Influence of dietary mushroom Agaricus bisporus on intestinal morphology and microflora composition in broiler chickens
(2010)
In this study, we evaluated the intestinal morphology and bacteria populations in broiler chickens fed for six weeks diets that contained different amount of the mushroom Agaricus bisporus. Ninety day-old female chicks ...
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 ...
Toward a new practical energy evaluation system for dairy cows
(2009)
Energy evaluation systems translate an animal's net energy (NE) requirements into feed metabolisable energy requirements (MER). The Feed into Milk (FiM) project (Agnew RE, Yan T, France J, Kebreab E and Thomas C 2004. ...
Trematode infections in pregnant ewes can predispose to mastitis during the subsequent lactation period
(2014)
Objective was to investigate if trematode infections predispose ewes to mastitis and/or metritis. We used 80 trematode-infected ewes: primigravidae in group P-A and multigravidae in M-A remained untreated, primigravidae ...
Effects of dietary protein supply, weaning age and experimental enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli infection on newly weaned pigs: performance
(2008)
An experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of post-weaning dietary protein supply and weaning age on the performance of pigs in the absence of in-feed antimicrobial growth promoters (AGP) when artificially ...
Effects of dietary protein supply, weaning age and experimental enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli infection on newly weaned pigs: health
(2008)
Weaning is often associated with post-weaning colibacillosis (PWC), caused by enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC). The objective was to investigate the effects of manipulating dietary protein supply and increasing ...
Opportunities to improve nutrient efficiency in pigs and poultry through breeding
(2011)
Efficiency of food and nutrient (including energy) use are considered the key factors in the economic and environmental performance of livestock systems. The aim of this paper is to consider the basis of genetic variation ...
The effects of pathogen challenges on the performance of naive and immune animals: the problem of prediction
(2007)
Predictive frameworks for performance under both physical and social stressors are available, but no general framework yet exists for predicting the performance of animals exposed to pathogens. The aim of this paper was ...
Consequences of infection pressure and protein nutrition on periparturient resistance to Teladorsagia circumcincta and performance in ewes
(2009)
The consequences of protein nutrition on the degree of periparturient relaxation of immunity to nematode parasites in sheep may be more pronounced at higher levels of infection pressure. Here, we investigated interactive ...
