Plasma profile of cimicoxib in sheep after oral administration at two different rates

A. Di Salvo, M. Giorgi, H.K. Lee, C. Vercelli, more

Polish Journal of Veterinary Sciences > 2017 > 20 > 3

Sheep are often subjected to painful procedures and thus they need to be treated with analgesics. Nevertheless, knowledges about pharmacokinetic features of these drugs in this species are poor. The aim of this study was to evaluate plasma behaviour of cimicoxib in sheep after a single oral administration at two different dose rates (4 and 6 mg/kg). Maximum plasma concentrations of cimicoxib were...

Dietary integration with oregano (Origanum vulgare L.) essential oil improves growth rate and oxidative status in outdoor‐reared, but not indoor‐reared, pigs

C. Forte, D. Ranucci, D. Beghelli, R. Branciari, more

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition > 101 > 5 > e352 - e361

The effects of a diet supplemented with oregano essential oil on performance, oxidative status, pork quality traits and sensorial properties were evaluated. In two studies, 72 pigs in indoor or outdoor conditions were assigned to either a control diet or an identical diet supplemented with 0.2% oregano essential oil. Pigs reared outdoor showed lower live weight, average daily gain and average gain:feed...

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition > 101 > 4 > 676 - 684

One hundred and seventy one‐day‐old female broiler chicks were randomly divided into three groups fed with different dietary treatments: basal control diet (C); C supplemented (2 g/kg) with an oregano aqueous extract (O); C supplemented (150 mg/kg) with vitamin E (E). Growth performance was evaluated at 21 (T1) and 42 days (T2). On the same days, morphological, histochemical and microbiological analyses...

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition > 100 > 5 > 977 - 987

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of two different probiotic micro‐organisms on the performance, egg quality and blood parameters of organically reared hens. A total of 900 16‐week‐old Hy‐Line layer hybrids were randomly assigned to three groups of 300 birds each. The control (CTR) group was fed a corn–soya bean cake‐based diet; the L group was fed the same diet supplemented...

Climate change: Production performance, health issues, greenhouse gas emissions and mitigation strategies in sheep and goat farming

R. Marino, A.S. Atzori, M. D'Andrea, G. Iovane, more

Small Ruminant Research > 2016 > 135 > Complete > 50-59

Climate change is transforming the planet’s ecosystem and threatening the well-being of current and future generations. The livestock sector plays an important role in climate change contributing with a significant share to the anthropogenic greenhouses gases (GHG) emissions. In particular, small ruminant farming plays a crucial socio-economic role in many countries and there is strong interest in...

Aseasonal sheep and goat milk production in the Mediterranean area: Physiological and technical insights

M. Todaro, M. Dattena, A. Acciaioli, A. Bonanno, more

Small Ruminant Research > 2015 > 126 > Supplement 1 > 59-66

Aseasonal or out-of-season milk production for small ruminants raised in Mediterranean areas refers generally to milk having to be produced at a time that corresponds to summer which is when conditions are generally unfavourable with respect to both physiological aspects and nutritional factors related to seasonal climatic trends. In fact, sheep and goat milk production in the Mediterranean basin...

Feeding and management techniques to favour summer sheep milk and cheese production in the Mediterranean environment

M. Sitzia, A. Bonanno, M. Todaro, A. Cannas, more

Small Ruminant Research > 2015 > 126 > Supplement 1 > 43-58

Sheep milk production in summer can lead to a diversification of milk products and to a more regular product distribution in the market throughout the year. However, in Mediterranean countries small ruminant production cycles are subjected to seasonal variations in forage resources. During summer, a key period for out of season production systems, nutrition plays a fundamental role in regulating the...

Use of Rosmarinus officinalis in sheep diet formulations: Effects on ruminal fermentation, microbial numbers and in situ degradability

G. Cobellis, G. Acuti, C. Forte, L. Menghini, more

Small Ruminant Research > 2015 > 126 > Supplement 1 > 10-18

This study investigated the effects of rosemary dietary supplementation on the rumen degradability of alfalfa hay, the ruminal bacterial population and rumen metabolism in sheep. The experiment was designed as a 4×4 Latin square balanced for carry-over effects using four ruminally cannulated sheep fed a basal diet consisting of 1.5kg/day of alfalfa hay supplemented (400g/day) with one of four different...

Oregano, rosemary and vitamin E dietary supplementation in growing rabbits: Effect on growth performance, carcass traits, bone development and meat chemical composition

R. Cardinali, M. Cullere, A. Dal Bosco, C. Mugnai, more

Livestock Science > 2015 > 175 > Complete > 83-89

The study aimed to evaluate the effect of dietary supplementation with different natural additives (aqueous extracts) on the performance of growing rabbits, the nutritional composition and oxidative stability of their meat and on their hind leg bone traits. For this experiment, 200 New Zealand White rabbits weaned at 30 days of age were randomly allocated into five dietary groups (n=40 rabbits/group)...

Integration of extruded linseed into dairy sheep diets: Effects on milk composition and quality and sensorial properties of Pecorino cheese

L. Mughetti, F. Sinesio, G. Acuti, C. Antonini, more

Animal Feed Science and Technology > 2012 > 178 > 1-2 > 27-39

The objective of this work was to study the influence of including extruded linseed at different supplementation levels in dairy sheep feed on the chemical, organoleptic and nutritional quality of milk and Pecorino cheese. Three hundred and thirty multiparous Sarda ewes, three weeks before their expected date of parturition, were divided into three groups of 110 animals each. Ewes were fed one of...

G. Acuti, M. Trabalza-Marinucci, M. Cagiola, M. Pela, more

Small Ruminant Research > 2012 > 106 > Supplement > S21-S28

Several investigations have studied the influence of polyunsaturated fatty acids on the immune function of ruminants but many contradictory observations have been reported in this field. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of an extruded linseed dietary supplementation on the immune response and oxidative stress in the transition dairy ewe. The experiment was performed using 58 Sarda...

Pre- and post-feeding plasma gastrin-17 and insulin concentrations and feed intake in female goats during different physiological stages

L. Todini, M. Trabalza-Marinucci, A. Malfatti, O. Barbato, more

Small Ruminant Research > 2007 > 71 > 1-3 > 38-47

Gastrin (GAS) and insulin (INS) play a significant role in the regulation of feed intake, as well as in the homeorhetic adaptations to different physiological stages, nutrient supply and requirements. The aim of the study was to verify if plasma GAS and INS concentrations in adult does are affected by the physiological state, change in response to the meal and are correlated with feed intake and energy...

L. Todini, A. Malfatti, A. Valbonesi, M. Trabalza-Marinucci, more

Small Ruminant Research > 2007 > 68 > 3 > 285-290

The effects of different concentrate levels in the diet on plasma 3-3′-5-triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) concentrations in does of different physiological conditions were investigated. Blood samples were taken starting in autumn from 20 goats fed hay ad libitum, during the dry period (30 days and 3 days prior to the synchronized oestrus; D1 and D2, respectively), pregnancy (week 13, week...

Transport stress in horses: an electromyographic study on balance preservation

G. Giovagnoli, M. Trabalza Marinucci, A. Bolla, A. Borghese

Livestock Production Science > 2002 > 73 > 2-3 > 247-254

In order to validate the hypothesis that horse transport stress might also be the result of efforts spent in balance preservation, heart rate (HR) and muscular activity (MA) were analysed in eight Warmblood horses, with respect to individual rest reference values. Electromyographic (EMG) data were collected from Splenius muscles (left and right side), as representative of body anti-gravitational activities...
