Comparison Of Nutrient Contents, Digestibility And Fecal Output Of Concentrate Rations (Gel) For Dog, Uttra Jamikorn
The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine
The purposes of this current study were to compare the amount of nutrient contents and digestibility between different concentrate ration brands and their effects on fecal output. These concentrate rations mean the diets formulated in order to improve the nutritive status of the animals. In this study, nine mature female mongrel dogs were randomly subjected into three groups of the triplicated 3x3 Latin square design. Three brands of concentrate ration in form of gel were used as dietary treatments. Nutrient contents (on DM basis), body weight, fecal output, and apparent digestibility of nutrients were determined. Percentages of dry matter, organic …

Avibacterium paragallinarum is the causative agent of infectious coryza, an acute upper respiratory disease in chickens. The aim of this study was to characterize the antimicrobial susceptibility, resistance genes and the in vivo testing of antimicrobial susceptibility in chickens. Eighteen A. paragallinarum isolated in Thailand were tested for antimicrobial susceptibility by broth microdilution method. A high prevalence of resistance MIC pattern to oxytetracycline, doxycycline, streptomycin, ciprofloxacin, erythromycin and sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim was found. Thirteen isolates showed multiple antimicrobial drug resistance (66.7%). Resistance genes of tet(A), tet(B), tet(M), erm(A), erm(B), blaROB-1 and sul2 were found and the resistance genes of tet(A), tet(B) and …

The efficacy and safety of different live Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) vaccines were determined. One hundred and fifty six-week-old female layer chickens were equally divided into 6 groups. Groups 1-6 received F (two groups), 6/85 and ts-11 strains, positive and negative control, respectively. At 8 weeks old, 5 birds/group were sacrificed and gross thoracic airsac lesion scores (GTALS) and microscopic tracheal lesion scores (MTLS) were blindly evaluated. At 12 weeks old, groups 1-5 were challenged through an eye dropping with approximately 1x106 CFU of MG Thai isolated. At 13 and 14 weeks old, 10 birds/group were swabbed in the palatine fissure …

Pathogenicity and transmission of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza subtype H5N1 viruses (HPAI-H5N1) depend on the strains and infection doses of the viruses. In this study, experimental infection was performed to determine pathogenicity and transmission of the Thai HPAI-H5N1 in Japanese quails. One hundred and seven quails were divided into 4 groups, experimental groups 1-3 (n = 32 per group) and negative control group (n = 11). At the age of 9 weeks, 16 quails each from groups 1-3 were inoculated with 107, 105 and 103 EID50 of Thai HPAI-H5N1, A/chicken/Thailand/CUK2/04(CU-K2) virus. Twenty-four hours later, 16 quails were added as contact …

Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) causes multisystemic diseases called porcine circovirus associated disease (PCVAD) in pigs leading to a significant economic loss in the swine industry. The objective of this study was to determine the efficacy of a developed sub-unit PCV2b vaccine using a recombinant truncated capsid protein expressed in Escherichia coli in PCVAD-affected pig farms. Five-week-old conventional pigs were allocated into 2 groups: vaccinated (n = 55) and control (n = 55) groups placed in the same building. The vaccinated pigs were given two shots of a developed vaccine with 2-week interval on day 0 and 14. Serum samples …

Clastogenic and anticlastogenic effects of neem flower (Azadirachta indica A. Juss) extract were determined using a rat liver micronucleus assay. Methanol extracts of neem flowers (MENF) in 15% Tween 80 at 100 and 500 mg/kg body weight were orally given to male Sprague Dawley rats daily for 6 weeks (2 weeks prior to and 4 weeks during repeated administration of diethylnitrosamine (DEN). All rats were anesthetized and their livers were collected. Hepatocytes were isolated from the livers using a collagenase solution without performing liver perfusion, then stained with 4’, 6-diamidino-2-phenylindole dihydrochloride (DAPI). Incidence of the micronucleated hepatocytes was evaluated by …

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non coding RNA that regulate gene expression as post transcriptional regulators in mammalian tissues. One of the miRNAs that participates in mammalian immune response is miR-29a. Despite the limited information of miR-29a in porcine cells, it is interesting to determine whether miR-29a involves in immune regulation in pig. In this study, we developed a quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction using SYBR detection system to examine the expression of primary miR-29a (pri-miR-29a) in porcine peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in the presence of mitogen. PBMCs were stimulated with concanavalin A (Con A) at a concentration of …

Virusnip™ is one of the commercial potassium peroxymonosulfate disinfectants widely used in swine farms. This disinfectant is well studied and proves to be excellent in antimicrobial activity previously. However, there is no information about its efficacy under field condition. Thus, the objective of this study was to determine the virucidal activity of Virusnip® against PCV2 in farm condition. Consequently, 1:200 concentration of VirusnipTM was sprayed for 15 minutes once or twice daily depending on the acclimatization period in gilts isolation units compared to the untreated group in the same building. Environmental swabs and oral fluid samples were collected and pooled …

Wenyonella philiplevinei is one of the important pathogens of duck coccidiasis. In the present study, a portion of the 18S rDNA was amplified from W. philiplevinei by Polymerase chain reaction (PCR), cloned and then sequenced. The sequences of 18S rDNA of all samples were 422 bp in size. A + T content of the 18S rDNA sequences was 58-59%. Sequence comparison revealed that the similarity in 18S rDNA sequences between Hunan isolates and W. philiplevinei available (Guangdong isolate) was more than 98%. Intra-specific sequence variations within each of the Hunan isolates were 0-1.7%. However, the inter-specific sequence differences between W. …

Picobirnavirus (PBV) associated gastrointestinal infections have been noticed in humans as well as in a number of animal species, however, to the best of our information, report about the detection and characterisation of PBV in buffaloes is not presented. In this study, RNA polymerase (RdRp) gene targeted RT-PCR assay was used to recognize PBVs and additionally the isolate was analysed for evolutionary and sequence homology. The buffalo PBV isolate was of genogroup I (GG I) nature and a comparative sequence analysis revealed homology of 44.5% and 45.1% at nucleotide and amino acid levels, respectively, with the prototype human PBV strain …

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of supplementary betaine in diet on milk secretion, milk composition, mammary extraction of nutrients and relevant parameters in late lactating cross-bred Saanen goats. Ten, multiparous, non-pregnant cross-bred Saanen goats of approximately 10 weeks postpartum were used for the study. The animals were divided into two groups of five animals each. Animals in the experimental group received diet containing 4 g betaine per kg of concentrate diet for four weeks, while the control group received similar concentrate diet without betaine as concurrent control. Results showed that milk yields of betaine supplemented …

Physiological indicators of social and nutritional stress can provide insight into the responses of species to changes in food availability. In coastal British Columbia, Canada, grizzly bears evolved with spawning salmon as an abundant but spatially and temporally constrained food source. Recent and dramatic declines in salmon might have negative consequences on bear health and ultimately fitness. To examine broadly the chronic endocrine effects of a salmon niche, we compared cortisol, progesterone, and testosterone levels in hair from salmon-eating bears from coastal BC (n = 75) with the levels in a reference population from interior BC lacking access to salmon …

Cetaceans rival primates in brain size relative to body size and include species with the largest brains and biggest bodies to have ever evolved. Cetaceans are remarkably diverse, varying in both phenotypes by several orders of magnitude, with notable differences between the two extant suborders, Mysticeti and Odontoceti.We analyzed the evolutionary history of brain and body mass, and relative brain size measured by the encephalization quotient (EQ), using a data set of extinct and extant taxa to capture temporal variation in the mode and direction of evolution. Our results suggest that cetacean brain and body mass evolved under strong directional …
