This study was conducted to determine whether the approved doses of oxytetracycline (OTC) for breeder hens and meat-type poultry would produce drug residue transfer into egg components when fed to laying hens. Twenty hens were assigned to equal groups (n = 10) and fed either 50 or 200 g/ton OTC for 5 d. Oxytetracycline concentrations in egg components were determined daily during a 2-d pretreat...

Heavy metals represent the fourth most often notified hazard category in the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF) from 1980-2016. The goal of the study was to examine the similarities in notifications of particular heavy metals within the RASFF year, product category, notifying country, country of origin, notification basis, notification type, distribution status, risk decision, and act...

Induced molting of laying hens is a practice used by commercial egg producers to increase the productive lifetime of their flock. However, the conventional method of inducing molt, which involves removal of feed, water, or both as well as a reduction in photoperiod to less than a natural day has drawn criticism due to animal welfare and food safety concerns. The objective of this study was to e...

Diaveridine (DVD) is used in combination with sulphachloropyrazine (SPZ) as an effective antibacterial agent and antiprotozoal agent, respectively, in humans and animals. To gain a better understanding of the metabolism of SPZ and DVD in the food-producing animals, a high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method to determine and quantify sulphachloropyrazine (SPZ) and diaveridine (DVD) s...

Fasting pigs before slaughter has many advantages such as feed saving (2-3 kganimal), and increased food safety by reducing the risk of viscera rupture and pathogen contamination of carcasses during the evisceration process (Miller et al., 1997). Other potential advantages are an improvement in meat quality (Tarrant, 1989). Indeed, some studies have shown that fasting before slaughter improves ...

Abstract Background: Tramadol is a centrally acting opioid analgesic used to treat moderate to sever pain. It has more advantage and less opioid adverse effects than conventional opioid analgesia. Case Report: This article reports a patient with tramadol dependency that had psychosis after tramadol withdrawal. Conclusion: By the increase of tramadol usage for relief of chronic pain, t...

objective(s): drug addiction is one of the fastest growing social problems that researchers, for many years, have been trying to find proper strategies for its prevention and treatment. short-term physical activity is considered as acceptable for the treatment and prevention of addiction. on the other hand, prefrontal cortex is known to be responsible for many of the complex behavioral response...

The present study focused on the effects of 1-amino-3,5-dimethyladamantane (memantine), a clinically used, low-affinity N-methyl-D-aspartate channel blocker, on the motivational impact of morphine and morphine withdrawal syndrome. Memantine (7.5 mg/kg) inhibited the acquisition as well as the expression of morphine-induced conditioned place preference. However, memantine did not affect signific...
