed trematode parasite responsible for high economic losses in ruminants. Infection with F. hepatica occurs in Polish cattle and sheep; however, very little is known about its occurrence in goats. Therefore, a serological and coproscopic survey was carried out in Polish goats to determine the herd-level prevalence of F. hepatica infection in the goat population of Poland.
Mostrar más [+] Menos [-]Molecular analysis of Anaplasma ovis, Theileria ovis and Brucella abortus in adult Ornithodoros lahorensis soft ticks (Acari: Ixodida: Argasidae) isolated from the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, China
2024
Liu Dandan | Wang Jinming | Liu Yutong | Wang Shuiyi | Zhu Huiru | Jiang Bingbing | Li Yongchang | Zhang Yang | Chahan Bayin | Zhang Wei
Ticks are obligate blood-feeding arthropods that cause significant economic losses in domestic animal husbandry and threaten public health. However, information about soft ticks (Acari: Argasidae) and tick-borne pathogens in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (XUAR) of China is scarce.
Mostrar más [+] Menos [-]Morphological and molecular characterisation of the nematode parasite Graphidioides affinis (Secernentea: Trichostrongylidae) in Patagonian maras, Dolichotis patagonum, kept in a zoo in Sofia, Bulgaria
2024
Panayotova-Pencheva Mariana | Laskowski Zdzisław | Pyziel Anna Maria
Patagonian maras, rodents endemic to South America, are classified as a near-threatened species. Various factors affect their health including parasitic diseases. The aim of this study was to perform morphometric, molecular and phylogenetic characterisation of one such parasitic disease agent, the nematode Graphidioides affinis, specimens of which were found in captive Patagonian maras.

This study aimed to determine the bacterial diversity of chicken carcasses and their surrounding environment at various stages along a poultry slaughter line.
Mostrar más [+] Menos [-]Phytotherapeutic potential of Artemisia ludoviciana and Cordia boissieri extracts against the dermatophyte Microsporum canis
2024
Villarreal Villarreal José Pablo | Medina Soto Beatriz A. | Heya Michel Stéphane | Galindo-Rodríguez Sergio A. | Velázquez Uziel Castillo | Cárdenas Noriega Kevin A. | García-Ponce Romario
Microsporum canis is a dermatophyte that mainly affects dogs and cats. However, it can be transmitted to humans by direct contact. This makes it one of the most frequent causative agents of dermatophytosis in humans, reflecting the frequent human close relationships with pets. Conventional treatment relies on antifungal pharmacological agents. However, errors in application have led to the occurrence of fungal resistance and toxic effects. Consequently, new therapeutic alternatives are needed for M. canis infections. Plant extracts have been explored as phytotherapeutics for the treatment of dermatophyte infections, which prompted an attempt to apply extracts of the ethnopharmacologically important plants Artemisia ludoviciana and Cordia boissieri.
Mostrar más [+] Menos [-]Effect of β-hydroxybutyrate acid on gene expression levels of antioxidant biomarkers and growth hormone–related genes in liver cell culture
2024
Mohsin Muhammad Ali | Zhou Xiaojing | Huiru Yu | Shen Wenxiang | He Baoxiang | Sobiech Przemysław | Pierzchała Mariusz | Ogłuszka Magdalena | Starzyński Rafał | Kalra Garima | Deshmukh Bharti | Thangarasu Revathy | Kashyap Neeraj | Czarnik Urszula | Lepczyński Adam | Woźniakowski Grzegorz | Pareek Chandra S.
In dairy cattle, oxidative stress is a predominant problem associated with diseases and reproductive health issues. This study aimed to detect the variation in the antioxidant biomarkers by adding different concentrations of β-hydroxybutyric acid (BHBA) and sought to elucidate its effects on the gene expression levels of growth hormone (GH) and antioxidant biomarkers in bovine hepatocytes.
Mostrar más [+] Menos [-]Diet supplementation with Saccharomyces cerevisiae influences the electrophoretic parameters in blood in young Charolaise bulls
2024
Arfuso Francesca | Giannetto Claudia | Pennisi Melissa | Giudice Elisabetta | Piccione Giuseppe | Gianesella Matteo | Zumbo Alessandro
The objective of the research was to investigate the effect of Saccharomyces cerevisiae supplementation on some acute-phase proteins, haptoglobin and all electrophoretic parameters in young Charolaise bulls.
Mostrar más [+] Menos [-]An evaluation of dogs’ exposure to benzophenones through hair sample analysis
2024
Gonkowski Sławomir | Martín Julia | Rychlik Andrzej | Aparicio Irene | Santos Juan Luis | Alonso Esteban | Makowska Krystyna
Benzophenones (BPs) are used in various branches of industry as ultraviolet radiation filters, but they pollute the natural environment, penetrate living organisms, and disrupt endocrine balance. Knowledge of the exposure of domestic animals to these substances is extremely scant. The aim of the study was to investigate long-term exposure of companion dogs to BPs and relate this to environmental factors.
