This study aimed to determine which concentrations of soy lecithin can replace egg-yolk in modified INRA-82 semen extenders for the cryopreservation of horse semen. Semen was collected from six Arabian stallions and extended with modified INRA-82 semen extender supplemented with 0.0, 1.25, 2.50, and 5.0% soya lecithin. Frozen-thawed sperm motility was measured at 0, 1, 2, and 3 h. Viability index, sperm plasma membrane integrity (SPMI), and acrosome integrity in addition to the comet assay non-fragmented DNA, head DNA, tail DNA, tail length, and tail moment were statistically analyzed. The addition of 2.5% soya lecithin had the highest post-thaw sperm motility at 0, 1, 2 h (P < 0.001) and 3 h (P < 0.0001), the optimum viability index (P < 0.0001), SPMI (P < 0.05), acrosome integrity (P < 0.0001), non-fragmented DNA (P < 0.01), DNA in the comet head (P < 0.05), minimum DNA in the comet tail (P < 0.05), shortest comet tail length (P < 0.0001), and lowest comet tail moment (P < 0.01). Soy lecithin at concentrations other than 2.5% deteriorated all post-thaw semen parameters. Soy lecithin (2.5%) can replace egg yolk in the modified INRA-82 semen extender for the cryopreservation of good-quality stallion semen.","PeriodicalId":13839,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Applied Research in Veterinary Medicine","volume":"132 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135923396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bunun ötesinde gamet kriyopreservasyonunun gelişmesi, nesli tükenmekte olan türlerin korunması ve genetik banka oluşturulması için önemlidir. Bu çalışmada, köpek oositlerindeki düşük maturasyon oranlarına rağmen, partenogenetik aktivasyonun etkileri vitrifiye oositlerde test edildi. Köpek oositleri, Yıldırım Belediyesi Sokak Hayvanları Bakım ve Rehabilitasyon merkezinden alınan, 20 adet sağlıklı köpekten toplandı.

This study was conducted to assess a suitable extender, storage period and dilution rate for semen collected from the Horasi chicken ecotype. To accomplish the objectives, a 4 x 4 x 4 factorial experiment in a completely randomized design employing four extenders (BPSE, LAKE, CARI and garlic extract mixture), four dilution rates (1:2, 1:3, 1:4 and 1:5) and four storage periods (0, 12, 24 and 48 hours) was used. Semen samples were collected from ten Horasi cockerels using the abdominal massage technique, kept at 4°C and subsequently examined for semen motility, viability and normalcy after extension with specific diluent, each dilution rate and storage period. Sperm motility and viability were significantly (p<0.05) reduced across all extenders and dilution rates examined, while defective spermatozoa increased with storage period. The Beltsville Poultry Semen Extender (BPSE) maintained high spermatozoa motility, viability, and normalcy at all dilution rates and storage periods tested, followed by the CARI and LAKE extenders, whereas the Garlic extender performed worse at all dilution rates and storage periods than the other extenders, especially at a 1:5 dilution rate and 48 hours of storage. Based on our findings, a high percentage of sperm motility, viability, and normalcy for Horasi chicken ecotype semen were observed while using BPSE at a dilution rate of 1:2, and the quality was maintained throughout the storage period tested. Thus, it is concluded that BPSE extender at a 1:2 dilution rate is a suitable extender for Horasi chicken ecotype semen.","PeriodicalId":13839,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Applied Research in Veterinary Medicine","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134946451","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, there is a rising demand for natural additives that do not interfere with animal development or human health. Here, we compare studies on the use of essential oils as antimicrobial agents in broiler chicken diets. First, 90 papers were found using the key words “broilers”, “antimicrobial”, and “essential oils”. The second step was to select the papers according to the scales of Jadad and Medeiros and Stein, where six remaining researchers were selected to describe the antimicrobial activity of essential oils in response to enteric pathogens. Essential oils (EOS) have antimicrobial activity against different pathogens, such as E. coli, S. Enteritidis, S. Heidelberg and C. perfringens, and are considered alternatives to antibiotics used in animal production. The EOs that showed the greatest effectiveness were oregano essential oil (EO), cinnamaldehyde and thymol concentrates; when used together with additives such as sodium butyrate and xylanase, there was better antimicrobial action and improved animal performance. Ginger and carvacrol EOS also demonstrated antimicrobial activities, as did thymol, cinnamaldehyde and eucalyptus EO concentrates, but studies on the specific action of plant species that produce EOS for certain pathogens are still lacking; thus, the topic lacks an ongoing study addressing the addition of EOS in the feed of poultry production.","PeriodicalId":13839,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Applied Research in Veterinary Medicine","volume":"300 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134946447","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this study was to identify and document veterinary services and education challenges and their potential solutions in Sudan. A structured questionnaire survey was conducted and hosted online on the Microsoft Forms platform. The questionnaire comprised closed questions on participants’ demographics, veterinary profession challenges and potential solutions that were distributed through social media. A total of 357 participants identified the challenges and solutions through the prioritization of 30 and 29 multiple responses, respectively. The main top challenges identified were not giving priority to the veterinary sector (57.4%), migration of veterinary professionals (55.7%), inadequate allocation of resources to the veterinary sector (53.8%), practice of veterinary medicine by nonprofessional people (52.4%), and weak leadership and management (50.4%). The leading solutions suggested included training and capacity building (76.8%), spreading the culture of animal welfare (62.7%), application of the Animal Welfare Law (62.5%), giving priority to the veterinary sector (61.6%), and improving healthcare infrastructure (61.1%). We conclude that most problems and their solutions lie within the prioritization of the veterinary profession, veterinary professional migration, allocation of resources, leadership and management, culture and application of the Animal Welfare Law.

This effect is related to the degree of adaptation of the milking machines to the physiological requirements of the lactating animals. If the milking machine settings and liners are not suitable for all lactating animals on the farm, the teat condition will deteriorate and some animals may suffer from mastitis. For this reason, the company Siliconform, Germany, sets itself the task of developing better suiting milking machines for lactating animals, as the company has been in milking technology for 50 years and has a great amount of experience with all lactating animals such as cows, sheep, goats, and camels. First, milking machines for cows “MultiLactor” and Camels “StimuLactor” were developed. After the great success of using both milking machines, the focus was on the further development of the teat liners. The name of the new liner is “Stimulor Stressless”. These new liners have unique properties that are excellent for maintaining teat health during machine milking in all lactating animals. One of its distinguishing features is the presence of a wave-shaped design of its mouthpiece, which allows it to adapt well to the different teat sizes in a herd, thus ensuring consistent milking of the entire herd. In this way, the aim of our milking technology was achieved, which is to imitate the rhythmic process of calf suckling during machine milking as much as possible.","PeriodicalId":13839,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Applied Research in Veterinary Medicine","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77957515","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
