Tribulus terrestris (Tt) is a natural herb used for its medicinal effects around the world. This study directed to detect the possibility of Tt to protect from Cd toxicity in adult male albino rats. Twenty-four rats were separated into four groups, each 6 rats: The first group (C); served as a control without any treatments. Group (2) (Tt + Cd); administrated daily by oral dose of Tt (5 mg/ kg b. wt. liquified in distilled water) for eight weeks then from the start of the ninth week, they daily injected intraperitoneally with Cd (2 mg/kg b. wt.) for eight days. Group (3) (Cd); injected with Cd only at the same dose for eight days. Group (4) (Cd + Tt); firstly, injected with Cd at the same dose for eight days then on the ninth day they had the same Tt dose for eight weeks. In this study, results clarified that Cd application significantly decreased plasma SOD level and the time spent in the opened arms of the elevated plus maze test while increased plasma levels of H 2 O 2 , CRP, IL-6, immunoreaction of brain cleaved caspase-3 and the time spent in the closed arms of the elevated plus maze test compared to control. Administration of Tt succeeded to increase SOD level and the time spent in the opened arms of the elevated plus maze test; however, it reduced plasma levels of H 2 O 2 , CRP, IL-6, immunoreaction of brain cleaved caspase-3 and the time spent in the closed arms of the elevated plus maze test in comparison with Cd group. In conclusion, Tt is highly protective for the brain from harmful Cd effects, referring to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antiapoptotic properties.","PeriodicalId":299161,"journal":{"name":"Assiut Veterinary Medical Journal","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136237928","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}

Enteroccoi is often isolated from environmental and animal sources and inhabits the human gastrointestinal tract. Enterococcus species, which gets its resources from the dairy industry, animals, and people, is one of the most abundant lactic acid bacteria in raw milk. The aim of the present study is to detect antibiotic resistance of Enterococci isolated from raw milk by phenotypic and genotypic methods. Vitek 2 Compact System was used to identify the samples and assess their antimicrobial susceptibility. Following that, drug resistance genes ( ermB , aph (3')-IIIa , and TetM ) and one virulence gene ( esp ) were molecularly detected by PCR. Twenty isolates of Enterococci were phenotypically identified by routine laboratory examination and Vitek2. High rates of antibiotic resistance were found to erythromycin and tetracycline with percentages of 65% and 35%, respectively. The presence of tetM and ermB in milk isolates was found to be 100%, similarly. No detection of aph (3′)IIIa was found in milk isolates. Esp was detected only in 5% of isolated samples. The prevalence of Enterococci among studied samples was 11.8% (20/170). The fact that Enterococci were resistant to erythromycin and tetracycline in our study was noteworthy since these bacteria could potentially be transmitted to people by drinking milk that has not been properly treated.","PeriodicalId":299161,"journal":{"name":"Assiut Veterinary Medical Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136237931","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}

Despite their economic losses, there isn't much information available on BVD in Assiut Governorate. Therefore, the present study's objectives were to determine the clinical findings, risk factors associations with the infection rate, and molecular diagnosis of BVD virus (BVDV). The current study was conducted on 50 cattle that belonged to different villages in Assiut Governorate, Egypt. The clinical examination findings revealed fever, oral lesions, diarrhea, respiratory symptoms, and corneal opacity. Serum samples were collected for laboratory analysis. Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay had been employed for BVDV diagnosis. BVDV RNA was found in the serum of seven cattle. There was no significant difference (P<0.05) between the percentages of BVD infection and the sex, age, and breed (native and mixed breed) of molecularly tested cattle. According to the climatologic circumstances of Assiut governorate, there was a discernible variation (P<0.05) between the BVD infection rate and the cold and hot months. It is advisable to emphasize how crucial it is to implement efficient preventative and control measures throughout Egypt in order to reduce the prevalence of BVDV.","PeriodicalId":299161,"journal":{"name":"Assiut Veterinary Medical Journal","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135109068","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}

However, many manufacturers increased their rate of addition as a cost-cutting measure, which is considered a means of adulteration. As a result, this study aimed to develop a reliable, fast, and accurate test for determining starch content in luncheon sausage, as well as to compare the results of this test with those of chemical analysis in order to determine its validity. To accomplish this goal, 2 mm thin slices of emulsion sausages containing 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25% starch were sprayed with a standard iodine solution. The time required for the blue color to fully disappear was calculated, the color intensity was photographed, and a color plate was developed. One thousand emulsion-type luncheon sausage samples belonging to different processing plants were examined for their starch content using both the developed color sheet and the chemical method. The produced sheet's results for > 25% and <5% starch were identical to those of the chemical analysis. However, findings for samples containing 5 to 25% starch showed a slightly lower accuracy (91-96%), but thankfully, the fading time provides a valuable method for determining the starch content. Therefore, the iodine test and the developed calibrated color sheet appeared to be an accurate, rapid, and reliable test for the quantification of starch in luncheon sausage.","PeriodicalId":299161,"journal":{"name":"Assiut Veterinary Medical Journal","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135209653","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}

Each treatment had 3 pens (1.5 m 2 ), and approximately four weeks were spent on the study. The HSD demonstrated reduced rates ( P < 0.05) of laying, locomotion, eating, preening and longer periods of tonic immobility. Final body weight and total body weight gain were significantly ( P < 0.05) reduced in the HSD. Also, HSD group showed increased ( P < 0.05) heterophil/lymphocyte ratio, serum corticosterone, glucose and cholesterol, and significantly increased gait issues and footpad and hock burns. However, no significant (P > 0.05) difference was found in litter quality (moisture, ASH, pH) and bone quality (tibiae and femurs measurements) between all treatments.
