Studies on the effect of Lactococcus garvieae of dairy origin on both cheese and Nile tilapia (O. niloticus)
Publication date: Available online 17 November 2018Source: International Journal of Veterinary Science and MedicineAuthor(s): Eman N. Abdelfatah, Heba Hassan H. MahboubAbstractThe aims of this study were to evaluate the activity of Lactococcus garvieae of dairy origin against pathogenic bacteria during cheese manufacture and its suitability and safety as a probiotic on Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). For these purposes, Lactococcus garvieae isolated from raw cow milk was tested to control the growth of Staphylococcus aureus in artificially contaminated cheese during storage under refrigeration. Also a feeding experim...

Regional skin histomorphology in adult greater cane rats (Thryonomys swinderianus): A pilot study
Publication date: Available online 16 November 2018Source: International Journal of Veterinary Science and MedicineAuthor(s): M.O. Akpan, O.M. Samuel, B.O. EmikpeAbstractThe greater cane rat (Thryonomys swinderianus) demonstrated numerous dermal architectural peculiarities hitherto unreported. This investigation assessed and evaluated certain histologic features of skin samples from the fore and hind limbs, the neck, head, proximal to the ear and oro-nasal regions for follicular evaluations and micro anatomic assessments in the adult species. Twenty wild taken animals of equal gender distribution were used for histologic a...

Effect of the number of incisions and use of local anesthesia on the physiological indicators of surgically-castrated piglets
The objective of this study was to determine the effect of local anesthesia and the number of incisions performed on the physiological blood profile of piglets after surgical castration. A total of 60 male piglets were divided into five groups of 12 each, based on the surgical method employed and the use, or not, of local anesthesia, as follows: surgical castration using one horizontal incision in both testicles with (C1+L) and without (C1) local anesthesia; surgical castration using two vertical scrotal incisions with and without local anesthesia (C2+L and C2); and control piglets which were removed from their pens and he...

Genotyping of Streptococcus uberis isolates in healing process of bovine clinical mastitis
Publication date: Available online 16 October 2018Source: International Journal of Veterinary Science and MedicineAuthor(s): Christina Werner, Claudia Sauerwald, Albert Sundrum, Amr El-Sayed, Michael ZschöckAbstractIn the present work, macrorestriction analysis was applied to characterize 44 S. uberis field strains isolated from lactating cows suffering from mastitis in three dairy herds in Hesse State, Germany. Analysis of the obtained data by Pulse-Field Gel Electrophoresis (PFGE) showed that most of the isolates originating from different herds and cows were not related to each other. However, identical macrorestrictio...

Experimental ochratoxicosis A in Nile tilapia and its amelioration by some feed additives
This study investigated the toxic effects of OTA on Nile tilapia with trials to neutralize these effects by using some feed additives. Supplements used as one percent (Garlen Extra4, Nigella sativa, Garlen Extra4 plus Nigella sativa and a commercial mycotoxins binder, Fero Bind Pro) were added to 500 ppb/kg OTA-contaminated diet. Fish were fed at 3% body weight per day for 10 weeks. The clinical signs recorded in OTA – intoxicated positive control group were sluggish swimming and off food before death with reduction in survivability (53%) and growth performance. Several post-mortem lesions were in liver, kidneys and ...

Retinoic acid improves maturation rate and upregulates the expression of antioxidant-related genes in in vitro matured buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) oocytes
In conclusion, supplementation of 9-cisRA with a lower concentration (5 nM) to the buffalo oocytes maturation media promotes maturation rate through a protection mechanism that maintains adequate levels of antioxidant-related transcripts and improves mitochondrial activity. However, 9-cisRA has no significant effect on the cleavage rate of the treated oocytes. (Source: International Journal of Veterinary Science and Medicine)
