Increasing concerns about the negative impact of AGPs have led to research on the use of natural feed additives in poultry feed to ascertain better performance and safety in the food chain. Herbs and substances of plant origin (garlic, oregano, thyme, anise, rosemary, and cinnamon) are defined as phytogenics, phytobiotics or botanical natural feed additives. Numerous studies on such substances in poultry production have shown more beneficial effects such as antimicrobial, antiviral, antioxidant, enhancing gut function, etc. These substances have several advantages over commonly used as growth promoters; they are residue-free and safe. Phytogenic substances gained much attention to be ideal growth promoters in poultry nutrition. However, evaluation methods of their effects and interactions with other medical treatments have to be improved. In general, phytogenic substances could be natural and safe growth promoters in animal and poultry feeds.","PeriodicalId":37665,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Veterinary Science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45386821","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 was carried out in Assuit governate, Egypt, over one year from 2018 to 2019, to assess the prevalence of fascioliasis in cattle and sheep. We clinically examined 835 animals (303 cattle and 532 sheep) from different private farms. We performed the fecal examination through a direct smear and did a sedimentation technique. The results demonstrated that fascioliasis was present in 20.8% of cattle and 17.1% of sheep, and the overall prevalence was 18.4%.

Other assessed risk factors (species, water, and feeding source) did not affect the infection level (P>0.05). By calculating the odds ratio, the sex was considered as a risk factor as odds ratio (OR) =5.879, 95% confidence interval (CI) 3.699-9.449. Categorized the animals into six groups.

However, the magnitude and intensity of increase in their concentrations may differ according to the type of injury or the causative agent of the disease which is not completely understood. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine major acute phase proteins (APP) concentrations in dogs with selected diseases and to compare the values among the various groups of dogs. The study was conducted on serum samples from 89 client-owned dogs with the following diseases: dogs with parvoviral enteritis (n=14), pyometra (n=21), acute pancreatitis (n=14), and babesiosis (n=39). Clinically healthy dogs (n=23) without any abnormal clinical conditions were also included in the study. The concentrations of serum amyloid A (SAA), haptoglobin (Hp), and C-reactive protein (CRP) were analysed in blood serum. The concentrations of all the evaluated APPs differed significantly between the groups of dogs (P<0.001). Although the average concentrations of all parameters were higher in diseased dogs compared to healthy animals, the magnitude of increase differed among the disease groups. Canine parvoviral enteritis and pyometra induced the most marked inflammatory response with the highest mean concentrations of SAA, Hp, and CRP. On the other hand, canine babesiosis was associated with less marked alterations among the evaluated diseases of dogs. The obtained data indicated that the investigated canine disorders were associated with different inflammatory responses, characterized by marked and significant differences in the assessed acute phase reactants.","PeriodicalId":37665,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Veterinary Science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44128672","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}
