Supplementation of vitamin E with the diet of livestock had an essential role in the inhibition of lipid oxidation. Twenty four male kids weighing 10-15 kg were randomly allotted to four groups to receive four various levels of vitamin E. Control group (C), (300 E) group received 300IU vitamin E (DL-α-tocopherol acetate)/animal/day, (500 E) group supplied with 500IU vitamin E/animal/day and (1000 E) group provided with 1000IU vitamin E/animal/day. The animals were fed concentrate with barley hay diet to meet all nutrient requirements according to (NRC, 2007). Body weight was weekly recorded, and the initial and final weights were taken. At the end of the trial, the animals were slaughtered, and warm carcass weight, cold carcass weight and dressing % were determined. Meat samples from longissimus dorsi muscle were analyzed for pH, meat malondialdehyde content (MDA), intramuscular (I/M) fat and vitamin E content in meat and liver. In conclusion, the result revealed that vitamin E had no significant influence on growth performance, warm carcass weight, cold carcass weight and dressing %. Whereas, supplementation of vitamin E in the diet reduced pH, I/M fat and lipid oxidation. By comparison, vitamin E in the diet increased α-tocopherol content in the longissimus dorsi muscle and liver. Key Wards: Vitamin E, Growth Performance, Carcass Characteristics, Lipid Peroxidation.","PeriodicalId":299161,"journal":{"name":"Assiut Veterinary Medical Journal","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131318740","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The lambs in the study group were diagnosed for Escherichia coli by using a sheepspecific rapid diagnosis kit before being included in the group. Lambs to be included in the control group were selected from among the lambs that did not show any signs of disease and never had diarrhea after birth. Schirmer Tear Test was performed on both eyes of healthy and Escherichia coli and results were recorded. Group 1 Mean ± SD Schirmer Tear Test values for right and left eye were 6.47±1.55 and 7.33±1.45 mm/min and Group 2 Mean ± SD Schirmer Tear Test values for right and left eye were 15.7±9.07 and 17.5±8.36 mm/min, respectively. Comparison between Schirmer Tear Test values of right eyes and left eyes revealed no significant differences in either of groups (P=0.063, P=0.306).

The current experiment investigated the adverse effect of VCR on the brain and the potential neuroprotective effect of Erythropoietin (EPO) and Thymoquinone (TQ) or their combination against VCR toxicity in a rat model. The adverse effects were monitored by estimation of brain oxidative stress markers and neurotransmitters and by histopathological observation. Intraperitoneal injection of VCR (150 μg/kg) three times weekly for five consecutive weeks, significantly decreased both the level of glutathione (GSH) and the activity of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and significantly increased the lipid peroxidation (LPO), nitric oxide (NO) and glutamate levels. Moreover, VCR caused marked histopathological changes such as neuronal degeneration, demyelination, sub-meningeal edema, hemorrhage, dilatation of brain ventricles and hyperplasia of the choroid plexus. Co-treatment of rats with EPO (80μg/kg) and their combination with TQ (10 mg/kg) improved all VCR-induced changes, however, TQ alone improved almost all changes except neurotransmitters alterations. These results suggested that the combination of EPO and TQ had an obvious neuroprotective ef fect aga inst VCR neurotoxicity on oxidative stress markers, brain neurotransmitters levels and the histopathological findings in comparison with each one alone.","PeriodicalId":299161,"journal":{"name":"Assiut Veterinary Medical Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125761307","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
