A highly discriminatory and standardized biochemical fingerprinting method was used to monitor the persistence and colonization of intestinal Escherichia coli isolated from the feces of four sows and their litters (four piglets from each) during the suckling, postweaning, and fattening periods. Altogether, 195 fecal samples were collected and 1,827 E. coli strains were tested (mean number of is...

      Flavonoids could serve as potent inhibitors of xanthine oxidase (XO). In the present study, the effects of Ruta graveolens L. extract and its major isolated flavonoids, quercetin and rutin, on guinea pig liver XO have been investigated. The inhibitory effects of R. graveolens, quercetin and its glycoside form, rutin, were assayed spectrophotometrically. R. graveolens...

Chromosomal patterns of experimental animals are useful tools for cytogenetics research and animal breeding. Chromosome investigations of the hairless guinea pig are rare, therefore, karyotype of hairless guinea pigs (twelve male and female) was studied using metaphase spreads of bone marrows and G banding techniques. The chromosomes diploid number was 2n= 64 and polymorphism of three type chro...

The use of antibiotics in the livestock and poultry industries has raised significant concern about environmental health problems. In light this, accurate knowledge antibiotic residues manure is important for pollution management strategic decision-making at national level. This study aims to provide a comprehensive report on China using published data 3751 feces 29 provincial-level units over ...

The article provides data on the spread of endoparasitoses in vietnamese bellied pigs pasture growing system farms Odesa region. Pigs can have numerous intestinal parasites, most often protozoa and nematodes. Although course such parasitic infections is usually subclinical, clinical manifestations may occasionally occur, especially pigs. study structure functioning systems extremely important. ...

Rotavirus gastroenteritis is one of the main causes of acute diarrhea in young humans and animals worldwide. The colostrum-deprived, artificially-reared, neonatal pig has been extensively used in our laboratory as a model animal for studying an experimentally-induced rotaviral gastroenteritis. Details on procurement of newborn pigs, immunological characteristics and artificial rearing condition...

Use of wheat (Triticum aestivum) flour milling coproducts (WFM) in pig diets may ameliorate high feed cost. However, digestibility of WFM is lower than feed grains, and limited information exists about their fermentation characteristics. In vitro degradation and fermentation characteristics of 6 WFM samples (2 Shorts, 2 Millrun, middlings, and bran) with varying fiber and protein contents were ...

The number of bites from Trypanosoma cruzi infected Triatoma infestans received by a mammal is one of the main determinants of its risk of becoming infected by this parasite. Although T. cruzi is not introduced by the bite itself, it is mostly during the bite that T. cruzi contaminated feces are deposited on the skin (C Chagas 1909 Mem Inst Oswaldo Cruz 1: 159-218, E Brumpt 1912 Bull Soc Path E...
