In Japan, outbreaks of H5N8 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) were reported between November 2020 and March 2021 in 52 poultry farms. Understanding HPAI epidemiology would help poultry industries improve their awareness of the disease and enhance the immediate implementation of biosecurity measures. This study was a simulation-based matched case-control study to elucidate the risk factors associated

In vitro susceptibility of Brachyspira hyodysenteriae strains isolated in pigs in northern Italy between 2005 and 2022 Res. Vet. Sci. (IF 2.4) Pub Date : 2024-01-11 Giorgia De Lorenzi, Yuri Gherpelli, Andrea Luppi, Giovanni Pupillo, Patrizia Bassi, Michele Dottori, Alessandra Di Donato, Giuseppe Merialdi, Paolo Bonilauri
Pleuromutilins (tiamulin and valnemulin) are often used to treat swine dysentery due to recurrent resistance to macrolides and lincosamides. Recently, reduced susceptibility of B. hyodysenteriae to pleuromutilin has been reported. 536 strains of B. hyodysenteriae were isolated from symptomatic pigs weighing 30–150 kg in northern Italy between 2005 and 2022. B. hyodysenteriae was isolated by standard

Analysis of the culturable gut yeast microbiota of dogs with digestive disorders Res. Vet. Sci. (IF 2.4) Pub Date : 2024-01-11 Sergio Álvarez-Pérez, Fernando Rodríguez-Franco, Mercedes García-Sancho, Daniela Tercero-Guerrero, Ángel Sainz, Marta E. García, José L. Blanco
Despite the increasing interest in studying the gut mycobiota of dogs, the association between fungal colonization and the development of digestive disorders in this species remains largely understudied. On the other hand, the high prevalence of antifungal-resistant yeasts detected in previous studies in samples from animals represents a major threat to public health. We analyzed the presence of culturable

Determination of skull variation in Akkaraman and Kangal Akkaraman sheep by geometric morphometric method Res. Vet. Sci. (IF 2.4) Pub Date : 2024-01-12 Hacer Baş-Ekici, Kamil Beşoluk, Nisa Başpınar
Sheep breeding has an important place in the world and in Turkey, as sheep are farm animals that provide most of their nutritional needs from pasture, have good adaptability and are low in cost. Akkaraman sheep and the Kangal Akkaraman sheep, which was considered its sub-variety until 2012, constitute half of the sheep population in Turkey. In this study, morphometric diversity between the skulls of

Nutritive evaluation of dried cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata) waste meal as feed for grower-finisher pigs Res. Vet. Sci. (IF 2.4) Pub Date : 2024-01-11 Olaiya Olalekan David, Makinde Olayinka John, Egbo Louise Mary, Kalla Demo Joab Usman, Adelowo Victoria Olayinka, Alabi Olusola John, Akeem Babatunde Sikiru, Okunade Sunday Adewale, Opoola Emmanuel, Ajide Solomon Olusoji
This research investigated the nutritive value of dried cabbage waste meal (CWM) as feed for grower-finisher pigs. One hundred crossbred (Large white X Landrace; 86.10 ± 0.15 kg BW) clinically certified grower-finisher pigs of equal sexes were randomly allocated to five dietary treatments with five replicates per treatment in a completely randomized design. The control diet (T0 Diet) contained 1000 g kg−1DM

Association between blood hormones and fecundity in rabbit does Res. Vet. Sci. (IF 2.4) Pub Date : 2024-01-09 Alexander V. Sirotkin, Jan Rafay
The aim of the present study was to examine the association between blood hormone level and fecundity in rabbit does. The ovulation of nulliparous New Zealand White rabbits was induced by administration of PMSG and LH-RH analogue. Next day, the does were inseminated, blood was collected and the plasma levels of IGFI, leptin, progesterone and estradiol were measured by radioimmunoassay. After the birth

Review of exosomes and their potential for veterinary medicine Res. Vet. Sci. (IF 2.4) Pub Date : 2024-01-08 Mohammad Heidarpour, Mark Krockenberger, Peter Bennett
Small extracellular vesicles called exosomes are released by almost all cell types and play a crucial role in both healthy and pathological circumstances. Exosomes, found in biological fluids (including plasma, urine, milk, semen, saliva, abdominal fluid and cervical vaginal fluid) and ranging in size from 50 to 150 nm, are critical for intercellular communication. Analysis of exosomal cargos, including

Global prevalence of Plasmodium infection in wild birds: A systematic review and meta-analysis Res. Vet. Sci. (IF 2.4) Pub Date : 2024-01-02 Wei-Lan Yan, He-Ting Sun, Yi-Chen Zhao, Xin-Wen Hou, Miao Zhang, Quan Zhao, Hany M. Elsheikha, Hong-Bo Ni
Avian malaria is a vector-borne parasitic disease caused by Plasmodium infection transmitted to birds by mosquitoes. The aim of this systematic review was to analyze the global prevalence of malaria and risk factors associated with infection in wild birds. A systematic search of the databases CNKI, WanFang, VIP, PubMed, and ScienceDirect was performed from database inception to 24 February 2023. The

Effect of antifreeze protein I in the freezing solution on in vivo-derived sheep embryos Res. Vet. Sci. (IF 2.4) Pub Date : 2024-01-01 Lucas F.L. Correia, Gabriela R. Leal, Felipe Z. Brandão, Ribrio I.T.P. Batista, Joanna M.G. Souza-Fabjan
This study evaluated the effects of different antifreeze protein type I (AFP I) concentrations added to a slow freezing solution in sheep in vivo-derived embryos. Good-quality embryos were allocated into: AFP-free (CONT); 0.1 μg/mL of AFP I (AFP0.1); or 0.5 μg/mL of AFP I (AFP0.5). After thawing, embryos were in vitro cultured (IVC) for 48 h. At 24 h and 48 h of IVC, dead cells and apoptosis, mitochondrial

Characterization of platelet rich plasma in feline immunodeficiency virus-infected cats: Cell, and PDGF-BB and TGF-ß1 growth factor analysis Res. Vet. Sci. (IF 2.4) Pub Date : 2024-01-06 Laura Miguel-Pastor, Katy Satué, Deborah Chicharro, Elena Damiá, Belén Cuervo, Marta Torres-Torrillas, Emma Martins, María Gemma Velasco-Martínez, José M. Carrillo, Joaquín J. Sopena, José J. Cerón, Mónica Rubio
Autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) contains growth factors (GFs) that modulate the expression of inflammatory cells; thus, these products could be considered a good strategy to favor tissue regeneration in feline immunodeficiency (FIV) positive cats. However, there is no scientific documentation on obtaining PRP in FIV-positive cats. Authors hypothesized that PRP can be obtained in FIV cats following

Rationalising development of classification systems describing livestock production systems for disease burden analysis within the Global Burden of Animal Diseases programme Res. Vet. Sci. (IF 2.4) Pub Date : 2024-01-06 Yin Li, K. Marie McIntyre, Philip Rasmussen, William Gilbert, Gemma Chaters, Kassy Raymond, Wudu T. Jemberu, Andrew Larkins, Grace T. Patterson, Stephen Kwok, Alexander James Kappes, Dianne Mayberry, Peggy Schrobback, Mario Herrero Acosta, Deborah A. Stacey, Benjamin Huntington, Mieghan Bruce, Theodore Knight-Jones, Jonathan Rushton
The heterogeneity that exists across the global spectrum of livestock production means that livestock productivity, efficiency, health expenditure and health outcomes vary across production systems. To ensure that burden of disease estimates are specific to the represented livestock population and people reliant upon them, livestock populations need to be systematically classified into different types
