The effect of epigallocatechin gallate on laying performance, egg quality, immune status, antioxidant capacity, and hepatic metabolome of laying ducks reared in high temperature condition
In conclusion, 300 mg/kg dietary EGCG showed protection effects on the laying ducks reared in high temperature by improving the immune and antioxidant capacities, which contributed to the increase of laying performance of ducks. The potential mechanism could be that EGCG modulate the synthesis of key metabolites and associated metabolic pathways.PMID:37921498 | DOI:10.1080/01652176.2023.2280041 (Source: Veterinary Quarterly)

Tularemia - a re-emerging disease with growing concern
Vet Q. 2023 Nov 2:1-29. doi: 10.1080/01652176.2023.2277753. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTularemia caused by Gram-negative, coccobacillus bacterium, Francisella tularensis, is a highly infectious zoonotic disease. Human cases have been reported mainly from the United States, Nordic countries like Sweden and Finland, and some European and Asian countries. Naturally, the disease occurs in several vertebrates, particularly lagomorphs. Type A (subspecies tularensis) is more virulent and causes disease mainly in North America; type B (subspecies holarctica) is widespread, while subspecies mediasiatica is present in central Asi...

Faecal metabolome responses to an altered dietary protein:carbohydrate ratio in adult dogs
Vet Q. 2023 Dec;43(1):1-10. doi: 10.1080/01652176.2023.2273891. Epub 2023 Oct 28.ABSTRACTHigh-protein diets may aid weight loss and weight maintenance programs in both humans and dogs, although the effect of dietary protein levels on gut metabolism and functionality has not been studied in depth. The current study aimed to investigate the effect of an altered dietary protein:carbohydrate ratio on gut function in adult dogs by means of faecal metabolomic fingerprinting. More specifically, functional metabolic differences in dogs fed a high-protein/low-carbohydrate (HPLC) vs. low-protein/high-carbohydrate (LPHC) diet were st...

Influence of age, habitat elevation, and distance to a thermal power plant on pathomorphological findings in the European brown hare ( < em > Lepuseuropaeus < /em > P.)
Vet Q. 2023 Dec;43(1):1-10. doi: 10.1080/01652176.2023.2273887. Epub 2023 Nov 1.ABSTRACTThe lifespan of the European hare (Lepus europaeus P.) is affected by a number of negative factors, including pollutants. In this paper, the individual and joint influence of age and habitat (elevation and distance from the thermal power plant - TPP) on pathomorphological findings of hares shot during three hunting seasons was investigated. Pathomorphological changes were found in 95.12% of hares. In hares up to 1 year of age, the changes were predominant in the lungs, and in older hares, in the kidneys. Degenerative changes in kidneys ...
