Eleven Saanen goats were selected for the study. Blood samples were collected by the jugular vein in 30, 15 and 7 days before the expected time of parturition (D-30, D-15, and D-7, respectively) and also 12 hours and 3, 7, 13, and 42 days post-partum (H+12, D+3, D+7, D+13, and D+42, respectively). The serum concentrations of fructosamine, glucose, albumin, and total protein were measured. The maximum concentration of fructosamine was at 12 hours post-partum and decreased thereafter. Serum concentration of glucose significantly increased from D-15 up to 12 hours post-partum and then decreased and stayed at the same level. The serum concentrations of albumin and total protein significantly increased during post-partum period. There were significant correlations between fructosamine and glucose concentrations at post-partum period and overall time of the study. Linear regression analysis between each sampling amount of glucose and three consecutive fructosamine concentrations revealed significant positive correlation between glucose of each sampling time with the fructosamine of first sampling time thereafter. According to the correlation between glucose and fructosamine amounts during the study, especially post-partum period in Saanen goat, fructosamine measurement could be used as a useful indicator of energy economy and probably stress in Sannen goat; but controversy between reports in ruminants needs further studies for better understanding of fructosamine as energy biomarker in ruminants.","PeriodicalId":36826,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Journal of Veterinary Science and Technology","volume":"10 1","pages":"27-32"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48844656","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 present study investigated a total number of 95 samples collected from 3 dairy farms in 3 different localities at Assiut Province including air (25), water (35) and manure (35) samples for detection of Salmonella species by bacteriological isolation, morphological, biochemical and serological identification followed by molecular characterization for the presence of 6 virulence genes; pefA (700 bp), mgtC (677 bp), stn (617 bp), sopB (517 bp), invA (284 bp) and avrA (422 bp) in Salmonella isolates. Bacteriological examination revealed the isolation of 3 (3.2%) Salmonella isolates from totally examined samples, which were identified serologically as 1 (2.9%) Salmonella enterica serotype Sandow isolated from water and 2 Salmonella enterica serotype Saintpaul from air and manure (one from each with 2.9% of each. Molecular characterization of the 3 Salmonella isolates revealed that all 6 tested virulence genes; except sopB (517 bp); presented in Salmonella enterica serotype Sandow isolated from water, while all 6 tested virulence genes found in Salmonella enterica serotype Saintpaul isolated from manure and found that invA (284 bp) was the only virulence gene located in Salmonella enterica serotype Saintpaul isolated from air. This study highlighted on the potential sources for Salmonella contamination moreover the epidemiology of salmonellosis in dairy farms that necessitate following of strict healthful measures to reduce the risk of Salmonella infection that still constitutes a significant world zoonosis particularly through contamination of dairy farm environments that contribute to extend the recycling of Salmonella that considered the most vital sources of animal and human infection with Salmonella.","PeriodicalId":36826,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Journal of Veterinary Science and Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80772604","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}

In this regards, information on the effect of Bovicola ovis (B. ovis) infestation on hematological values under experimental condition in Ethiopian sheep is not available. A total of 12 animals divided into two groups of six animals each were used in the experiment. Animals in one group were infested with 500 lice (Bovicola ovis) per sheep collected from different donor animals and the other group served as a non-infested control. Each group was observed for a period of eight consecutive weeks. The present findings demonstrated that the mean parasite burden/10 cm2 of skin was 16 in infested group whereas the control group did not have any lice. Packed cell volume was not significantly different between the two groups and values were in the normal range. On the other hand total RBC count was significantly lower for the infested group (P<0.05). Comparison of the leukocyte counts between the two groups indicated that the total count and eosinophil levels were significantly elevated in the infested group (P<0.05). In conclusion, B. ovis infestation results not only skin damage but also causes systemic changes that may significantly alter the physiological and health status of infested animals.","PeriodicalId":36826,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Journal of Veterinary Science and Technology","volume":"33 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76695144","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}

For better understanding of the above processes, nutrigenomics and endocrinomics; two emerging fields that are of great help to discover the differential expression and function of genes occur with different diets, have come up. Nutrigenomics is dealt with the effects of each and every bioactive chemical in foods and supplements that alter gene expression in an animal. On the other hand, nutrients alter the hormonal inter milieu of the animal thereby ‘turn on’ or ‘turn off’ of a particular set of pathways affecting ‘switching on’ or switching off’ of a defined set of genes (Endocrinomics). Hence, there is always a crosstalk between nutrigenomics and endocrino-genomics.

To get accurate results, the probes used in the microarray are to be specific to the species for which the array is being conducted. Non-availability of suitable microarray specific to mithun (Bos frontalis), a rare ruminant of Southeast Asia, limits its use to study the expression patterns of genes globally. Therefore, the authors designed the probes and developed a mithun-specific microarray for the first time. Transcripts obtained from bovine genome array in mithun tissues and from BLAST search were used to design probes and subsequent development of mithun-specific microarray. A total of 3,35,576 numbers of transcripts obtained from the next generation sequencing (through microarray using bovine genome array chips) of mithun tissues including several hundreds of unknown genes and others obtained for BLAST search (11,865) were used for designing the probes towards development of mithun-specific microarrays. A total of 3,47,441 probes were designed and length of each probe was 60 bp. The developed array has total features of 4,20,288, of which 4,16,505 features are readily available in the developed array. Besides, there are 3783 numbers of controls in the array to obtain high performance. In conclusion, the authors developed mithun-specific microarray using probes that are specific to this species for the first time. This microarray for mithun contains fully defined set of genes suitable for detailed analysis of expression of many genes involved in this species. The developed microarray will be of great use to analyze the molecular mechanisms controlling cell proliferation, differentiation in response to different treatments or variation in economic traits such as marbling and disease resistance in mithun.
