The search and development of natural biological additives that have a comprehensive effect as immunostimulants improve digestion in poultry is relevant. This study was carried out at the Selection Genetics Center “Zagorskoe EPH”. control experimental groups were formed 1-day-old Ross-308 cross broilers (35 heads each). Six formed. group No.1 (control) received basic feed (BF) with addition ant...

Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are emerging contaminants posing a potential worldwide human health risk. Intensive animal husbandry is believed to be a major contributor to the increased environmental burden of ARGs. Despite the volume of antibiotics used in China, little information is available regarding the corresponding ARGs associated with animal farms. We assessed type and concentrati...

Several nitrogen-containing dietary supplements were fed to chicks to study their effects on growth and tissue nitrogen products. An antibiotic mixture was added to the diet to determine its effect on the metabolism of nitrogenous compounds. In the first experiment, 2.0% protein equivalent was added as diammonium citrate (DAC) or isolated soy protein (ISP) to a balanced practical diet. DAC lowe...

Disease are recognized as one of the major constraint to sustainable animal production which can cause significant economic loss especially in aquaculture. Various chemotherapeutic agents have been traditionally used in the treatment and prevention of diseases in farmed fish but they are not recommended since improper and continuous use of antibiotics may lead to potential development of antibi...

Many industrial fermentations use complex medium containing both carbohydrate and oils as their carbon sources. Oil supplements have been shown to increase the antibiotic titre and are a cheaper alternative carbon source, in terms of carbon per unit volume, when compared to carbohydrates. Oil supplements are also preferred on an energy supply basis and have natural antifoam properties. The majo...

PURPOSE This study investigated the clinical presentations of symptomatic Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) in children. METHODS We reviewed the medical records of 43 children aged <20 years who showed either positive C. difficile culture or C. difficile toxin test results between June 2010 and April 2014. RESULTS Of the 43 patients (mean age 6.7 years), 22 were boys. Sixteen patients (...
