A semi-nested PCR method with increased sensitivity for the specific, direct detection of Salmonella enterica strains in poultry ectoparasites
Acta Vet Hung. 2023 Dec 13. doi: 10.1556/004.2023.01011. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe darkling beetle, Alphitobius diaperinus, and the poultry red mite, Dermanysuss gallinae are among the most common pests of poultry farms. Both pests can be carriers and reservoirs of various pathogens including zoonotic ones like Salmonella. Salmonellosis is one of the most common foodborne diseases reported in the EU. We developed a semi-nested PCR method for the direct detection of Salmonella enterica. When testing the specificity of the novel PCR, we successfully detected various S. enterica strains, whereas Escherichia coli and C...

Relationships between haptoglobin and inter-alpha trypsin inhibitor heavy chain 4 levels in  local and peripheral blood and systemic inflammatory response syndrome in bitches with pyometra
Acta Vet Hung. 2023 Dec 13. doi: 10.1556/004.2023.00852. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe aimed to assess the usefulness of monitoring inter-alpha trypsin inhibitor heavy chain 4 (ITIH4) and haptoglobin (Hp) in peripheral and local blood in canine pyometra, and evaluation the relationships among acute phase proteins (APPs), systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and the presence of bacteria. The material was collected from bitches with pyometra and from healthy ones. Blood was taken from the cephalic and uterine veins. APPs levels were quantified by ELISA. In the peripheral circulation, the Hp was higher in animals...

Assessment of serum calprotectin as a marker of  inflammation in cattle with traumatic reticuloperitonitis
Acta Vet Hung. 2023 Dec 11. doi: 10.1556/004.2023.00878. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCalprotectin (CP) is an inflammatory marker. The aim of the current study was to investigate oxidative stress and changes in CP in cattle with traumatic reticuloperitonitis (TRP). The study was divided into two groups, experimental (TRP) and healthy control group, with 10 animals in each group. Total leucocyte count, neutrophil and lymphocyte counts were higher in the TRP group compared to the control group and this increase was statistically significant (P < 0.001). The level of malondialdehyde (MDA) in TRP group was statistically si...

Effect of postpartum drenching on plasma parameters of cows at a large-scale dairy farm
Acta Vet Hung. 2023 Nov 24. doi: 10.1556/004.2023.00921. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe aim of the present study was to explore the influence of postpartum drenching with a feed additive on the plasma concentration of biochemical parameters while factoring in prepartum rumination times (RT). One hundred and sixty-one cows were fitted with a Ruminact© HR-Tag approximately 5 days before calving. Drenching and control groups were established based on calving dates. Animals in the drenched group were treated three times (Day 1/day of calving/, Day 2, and Day 3 postpartum) using a feed additive containing calcium propionate...

The impact of retrieval method and breed on the motility and kinematic parameters of fresh and post-thaw ram epididymal spermatozoa
In conclusion, both collection methods were found suitable for REPS retrieval. The REPS from Racka exhibited better linear movement values than those from the Merino breed. The cryotolerance of REPS of both breeds was comparable.PMID:37999739 | DOI:10.1556/004.2023.00945 (Source: Acta Veterinaria Hungarica)

Acta Vet Hung. 2023 Nov 24. doi: 10.1556/004.2023.00919. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe present paper reports on the clinical efficacy and optimal clinical dose of medetomidine for sedation of young cows during dehorning surgery. Medical records of 24 female Holstein cows that underwent dehorning surgery were used in this study. In four groups, the sedation of animals was carried out by one of the four intravenous treatments: 0.1 mg kg-1 xylazine (Xyl group, n = 6), 5.0 μg kg-1 medetomidine (5.0 Med group, n = 6), 10.0 μg kg-1 medetomidine (10.0 Med group, n = 6) or 20.0 μg kg-1 medetomidine (20.0 Med group, n = 6). ...
