Immunomodulatory effects of dietary protein during Nippostrongylus brasiliensis re-infection in lactating rats
(2009)
Periparturient relaxation of immunity (PPRI) to secondary infection with nematodes is believed to have a nutritional basis due to differential partitioning of scarce nutrient resources, particularly protein, to reproductive ...
Effect of dietary non-starch polysaccharide solubility and inclusion level on gut health and the risk of post weaning enteric disorders in newly weaned piglets
(2007)
The objective of this experiment was to investigate the effect of non-starch polysaccharide (NSP) solubility and inclusion rate on gut health and development, performance and risk of post weaning enteric disorders (PWED) ...
The effect of chicory (Cichorium intybus) and sulla (Hedysarum coronarium) on larval development and mucosal cell responses of growing lambs challenged with Teladorsagia circumcincta
(2006)
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of grazing different bioactive forages on acquired immunity against Teladorsagia circumcinta infection. The development of immunity was assessed by following the response ...
Trace mineral content of conventional, organic and courtyard eggs analysed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS)
(2009)
We investigated the contents in yolk and albumen of the trace minerals Se, Zn, Mn, Co, Cu, Mo, V, Cr, Ni, TI. As and Cd in eggs from hens from three husbandry systems by ICP-MS. Conventional hens were given a commercial ...
In silico exploration of the effects of host genotype and nutrition on the genetic parameters of lambs challenged with gastrointestinal parasites
(2007)
An in silico mathematical model was used to explore the effect of, and the interaction between, (i) nutrition, (ii) genotype for growth and (iii) genotype for resistance, on the estimates of genetic parameters for resistance ...
A model to account for the consequences of host nutrition on the outcome of gastrointestinal parasitism in sheep: model evaluation
(2007)
This paper describes sensitivity analyses and expectations obtained from a mathematical model developed to account for the effects of host nutrition on the consequences of gastrointestinal parasitism in sheep. The scenarios ...
The effects of changes in nutritional demand on gastrointestinal parasitism in lactating rats
(2007)
Lactating rats experience a breakdown of immunity to parasites, i.e. they carry larger worm burdens after re-infection compared to their non-lactating counterparts. Feeding high-protein foods to lactating rats results in ...
Variation in Trace Element Contents Among Chicken, Turkey, Duck, Goose, and Pigeon Eggs Analyzed by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS)
(2009)
Despite substantial interest in the trace element content of eggs by poultry breeders, nutritionists, and environmental scientists, available data about trace elements levels in eggs are scarce. Trace element contents in ...
Unravelling the relationship between animal growth and immune response during micro-parasitic infections
(2009)
Background: Both host genetic potentials for growth and disease resistance, as well as nutrition are known to affect responses of individuals challenged with micro-parasites, but their interactive effects are difficult to ...
Medicinal plants for helminth parasite control: facts and fiction
(2007)
The use of medicinal plants for the prevention and treatment of gastro-intestinal parasitism has its origin in ethnoveterinaty medicine. Although until recently the majority of the evidence on the antiparasitic activity ...
