Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMORPHOPHYSIOLOGICAL ADAPTATIONS OF THE GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT IN PIGLETS FED A SESAME MEAL OR SOYBEAN MEAL DIETAraceli Aguilera Barreyro, Tércia Reis de Souza, Gerardo Mariscal-Landín et al.An important indicator to recommend a protein source for piglet nutrition is the absence of intestinal damage. The effects of sesame or soybean meal based diets on Gastrointestinal Tract (GIT) morphophysiology, diarrhea incidence and severity in piglets were studied during the first two weeks post-weaning. Thirty-six piglets weaned at 21 days of age were fed one of three diets: A … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 11 Jan 2014 · 7,892 accessesView PDFCite

Approach: The aim of the present study is to perform … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 19 Jul 2012 · 10,085 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleInfrared Thermography and Metabolic Changes in Castrated Piglets due to the Effects of Age and the Number of Incisions in the TesticlesEfraín Pérez-Pedraza, Daniel Mota-Rojas, Miguel González-Lozano et al.The objective of the study was to evaluate infrared temperature and metabolic responses in different-aged piglets castrated surgically with one or two incisions. The piglets were divided into groups according to age (5- and 13-day old) and the number of incisions: simulated castration; castration with one incision (C1I5 and C1I13); and castration via two incisions (C2I5 and C2I13). Temperature evaluations … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 4 Oct 2018 · 8,177 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleASSESSMENT OF MIXED MINERALS BY OBSERVING INTESTINAL EPITHELIAL CELL ALTERATIONS IN PIGLETSChamroon Maneewan, Apichai Mekbungwan, Koh-En Yamauchi, Keisuke EdashigeThe experiment was conducted to assess the effect of dietary Mixed Minerals (MM) on intestinal epithelial cell morphology, villus height and area and growth performance in piglets. Thirty two-month-old hybrid piglets (15 kg BW) (Large White × Landrace × Duroc), consisting of 15 castrated males and 15 females, were allocated into three experimental groups with five replicates of one castrated … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 28 Jun 2014 · 7,113 accessesView PDFCite

L. Foo et al.Problem statement: Hypercholesterol and fatty acids in plasma are the main causes for cardiovascular disease. Reduction of risk factors from diet that associated with cardiovascular disease has much attention in animals as well as in human. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of feeding liquid metabolite combinations produced by five L. plantarum strains on the fatty … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 27 Dec 2010 · 7,632 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsImportance of blood gas measurements in perinatal asphyxia and alternatives to restore the acid base balance status to improve the newborn performanceH. Orozco-Gregorio, D. Mota-Rojas, M. Alonso-Spilsbury et al.Prolonged or intermittent asphyxia in utero and during farrowing weakens piglets and renders them less capable of adaptation to extrauterine life. Piglets with lesser viability at birth have increased blood pCO2 and blood lactic acid concentrations and decreased blood pH. Moreover, the ability to thermoregulate during an acute cold stress is inversely related to umbilical blood lactate concentrations. Blood gas … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,631 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSafe Technologies of Prophylactic Disinfection in the Presence of AnimalsBakhyt Barakhov, Zhaxylyk Myrzabekov, Nurgul Serikbai et al.Prophylactic disinfection in the presence of animals reduces the concentration of microorganisms in the air and thereby prevents various infectious diseases. The study aims to develop a technological mode of prophylactic disinfection in the presence of animals. As part of the disinfection measures, aerosol disinfection, wet disinfection, and foam disinfection were performed. Sanitation procedures used the preparations of Dezinfekt, Penodez, … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 2 · 5 Jun 2023 · 5,773 accessesView PDFCite
